Emmylou Harris sings the Beatles', 'For No One'.

   • Beatles' Covers.   "For No One" is a song by the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. It was written by Paul McCartney, and credited to Lennon–McCartney. An early example of baroque pop drawing on both baroque music and nineteenth-century art song it describes the end of a romantic relationship. Mostly performed by the composer, the track is distinguished by its French horn line performed by Alan Civil, played first as a solo and then as counterpoint in the final verse. It was considered one of McCartney's most mature compositions to date on its release. McCartney recalls writing "For No One" in the bathroom of a ski resort in the Swiss Alp while on holiday with his then girlfriend Jane Asher; "I suspect it was about another argument," he later recalled The lyrics end enigmatically with the line "A love that should have lasted years". The song's working title was "Why Did It Die?" The composition is built on a descending scale progression in B major with a refrain that modulates to C-sharp minor. The song was recorded on 9, 16 and 19 May 1966. McCartney sang and played clavichord, piano and bass guitar, while Ringo Starr played drums, tambourine and maracas. Neither John Lennon nor George Harrison contributed to the recording. The French horn solo was by Alan Civil, a British horn player described by recording engineer Geoff Emerick as the "best horn player in London". During the session, McCartney pushed Civil to play a note that was beyond the usual range of the instrument. According to Emerick, the result was the "performance of his life". Civil said that the song was "recorded in rather bad musical style, in that it was 'in the cracks' [not in concert pitch], neither B-flat nor B-major. This posed a certain difficulty in tuning my instrument." Civil is one of the few session musicians to receive credit on a Beatles album.
