Martin Cilia - Here Comes the Sun
My first memory of "The Fab Four" was in early 1964. I was 5 years old.
The Beatles were performing at the London Palladium. No, I wasn’t there. But thanks to the little black and white television set in our front room, I had my introduction to Beatlemania. Our family was living in Rochford, Essex, near Southend-On-Sea and the mouth of the River Thames. A mere 40 miles east of London and all this excitement.
I can remember saying to my dad, “Why all the screaming? It’s hard to hear the music.” My dad smiled.
The song I remember from that performance is “All My Loving” which would have been a fairly new back then. They were so exciting and played with such enthusiasm. It’s a memory that has stayed with me all these years.
Here Comes The Sun is my take on some of their songs – with the guitar doing the singing. Oh, and by the way, I also wrote a song called “Abbey Road” to close out this album. My tribute. I hope that I’ve done them justice.
