The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere

The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere 1966

"Here, There and Everywhere" is a song written primarily by Paul McCartney(credited to Lennon/McCartney), recorded for the Beatles 1966 album Revolver. In his biography Many Years From Now, McCartney said the song is one of his favourites. Beatles' producer George Martin has also mentioned it as one of his favourite McCartney songs. John Lennon reportedly told McCartney it was "the best tune on the album" and said in his 1980 Playboy interview it was "one of my favourite songs of the Beatles." It was ranked the 4th greatest song of all time by Mojo in 2000.

The song is noted for its simplicity, its melody and the lush texture of the backing voices upon which its arrangement is based. McCartney mentioned in the 1989 radio series McCartney On McCartney that the much-praised vocals were meant to have a "Beach Boys" sound. He has said he was trying to sing it in the style of Marianne Faithfull. His vocals are multi-tracked. The verse is based on an ascending major chord sequence, while the middle eight, which modulates to the tonic minor, creates a telling contrast.

* Paul McCartney -- double-tracked vocal, acoustic guitar, bass, finger-snaps
* John Lennon -- backing vocal, finger-snaps
* George Harrison -- backing vocal, lead guitar, finger-snaps
* Ringo Starr -- drums, finger-snaps
* George Martin -- producer
