pictures of our favorite beatle or of ourselves? Like ME? clarify and ya, I'll send a pic of me....I'd love to see what you do with your upcoming project..
Time has proven that Lennon's melodic sensibility was extraordinary. The harmonic beauty of " If I Fell " is early evidence of that. The mystical quality of all four Beatles creating memorable songs together is glorious and timeless. It was truly a marriage of men made in heaven.
ABSOLUTELY!! interesting how underrated that song is. it was a hit so people think they understand this song but this song is quite deceptive in its brilliance!
@@mart9468 He complimented Paul as well! “‘All My Loving’ is Paul, I regret to say. Ha-ha-ha. Because it’s a damn good piece of work. [Singing] ‘All my loving…’ But I play a pretty mean guitar in back.” - John Lennon But Here, There and Everywhere is the only time he complimented Paul’s music to his face, according to Paul himself.
@@niggato23 interesting choice for favourite song of all time but it sure is a masterpiece, way ahead of it's time, Lennon and McCartney were an amazing team
Paul obviously misremembers the event of John complimenting the song, but before you conspiracy freaks go nuts again - Paul is the Beatle that biographers praise for having the most accurate memory among the four. They went through so many record sessions, movie recordings, events, photo shoots, concerts etc, and it’s all more than 50 years ago. Even though the fans have a wider knowledge of the band than they did themselves, it’s awfully strange that they remembered as much as they did to begin with, except Ringo who hardly remembers anything at all (Fingo? Haha!). Paul is the only strong direct source we have left and he’s generally a phenomenal one. With that said, John complimenting that track obviously means a lot to Paul, so it must’ve happened. I suspect it happened during an early playing of Revolver. It was common for them to play the test pressings at private parties. Paul simply confused the timeline and assumed it must’ve been when they were in Austria and listened to the demo tapes that were about to become the Help! album. Easy mistake. The song in question at that time was probably Yesterday, as mentioned in the video. :)
true that!! I've got nowhere near the musical career and just remembering some of the gear we used on a recording we did last year is a challenge!! So yeah... can't blame 'em for missing a piece or two of the puzzle!!!!
Another fun fact related to this song is that Frank Ocean in his song, White Ferrari samples it! He also cited the Beatles as a massive influence while making the Blonde album
I didn't realize how wonderful this song was until I learned it on guitar. The combination of the voicing with the guitar are just perfect. The lyrics are flawless. Man Paul was good!
Looked at through this prism, we can see the tangible reasons why Revolver, in retrospect, was such a significant album. McCartney's contribution to this was truly significant, pairing the charming sentimentality and genius lyricism of Here, There and Everywhere with the almost devastating poignancy, even desolation of For No One. Add in some incredible songwriting from Harrison and Lennon contributing to his normal high standard (and also contributing the groundbreaking Tomorrow Never Knows and the heavy rock style of She Said She Said) and it's simply impossible to go past this album. The fact they were still scheduling tours around the recording of Revolver simply adds to the level of achievement that it represents. Hard to go past Revolver as the greatest Beatles album in my view.
Oh and, of course, how could I forget the third and most dramatic of the McCartney triumvirate on Revolver, Eleanor Rigby? Possibly the greatest of the three, with its incredibly perceptive insight into loneliness.
@Luke nope it sure won't. "Best Beatle album" is way too personal for the internet to resolve. For me alone, Revolver has grown on me. For a long time the transitional feel of Rubber Soul was 'Best', then it was The White Album. Sometimes Abbey Road. Meanwhile Revolver and Sgt. Pepper I can respect as great works but they don't hit me as hard viscerally--I appreciate them more than I love them And yeah, I'm one of those people who view Rubber Soul or maybe Yesterdau and Today as their debut album😏
@@casemaker1 Yes. What an existential commentary on loneliness and alienation! The string arrangement is genius, particularly the counterpuntal cello line. Especially considering that to this day Paul can't read music. The only song where none of the Beatles plays their instrument. Amazing work for a 24 year old Loveable Lad from Liverpool. 😁
Sometimes you see someone and know instantly you could hang with them for the long haul. This is why I love this channel. From one Beatles lover to another, thanks.
