The Beatles have dropped a heart-rendering new video for the George Harrison-penned “Here Comes the Sun.” The release is timed with the anniversary of Abbey Road, which turned 50 on Thursday.
Directed by Trunk Animation’s Alasdair Brotherston and Jock Mooney, the clip features vintage photos of the group floating throughout Abbey Road Studios’ Studio Two, where they cut the iconic album. Photographed by Linda McCartney, the images fly past instruments, rising up above Ringo Starr’s drum kit to form a gigantic, golden sun.
The clip shifts to animation of the Fab Four’s feet crossing the famous road, with a white bird watching over them. It concludes with footage of the band’s final photo session on May 4th, 1969, nearly a year before they announced their breakup in 1970. The group stands in England’s Tittenhurst Park surrounded by wildflowers, on the same grounds as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s home Berkshire.
