Am I the only one to notice that this song sounds quite decidedly like a George Harrison song; updated only slightly it could have fit right in on All Things Will Pass. I know it’s attributed to Paul (and John obviously didn’t write it), and some parts of it don’t much sound like George. But that main part, with the chords (let’s pretend the first is C since I am not sure of its actual key) go C major, E minor, E-flat major, F minor, C major, A-flat major, G major, C major – that progression is just so absolutely George!

It’s interesting that it was actually Paul who wanted the jazzy brass sound in Cilla Black’s Lennon-McCartney covers. I think they’d have sounded a lot better with the guitar/bass/drums combo rather than the over the top versions that ended up being released. Ah well.

I totally agree with you its Lennon-McCartneys worst effort and I’m not surprised the Beatles own version was not released. Its For You was a vastly better song. Sorry this one gets the MISS hooter.

Just found out that Cilla Black passed away. I’m from the younger generation so I don’t know anything about her, but I understand how she was a good friend of the boys.

The song is crap!!! That’s why it’s never been released. It’s a McCartney throwaway. Average at best. That’s why Lennon would give it away as well.

I really don’t understand why it’s not on Anthology or not relased on another way. I think it sounds not so bad.

Why doesn’t Paul like this song?! Sooo underrated, I agree w Cilla, great tune, showing the Beatles’ sophisticated songwriting, even from the very start. They were so clever, writing chord progressions nobody else was at the time. In that light its amazing how old the song is. Only the “middle eight” (I call it a bridge) is a bit of a let down, but even it is saved by the great transition back into the verse