The Brian Wilson influence is impossible to miss! The note interval of “making each day of the year” is extremely Pet Sounds, particularly noticeable in the “be without you” harmony in the outro of God Only Knows and the “you break my heart” line in Caroline, No :)
@@yoblol Yes, both John and Paul were completely amazed by Pet Sounds, and the melodic influence is clear. It is one of the greatest records ever made, after all!
Luke I definitely agree. Pet Sounds stood out from the usual 60’s sunshine pop about holding hands and being happy together. It’s an early example of pop music being allowed to handle depression as a general subject. Brian was depressed all through the creation of it and it’s quite clear when you think about it. “God Only Knows” is built around the hypothesis of being left by his lover. “Caroline, No” is built around the sadness of losing innocence. Even a cheerful song like “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” deals with the frustration of being young, and so does “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times”, while also portraying how lost he felt in their generation. “I Know There’s An Answer” deals with psychedelic drugs, “That’s Not Me” deals with losing yourself, “You Still Believe In Me” deals with being given a second chance in spite of being flawed. It’s a mature and heavy album. Tony Asher should of course get the lyrical credit, but Brian expressed the general idea of the words and put beautiful, complex and wistful music to them. Completely innovative and groundbreaking. Truly a masterpiece of popular music.
Here there and everywhere was recorded ONE MONTH after pet sounds was released. So not so sure it had anything to do with pet sounds. I mean, maybe paul wrote and recorded it that quickly because of pet sounds. But that seems pretty quick since they already were in the middle of making a record. Obviously he was hugely influenced by the album. But I also get a little annoyed when some say that Pet Sounds basically shaped the beatles sound. I think Mac definitely was inspired by it. But brian did that whole album basically trying to do the beatles. So, not sure what's influencing what. LOL. Lennon was less affected by it as was george.
@@urwholefamilydied HTAE was recorded on June 14, 1966. Pet Sounds was released on May 16, 1966. Paul probably wrote it not long before it was recorded, maybe a week or two (Wikipedia says early June 1966). That's plenty of time for Paul to have listened to Pet Sounds many times and try to copy stuff from it. Personally I've had my own theory that HTAE was kinda sorta copying "You Still Believe In Me" from Pet Sounds. The two songs are very similar.
my parents danced to this song at their wedding. It is always hard for me to say what is my favorite Beatles song but if I had to choose on the top of my head I would say Here, There and everywhere cause it is such beautiful song that always brings joy to me when I listen to it. You don't get songs like these often.
I heard many years ago that Paul was inspired to write “Here, There and Everywhere” after he heard “God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys. Makes sense to me.
Just that one line "Watching Her Eyes, hoping I'm Aways There" was a great line by Aspinall. I am just now learning that he thought it of it. The harmony with Paul's voice going high and John's low is brilliant in that song.
An incredible melody, lyric and vocal. No better voice than Paul. (Well John and George were amazing too) Put them all together and incredible harmonies. No one will ever top the Beatles. What an incredible 10 yrs they had together. Thank you!
I think anybody including myself who critiques Paul for being sentimental is just jealous because it is SO much easier to write an angry or sad song, than it is to sing a sentimental song. By the time of the Beatles the shit had been done. It’s immensely difficult to write a lovey type song without being cheesy or cliche. That’s why he sticks with it…nobody else can do it as easily or as well as he consistently can.
The get back session film with him literally piecing together an iconic song on the piano was just stunning. La de da, hey what if I did this? Ooh nice. And….voila.
That’s why I love Paul. He can sell the sweet/sentimental songs so well because his voice was perfect for them. His old voice can’t do the sweet songs anymore but I will always cherish the recordings. Another song only Paul could pull off was “So Bad” which was another of his most beautiful songs, imo.
Art Garfunkel (Simon & Garfunkel): "Because as a romantic balladeer myself I always thought this was the sweetest and most lyrical of all The Beatles songs, it's 'Here, There and Everywhere.'"
I read long ago that Here, There and Everywhere has a similar structure to If I Fell. Now whether this was a coincidence or on purpose who know. Beautiful song & imo McCartney’s best.
