Paul McCartney Is Wrong About The Beatles' 'Here, There and Everywhere'

Paul McCartney is a huge fan of The Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere.” He said the track reminds him of Fred Astaire’s version of Cole Porter’s “Cheek to Cheek.” The song isn’t as good as other Beatles ballads like “Yesterday,” “Something,” and “In My Life.”

During a 2021 interview with NPR, Paul was asked why The Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere” is one of his favorite songs. “I think the structure of it,” he said. “I like it. It always reminds me, in structure, of a great Cole Porter song, ‘Cheek To Cheek,’ which Fred Astaire sang.

“And it starts off, ‘heaven, I’m in heaven, da la la la la,'” he added. “It goes through it. And then in the middle, it goes, ‘We’re out together dancing, da da da da da da.’ But it takes me back to heaven. And it’s so neat the way it just wraps itself up that I always thought, ‘Wow, that’s a great trick, you know?'”
