JAKARTA - Knowing Paul McCartney's favorite song from The Beatles is certainly very interesting. The reason is, the band from Liverpool, England has hundreds of famous songs that are still being listened to across generations today.

During a recent interview with iHeartPodcast, Paul McCartney said 'Here, There and Everywhere' from the album Revolver (1966) was his favorite song.

Paul called the song that Mojo named the fourth best song of all time inspired by multitalented actor from the United States, Fred Alame.

"I am a big fan of Fred Alame, and until now I am still like that," said Paul McCartney.

"And unlike the studio executives, who thought he could dance a little bit, it turned out he didn't have a voice. I always liked his voice, until now I still like him," he continued.

Furthermore, Paul McCartney told how he wrote the song one day while waiting for John Lennon to wake up from his sleep at that time.

"I went to his (John's) house for a writing session, and he didn't always wake up. So, I often have 20 minutes to half an hour while someone tells him I'm here, and he's going to wake up," Paul said.

I remember sitting by the pool at his home on Weybridge, which is a golf area on the outskirts of London. I was with my guitar because I was ready for the writing session. So we sat down and started something," he continued.

"It went quite well and smoothly. So, when I came to write with John, when he woke up and finished his coffee, I already had something."

However, Paul McCartney said he was not completely convinced of the direction of the song's lyrics when written with John Lennon.

"When you get lyrics like this, the purpose of the lyrics is to support the song, not just the lyrics," said Paul McCartney.

"You can experiment while walking. So, everything will come out like during a session with a psychiatrist. Basically, I always say when I write songs, I follow in the footsteps of a bread shower. Someone throws away the bread, and I see some, and just follow them straight away. And I feel like I'm following the song rather than writing it."
