Here Comes the Sun

[Craig Sefa]

No time for a post this week because I'm helping with a retreat, but I wanted to chime in with a quick memory of this song.

I was volunteering at a home for teenagers who were in state custody because of abuse and similar tragic family situations. A friend of the chaplain came to play a concert for the kids.

He was a brilliant guitarist, and he was homeless, living on the streets with nothing but a guitar someone had given him to panhandle a little money for food.

"Here Comes The Sun" was his opening song, and from a homeless man to a group of traumatized youth, the lyrics had a whole new level of power and meaning.

It was such a hit they asked him to play it again before he left. Most of them had never heard it before. He worked with us to make a recording for the kids and it was one of the best gifts they ever got.

Here comes the sun, indeed. It wasn't trite. It was prophetic. It gave genuine hope to people in hopeless situations.

Thanks for bringing this back to mind.

Great story! George Harrison said if you play around with an open D you’re bound to make these sounds. But we’ve all played around in open D, and still just a few can find those sounds. A beautiful guitar song!
