Here, There And Everywhere

Happenings · Other Songs - Happenings

To lead a better life

I need my love to be here

Here, making each day of the year

Changing my life with a wave of her hand

Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair

Both of us thinking how good it can be

Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there

[Chorus: x2]

I want her everywhere

And if she's beside me I know I need never care

But to love her is to need her everywhere

Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies

Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I will be there

And everywhere

Here, there and everywhere

Here, There And Everywhere - Happenings

Happenings, the American rock band formed in the late 1960s, delivered a distinctive take on The Beatles' 1966 hit 'Here, There And Everywhere.' While the original recording is widely recognized for its melancholic melody and John Lennon's lyrics, Happenings' version recontextualized the song within the garage rock and psychedelic rock genres of the era. Their arrangement features a driving rhythm section and a vocal delivery that emphasizes the raw energy characteristic of their discography. Released as a standalone single without a traditional album backing, the track stands as a notable example of how independent bands of the time interpreted and revitalized popular songwriting. The recording remains a significant song in Happenings' catalog, showcasing their ability to capture the spirit of mid-1960s pop while maintaining their unique sonic identity.
