I agree with anadina on this one, for all the reasons that anadina listed in her interpretation of "Martha My Dear." Paul's sheepdog's name was indeed Martha, but I don't believe he wrote such a sweet, melancholy sounding melody about a dog! No. I believe this song was about Jane Asher too. Paul had written many songs about Jane when they were a couple. "Here, There and Everywhere" was one of them. Jane had broken up with Paul when she found him with another woman.
