3 Things to Know About the False Start in "I'm Looking Through You"

The false start is on the final master of the song from Rubber Soul. Paul McCartney counts in “one, two, three, four” and then says a quick “oh” before the song begins.

The band kept the mistake because they liked the energy. The entire take was recorded in one go, which was rare for them at that point.

It’s a happy accident that makes the recording feel alive. The unplanned moment adds a raw, human quality to the track.
