"Every Little Thing" is a love song written by Paul, but primarily sung by John, a rarity in the Beatles' repertoire (another example, with the roles reversed, is "Day Tripper"). Paul wrote the song while living at his girlfriend Jane Asher's house, so the song is most likely about her. He'd wanted it to be a single, but evidently the tune "didn't have quite what was required".
I like this one; Ringo's timpani-playing adds some real depth and a unique sound. Apparently the boys had a great deal of fun recording this song, nevermind its "depth". Recording it took them two days, and according to Wikipedia, "The Beatles were enjoying themselves on the second night; take six was aborted due to McCartney burping his vocals, and take seven was finished but ended in loud laughter." I would have liked to hear those takes, for sure. :P
That's all for today... See you tomorrow. :)
