How The Beatles Made "I've Just Seen A Face"

[@beatlemaniac8527]

“I’ve Just Seen A Face” “I’m Down” “Yesterday”... Well that’s a whole love story right there!

[@vincentm614]

This is another overlooked gem in The Beatles cannon. They were so far ahead of everyone else in the 1960s with their songwriting abilities.

[@jacquescousteau217]

Far ahead of their time in the sixties is like saying Bach was ahead of his time in the 1700’s or Mozart of Beethoven in the 1800’s . Great music may have been written at any time ,and is not defined to just the period they composed in . It’s timeless …

[@Lily_The_Pink972]

No one else was doing what they were doing. Although there was other amazing music in the charts at the time, The Beatles stood out way above all the rest.

[@skysmindgarden]

This song just makes me heckin excited when I listen to it. Uncontrollably excited. I literally can't stop myself from making sudden movements and smiling ear to ear.

[@joetowers4804]

Imagine writing songs like that at ANY age.

[@thomasmiller1904]

I love how Paul describes it as pulling you forward since it such a dynamically structured meter. It's in trochaic octameter and each rhyming word of the couplets are accented by being left on unresolved feet at the end of the line. This gives the song its momentum. I imagine this scene as a young Paul who is so excited that he can't even stop for breath to tell his friends about someone he likes.This song is aggressive and brave and just really captures what a racing heartbeat feels like.

[@jamesgrassia844]

Definitely one of Paul's best.

[@jacklennon1035]

One of my favorite beatles songs as well

[@Dhruv-Malik]

The pace in this song is awesome

[@jacappy111]

🤨😴

[@Ayden_B]

Definitely an overlooked gem. The sequence in ‘Across the Universe’ is what really sold me on the song

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

The song is definitely not overlooked by true Beatles fans - those who know their song catalog well. It’s greatly appreciated 😊 I think Paul knows we love it because he plays it in concert every so often

[@sophielafayette3333]

This is my favorite Beatles song of all time. Thanks for the video ♥️

[@itamarbushari88]

Absolutely love this whole thing

[@chippo5118]

My favourite beatles song to play.

[@OneEyedKeys]

I've always wondered who performed the acoustic figner picking apreggiating intro to the song? It smacks of Paul, but maybe could have been George, though not his style. Anybody know?

[@ok-ki9ml]

I love all the Beatles Video you do

“I’ve just seen a face I can’t forget the time or place where we just met she’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to seen we’ve met...hmmm hmm hmm hm hm hm....”

Thanks for this video! One of my all time favorites!!

[@tonyalwayswaiting9953]

if you listen to guitar you can definitely hear the "skiffle" beat. so yes, its apparent the song was written in 50s

[@ZalexMusic]

Thanks for teaching me that word. I did some searching and definitely agree with you.

[@ellie3018]

Loved it :) you’re doing a great job

[@DrDolan2000]

I absolutely love this song as well as 9/10 of the songs from the Help! album

[@AndyFilms2000]

Kunisake The Artist what’s the one song you dislike?

[@DrDolan2000]

+@@AndyFilms2000 Act Naturally. Wouldn't say I really dislike it, I just don't like it as much as the other ones. But not because Ringo's a bad singer (he's actually really good)

[@BigHeretic]

@@DrDolan2000 I agree, *Act Naturally* is skip-able and for me it's mainly because of Ringo's voice.

[@bonheimshlaszenshmit2016]

That was a *"Bakersfield"* country song of Buck Owens.... Not a BEATLES song....

[@hofner4]

I hear Paul's acoustic fingering in key of "A". I think his Epiphone Texan was still tuned down a whole step from the Yesterday recording.

[@pkoven]

correct. one guitar is in A in standard pitch, the other in G at Capo 2. a common Beatles trick in many recordings. CCR did the same thing often.

