"I'm Looking Through You" is a Lennon/McCartney song, written mainly by Paul McCartney, that first appeared on The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul.

It was written about Jane Asher, McCartney's girlfriend of five years,[1] "You don't look different, but you have changed," the lyrics declare, reflecting his dissatisfaction with their relationship.
The Beatles recorded three versions of the song in October and November 1965. The original version recorded on 24 October was slower than the released version, had a significantly different rhythm, and lacked the "Why, tell me why..." middle eight of the final version.[2][3] It was eventually released in 1996 on the Anthology 2 compilation.[4] The final version was recorded on 10 November with overdubs on 11 November and is the version included on Rubber Soul.[5]

The stereo US version of the song contains a false guitar start.

At 1:18 on the remastered mono version, feedback can be heard.

If the mono version of this song on the 2006 box set The Capitol Albums, Volume 2 has this false guitar start, it indicates that it is from the first pressing of this set which erroneously substituted incorrect mono mixes; they were simply the channels of the stereo versions combined, rather than the original mono mixes.

The album sleeve and other sources indicate that Ringo Starr played Hammond organ on this track,[2] an unusual instrument for the Beatle drummer. Mark Lewisohn reported that he could not hear the organ and that Hammond organ was not listed on the session tape box.[5] Starr plays quick two-note vamps in the choruses.[6]

  • I just love this song - I listen to it every time I get an MRI or CT scan. ;-)

    Thanks for putting this video together -- although I will say it cracks me up to hear them singing one song and watching them (soundlessly) singing another -- goes right along with the "Your lips are moving, I cannot hear; Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear....."

  • @graced105 Haha, your right.

  • This is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are so . . . awesome.

    And I love 0:41-0:46 of A Hard Day's Night. Ah, John.

  • @Pepperz1WomanBand Haha! I love John! Thanks for the comment! :)

  • Proof that Paul can be every bit as bitter and spiteful as John. The ultimate breakup song..

  • Good choice on the clap, Ringo

  • Like this if you ever were cheated or lied to and you really didn't deserve it! Like this if the someone you loved mistreated you! Like this if feel that you loved people that you shouldn't have!

  • this song haunts me 40 years later-its downright weird

  • 'love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight', oh man did the Beatles teach me lessons before I had to know them, if only I listened!

  • This song is based on People with Disabilities who are different. Praise God he made me uniquely different than others.

  • OHMYGOSH JOHN WAS SO ADORABLE! HECK THEY ALL WERE <3