I LOVE your videos in spite of my NYer cynicism. This was a special one about a super special song. I remember getting the revolver album on cassette along with a Panasonic cassette player as birthday presents from my parents in the summer of 1971 when I turned eleven . It was my second album. I'd gotten the please please me LP exactly one year earlier from a neighbor. I had precocious musical taste. I still remember playing for no one and here there and everywhere over and over again 😊
One very lovely fact is that everybody loved Ringo right from the start! I think it is reflected from the scene where the Beatles are kickin it in their hotel room and a huge bag of fan mail arrived for John, Paul, and George! Then bag after bag after bag after bag arrived for Ringo Starr! I know it was meant for laughs yet Ringo was incredibly popular! Sorry I meant to say the scene was from A Hard Day's Night!
'Yesterday' is considered to be Paul's best. But this song was much more inspired and complex. The lyrics had to be just right. Consider: Yesterday all my troubles seem so far away Now it looks as if they're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday. Nothing special about those lyrics at all. What does it even mean to say I believe in yesterday when I had no troubles? What does 'belief' have to do with it? Here, making each day of the year Changing my life with a wave of her hand Nobody can deny that there's something there. And then the next line starts with the ending word from the previous verse ... There, running my hands through her hair. It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. And the lyrics go perfectly with the melody. This song is on the same level lyrically as John's "Across the Universe."
Incredible man, I really dig these video projects! Could do a little thing where you add a tag and say what other bands and people's songs where going on during the time of the Song you're referring.... Just so we can get a real comparison of the quality and timelessness of TheBeatles amazing work.
I truly appreciate and love your videos, I sometimes cringe at my love for the Beatles but it’s nice to be reminded that there is a community and channel that admire them as much if not more than I do, thank you, please keep the videos and your music coming I enjoy it all!
Here,There and Everywhere is a great song and you also slipped in the TARDIS. I think when I get to be Paul's age I'll be mis-remembering too. You know your stuff.
Fantastic video. This was the first time I have ever seen any of your videos and your takes are spot on. I’ve always seen The Beatles as a very philosophical band not only in their music but in their style, aura and the way they captivated culture beyond just being pop musicians. I’m very exciting and looking forward to checking out your other videos. I’m glad to have found your channel and have now subscribed. Peace to you.
Hey man I love your videos so much. I'd love to hear you talk about some of the songs they did from the anthology like my favorite Paul song That Means Alot.
the rutles was ace,my brother has been called stig since the 70"s as we had a beatles copy band from 1975 (i had hands that didant open and was only age11 at the start_)
Oh, the shot in No.4 is when they came to Japan in June 1966. Paul and Mal sneaked out of thier hotel and took a walk around Imperial Palace in Tokyo!!
One of my favourite songs of all time. However, it has a special meaning for me beyond just being a great song. At one of my first band’s gigs in 1966, we played at a high school fall “Kickoff” dance. Our repertoire consisted of the standard up-tempo rockers and current radio hits for dancing as well as quieter, more romantic stuff for slow dancing and listening. Of course, we did lots of Beatles songs as many bands did then. We were especially favoured by our electric piano player who was a wonderful, knowledgeable musician who kept us on our theory toes. However, his talent was not solely on the piano, his voice was an exact clone of Paul McCartney’s. He was not just imitating Paul, his voice naturally sounded that way. So, one of our listening, slow dance songs was “Here, There, and Everywhere”. Four of the five of us were lead singers, so our harmony was very good (the best harmony comes from such). That song showed this ability off to good effect. However, our keyboard player’s lead vocal was uncannily spot on the Beatles’ recording. We thought that this was a good thing and that people like us and all for it. Well, it was… and it wasn’t. We did the song, every note on each instrument, and each voice as close to the record as we could make them. When we finished - silence. The large crowd had stopped dancing after a few bars and were just staring at us. We thought that this was because we were playing and singing it especially well, but no. Then we heard some shouting, “Stop pretending to play, you phonies! Shut the record off!”, and things like that. They were angry. They thought we had been lip-syncing. Well, this might have been a great compliment in another circumstance, but things were getting out of control. One of us, I don’t remember who, stepped forward on the stage and raised his hands and asked them to relax, telling them that it really was us singing and all. There were jeers of derision and disbelief as you might imagine. I had an idea. I went up my mic and asked, “Well, if we sing it without playing, right in front of you, will you believe that it was us and only us?” There were nods and sounds of agreement. We counted off and sang the song without playing and their mouths hung open. We stopped before the end and got a tremendous round of applause. The rest of the dance went rather well after that. We played “Here, There, and Everywhere” at other gigs after that, but always began it a cappella until the second verse.