[@ryantunks]

It's very possible this is a song Paul had started on while he was in school. That for sure is a fact for I'll Follow The Sun

[@gibby6904]

Yes you are correct....the lyrics keep pulling you forward......this song to me seems similar to And Your Bird Can Sing....which I know is a John song but they always make me think of the other song

[@JoeHuman]

I LOVE in Julie Taymor's movie how she has the character Jude falling for Lucy to this song. Song always makes me wanna go bowling. 😂🤟🏾✌🏾

[@phyllischarpentier4585]

I love this song

[@waynehanley72]

Does anyone else hear a little hint of Michael Nesmith in this song. Perhaps a little Beatles influence on the Pre-Fab Four, Nesmith. And a little Simon and Garfunkel (the Boxer).

[@jasontheredfox]

As great as always!

[@musicfanBRA]

Talk about a catchy song that makes you hum it and sing it and do a little dance to it all day long.

[@johnnyquist8362]

In the top five of all Beatle's songs. I'm 78 years old.

U know what this song happens to be my favorite song and really underrated

[@patrickbooten7028]

So with you and not without you 😁😀 . Also one of my favourit songs , while the whole help album is perfect . 4 young lads and 2 of them are the last greatest songwriters of all time to me . By the way ...... love i just seen ........ but that little guitarsolo makes it compleet , together with the hhhmmmm hhhmm and la la la la ☺☺☺ Greetings from belgium and pardon my bad spelling Please .

[@patrickbooten7028]

So manny songs the beatles wrote . if i can find 20 worse songs of 237 beatles songs ........ i know them all , and to be honoust . I counted 10 songs i didnt like . Thats what i call craftmanship in songwriting . Not to forget george martin to ......... he realy was the 5th beatle . Greetings from belgium , pardon my bad spelling Please

[@TimBurVlogs]

Yes this song really does stand alone.

[@boneappletea3858]

It's definitely from that era where they mimicked others more often. Especially folk and country.

[@ewest14]

This song sounds so modern

[@guyharvley4295]

It was the first song,and maybe the best, on the American Rubber Soul LP and was perfect for that album! Don't know why it's not on the CD Rubber Soul.

[@silversauceran]

who plays that intro is it also paul?

[@mickavellian]

Even as a kid and not knowing anything about music. I was blown away by "I've just seen a face" and I immediately know THIS is "something else" and I want to be a musician. And I STILL marvel at the complexity of the song. I never know it was a fast production because it is such an intricate piece of music just the intro and the pacing of the vocals were so complex it is hard to imagine that it was recorded in the same session as YESTERDAY. BTW You may be wrong as to the "Brushes" part . Ringo is clearly keeping a country tempo with a cross stick on the rim. The same as he did in "Tell me what you see"

[@patrickbooten7028]

Help is such a great beautiful album . Each album from the beatles is a classic . ( except Please Please Please me , which is average to me . But you can hear the potential ) help sounds to me very refreshing , also more eyes on songwriting . With the beatles was rock n roll , soul , blues ,americana . With other words ..... help is the crown of the live beatles . Please dont count rubber soul with live gigs . They played maybe 2 songs of rubber soul if i m correct . Everything is in ballance on help .... ........ then they went to there psychedelic era . Which era do you like ? Pr 66 or post 66 . Yes you may give youre opinnion on paul is dead or not dead . I'm here for music and opinnions which i respect . Please pardon my bad spelling

[@tonybates7870]

I always got the impression that this song was inspired by Bob Dylan, folk-rock being a big thing at the time. McCartney could write in so many styles. There are times I've wished he hadn't, but not in this case.

[@Valvey789]

Too bad they never did this live. Maybe it was too hard a bit of stage management to go all acoustic for one song. The track seems like it was sped up a little. Maybe recorded in Ab and moved up to A. He sings it live these days in G.

[@eddiegill]

It sounds like an Irish folk song. The Beatles were mostly Irish . Lennon means live in Gaelic

[@garymorrison4139]

This review vainly ignores the performance of George Harrison who not only gave this song its texture and harmonics but forever popularized the 12-string guitar in the process. In retrospect many critics confirm the belief that great as this band was, its Harrison playing guitar at another level that accounts for much of the magic.

I’ve always thought Jane Asher was better looking than Linda. But being an actress she had her own career and I guess Paul really didn’t like that as she was always on location filming movies.

I've Just Seen A Face is a terrific song, way underrated I think, Norwegian Wood follows perfectly. I prefer the US Capital release to the UK Parlophone. Better flow.
