Craig and David, The Wedding Tapes
I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
That we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
La, di, di, da di di
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
I have never known
The likes of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
I’ve just seen a face
I can t forget the time or place
And we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, la di di
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
I can’t forget the time or place
That we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
La, di, di, da di di
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
I have never known
The likes of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
I’ve just seen a face
I can t forget the time or place
And we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, la di di
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
“I’ve Just Seen a Face” was written by Paul McCartney[1][2] (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and features McCartney on vocals. Before its release, the song was briefly titled “Aunty Gin’s Theme” after his father’s youngest sister, because it was one of her favourites.[3][4] It is one of the very few guitar-based Beatles songs that lacks a bass track.
According to music critic Richie Unterberger of allmusic, “Several songs on 1964’s Beatles for Sale, as well as “I’ll Cry Instead” from A Hard Day’s Night, had leaned in a country and western direction. But ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’ was almost pure country, taken at such a fast tempo that it might have been bluegrass if not for the absence of banjo and fiddle.”[5] Music critic Ian MacDonald said the up tempo song “lifted the later stages of the Help! album with its quickfire freshness.”[6] Capitol Records chose it as the lead track of the US edition ofRubber Soul, with the intent of giving the album a strong folk sound in step with the then-current Folk Rock movement.
