Everybody loves to cover The Beatles - amateur musicians, other rock bands and rocks, just to name a few.

Oh yes, we mean actual, skip-over-the-lake rocks. They also like to cover The Beatles.

Artist Neil Mendoza made electromagnetic instruments that use rocks to make sounds. Coordinated and together, the rocks create one of the best covers of "Here Comes the Sun" we've heard in a while.

"The song that they're playing, Here Comes the Sun, is biographical," Mendoza says in the description to his video on Vimeo, "describing the daily experience of a rock sitting on the ground."

Clearly, Mendoza was able to bring at least some rocks to life. We thank them for the sweet music we didn't know they were capable of making.
