I strongly disagree, I think things can be over analyzed and that song keeps my feet moving and I think once again Paul’s bass lines and singing are extremely enjoyable. As always, I can find the beauty and magic in every Beatles song I have ever heard!

Back in the 60s in Manila, I’m just a 4 or 5 year old kid when I learned to play or spin 45 singles on a phonograph turntable.

We have this She’s A Woman/I Feel Fine single together with
Can’t Buy Me Love/You Can’t Do That,
Day Tripper/ We Can Work It Out 45s & play on rotation all day listening to it with my sisters. We enjoyed & got so familiarized with Paul’s screaming voice.

I always dug this one. Paul sings it thru the roof and John lays the solid foundation. Wonderful stuff. Beatle magic.

To me ‘I Feel Fine’ is just another plain pop-song, while ‘She’s a Woman’ is a great rocker number

I read in the anthology I believe that Paul wrote this about weed! How clever lol

This song was so much better live! I love George’s fills on the verse, they should have done it like that on the single instead of the piano imo. NME 65 might be the best she’s a woman but hollywood bowl is close

ABSOLUTELY!
Paul rocks it and Johns accent on the beat is so cool .
yes slightly hmm on the word peasant but in the grand scheme of things and a million lyrics it’s ok to startle us and have us scratching our heads

Yes love the vibe and Paul just rocking it ! Wow really fantastic . I don’t get that people are trying to rip it apart ,
NOTHING is perfect and we all have things that resonate with us .
Paul’s voice on this and Johns off beat are amazing really super cool.
I love how Paul can really belt it out .

Did George not really play on the rhythm track? If so, poor George, but killer rhythm guitar by John. His rhythm guitar takes the spotlight on this, at least from the instrumental standpoint. If George didn’t participate on the rhythm track, it must have been the beginning of the period when Paul started to tell George what to play and what not to play on certain songs. It must have been very difficult for George to have to deal with that, but then again, it was also good that Paul knew how to stick to his guns so his songs were recorded the way he wanted them to be. Too bad they couldn’t find a happy medium. At least George was able to do a little bit more on this song than on “Hey Jude.” By the way, I’m not trying to knock Paul. He knew how remarkable a guitarist George was, otherwise he wouldn’t have let him play at all on his many songs of that period. They all had their imperfections.

“The Night Before” is in my opinion one of the better songs on ‘Help’ that, in my old age, I have come to enjoy more and more with repeated listening. It really seems to capture the mood of that era. But you are right about “Another Girl” as it seems to be a poor lead-up to “You’re going to lose that Girl”. Aside from some other questionable tracks on “Help” I am still puzzled by the inclusion of “Dizzy Miss Lizzy” cover with its annoyingly repetitive guitar riff.

Correction to my comment above – there was some bluesy Paul in ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ (and maybe some others) which was my favourite song at the time as a 8 year old and I still love it at 60.

Forget the lyrics – Its all about the vibe of the song. To me this was ground-breaking stuff in 1964 and a departure from the normal (albeit great) Beatles formula. The vocal displayed a bluesy side of Paul that we hadn’t heard before and it is so good it doesn’t need backing vocals. Not sure if I like the choppy guitar from John but love his bridge and the excellent guitar solo – I can hear two guitars – from George and or Paul?. ‘I feel fine’ is still one of my Beatles favourites but you can’t compare the two as they are so different. Give me Bluesy Paul any day over the melancholy ‘Yesterday’ which I never really warmed to.

agree 100% ! ! !
that missing chord is something I focus on, sometimes missing out on how great a track this song is. (yeah, I know, the ‘peasant’ line strains a little).

Never one of my favorites. Not much for melody, and the lyrics border on silly. Lennon’s guitar is the best part (the dicipline not to over-strum!), but thats not enough to carry it.

Come to think of it, that line ties nicely in with the A-side, I Feel Fine. In that song his woman is telling all the world that her baby buys her things, you know….

I think he’s not frustrated, but is amazed by his woman (maybe, pun intended). His woman doesn’t have to buy presents to be wanted, because she is no peasant, a crude person. She knows that love is all important and he loves her for that.

I’ve loved the song since I first heard it as a kid. I’m surprised no one mentioned its appearance in the movie Help!.
The song is heard being played on a tape recorder underground during the Salisbury Plain scene in the movie.
Fifty years later and I just learned the song isn’t on the Help! Album but was a single. I recorded the audio to the movie using my black and white TV, a microphone, and my compact cassette tape recorder. I listened many times. Of course, now I have the DVD.
I don’t agree with any of the criticisms. I think it’s among their best songs.
