George Harrison writing “Here Comes The Moon,” Hawaii, February 1978

“George loved the tropics and was always happiest there. He was inspired and wrote several songs during those days – ‘Dark Sweet Lady,’ ‘Soft Hearted Hana’ and ‘Here Comes the Moon’, the lyrics of which are dated 25/2, his birthday. […]
Memories of those nights together are a gift… him playing acoustic guitar or ukulele under a big moon where the nights were warm and we cheated the English winter of the chance to chill our bones. In spite of the human tendency to take one’s mate for granted, even then I was well aware that these were precious moments. I was also blissfully ignorant of how short our days together were meant to be. Those memories resound with love and reverence for the rest of my life and I don’t mind saying on this occasion that they are ‘Mine’.” – Olivia Harrison in the introduction to the 2002 edition of I Me Mine [x]
