Peter Asher's sister (the actress Jane Asher) was dating Paul McCartney (of The Beatles), and so Peter & Gordon recorded several songs written by McCartney, with or without John Lennon. Hits included "Nobody I Know", "True Love Ways" (Buddy Holly), "I Go To Pieces" (Del Shannon) who decided not to record the song himself, and "I Don't Want To See You Again". Their melodic hit "Woman" was written by "Bernard Webb," who was really Paul McCartney. "Woman" was credited to an alias of the title Bernard Webb, which Lennon/McCartney used to see if the song would gain success without their reputation. They had their last hits in 1967 with "Lady Godiva" and "Sunday for Tea".

Asher has continued his career as a recording executive in California and has managed and produced Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Cher, 10,000 Maniacs and more.

In April 2006, Peter and Gordon reunited onstage for the first time in 39 years, outside New York City. Paul McCartney heard about the reunion shows, and sent a message to them congratulating them for deciding to reunite.

Gordon Waller went into cardiac arrest on the evening of July 16, 2009 and died early in the morning of July 17, 2009 at a hospital near his home in Ledyard, Connecticut.

Somewhere
Peter & Gordon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare

Time to learn, time to care

Someday
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Oh, we'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow

Someday
Somewhere

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peter and Gordon's "Somewhere" speak of hope for a better future. The opening line, "Someday, somewhere," sets the tone for a dreamlike state of mind, and the singers go on to describe a place where forgiveness and peace are possible. The repetition of the word "somewhere" emphasizes the elusive nature of this place, but the fact that the singers believe it exists shows their optimism.

The second verse speaks of time and the opportunities it brings. There will be time for the singer and his loved one to be together and to care for each other. The chorus repeats the idea that there is a place and a time for them, and if they hold hands, they can find it together.

The song is an expression of the human desire for a better life and a hope for forgiveness and peace. It speaks to our innate belief that things can get better and that we can find a better place, even if we don't know where it is.