who's your favorite beatle is a pointless question BUT......sometimes you got your favorite....then it changes, then it changes again. Right now I have a crush on Ringo : )
The Beatles to me & a million others they were the best band ever. Its funny to hear, that when they met George Martin, he was not impressed with them at all, he called them a Nowhere band mainly because they were a new sound to him. He then told them to bring in every song they had ever written & see how it goes & so they did, still not really impressed He wanted them to do-(How Do You Do It ) which later became a big hit for Gerry & The Pacemakers. The Beatles still insisted they wanted to do their own music, George then said do you have a song ready to go & they said yes, Love me Do, after hearing it, George then said "Can you speed it up.) & so they did the rest is Beatle History
The sensationalism of the Beatles has had the effect of desensitizing us to just how good they really were. Paul's sense of melody is a highly unusual, if not uniquely gifted talent.
I think sometimes about the fact that you refer too--that great as this song is, Paul has dozens of others just as great, or almost. I'll see in the paper (or online more likely) the obituary of someone who wrote and recorded a song or two that we all know and love. Then I think yes, but Paul McCartney wrote, or co-wrote, at least 20 songs that were better than that well-remembered classic, and another 20 or 30 that were just as good, and another 100 that were almost as good. Paul is the furthest thing from "underrated," but we're so familiar with the fruits of his genius that we sometime lose sight of how lucky we all are to have lived in the same era as Paul McCartney.
I can't tell you how appreciative of the work you do for this channel. I have loved this channel's dive into the Beatles and I only wish you might sneak in a Paul Simon video (hint hint)
Funny thing is many people who aren't full on fans have never heard HTandE. It's a very telling point that the Beatles did not need to release this song as a single.
This and if I fell to this day the most moving songs I've ever heard in my entire life. If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true and help me understand cuz I've been in love before and I found that love was more than just holding hands. Oh my God that I learn
What is less known is that Paul had considered offering the tune to somebody else. The Beatles and The Shadows shared Abbey Road Studios and indeed got to know each other before The Beatles became famous, this would be in 1962. Later, maybe in 65 or 66, Paul walked in on a Shadows recording and played this tune, I think on the piano, to Hank Marvin and suggested it to him and The Shadows. Hank says he heard nothing more about it until it came out on Revolver as a song and not instrumental. It does seem likely that John liked it so much that Paul decided to keep it for himself. No noses were put out of joint. Later Hank would play it as an instrumental on the "Guitar Man" solo album. th-cam.com/video/TH8QTsE2StM/w-d-xo.html
Paul also wrote Michelle being inspired by French singer Richard Anthony who was recording in the other studio and his girlfriend would call every evening from France, Paul wanted to give Anthony his song Michelle, saying it would be cute to sing it with a French accent but Anthony declined telling Paul he should sing it (this was from a radio interview from Anthony I heard a few years ago)
I didn’t know this! And to be honest nobody sings this song as well as a young Paul McCartney-which includes middle aged/old Paul McCartney, lol. That tender sweet vocal really sells it perfectly!

Another fun fact related to this song is that Frank Ocean in his song, White Ferrari samples it! He also cited the Beatles as a massive influence while making the Blonde album
He sampled 'flying' from Magical Mystery tour, Here there and everywhere was inspiration for Frank he didn't sampled it
Fun fact: White Ferrari has the credits of Lennon/McCartney

Most Beatles music sounds like it was always here.
'Yesterday' is considered to be Paul's best. But this song was much more inspired and complex. The lyrics had to be just right. Consider:
Yesterday all my troubles seem so far away
Now it looks as if they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Nothing special about those lyrics at all. What does it even mean to say I believe in yesterday when I had no troubles? What does 'belief' have to do with it?
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there.
And then the next line starts with the ending word from the previous verse ... There, running my hands through her hair.
It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. And the lyrics go perfectly with the melody. This song is on the same level lyrically as John's "Across the Universe."
This was a great video! Can’t wait to see more!
Incredible man, I really dig these video projects! Could do a little thing where you add a tag and say what other bands and people's songs where going on during the time of the Song you're referring.... Just so we can get a real comparison of the quality and timelessness of TheBeatles amazing work.
