When discussing his song "Here, Where and Everywhere", Paul McCartney often calls Brian Wilson "God Only Knows" the main source of inspiration. The latter song appeared on 1966's The Beach Boys album Pet Sounds, which in turn was influenced by The Beatles Rubber Soul, was released in December 1965. On May 17, 1966, a day after the new Beach Boys album has been released in America, McCartney and John Lennon attended a private listening party for Pet Sounds held at the London Waldorf Hotel.
Very impressed by Wilson's songs, McCartney wrote "Here, There and Everywhere" two weeks later at Lennon's home in Weybridge, while waiting for Lennon to wake up. McCartney recalled: "I sat by the pool on one of the sun loungers with my guitar and started picking in E. And soon [I] had some chords, and I thought that by the time he woke up, I had written enough songs so we take it into the room and finish it. "

Music structure
Writer Kenneth Womack describes "Here, There and Everywhere" as a romantic ballad "about living here and now" and "fully experiencing a conscious moment". This verse is based on the order of the major chords, while the middle of the eight (into 4 bars), which modulate into a relative tonic - if it is small, creates contrasting telling. Initial introduction "To live a better life" opens in G key and involves I-iii- ? III-ii-V 7 chord. Button? III on "I need my love to be here" (echoed in a line melody) is a substitute for dissonance for VI that can predicted (E 7 ) which usually leads to chord ii (Am). Music critic Richie Unterberger considers that this "lyric opening" contains a nearly philosophical tone of humility, admitting that the singer needs her not only to be happy but to be a better person.
This verse opens very anchored to "Here" in the G key (with a simultaneous I (G chord) and a melody of G note) and moves equally predictably to the shift of the I-ii-iii-IV chord (G-Am-Bm- C) through "making every day of the year". It repeats "Transforming my life with waves"; but soon after (at bar 5) the song actually changes on "his hand". Drop the six semitones from IV (C chord) to vii (add a non-G C # scale) then V-of-vi (B 7 ) chord [add non-G scale D ? ] which briefly modulate against the new E minor tonics. McCartney mostly sang a B note ("his hand") above F ? m, where it is eleventh, and B 7 , where it is a tonic. When the sequence is repeated ("nobody can"), McCartney sings B and C ? for F ? m, C naturally generates tritone.
The harmonious attraction with the segment of the bridge that begins "I want him everywhere" is that at that moment the central lock does go "going nowhere". This shifts through the chord F 7 (a ? VII in the old G key and V 7 in the key B ? new to I-vi-ii chord progression (B ? -Gm-Cm) in B < span>? Then shift again through D 7 chord (a III 7 in key B ? and V 7 in the new Gm key) to the G minor where we undergo i-iv progress (Gm-Cm chord) Finally pivot D 7 brings us back to the main G tonic and reinforces the "Everywhere" melody note.
Rolling Stone has recorded: "The sequence of the song's song has the effect of Brian Wilson, strolling through three related keys without ever being fully one, and modulation - especially the one on the phone that changes my life with his waves" - with deftly underlined the lyrics, inspired by McCartney's boyfriend, actress Jane Asher. "
Recording

Unterberger's comments on the recording: "Exquisite exquisite delights, more explicit sensual imagery, a real sense of desire and satisfaction." Less impressed, Ian MacDonald admired "musical ingenuity" but concluded that "for all its soft-focus charm, the overall effect of the song is chintzy and somewhat nasty."
