I've Just Seen a Face

[The End]

Sounds great when Paul plays this live.

[Indica]

^ Amen.

[MrMustard11]

It reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel when he does the various whatever-you-call-thems after each verse...

Definately great folk. Great song.

[Paulsluv]

I LOVE THIS SONG! I'm listening to it right now. Paul's voice is sooooooooo sexy.  

[sexy sadie]

its an alright song, not one of my faves

The songs on the Help! Album are quite possibly their greatest "earlier" tunes. And I think "I've Just Seen a Face" is a really great track. You can't help but want to sing along to it. I think the tempo of the song is very upbeat and in a sense uplifting. I love the chorus!
I agree with all of those who said it's a very under-rated song!! Defintely one of my favorite songs.
I think that another song which happens to be VERY under-rated (even though it does NOT belong to the Help! album) is the song "I Will" from The White Album. Would anyone agree with that?

[The End]

It was a very big influence on the Monkees' sound too!! Seriously!

I think it has a bit of a country folk sound to it. The day this "Rubber Soul" lp came out I listened to it numerous times and it occured to me that the Beatles had become more introspective. Drive my Car wasn't on my Lp and the whole "rock" feel was gone and replaced by a mellower sound. It had a country type of feel with a little folk included. The black turtle necks and suede coats had taken over the Beatles look! As so many times before and later they had re-invented both their musical style and looks!

[pc31]

I like it a lot. Would the style of this song be considered rockabilly? PC? Anyone?

not really rockabilly gotta be  bluesier.

[apple sauce]

I think a little more of a Folk/country sound. As was quite a few songs on this LP. I read in some reviews that the Beatles had become  enamoured with American western movies and this was a big influence on their song writing at the time!!!!

[rita_marley]

Yeah nice song! Good job this time Paul !

[scousette]

Brillilant track!

[GreenApple]

MrMustard is absolutely right, it really sounds like Simon and Garfunkel to me. But which came first, Simon and Garfunkel or Paul's song - were the duo established when Help was being made? Could Paul have been influenced by Paul Simon here? It certainly makes an interesting change as a Beatles song.

[Hello Goodbye]

Currently, I've Just Seen A Face is my favorite Beatles song.

It took ten years but Paul finally took a lesson from groups like these...

Beatles - I've Just Seen a Face - cover by The Brothers Comatose

I've Just Seen a Face (cover) The Grasshoppers


...and performed a bluegrass version in 1975...

I've Just Seen A Face Wings Live 1975

I think Paul was keenly aware of what and who was going on around him. Also feel a Simon and garfunkle influence with Bridge Over Troubled Waters and Let It Be, Have You Ever been Experienced and Helter Skelter. IMO