I truly appreciate and love your videos, I sometimes cringe at my love for the Beatles but it’s nice to be reminded that there is a community and channel that admire them as much if not more than I do, thank you, please keep the videos and your music coming I enjoy it all!
There's plenty of us.
Here,There and Everywhere is a great song and you also slipped in the TARDIS. I think when I get to be Paul's age I'll be mis-remembering too. You know your stuff.
Fantastic video. This was the first time I have ever seen any of your videos and your takes are spot on. I’ve always seen The Beatles as a very philosophical band not only in their music but in their style, aura and the way they captivated culture beyond just being pop musicians. I’m very exciting and looking forward to checking out your other videos. I’m glad to have found your channel and have now subscribed. Peace to you.
Hey man I love your videos so much. I'd love to hear you talk about some of the songs they did from the anthology like my favorite Paul song That Means Alot.
Excellent choice of Clair de Lune for the ending. I think it perfectly suits your message.
"everyone else is playing for the second" man.. I love you!
Please do I’m Only Sleeping !!!
Lying there and staring @the ceiling-Waiting for a sleeply feeling!!!!!!! Love that! We are all human & have the same thoughts
Really good video about one of their prettiest songs!
love your videos! Keep up the good work ❤️
Thank You for Your Speak About Paul ❤️🎶
Here, There, and Everywhere will forever be linked to a gal I knew a long time ago.
Paul is very good at telling a story......
Easily one of the favourites. Cheers Hollyhobs!!
Can you make a video on Glass Onion?
Or maybe The Rutles (parody band of The Beatles)
Lol
Maybe on the anniversary of Ron Lennons, the Rutle that lives in New York, death. RIP Neil.
the rutles was ace,my brother has been called stig since the 70"s as we had a beatles copy band from 1975 (i had hands that didant open and was only age11 at the start_)
John said in his playboy interview that it was one of his favorite Beatles songs
Awe They Wrote FAB Love Songs
♥️♥️🌟🌟♥️♥️🎸🎸
My hat is off to you sir. This is one of your best videos. Quite informative and entertaining. Thank you for what you do.
Oh, the shot in No.4 is when they came to Japan in June 1966. Paul and Mal sneaked out of thier hotel and took a walk around Imperial Palace in Tokyo!!
One of my favourite songs of all time. However, it has a special meaning for me beyond just being a great song.
At one of my first band’s gigs in 1966, we played at a high school fall “Kickoff” dance. Our repertoire consisted of the standard up-tempo rockers and current radio hits for dancing as well as quieter, more romantic stuff for slow dancing and listening. Of course, we did lots of Beatles songs as many bands did then.
We were especially favoured by our electric piano player who was a wonderful, knowledgeable musician who kept us on our theory toes. However, his talent was not solely on the piano, his voice was an exact clone of Paul McCartney’s. He was not just imitating Paul, his voice naturally sounded that way.
So, one of our listening, slow dance songs was “Here, There, and Everywhere”. Four of the five of us were lead singers, so our harmony was very good (the best harmony comes from such). That song showed this ability off to good effect. However, our keyboard player’s lead vocal was uncannily spot on the Beatles’ recording.
We thought that this was a good thing and that people like us and all for it. Well, it was… and it wasn’t.
We did the song, every note on each instrument, and each voice as close to the record as we could make them. When we finished - silence. The large crowd had stopped dancing after a few bars and were just staring at us. We thought that this was because we were playing and singing it especially well, but no.
Then we heard some shouting, “Stop pretending to play, you phonies! Shut the record off!”, and things like that. They were angry. They thought we had been lip-syncing. Well, this might have been a great compliment in another circumstance, but things were getting out of control.
One of us, I don’t remember who, stepped forward on the stage and raised his hands and asked them to relax, telling them that it really was us singing and all. There were jeers of derision and disbelief as you might imagine.
I had an idea. I went up my mic and asked, “Well, if we sing it without playing, right in front of you, will you believe that it was us and only us?” There were nods and sounds of agreement.
We counted off and sang the song without playing and their mouths hung open. We stopped before the end and got a tremendous round of applause. The rest of the dance went rather well after that.
We played “Here, There, and Everywhere” at other gigs after that, but always began it a cappella until the second verse.
Knowing that Here, There and Everywhere was inspired by Pet Sounds makes me so happy!
