    That was a radio perfect single. Shimmering and brilliant, the Beatle harmonies, gorgeous new Strat tones, and Paul's little high up there cinematic closing line. I paid fifty cents which included tax at the local radio and appliance store for this single, which had the came cover as the Beatles For Sale album. Incidentally the Byrds song "Turn, Turn, Turn" had just previously been out with its nice harmonies and 12-string electric sound, which was influencing the Beatles, whom they'd been imitating. It's well worth a listen. The Byrds were a monumental American band in that era.

    I told you guys a few days ago, the perfect song and perfect performance, it's just beautiful on every level. This one and "Here Comes The Sun" are my top two favorite Beatles songs ever. John stated in his last big interview with Playboy that this one and "Help" were his two favorite Beatles tracks that he wrote because "They were real, they were what I was feeling at the time and are just as relevant to me now in 1980 as they were in 1965 when I wrote them". My favorite line in the song is " He's as blind as he can be, just sees what he wants to see" I bet every human that has ever lived on this planet has been guilty of that from time to time. Just seeing what we want to see.
    This song hits me because aren't we all a "Nowhere Man" from time to time?

    Nowhere Man was the Beatles first political song (John wrote it about himself), signaling their transformation from insanely popular to insanely innovative and influential.

    This song never gets old even after hearing it for many decades. Such a great hook and masterful vocals by Lennon. Pure ear candy!
