HEAR DAVID GILMOUR's "HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE"

"I really wish I had been in the Beatles," Pink Floyd guitarist reveals for "Here, There and Everywhere" release

David Gilmour has shared his tender, sweeping rendition of the Beatles ballad "Here, There and Everywhere." The Revolver cover, which Gilmour recorded with his son Joe, will be released as part of Mojo magazine's David Gilmour & Friends compilation. The comp will collect Gilmour's collaborations with artists like the Orb, Phil Manzanera and Robert Wyatt, but the track will not appear on the guitarist's upcoming solo LP Rattle That Lock, due out September 18th. 

In his interview with Mojo, Gilmour talked about the impact the Beatles had on him as a musician. "I really wish I had been in the Beatles," Gilmour said. "[They] taught me how to play guitar; I learnt everything. The bass parts, the lead, the rhythm, everything. They were fantastic." (Coincidentally, when Gilmour spoke to Rolling Stone recently about the end of Pink Floyd, he alluded to a George Harrison song: "All things must pass.")

Gilmour sent them his cover of the Revolver classic two years ago, and after some convincing, he finally allowed the magazine to release the track. While the rocker remains mostly faithful to the Beatles version, his take contains a majestic guitar solo that is trademark Gilmour.
