Tim is joined by journalist, writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed to explore Rubber Soul's 'You Won’t See Me'.
The conversation explores the song’s double meanings, its portrayal of relationship tension, and McCartney’s ability to transform personal experience into art. They also discuss the evolving depiction of women in Beatles songs, the broader social changes of the 1960s, and how Rubber Soul captures a band (and a culture) in transition.
Musically, they highlight the track’s rich harmonies, inventive structure, and standout bass line, as well as its subtle sophistication beneath an apparently simple surface. Along the way, Samira shares insights from her new BFI Film Classics book on A Hard Day’s Night.
