An article for Far Out Magazine revisits "Tell Me What You See", a lesser-known Beatles track from 1965's Help! album, which Paul McCartney himself once described as unmemorable. The piece explores how the song was largely a functional, "work job" composition written during a period when McCartney and John Lennon were still refining their songwriting partnership, with Lennon often acting as a check on McCartney's more sentimental tendencies.

McCartney reportedly recalled the song as "not awfully memorable", viewing it as a modest attempt at the folk-influenced sound John Lennon was exploring at the time via Bob Dylan's influence. Despite McCartney's own dismissive assessment, the article notes the song has its admirers, including Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, who has named it among her favourite Beatles tracks, and highlights its relatable lyrical theme of unrequited love.
