LVAG announces the upcoming Online Art Gallery Show “Here Comes the Sun.” “Here Comes the Sun” conveys the idea of seasonal changes.
George Harrison of the Beatles wrote the song "Here Comes the Sun". It is about the hope and relief that comes with the arrival of spring and the changing of the seasons. The song's lyrics express the idea that even when times are hard, there is always a new day and a fresh start.
