"You Won't Run across Me" is a vocal by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 anthology Prophylactic Soul. It was written past Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Every bit with songs such every bit "We Tin can Piece of work Information technology Out" and "I'm Looking Through You lot" from the same period, the lyrics accost McCartney'due south troubled relationship with Jane Asher and her desire to pursue her career equally a phase and film actress. The Beatles recorded the vocal during what author Mark Lewisohn describes as a "marathon" final recording session for Rubber Soul,[i] to ensure the anthology's pre-Christmas release.

Canadian singer Anne Murray covered "You Won't Meet Me" in 1974. Her version was a top-ten hit in the Usa and Canada.

Background and inspiration [edit]

McCartney wrote the vocal in the basement music room at 57 Wimpole Street (pictured in 2008), the Asher family's home in central London.

"You Won't See Me" is about a crunch in McCartney's relationship with his then girlfriend, Jane Asher. Iv years younger than McCartney, Asher was approaching twenty and no longer willing to adhere to his wish that she stay at habitation and put his interests first.[2] In late 1965, while the Beatles were recording the album Condom Soul in London, she had accepted an offer to appear in a stage product at the Bristol Quondam Vic theatre.[3] After a heated argument, the couple had briefly ended the relationship. When he then attempted to telephone her in Bristol, Asher rejected him by not returning his calls.[iv] McCartney after said that it was "shattering to exist without her".[4]

Since 1963, McCartney had lived at the Asher family unit habitation, on Wimpole Street in central London. He recalled writing the vocal in the family music room, in the basement of the business firm. He said that the composition originated from "a ii-note progression that I had very high on the first two strings of the guitar: the E and B strings", which he adult by playing descending semitones on the B cord while letting the top string band out. He described the vocal as "very Motown-flavoured" with a "James Jamerson feel".[v] He drew musical inspiration for the limerick from the 4 Tops' "It'due south the Same Erstwhile Song", which was a hit unmarried in the UK in late 1965.[6]

During this menstruation, McCartney also wrote "We Tin can Work It Out" and "I'thousand Looking Through Y'all" as commentaries on his and Asher's relationship.[7] [8] The more biting tone of his lyrics marked a modify from his typical love songs; in author Howard Sounes' estimation, "Y'all Won't See Me" presents McCartney as "bitter" and "the jealous boyfriend".[9] McCartney afterwards said of the band's approach to songwriting on Rubber Soul: "We'd had our cute catamenia, and now information technology was time to aggrandize."[ten]

Recording [edit]

The Beatles recorded "You Won't See Me" during the terminal day of recording for Prophylactic Soul – an all-night session that started at 6 pm on 11 Nov 1965.[11] The deadline for completing the album was up, and the band needed to record three songs that night, in addition to finishing work on "I'm Looking Through You".[one] As a result, they cutting the song in only two takes.[12] At iii:22, it was the longest rails the Beatles had recorded upward to this betoken.[13] The fadeout is slightly longer on the mono mix.[xiv]

McCartney played piano on the bones rail and then overdubbed his bass part. The tempo gradually slows downwards throughout the vocal, a bespeak that music journalist Robert Fontenot attributes to McCartney leading the operation on piano, rather than Ringo Starr'due south timekeeping abilities on the drums.[15] In author Jonathan Gould's description of the song, the tempo appears to "drag" due to McCartney's "hyperactive Motown-style bass line".[sixteen] Mal Evans, ane of the Beatles' roadies, is credited on the anthology sleeve as having played Hammond organ.[xiii] His contribution consists solely of an A note held throughout the final poesy[14] and the coda.[6] Gould too comments on the effect achieved by John Lennon and George Harrison's wordless backing vocals over the verses, saying that their voices represent "a pair of deafened ears" by "embodying the girl'southward indifference" to McCartney's complaints.[17] Starr augmented his drum function with a separate hello-chapeau overdub, adding rhythmic accents throughout the song.[6]

Release and reception [edit]

Rubber Soul was released on 3 December 1965 on EMI's Parlophone tape label.[18] "You Won't Come across Me" was sequenced equally the tertiary track,[19] between Lennon'south "Norwegian Woods" and "Nowhere Man".[xx] While the album was an immediate commercial success,[19] some reviewers in the Uk were unprepared for the artistic progression the Beatles had made in their musical arrangements and as lyricists.[21] [22]

In his review for Record Mirror, Richard Green wrote: "Information technology is possible to say that Lennon and McCartney are the keen songwriting team of the mean solar day and that Beatles performances are spot-on, just this LP cannot support that statement." He included "You Won't See Me" amidst the tracks that were "deadening and ordinary" with "none of the old Beatles excitement and compulsiveness about them".[23] Melody Maker said that the band's sound had become "a piddling subdued" and that songs such as "You Won't See Me" and "Nowhere Human" "almost get monotonous – an united nations-Beatle-similar feature if e'er there was 1".[21] By contrast, Nikki Wine (aka Eden) of KRLA Beat institute the album "unbelievably sensational" and described "Yous Won't See Me" equally "1 of the greatest arrangements and blending of melodies past the Beatles ... and it has to be i of the all-time cuts on the disc."[24]

Among more contempo appraisals, Tim Riley says that the song's "antagonism can't aid being tempered by [McCartney's] melodic suavity, and then he winds upward sounding like an innocent victim rather than a co-conspirator in a dearest thing"; similarly, the arrangement and the position of McCartney'due south vocal in the mix ensure that "the texture becomes more engaging than the emotion."[25] Riley yet admires the complementary aspect of McCartney's bass and pianoforte contributions, calculation of Prophylactic Soul as a whole: "without ever being intrusive, his bass emerges as an irreplaceable part of the overall texture. Because he virtually breathes melody, his bass lines begin to soar with inventive counterpoint to the band ..."[26] Ian MacDonald says the song, like "Nowhere Man", "needed something to elevator it" and rues the group'south apply of the "irritating 'ooh-la-la-la' backing-vocal formula". He concludes that, while it is "redeemed" past McCartney'southward fluid bass playing, "'You Won't See Me' soon founders under the weight of its ain self-pity and expires long before struggling to the stop of an unusually protracted fade."[6] In his song review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger finds the buoyant tune at odds with the dejected lyrics, merely he praises the vocal arrangement, specially "the brilliant interaction of counterpoint melodies" through the addition of Lennon and Harrison's harmonies.[27]

Murray later re-recorded the song every bit a duet with Shelby Lynne as role of her 2007 Duets: Friends & Legends album.[thirty] A self-confessed Beatles fanatic, Murray covered several other songs of theirs as singles, including "Twenty-four hours Tripper" and "I'm Happy Just to Trip the light fantastic toe with You".
