I'll follow the sun

"I'll Follow the Sun"是英國搖滾樂隊the Beatles的一首歌曲。這一首感情基調憂傷的民謠，由Paul McCartney演唱和創作，最後歸於Lennon–McCartney. 包含此歌的英國專輯Beatles for Sale在1964年發行，包含在美國專輯Beatles '65中。但其實這首歌很早之前便被創作出來了，一個1960年的版本在唱片You Might As Well Call Us the Quarrymen中就能被找到。

歌詞以及賞析

One day you'll look to see I've gone

For tomorrow may rain,

so I'll follow the sun

Some day you'll know I was the one

But tomorrow may rain,

so I'll follow the sun

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, oooh

One day you'll find that I have gone

But tomorrow may rain,

so I'll follow the sun

Yeah, tomorrow may rain,

so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come

And so my love I must go

And though I lose a friend

In the end you'll know, oooh

One day you'll find that I have gone

But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

這個首歌的歌詞中心圍繞著一個認為自己不被一個女人所賞識的男人。大家都相信這首歌是他給她的最後通牒， "One day, you'll look to see I've gone." 在這一部分的旁白中顯示出了一種不情願，正是這種不情願給他的離去增添了一種柔軟甚至悲劇感。 "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"重複的句子中，這種不情願伴隨著他結束了這次分手 "but tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun."
