- What was John Lennon's favourite Beatles song??
Well, it's on record that 'Here, There and Everywhere' was up there as one of them. Which is rather cool when you think that it's actually penned by Paul McCartney. But hardly surprising as it's undoubtedly one of the best songs ever written and up there with many a Beatles fan favourite (mine included!)
What makes it so brilliant? In this video, I liken it to being like a beautifully cut diamond, sparkling from every angle. It has a rather unusual modulation in it but it is almost seamlessly done and only serves the song all the more when it return back to the home key.
And songwriters take note - Paul McCartney hooks you in with the most incredible opening refrain that hints at the incredible harmony and beauty that is to come. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word!

Definitely one of the most beautiful, most complete love songs ever written - its amazing chord progression and its lyrical beauty set it apart.
Thankyou , very interesting
It's a warm summer night and I'm here in front of my piano, watching this video while playing with you, crying like a baby because this is my all time favourite song and you made me realize that it's even more beautiful than i thought it was (which was a lot) and i didn't know it was even possible... Thank you so much❤
Wow what a lovely comment to receive...! Very cool to hear this. It truly is an astonishingly good composition. Its brilliance often makes me cry too!
Totally amazing key shifts. Man oh man, Maca!
Thank you for confirming why this is my all time favorite song. I vacillate between this and God Only Knows but your insight sealed the deal.
Ha yes I agree it’s a close call! You probably already know that GON is Macca’s favourite song!?
Really appreciated the musical insights. I loved reading The Lyrics as well - added new layers to my love of Paul's music.
Yes I think those books are so well done. It's clearly edited but feels very much like he's just talking to you. Did you hear him reading excepts on radio 4 too? Really nice
Fantastic review! You do a great job of breaking this beautiful track down
@@tommyjames3105 thanks very much! It was a fun one too look at :)
Lovely! You certainly do that tune justice.
Thanks Michael!
That chromatic move around 4:42 sounds so good on the piano, actually might've preferred that to the guitar lead they used on the recording.
very bond-esque
@@hen3vz ha definitely!
I believe George Martin also said this was one of his favourite Beatle songs. Thanks for your breakdown, the chord progression is magical indeed and the key shifts are so effortless.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :) Yes I believe so - he made a great record where celebs and artists sang reimagined versions of his favourite Beatles songs and this was on there - sung by Celene Dion if I remember correctly!
@@manatsea6966 yes, I did see a documentary that showed a few of the recording sessions... would you know where I can listen to see the whole album? Thanks in advance!
@@paullim8042 I’m not sure to be honest. I did have it on cd a long time ago. Here’s the Jim Carey track - czcams.com/video/-jkaX3XKxGI/video.htmlsi=eJUEkZzgAwNI57N1
@@manatsea6966 It's alright, thanks so much!
What are the grace note, we’ll grace chords, that you play in the middle of the bridge? I usually descend 4 semitones from F because I could never fir George’s riff in
