Strangely enough, "Here Comes the Sun" has never been one of my favorite George Harrison songs.  I think he has done quite a few that were better than that.  But I'm definitely overruled on that.  Not only is it consistently ranked as one of the best Harrison songs, but it's one of the most popular Beatles songs, period.  It's considered the most popular Beatles song with the Spotify and iTunes generation, being timeless and having universal appeal.  But when I, for instance, listen to Abbey Road, it's "Something" which overshadows HCTS for me.  Nevertheless, if people want to like HCTS a lot, there will be no complaints from me. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

It has a compelling uplifting, positive vibe to me. That's why I always like to hear it.
