Here There and Everywhere was written by Paul McCartney in 1966 and was based on his romance with then girlfriend Jane Asher. Both John and Paul had said that it was their favourite Beatles' song. Paul had been influenced by Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, especially the quality of  'God only knows' and wanted to write a song that had captured a similar mood.

The song is one of my personal favorites and the namesake of this very blog. References: A hard days write- by Steve Turner, if you are a Beatles fan I highly recommend you own this book. It is an invaluable piece of literature because it is the story behind every Beatles' song.
