[syndicateanyboat]

marketing an album as being a sentimental reflection on his childhood and then having it start with a psychotic stalker techno bonanza is so, so paul

[princesspaulie13]

"What's the secret?"

Q: The song talks about the beginning of your friendship with John Lennon, and you mention a secret that you kept. Are you able to tell us what that secret was? Paul: No, I mean, that's the secret, you know. The lyrics is, "We met at Forthlin Road and wrote a secret code." So I'm meaning we wrote songs, but you did, you had secrets that only you two know. That's what brings you together.

It would be interesting if someone asked him about the “promise”, rather than just the “secret code.” The code can easily be explained away as referring to songs they wrote, like Paul does here (and I do think Paul is telling the truth there btw. He has said many times that he reveals things in his songs). But the promise feels much more personal, because he specifically says he’s still keeping it to this day.

i like how you can tell which paul mccartney songs are love songs to john lennon bc they’re the ones where he is intentionally cagey about what inspired them

"I dream about him"

----

"Always, always, my friend You'll be my only one

Last night, I dreamed of you And all that we could do Together, side-by-side We two can do

Whatever we decide is right Somehow we're bound to know I'll be there 'til the end I'd never need to go"

[hatemyrockandroll]

"Open up your mind Open up your heart Nothing else is keeping us apart"

bruh...

the boys of dungeon lane + i will echoes

[illstaywithmine]

I actually can’t..

[bodhbdearg]

Can you imagine if Tumblr existed when Wings albums were coming out? Every new one containing at least two Hey This is Clearly About John bangers, waaay less subtle than anything on TBODL imo. Tumblr when Let Me Roll It dropped? No Words?? Little LAMB DRAGONFLY?? CALL ME BACK AGAIN??? Absolute carnage, no survivors

Recurring themes in Paul McCartney's music....

"First star of the night (Venus)

Shows her light to me

And I know my little world is still alright

Yes, I know my little world is still alright"

"Venus and Mars are alright tonight"

How more blatant does this man have to get

[probably-an-alien]

Here I am with my tin hat about Come Inside:

You can read my mind

If you wanted to

You can come inside

You got to let me know

What you want to do

I don’t wanna hide

Step right up and take a look

See what you can find

All my life’s an open book

Come inside my mind

I can tell the truth

If you want to hear

What I have to say

There’s not a single thing

That you have to fear

If you come my way

[...]

Open up your mind (Yeah)

Open up your heart (Yeah)

Nothing else is keeping us apart

[...]

I think he's telling us what he's been telling us for years now: we need to look at his song lyrics and actually look at the the emotional story they are telling over the years. He's not just giving us permission to finally put the pieces together, he's basically imploring us to do so.
