"Here, There and Everywhere" is a song by Paul McCartney (though credited to Lennon-McCartney), recorded for The Beatles 1966 album Revolver. It was John Lennon's favourite McCartney song, and is also McCartney's favourite song of his own. Written at the poolside of John's house, the song was inspired by Paul's then fiancιe Jane Asher.
The song is known for its bitter-sweet tune, a creative harmonic scheme, and subtle arrangement. Many have claimed it to be a landmark triumph of the soft rock genre. Critics of the track allege that the song was inspired by the kind of material Brian Wilson crafted for The Beach Boys on the classic Pet Sounds album. The cheerful melody of the verses is counteracted by the more haunting minor modes of the bridge.
This track features one of McCartney's highest vocals; he said in his autobiography that he was actually trying to sing it in the style of Marianne Faithfull. Paul's vocals are multi-tracked.
Noted performers who have covered "Here, There and Everywhere" include Emmylou Harris, Clay Aiken, Jose Feliciano (instrumental) and Cιline Dion (for a George Martin/Beatles tribute album).
