==== "For No One" ==== "[[For No One]]" was inspired by McCartney's relationship with English actress [[Jane Asher]].{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|pp=79β80}}{{sfn|Sounes|2010|p=144}} Along with "Good Day Sunshine", which similarly dispensed with guitar parts for Harrison and Lennon, Rodriguez cites the track as an example of McCartney eschewing the group dynamic when recording his songs, a trend that would prove unpopular with his bandmates in later years.{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|pp=136, 143β44}} The recording features McCartney playing piano, bass and clavichord,{{sfn|Winn|2009|p=18}} accompanied by Starr on drums and percussion.{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=205}} The [[French horn]] solo was added by [[Alan Civil]], the principal horn player for the [[Philharmonia Orchestra]],{{sfn|Lewisohn|2005|p=79}} who recalled having to "busk" his part, with little guidance from McCartney or Martin at the overdubbing session.{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=46}} While recognising McCartney's "customary logic" in the song's musical structure, MacDonald comments on the sense of detachment conveyed in the lyrics to this "curiously phlegmatic account of the end of an affair". MacDonald suggests that McCartney was attempting to employ the same "dry cinematic eye" that director [[John Schlesinger]] had adopted in his 1965 film ''[[Darling (1965 film)|Darling]]''.{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=205}}
