5 Underrated Beatles Songs That You Should Get to Know, Part II
A week and a half ago, I published a blog post titled "5 Underrated Beatles Songs That You Should Get to Know". Originally, it was going to contain 10 songs in total, but it got too wordy towards the end. Therefore, in this second part, I would like to share five other songs that the casual fan may not know or remember, from the Beatles' vast and popular catalogue.
5. I've Just Seen a Face
Out of all the songs on this list, this is quite likely the one most likely to be recognized, as Paul McCartney, its main songwriter, has taken to performing it live throughout his career, bringing more recognition to the tune. It was also mentioned in the 2012 film Stuck in Love, starring Jennifer Connelly and Greg Kinnear.
Recorded in June 1965 as part of the Help! album sessions, the track is one of a few songs by the Beatles that does not have a bass line. The song's instrumental part is quite catchy, but its true treasure is in the lyrics.
Most love songs one will hear are related to the loss of love or an unrequited one. With "I've Just Seen a Face", McCartney's famous optimism comes to light. If there has ever been a song that captures the feeling a man or woman feels the first time they gaze upon the person he or she is bound to fall in love with, it is this one.
