“I’ll Follow the Sun” is a song by The Beatles. It is a melancholy ballad featuring Paul McCartney as the lead vocalist. The song was written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) The song was released on the Beatles for Sale album in 1964, but was written long before that year (a version recorded in 1960 can be found in the bootleg record You Might As Well Call Us The Quarrymen.
The song’s lyrics centre around a man who feels he is unappreciated by a woman. The song is believed to be him giving her an ultimatum, and that, as the lyrics state, “One day, you’ll look to see I’ve gone.” There is an unwillingness on the part of the song’s narrator that adds a tenderness and tragedy to his leaving: “And now the time has come, and so, my love, I must go. And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know…”
