David PannellHOST
If Paul did play Auntie Gin's theme at family get-togethers, that suggests that the music may have been first composed prior to 1963 because once the Beatles got big in 1963, Paul made it to very few family events for a few years.
David PannellHOST
On the other hand, in his authorized biography of Paul, Barry Miles says that the song was written in the music room at Jane Asher's parents' house on Wimpole Street in London.
David PannellHOST
If that's true, it could not have been written earlier than 1963 because he wouldn't have been living at Wimpole Street.
David PannellHOST
Apparently, Auntie Gin heard it without words, so perhaps Paul started writing the music at some earlier time and wrote the words at Jane's house, probably in May-June 1965.
DaveHOST
Yeah, we have a quote about it.
ChrisHOST
Here's one from Ask Me Why from Paul McCartney, many years from now, Barry Miles, the book.
DaveHOST
It
ChrisHOST
was John's original idea, and we both sat down and wrote it together.
Aaron ConnHOST
George's love for the eastern side of things was blooming, as well as his love for his wife Patty Boyd, which he would write another song about three years later with Something.
Aaron ConnHOST
love you too not one of my i wouldn't say it's one of my favorites but it is a definitely a deep track from the album and it is a very well written song let me go into here there and everywhere a love song from paul mccartney follows and this is a good one paul started writing this song while at john's house in weybridge from the beatles bible which takes its source from the many years from now book by barry miles Paul said the following, Now, Paul claims to have heard a demo version of the song completed in March of 1965, as he and John had heard it together while the band were filming the Help movie.
Aaron ConnHOST
From the anthology book, Paul says the following, John and I shared a room and we were taking off our heavy ski boots after a day's filming, ready to have a shower and get ready for the nice bit, the evening meal and the drinks.
Aaron ConnHOST
We were playing a cassette of our new recordings and my song, Here, There and Everywhere was on.
30 MINS LATER
Aaron ConnHOST
The last song from the album is actually the first song that was written and recorded for the album.
Aaron ConnHOST
It's crazy that the most experimental piece on the album ended up being the first one recorded.
Aaron ConnHOST
As to how this song came to be, I'm going to give a version of this that was written in the Many Years From Now book by Barry Miles.
Aaron ConnHOST
But the way it was written is very confusing because Barry Miles is basically referring to himself in the third person and saying that Barry Miles did this, Barry Miles did that.
ZachHOST
But yeah, no, I think that Light in August by William Faulkner changed my life for sure.
ZachHOST
I would say that the William Burroughs biography by Barry Miles called William Burroughs' Life changed my life as well because it was kind of interesting.
ZachHOST
Because we think about things in such a fast-paced format today.
ZachHOST
We say, oh, I'm 27, why am I not a world-emphatic icon yet, right? We say that.
Peter AsherGUEST
You know, in retrospect, I wish I'd taken more advantage of it, you know, because I didn't really get to know William Burroughs at all, or Alan Ginsberg for that matter, though.
Peter AsherGUEST
Miles got to know him very much.
Peter AsherGUEST
But I just took it for granted.
Peter AsherGUEST
These were Miles's friends and he was bringing them by the bookshop.
Peter AsherGUEST
And then by the time I got to read the books and...
Peter AsherGUEST
And I recited Howl, Alan Ginsberg's Howl, in the school poetry reading competition, which caused considerable consternation.
