George and Ringo: How friends wake up a friend.

Paul: How a darling wife wakes up her husband.

*through gritted teeth, of course* i am soooo normal about the beatles and i have a perfectly common amount of knowledge about the dynamics between john lennon and paul mccartney

I don’t think the McLennon fandom is talking enough about John’s word association exercise from 1976. 

“Paul: extraordinary”

McLennon moments that radiate a certain soft energy

[ohdarlinq]

I hate you, I really hate you…so much I think it must be true love

Because how can you think of true love’s antics without McLennon?

“As I continue to write my own songs, I’m still very conscious that I don’t have him around, but I still have him whispering in my ear after all these years. I’m often second-guessing what John would’ve thought - ‘this is too soppy’ - or what he would’ve said differently, so I sometimes change it. But that’s what being a songwriter is about; you have to be able to look over your own shoulder”

“ I have to do this by myself these days. And if anyone asks me what I was like to work with John, the truth was it was easier - much easier, because there were two minds at work. Mine would be doing this, his would be doing that, and the interplay was just miraculous. And that’s why people are still listening to the songs we wrote. They didn’t just go away like your average pop song. The climate that the two of us created in writing wasn’t a soppy pop song climate. We created an environment in which we might grow, try new things, maybe even learn a thing or two.”

“John is gone I can’t sit around sighing for the old days. I can’t sit around wishing he was still here. Not only can I not replace him, but I don’t need to, in some profound sense.”

- Paul McCartney in his new book ‘The Lyrics’ 2021

they’re so fucking rom-comy that’s what gets me. The 1950s summer meetcute set to a perfect and lyrically pertinent soundtrack?? The joke that is a gangly teenage boy looking like Elvis when viewed by someone who’s legally blind?? the whole good boy corrupted by an older leather bound teddy boy much to the dismay of his overprotective father thing they’ve got going on?? romantic trips to PARIS of all places?? they’re so fucking cliché who wrote this shit
