Inspired by the words of George Harrison and the work of the organization Sweet Relief, Angela McCluskey has recorded a version of Here Comes The Sun that she hopes will help raise awareness, and much needed funds, for the SWEET RELIEF MUSICIANS FUND: an organization dedicated to helping musicians who are battling debilitating illnesses.sweetrelief.org
This interpretation of the legendary song was arranged by Paul Cantelon (The Diving Bell &The Butterfly, W, Everything is Illuminated, Conviction and currently in theaters The Music Never Stopped).
The sales from all digital stores will go directly to Sweet Relief. There is no agenda here, other than helping give back to the people who have given so much to us. It’s basically a giant thank you to all the great musicians of the world who have helped enrich our lives and who now find themselves struggling to cope.
The video was directed by acclaimed photographer Jason Armstrong Beck,produced by Dawn Fanning and David Moore (Downloading Nancy) with cinematography by Oscar-nominated Seamus McGarvey (Atonement, The Soloist, World Trade Center,) and production design by Franckie Diago (City Island, Treme, The Beaches of Agnes) and stars Sharon Angela (The Sopranos, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai).
