Of * course * The Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine" deserves a spot on Revolver!

My definitive ranking of Beatles sun songs, to those interested parties, is as follows:

1. Here Comes The Sun (a masterpiece)
2. Good Day Sunshine
3. Sun King (eccentric, hypnotic, lovable, but not peak Beatles)
4. I'll Follow The Sun (a solidly good song, ultimately a little insubstantial by comparison against the others)

I had intended to include this ranking in the video, but forgot until the very moment I stopped recording, so here it is, in written form. What's yours?

Folks, Reddit isn't so thrilled about this song - sacrilege! So please enjoy 24 minutes and 39 seconds of my rebuttal (tl;dr: they're patently incorrect, this song is great.)

In this episode: an abundance of dappled sunlight, a generous helping of musical rapture, and a little help from my friend Lenny.

For those of you with a burning desire to generally support what I do (or to see how badly I can screw up a Yellow Submarine arts and crafts project), I'm here to help you along in that journey: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fathommu... (but no pressure, friends☺️)

Happy Friday, folks!
