Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all

her words of kindness linger on

she has to hurry

She no longer needs you

A love that should have lasted years

The story behind For No One is as austere as the song itself: Paul McCartney wrote it after an argument with his girlfriend Jane Asher during a skiing trip in the Swiss Alps in early 1966. The result is a two-minute ballad that embellishes nothing, neither in the lyrics nor in the arrangements. Paul plays piano and bass, Ringo Starr provides drums and tambourine, and the remaining space is filled by a French horn solo performed by Alan Civil. That solo has its own story: Paul had always wanted to include a French horn in a song, spoke with producer George Martin, and Martin brought in the best available player. When Civil finished the first take, Paul told him it was fine but that he could do better. In the end, they used that first take. The baroque sound of the song—unusual for The Beatles—is attributed to the influence of Asher's mother, a music teacher who had introduced McCartney to works by Bach and Haydn. John Lennon and George Harrison do not appear at any point, neither on vocals nor on instruments, which is quite rare in the band's catalogue. The song ends abruptly, just like the relationship it describes. It is part of Revolver, released on August 5, 1966 by Parlophone.
