WARMTH OF THE SUN ant power JFK Wilson and Love began composing the song on the night of November 21, 1963 and completed it early the following morning, mere hours before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.[1] The subsequent recording of the song was informed by the emotional shock felt by its authors in the wake of Kennedy's death. "The Warmth of the Sun" was started in the early morning hours of the same morning that President Kennedy was killed in Dallas. The melody was so haunting, sad, melancholy, that the only thing that I could think of lyrically was the loss of love, when interest slips and feelings aren't reciprocated…though I wanted to have a silver lining on that cumulus nimbus cloud so I wrote the lyrics from the perspective of, "Yes, things have changed and love is no longer there, but the memory of it lingers like the warmth of the sun." I think it's really impactful and memorable…one of my favorite songs from an emotional and personal point of view.
