I’m Looking Through You — Part 1

This week on Revolution, Justin, Austin, and Tyler dig into Paul McCartney’s “I’m Looking Through You,” one of the great overlooked tracks from Rubber Soul.

We explore the song’s connection to Paul’s increasingly strained relationship with Jane Asher, the surprisingly mature and direct lyrics, and how a catchy, upbeat recording disguises a song about realizing that someone you love has changed.

We’ll also look at where the song fits into the remarkable creative leap The Beatles were making in 1965, Paul’s changing approach to songwriting, and the first version of “I’m Looking Through You” that The Beatles recorded — and ultimately abandoned.

We’re not Beatles experts — just three fans digging into the music, history, and stories, seeing where they take us. And with Tyler experiencing much of the Beatles story with relatively fresh ears, there’s always a different perspective at the table.

This is Part 1 of our deep dive into “I’m Looking Through You.”
