Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let’s go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.
As always, thanks to @ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendations.
Today’s set leans warm and emotional: a restored classic, a cover that becomes something new, and one of Jeff Lynne’s most intimate tracks. All three sit in that space between nostalgia and renewal.
George Harrison – Here Comes The Sun (2025 britt2001b remix)
The original is so well-known it risks becoming invisible. This remix pulls it out of the air and surprises you again. This is such an incredible remix that it sounds as if it were recorded just yesterday on modern equipment.
What really struck me is how George’s voice returns to the center. It’s not softened, not smoothed over, but clarified. The harmonics feel fresher, the phrasing more present, and the whole track opens up in a way that reminds you how tender the song actually is.
It’s less “this old classic again?” and more “wait, listen to what he was doing here.”
If you’ve ever wanted to hear the song as if for the first time, this version comes close. I mean, seriously, this is good!
Carly Simon, Jimmy Webb, & David Crosby – “In My Room” (Beach Boys Cover)
Covers can go wrong in two ways: either they mimic too closely or they deviate without purpose. This one does neither.
Carly Simon brings a softer, more fragile lead; Jimmy Webb adds that open-hearted steadiness he’s known for; and David Crosby, naturally, threads in harmonies only he could produce. Together they reshape the song into something both reverent and brave.
They don’t try to replicate the Beach Boys’ impossible blend. Instead they reinterpret the emotional core: the quiet, protective space you retreat to when the world gets too loud.
It becomes less adolescent yearning and more adult honesty. A genuinely great reinterpretation.
The only con is we don’t have a cleaner version.
Electric Light Orchestra – “Telephone Line”
Jeff Lynne writes loneliness with a kind of cinematic gentleness. “Telephone Line” is pure longing: midnight pacing, waiting for a call that might not come, talking into the void anyway.
This is trademark Lynne: warm, dense, layered without ever feeling heavy.
So what’s your favorite?

@dbooster, thanks for updating,I really enjoyed Here Comes The Sun ☀️.
I've always kind of loved ELO. I feel like they don't get as much respect as they deserve. They just have some really brilliant stuff.
