Lyrics :
One day you'll look
to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun...
Some day you'll know
I was the one
But tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun...
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know,
oo ooh...
One day you'll find
that I have gone.
For tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun...
Yah, tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun...
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know
oo oooh...
One day you'll find
that I have gone
For tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun...

ReplyDeleteTrivia:
ReplyDelete* This song was never played in the Beatles' repertoire, even in its earlier, more rocking form, as it was considered too weak to stand up onstage next to the band's other material.
* Paul McCartney wrote this before he joined The Beatles.
"I seem to remember writing it just after I'd had the flu...I remember standing in the parlour looking out through lace curtains of the window and writing that one." -McCartney
* Engineer Geoff Emerick explains: "At first they couldn't think of anything for Ringo to do - he played drums on a run-through, but it sounded all wrong, too aggressive and distracting; Paul wanted something more subtle. After a good deal of discussion, Paul came up with the idea of having Ringo just slap his legs in time, and that worked well. Enthralled, I watched (engineer) Norman (Smith) carefully position a mic between Ringo's knees; then, back in the control room, he cranked up the EQ to add some extra depth to the sound."
* The structure used in "I'll Follow The Sun" is one very familiar to the Beatles up to this point, consisting of a 'verse/ verse/ bridge/ verse' format (or aaba). Another verse follows, which is actually half solo / half verse, and then a repeat of the bridge and verse before it suddenly concludes.
* A nice detailed article on the song @
