Every Little Thing (Beatles)

McCartney wrote the song in a music room at the home of Jane Asher, where he was living at the time. He hoped that it would be released as a single, but it “didn’t have quite what was required”, and was released on Beatles for Sale instead.Every Little Thing” is a rare example of a Lennon/McCartney tune in which one member of the partnership was primary composer (here McCartney) but the other sang lead vocal (here John Lennon). McCartney sings harmony, although one can hear him better in the refrain. The song’s composer is not in question: McCartney claimed the song as described above, and Lennon said in an interview with Playboy that McCartney wrote it.Recording The released version was recorded by the Beatles in four takes at EMI Studios on 29 September 1964, and then five more on 30 September.

They were enjoying themselves on the second night, take six was aborted due to McCartney burping his vocals, and take seven was finished but ended in loud laughter.

This appeared for the first time on the ninth take, along with a guitar intro and piano piece.Reviews Music critic Ian MacDonald praised the song’s “emotional depth” and used this song and others as counter-arguments to the caricature of McCartney as an emotional lightweight.
