Ending on the half cadence is so incredibly perfect for this song. What really sets all the beatles songs apart are their extreme attention to the subtleties in music.
@vitorum100 I like your comment. He´s only comparable with the most talented classical musicians like Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, Strauss, Bach etc. Paul wrote this song in Switzerland for his girl friend Jane Asher in the period hey broke up. I think Jane found him with another girl. Negative votes must be just wrong button mistaked. No one in world could dislike any Paul´s song.
@flexibartr sure! but that´s why I added the "etc". You´re right, there are some other very good ones, but in my modest opinion, they are are not so many.
@musicseverything Right. My comment was meant to make some hardcore beatlemaniacs (as I am one) google some other composer names and listen to some other kinds of music. (Beatlemaniacs have very trained ears due to George Martin.) It's a pity that all the lists like of "Most Influential Musicians of All Times" are either restrained on pop/rock/jazz or on from-Perotin-to-Schönberg. We should open our minds because music itself doesn't know these borders.
I red in the anthology book that Paul and Martin wrote the solo with a F note, just a halftone above the instrument registe, on purpose. Civil could play it anyway without complaining.
But he really got angry when Mccartney suggest him to make another take
Mccartney hummed the solo to George Martin while he notated it. Alan Civil played exactly what Paul wanted, just like the rest of the Beatles always did. Look it up.
@domine3 Oh yes, that´s exactly what i feel. Paul was the leader, for no to say "the boss". The other 3 were very good too but Paul was in command, the head of the group. But of course, that was a natural consequence of his talent, character, charisma, dedication, determination, hard working and amazing geniality. I love The Beatles and will always do, but Paul is above all, a star that will shine forever
The solo was written by the horn player, Alan Civil, who says: "Paul said 'We want something there. Can you play something that fits in?'… I made something up which was middle register, a baroque style solo."
A fabulous song from one of the great Beatle albums made Revolver. But a horrible movie was Give My Regards to Broadstreet. I wish Paul would finally get around and release Let It Be on DVD or Blu-Ray
@asdfkie Disagreed, Some things we shouldn't touch. If it is good like this, keep it like this. I don't like these ppl that only hears a song if it's new.
@GUILMON44 disagreed. some things we need to touch. i don't hear a song only if its new, in fact nowadays i hear a song only if its old lol. I love oldies but this one needs a revamp.
awww common guys...they were awesome together...they each brought equal to the page of notes for music!!! John had the fire of words....Paul had the melodies that play in our heads!!
To say that John Lennon is overrated shows how unsightful you seem to be, so much so it's a shame, and no matter what you say to me or to others, you'd be in the minority on that opinion.
@chicagolegend Listen to the early Beatle's music ( i.e. through 1965 ),... mostly Lennon. McCartney was / is great in his own right....but in all my readings of the Beatles, McCartney admits that the only person's opinion he cared about was Lennon. Growing up with the Beatles, it is somewhat hard for me to dissect them individually. Clearly, McC was more prolific post Beatles; then again, he has outlived Lennon by 30 years.
@mattjackleroy Uh. Yesterday (most covered song), I'm looking Through you, I'll follow the Sun, We can work it out (Paul's bits) Things we said today, And I love her... The early songs were more about melody, which Paul was clearly better at making. Yoko said John would stay up at night wondering why people liked Pauls stuff more than his.. Wonder why? And compare their solo careers 1970 - 1980 and Paul was clearly better. Also, everyone will agree Paul is the superior musician (guitar, piano)
@chicagolegend@chicagolegend It all comes down to personal preference. I prefer to just listen to the music. Having seen Lennon live on stage, nothing has ever come close for me from all my avid concert going years...not The Who or Stones or Led Zep or any of them. Lennon was the real deal. Happy holidays. Marc
They have in common a work of JS Bach " Air on The G String", which was composed c. 1717-1723 and the main feature is based in the form of "walking bass" doing so through the melody.......D-C#-B-A-G-F#-E-A- and so on....
Does anybody else have another pop song in mind ? must be a couple of others...

for those of us in love with a woman that doesnt love us and yet we are there for her knowing her love is death leaving her heart broken and leaving us wanting and needing her, leaving our heart breaking.
I think that's Jeff Bryant on the horn solo (on the original it was Alan Civil). Coming in note-perfect on such a high solo while appearing to have just walked in without warming up is doubtless a bit of horn-player's humour (this is from a film). It looks like he's using an F-descant horn. Civil probably recorded it on a B-flat single and managed to make the high notes sing a bit more. Still, it's a difficult solo in a rotten key for the instrument; hats off to anyone who can do it on any horn.
@LinkThatLove the movie "Give My Regards to Broadstreet" a great soundtrack. "No more lonely nights" several Beatles songs, including a nice version of "The Long and Winding Road" Worth checking out if you like the Beatles.
This video was from the movie Give My Regards to Broadstreet. Came out in the 80s at some point. Was the same time the song No More Lonely Nights came out.
it was for Jane Asher, his then fiancee. They were having troubles, arguing all the time etc, and one day McCartney composed this, it's all about heart break. Beautiful song, gotta love McCartney :)
@LarksSaviour900 Lots of guys have troubles with girls; a million musicians wrote songs about it. But McCartney wrote *this*. "For No One" puts his heartbreak into everyone who hears it. That's what separates him from the rest of us.
This song was originally on the Beatles' album "Revolver", not "Rubber Soul". This is not a clip from 1966, but from the McCartney made movie "Give My Regards to Broadstreet" in 1984. The original song has the piano playing the part that the strings are playing on this version. The French horn solo part remains the same.
I've been a fan for > 45 years- from the Beatles, to present.
I've heard his voice on vinyl- 45's, and LP's, cassettes, 8-tracks, CD's, on the radio- both AM, and later, FM. I've seen him in movies, on television- from B&W, to color, on the internet, in mono, hi-fi, stereo, surround, remastered by the cirq show "Love", and was fortunate enough to have seen/heard him live in concert-
There is no one remotely like him, and this IS, without a doubt, Sir James Paul McCartney, AND his voice.
Thank you...
