Good Morning/Good Afternoon/Good Evening. Song of The Day. You Wont See Me is a song by the Beatles, from the album Rubber Soul. Though credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was written by Paul McCartney. The song is a rare instance of McCartney singing a lower harmony to John Lennon and George Harrisons higher harmonies. The song is about a crisis in McCartneys relationship with his then-girlfriend Jane Asher. She was rejecting him by not returning phone calls and ignoring him — for once, he was in a vulnerable position. The more biting tone of the song marks a change away from his earlier, happier love songs. You Wont See Me was recorded during the last session for Rubber Soul on the night of November 11, 1965. The deadline for completing the album was up and the band needed to record three songs that evening to complete. As a result, they cut the song in only two takes. At 3:22, the song was the longest that The Beatles had recorded to that point and marked a trend by Bob Dylan and others at the time to start writing longer songs. Mal Organ Evans (one of The Beatles roadies throughout their career) is credited on the album sleeve as having played Hammond organ on this track, his contribution consisting solely of an A note quietly held throughout the last part of the song. You Wont See Me was never a part of The Beatles concert repertoire, but McCartney played the song live during his 2005-06 concert tour. youtube/watch?v=BsrQgIQSQSw
