Paul McCartney: For no one

[@robotm99]

I love how this song ends. By function of the last chord, something about it in our brain leaves you wanting more, but you can't have any; it's over just like the relationship spoken about in the song. Just plain brilliant.

[@cbseE9212]

Paul is a genius.

[@kitbirskovich1838]

Ends on the dominant harmony. Daring. Leaves us up in the air, harmonically speaking. Paul definitely gets it in regard to melody and harmony. A true composer of our generation.

I'm 64. Saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan early '64. I became a musician, like millions of other Americans, because of that night.My love of music has allowed me to travel and meet and play with folks all over the USA. And I never forget my first love: The Beatles. I learned to play bass by mimicking Paul's bass lines. Never had a lesson, can't read music but played on several albums here and there and jammed with great musicians. Thanks, Paul! I did finally get to see Paul live in Charlotte a few years back.

[@veritasinvicta8128]

He was correct, because he was talking about his friend, not this fraud William whom John couldn't stand. Elsewise why would John begin "How do you sleep" with the Sgt Pepper album. He started with that album because he was singing about Faul, not his old and close friend Paul who had been gone for a few years at that point. Billy Shears broke the Beatles up.

[@favouritemoon4133]

When I was a child, Paul was the cutest Beatle. Now I see him as someone who often wrote from the heart, with feeling. This live version feels a little bit fast for my ears, but the fact that he wrote this in what? his mid-twenties is still astonishing some 50 years later.

[@Johnoftheshire]

Paul’s ability and genius to write songs with great lyrics and melodies that oddly feel familiar - and welcome - the first time you hear them has been such a joy. Too many to count, and we all know the words to each!

a beautiful song sung by a truely beautiful man.

[@mathmusic1490]

Fab song. He's in C major. On the original Capital LP we got in the US, the song came out in B major. I'm a musician, so I've been playing it in B major all these years. I guess Paul did it back in the day for the LP in C major, and the producers/engineers at EMI slowed down the tape of the recording of Paul doing the song (" the mix") that they sent to Capital and we in the USA got it in B major. Just a little trivia from a Beatlemaniac. Beautiful song, no way around it. Amazing.

[@theclarkebloke]

Great observation, but i can happily inform you that the UK release of Revolver also has this song in B. Every chance he recorded it in C and George Martin varispeeded it down, as this was bang on the era The Beatles started utilising such techniques in the studio.

[@mathmusic1490]

Thank you 'theclarkebloke'. I as an American am honored to speak with a real Brit about music, especially British music, and especially the Beatles of Liverpool!!! Cheerio!

[@mathmusic1490]

A hearty 'hello' to a true Brit, 'theclarkebloke' and a big thnx to you for this. Honored here in the USA to converse with a Brit about British music, especially of the Beatles of Liverpool. Sir James Paul McCartney is one heck of a songwriter, singer, and player of bass, lead electric, acoustic, drums and, I'm told, about 25 other instruments. RIP Brian, both Georges and John.

[@ottavianimichel8010]

The descent in much easier on guitar and piano in C than in B.

[@MarcosDinnerstein]

I think I read recently that Paul tuned his guitar down a half step so that the fingering was in "C position' but the actual key was B. I've seen a few vids of him playing it and the chord shapes are for the key of C.

[@bbvenusian1960]

SIR PAUL, WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!

[@bunny10dickies]

I think the "older" ladies who cried to/in this concert who is in the same age as Paul saw them perform live in their teenage years and in this concert they remembered the feeling the first time they saw them and how they grew up in their music. The way they used to fangirl to the Beatles in their times. It's amazing. It's like "I remembered screaming how much I adore them while they perform" The Beatles is classic.
