Its funny how representative of the Beatles canon these lists are: George basically gets one track per list :)

"If I Fell" is a John song and is on A Hard Day's Night and "I'm Looking Through You" is a Paul song and is on Rubber Soul, BWAP.

George's song on A Hard Day's Night is "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You" (thought it was written by Lennon/McCartney, not Harrison).

George's songs on Rubber Soul (which he wrote) are "Think For Yourself" and "If I Needed Someone"

If I Fell is one of the most sublime examples of Paul and John harmonizing ever recorded. I love some of those early songs that have melodies created through the harmonies (From Me To You, Hold Your Hand, etc.). Just lovely.

I love singing that with a friend who knows it. I always do the low harmony. I loved that when I heard it. I still like low harmonies more than high to this day and try to work them into my songs. Thanks John
