This is George Harrison’s song and apparently he composed it on a day he escaped from one of those  boring business meetings of the Beatles. It is a positive song but it also has a dark side. Or at least it does to me.

I can’t help thinking of the worries at the time of a nuclear war and the sun having another meaning. This is why I’ve also included the lines “Over and Over Again” up the side of the work in the black area.(Eve of Destruction: Barry McGuire )  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfZVu0alU0I
