TRY TAKING THE ALBUM TRACK BY TRACK AND COMMENTING ON EACH SONG. "I don't think anyone, unless I told them, would even notice, but we'd often do that, get something off an artist or artists that you really liked and have them in your mind while you were recording things, to give you the inspiration and give you the direction.nearly always, it ended up sounding more like us than them anyway." We had that in our minds during the introduction to 'Here, There and Everywhere.'
PAUL: "It's actually just the introduction that's influenced.John and I used to be interested in what the old fashioned writers used to call the verse, which we nowadays would call the intro.this whole preamble to a song, and I wanted to have one of those on the front of 'Here, There and Everywhere.' John and I were quite into those from the old-fashioned songs that used to have them, and in putting that on the front of 'Here, There and Everywhere,' we were doing harmonies, and the inspiration for that was the Beach Boys. ITS BEEN SAID THAT "HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE" WAS INFLUENCED BY THE BEACH BOYS. That I think was probably the big influence that set me thinking when we recorded Pepper, it set me off on a period I had then for a couple of years of nearly always writing quite melodic bass lines." And also putting melodies in the bass line. As I say, 'the G if you're in C-that kind of thing.
And I noticed that throughout that Brian would be using notes that weren't the obvious notes to use. "I don't really understand how it happens musically, because I'm not very technical musically. And you just get a completely different effect if you play a G when the band is playing in C. I'd done a little bit of work, like on 'Michelle,' where you don't use the obvious bass line. If you were in the key of C, you would normally use-the root note would be, like, a C on the bass (demonstrates vocally). "The other thing that really made me sit up and take notice was the bass lines on Pet Sounds. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life-I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album.
"It was was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water. PAUL: "The early surf records.I was aware of them as a musical act, and I used to like all that, but I didn't get deeply interested in it-it was just a real nice sound.We used to admire the singing, the high falsetto really and the very sort of 'California' lyrics. WHEN DID YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE BEACH BOYS?
