Beatles - For No One Song MeaningsLyrics:Your day breaks, your mind aches You find that all the words of kindness linger on When she no longer needs you She wakes up, she mak... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-12-22 08:39:03 Rating:   'For no one' is one of a number of songs in which McCartney expresses an uncharacteristic male empathy for females. Others include 'She's leaving home' and 'Just another day'. This song seems to be about a long term relationship gone stale. The title suggests that the relationship is actually dead. McCartney sings it in quite an understated manner which probably reflects the quiet desparation built up in the relationship. It is a quiet listening song, quite tender and quite sad. It demonstrates a remarkable maturity of observation and empathy in someone as young as McCartney was when he wrote it. In my view it is very under rated and actually deserves to be considered one of McCartney's finest works - though the haunting arrangement no doubt owes a great deal to George Martin.
Submitted by: anonymous I agree with the first interpretation, although I believe it was written about McCartney's failing relationship with Jane Asher...
