“To lead a better life, I need my love to be here”
McCartney's tender Revolver ballad, written at John's pool in Weybridge and inspired by Pet Sounds. The opening word of each verse – Here, There, Everywhere – telescopes outward; the bridge modulates from G to B♭ and through G minor before returning home.
