Lovely comment. You might already know, but that's exactly how "Yesterday" came to him. 🩵✨️ And greetings from a fellow Trekkie!

Beautifully constructed song. McCartney is brilliant at that, and word play. He will often put subtle, clever easter eggs in his songs that most listeners will miss, just because he can. This song, for example. You may notice that each verse starts with a word in the title: here, there, then everywhere. I think Che noted a vital part of McCartney's genius, which is his sense of melody and harmony. And I'm glad you guys love his bass, which I have always thought is criminally underrated. Yeah, his melodies get into your head, and keep you company. If I recall correctly, McCartney said this is one of the very few songs Lennon complimented him on.

Paul McCartney said that John Lennon only complemented him once on a song that he had written. It was this song.

[@christianmarler2253]

Then John rubbed it in later with the song "How Do You Sleep?". I wonder if, in a moment of reflection, John ever regretted that song or not being more complimentary of Paul in general. I bet he did.

[@tommathews3964]

One of my absolute favorite vocal performances of all time! What a lovely song!

[@jesselobo3213]

This Beatles song is the first song I heard the Beatles sing on our local radio station in 1968. I still remember, we had just returned from Mexico and as we pulled in to our house "Here, There and Everywhere" was playing. It's amazing that I still have that memory.

It's the Beatles magic. It can't be explained. Like how can I listen to a Beatles song so many years later and feel it's magic? How can my young nephew also feel that same magic despite the songs being from 1966? It is beyond explaining. :-)

I think “bittersweet” might be a good word to describe what you were saying - and it hits hard cause that’s the flavor of real life when you’re fully present, isn’t it

[@lathedauphinot6820]

I’m glad y’all noticed Paul’s excellence on the bass. I knew you would. He plays like no one else. It’s fluid and natural. He’s also the best guitarist in the band. He played bass because no one else wanted to. He’s one of those rare guys who can pick up any instrument and play it well almost immediately and pull new sounds and ideas out of it right after that. To me, this is the best album they ever made. Nearly flawless.

[@DrVonChilla]

Paul McCartney LIVES FOREVER

[@mamared56]

"Changing my life with a wave of her hand", so beautiful.

[@gs8191]

No one on the Beatles played bass like Paul on the Beatles. The Let It Be album was recorded live in the studio (and rooftop) so John and George had to fill in on bass when Paul was on keyboards. If you watch the Get Back documentary, you could tell both John and George hated playing bass. That's why Billy Preston's impromptu visit to the Beatles while they were recording Let It Be was such a godsend. The 1st song he played on in the studio with them was Don't Let Me Down. Lennon wanted to get tapes of their sessions on the song for him to listen, but George said just let him play along and see what happens. He nailed his part immediately. Paul, who is a great pianist himself, the look of awe and the smile on his face that he shoots to Billy is priceless...

[@chrishayes4323]

The look on Paul's face when Billy started playing is my favorite part of the Get Back documentary, and I pretty much loved the entire 6 hours, or however long it was.

[@esdel1955]

One of the best songs ever written, imo. And yet, there was one group the Beatles looked up to: The Beach Boys. McCartney maintains that “God Only Knows” is the best pop song ever written. I would say “Warmth Of The Sun” is right up there with it. You guys should explore the genius of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

@esdel I always hear Beach Boys in this as well. Chicken or the egg, but it's there.

[@deathshead357]

Bruce Johnson from the Beach Boys was visiting London and had brought a copy of Pet Sounds with him (before it had been released). They all went back to someone's flat and listened to the album and Paul went home that night and wrote this song.

[@reddoxx4754]

McCartney said "It’s actually just the introduction that’s influenced [by the Beach Boys]… John and I used to be interested in what the old fashioned writers used to call the verse, which we nowadays would call the intro…this whole preamble to a song, and I wanted to have one of those on the front of ‘Here, There and Everywhere.’ John and I were quite into those from the old-fashioned songs that used to have them, and in putting that [sings “To lead a better life”] on the front of ‘Here, There and Everywhere,’ we were doing harmonies, and the inspiration for that was the Beach Boys. We had that in our minds during the introduction to ‘Here, There and Everywhere.’ " He claimed to have come up with the song's chords while sitting next to the swimming pool at Lennon's house in Weybridge waiting for Lennon to wake up.

When you said - ",,,,,,, It's something about their melodies that kind of dig into your soul." That is the most accurate description of what Beatles songs do to people, I've ever heard. I've seen people cry, when Paul Macartney band plays Please Please me more than 50 years after it hit the world. People cry - and so did I - on hearing the last Beatles song - Now and then. Indeed - the Beatles' melodies do dig into your soul.

Don't forget the singles! The Beatles forever clanged the way music was sold and consumed from the single song to the album as the artistic unit, but that hadn't happened yet when they were releasing all this stuff in just a few years. And they refused to put the songs they released as singles--arguably their BEST songs--on albums. "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" is the single thst came out of the sessions that yielded this album. I say listen to it as well!

[@westfale520]

Certainly a good song. But I like more the experimental songs on Revolver. They were revolutionary in 1966 and are still influential today. When I was young in the late 1970s - 1980s, it was standard practice for every underground band to play a piece of revolver after on stage in smoky pubs

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Brian Wilson’s God Only Knows was an inspiration for this song. When you listen to 1970s balladeers or soft rock, you can trace them all back to Paul. Don’t you love the cover art? Bassist Klaus Voormann who worked with Lennon primarily.

[@reddoxx4754]

Three out of four of the Beatles used Voormann as a bassist several times. He played with Lennon on the singles Cold Turkey, Instant Karma!, and Power to the People, and on the albums Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Walls and Bridges, and Rock 'n' Roll. He also played at a 1969 performance for a UNICEF concert that made up part of the Live Jam section of Lennon's Some Time In New York City album. He played with George Harrison on four albums: All Things Must Pass, Living in the Material World, Dark Horse, and Extra Texture (Read All About It), and he played at the Concert for Bangladesh shows. He played with Ringo Starr on three albums: Ringo, Goodnight Vienna, and Ringo's Rotogravure. And he worked with many others besides the former Beatles.
