On Saturday (June 18), Paul McCartney, one of the most influential musicians on earth, celebrated his 80th cradle party. In addition to many friends and companions, Sean Ono Lennon also mingled with the well-wishers. The youngest son of McCartney’s congenial songwriting partner John Lennon combined his congratulations with the cover of the Beatles piece “Here, There And Everywhere”.
“You have my infinite love”
“A little bird told me that this is one of your favorite Beatles songs. So Happy Birthday!” said the 46-year-old in the video addressed to the jubilee. He continued, “Thank you for all the beautiful music. You have mine and the infinite love and respect of the whole world. (This version is a bit bumpy because the song is so beautiful I kept getting stuck and starting over!)”.
One of John & Paul’s showpieces
The song selection makes sense in many ways: Paul McCartney wrote the Beach Boys-inspired song while relaxing at John Lennon’s swimming pool in Weybridge, southeast England. In his biography “Many Years from Now” the singer described it as one of his “favorite pieces”. Speaking of its creation, he said: “I was sitting by the pool on one of the lounge chairs with my guitar and I started banging out in E and pretty soon I had some chords and I think when he[JohnLennoned)wokeupIhadprettymuchwrittenthesongsowetookitinsideandfinishedit”Lennonalsoincluded“HereThereAndEverywhere”amonghisfavoritesinaninterviewwithPlayboy
