The story behind
The Who recorded I Need You in 1965, as part of the album Help!. The song was released in February of that year, after a period without releasing material. The lyrics speak of a feeling of dependence, of wanting someone to be present. It is an intimate theme, with a touch of sadness. George Harrison plays a guitar with a effects pedal for the first time, something that gives it a distinct sound. The song also appears in the film Help!, just before another song called The Night Before. It is not a very complex song, but it has an emotion that makes it special. ↓ Skip to chordsEm D
