I've Just Seen a Face

Today's song is "I've Just Seen a Face" by special request.

The working title was "Auntie Gin's Theme" because Paul McCartney's Aunt Gin liked it. It is one of the very few guitar based Beatles songs which lacks a bass track. The song, principally the work of Paul McCartney, starts with a few bars of acoustic guitar patterns not heard elsewhere in the song, abruptly changing gears into a stiff-beat shuffle that's almost as fast as any song the Beatles wrote.

"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 see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm"

Falling, yes I am falling.
