I’M LOOKING THROUGH YOU

"I'm Looking Through You" is a Lennon/McCartney song, written mainly by Paul McCartney, that first appeared on The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul.

It was written about Jane Asher, McCartney's girlfriend of five years, "You don't look different, but you have changed," the lyrics declare, reflecting his dissatisfaction with their relationship.

The Beatles recorded three versions of the song in October and November 1965. The original version recorded on 24 October was slower than the released version, had a significantly different rhythm, and lacked the "Why, tell me why..." middle eight of the final version. It was eventually released in 1996 on the Anthology 2 compilation.

The final version was recorded on 10 November with overdubs on 11 November and is the version included on Rubber Soul.

The stereo US version of the song contains a false guitar start.

The short story is about a guy who learns that a girl that he always liked is just divorced and plans to make a move.

"I'm Looking Through You" es una canción de Lennon/McCartney, escrita principalmente por Paul McCartney, que aparece por primera vez en su álbum de 1965 Rubber Soul.

La canción trata sobre Jane Asher, la novia de McCartney durante 5 años. "No te ves diferente, pero has cambiado," dicen las letras, reflejando su insatisfacción con la relación.

Los Beatles grabaron tres versiones de la canción en octubre y noviembre de 1965. La última versión fue incluida en Rubber Soul. La versión grabada el 24 de octubre era más lenta que la versión del disco, con un ritmo significativamente distinto, y sin el "Why, tell me why..." parte del medio de la versión final. Esta versión aparece en el Anthology 2.

La versión estero de Estados Unidos incluye una falsa introducción de guitarra.

La historia trata de un hombre que se entera que una mujer que siempre le gustó se acaba de divorciar, por lo que planea avanzarla.

THE LYRICS / LA LETRA

I'm looking through you, where did you go?

I thought I knew you, what did I know?

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear

Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear

You don't sound different, I've learned the game

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way

You were above me, but not today

The only difference is you're down there

I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go

I thought I knew you, what did I know

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Yeah

Oh baby I'm changed

Ah I'm looking through you