I love how your sense of humor is starting to come through in these videos lmaoooo, it’s stupid like mine and I think it’s amazing
@Luke fuck yeah bro
About Ringo... Paul may have written great songs but without Ringo they wouldn't sound so perfect.
Superb! Thank you for all that you share. :)
i'll have to check this one out, i've never heard it
who's your favorite beatle is a pointless question BUT......sometimes you got your favorite....then it changes, then it changes again. Right now I have a crush on Ringo : )
Really? Interesting. Because It was never case with me. My favorite was George Harrison from the Beginning.
What's your favorite Ringo song?
@@halloweenjack95 starr's own 'it don't come easy'
you are very correct, THE BEATLES ARE THE BEST AND EVERYONE ELSE IS SECOND. YOU TRULY NAILED IT THERE. KUDOS MAN.
The Beatles to me & a million others they were the best band ever. Its funny to hear, that when they met George Martin, he was not impressed with them at all, he called them a Nowhere band mainly because they were a new sound to him. He then told them to bring in every song they had ever written & see how it goes & so they did, still not really impressed
He wanted them to do-(How Do You Do It ) which later became a big hit for Gerry & The Pacemakers. The Beatles still insisted they wanted to do their own music, George then said do you have a song ready to go & they said yes, Love me Do, after hearing it, George then said
"Can you speed it up.) & so they did the rest is Beatle History
You're video are the best !
Thank you for the message you have left for all of us☻♣
Another great video. Thanks
Great vid. Thanks.
Have a look at Shakespeare' sonnets for structure, question, proposition- conclusion?
The sensationalism of the Beatles has had the effect of desensitizing us to just how good they really were. Paul's sense of melody is a highly unusual, if not uniquely gifted talent.
I think sometimes about the fact that you refer too--that great as this song is, Paul has dozens of others just as great, or almost. I'll see in the paper (or online more likely) the obituary of someone who wrote and recorded a song or two that we all know and love. Then I think yes, but Paul McCartney wrote, or co-wrote, at least 20 songs that were better than that well-remembered classic, and another 20 or 30 that were just as good, and another 100 that were almost as good. Paul is the furthest thing from "underrated," but we're so familiar with the fruits of his genius that we sometime lose sight of how lucky we all are to have lived in the same era as Paul McCartney.
GREAT VIDEO! YOU'RE THE BEE'S KNEES! ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS! ALSO LOVIN THAT RECORD YOU PUT OUT LAST YEAR!
I can't tell you how appreciative of the work you do for this channel. I have loved this channel's dive into the Beatles and I only wish you might sneak in a Paul Simon video (hint hint)
I do a solo act of Beatles songs and the whole audience always sings along to every Ringo song.
Ringo always had the most singalong-friendly songs!
This song has a beginning, a middle and an end.........amazing
I ❤ this channel very much
Great video
Funny thing is many people who aren't full on fans have never heard HTandE. It's a very telling point that the Beatles did not need to release this song as a single.
My Trinidadian-Toboggan brotha, great analysis of this cool tune, brah!!!
This and if I fell to this day the most moving songs I've ever heard in my entire life. If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true and help me understand cuz I've been in love before and I found that love was more than just holding hands. Oh my God that I learn
Perfect timing once again!
I always loved that Song...
What is less known is that Paul had considered offering the tune to somebody else. The Beatles and The Shadows shared Abbey Road Studios and indeed got to know each other before The Beatles became famous, this would be in 1962. Later, maybe in 65 or 66, Paul walked in on a Shadows recording and played this tune, I think on the piano, to Hank Marvin and suggested it to him and The Shadows. Hank says he heard nothing more about it until it came out on Revolver as a song and not instrumental. It does seem likely that John liked it so much that Paul decided to keep it for himself. No noses were put out of joint. Later Hank would play it as an instrumental on the "Guitar Man" solo album.

Paul also wrote Michelle being inspired by French singer Richard Anthony who was recording in the other studio and his girlfriend would call every evening from France, Paul wanted to give Anthony his song Michelle, saying it would be cute to sing it with a French accent but Anthony declined telling Paul he should sing it (this was from a radio interview from Anthony I heard a few years ago)
I didn’t know this! And to be honest nobody sings this song as well as a young Paul McCartney-which includes middle aged/old Paul McCartney, lol. That tender sweet vocal really sells it perfectly!
