And Your Bird Can Sing
I love the harmonies on this song. According to Wiki, Lennon was dismissive of the song thinking of it as a “throw away”. I really rather like it but what do I know? Another article referred to a similarity with the Byrds, which I think that there certainly is.
Overall, a good track

The "giggle version" on Anthology Vol. 2 sounds even more like The Byrds — it's like they're trying to copy the guitar sound as precisely as possible, which they could do because they had Rickenbackers.
Personally I never owned a Rickenbacker though, or any semi-hollow, so I should try to be less judgmental.

For No One
AKA “Why Did It Die? Another Paul love song but for me, far much more interesting lyrically as it’s about the lose of love.
Feels similar to Yesterday and is one of the best songs on Revolver. (What feels like) A simple song performed very well
I’m bound to be corrected on this but I understand that George and John were not on the recording.

You are correct on this one. John and George didn't make tracks without the others: Paul (especially later) often did.
Makes sense on this one: there are no guitars and no backing vocals.
Lennon one said he really liked this song.

Yeh! I got one right. It’s a great song.
