Which Harrison-written song appears on Rubber Soul alongside 'Think for Yourself'?

George Harrison’s “If I Needed Someone” appears on Rubber Soul alongside “Think for Yourself.”

Both songs were written by Harrison and appear on the Beatles’ 1965 album Rubber Soul. “Think for Yourself” opens the album’s second half of songwriting credits for Harrison, while “If I Needed Someone” appears later on side two, between “Wait” and “Run for Your Life” in the original UK sequence.

The song was recorded at EMI Studios on 16 October 1965 and released in Britain on 3 December. Its bright, ringing guitar pattern was influenced by the sound of the Byrds, particularly Roger McGuinn’s chiming twelve-string style. Harrison’s writing was becoming more assured, and the two Rubber Soul songs helped establish him as a songwriter alongside Lennon and McCartney.

The title is sometimes confused with “I Need You,” another Harrison composition released on Help! in 1965. “Old Brown Shoe” and “Blue Jay Way” belong to later Beatles albums, so neither is a Rubber Soul track.
