“Here, There, and Everywhere” was thus composed by Paul while sitting at John’s pool waiting for John to drag his butt out of bed. Paul would have breakfast with Cynthia and then play with Julian a bit and when John stil wasn’t awake as the clocked ticked toward noon, Paul would get to work writing alone. To make it easier for John, Paul would agree to go to John’s house in the morning to spend the day writing. As a result, during their touring days, when they so rarely had time when they weren’t either on the road or in the studio, Paul liked to schedule writing sessions with John on their days off. When inspired, he could do extraordinary things (for example, after hearing Paul’s “Can’t Buy Me Love” early in the “Hard Day’s Night” recording sessions, John was so jealous the he proceeded to rapidly crank out 10 of the 12 other tracks that made the album), but when not inspired, he’d prefer to be sleeping. He considered songwriting to be no different than any other job in that it was something you had to wake up in the morning and do regardless of whether you felt particularly inspired that day. Paul was famously the “worker bee” of the Beatles. Ken from PhiladephiaThey don’t explain the full story behind Paul writing this song by John’s pool. It wasn't until "Coming Up" that he felt he should get back to work. John found Paul's Wings career post-BOTR so uninspiring that he retired for five years. Angela from NcKen from Philadelphia - "When inspired, he could do extraordinary things (for example, after hearing Paul’s “Can’t Buy Me Love” early in the “Hard Day’s Night” recording sessions, John was so jealous the he proceeded to rapidly crank out 10 of the 12 other tracks that made the album), but when not inspired, he’d prefer to be sleeping.".Tomdef from Ct.Why does John Lennon sing lead on the recorded version of here there and everywhere ?.We had that in our minds during the introduction to 'Here, There and Everywhere.'I don't think anyone, unless I told them, would even notice, but we'd often do that, get something off an artist or artists that you really liked and have them in your mind while you were recording things, to give you the inspiration and give you the direction - nearly always, it ended up sounding more like us than them anyway." 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 on the front of 'Here, There and Everywhere,' we were doing harmonies, and the inspiration for that was the Beach Boys. Said Paul: "It's actually just the introduction that's influenced. It was at least partly inspired by The Beach Boys' song " God Only Knows." McCartney was asked in 1990 about the influence of The Beach Boys on this song by Brian Wilson biographer David Leaf. Paul McCartney wrote this song while he was lounging at John Lennon's pool.
