10 Perfect Beatles Songs With No Flaws
10. Here There and Everywhere - Revolver
In the years leading up to Revolver, the Beatles were clearly a different band than the one we got to know with the moptops. After a few months of Beatlemania on the road, the Fabs had grown out of their innocent phase real quick and were starting to use the studio as a means to experiment with new sounds. That's not to say that they hadn't lost their touch with writing love songs though.
Looking at Here There and Everywhere, Paul crafts the perfect ode to adolescent romance into just 2 minutes, without any of the wild effects that they were known for at the time. You're not going to see any sitars or backwards sounds here, just carrying the entire tune with one lone electric guitar and the Beatles' three part harmonies leading the way behind Ringo's gentle pulse. Don't just take the word of some random guy on the Internet though. This McCartney tune actually got the seal of approval from the Beatles' harshest critic: John Lennon.
In going through the initial demos of their respective songs, John had mentioned to Paul that this song was miles better than anything that he had written around this time as well. That's just a testament to what Paul captured in that beginning stage. Even though this was the album where everything started to get a little bit bonkers, nothing can get in the way of a great song.
