Sitting On A Cornflake 🌽

She/her | Sagittarius | 22 | “Paul?” “Extraordinary.”

[sittingonacornflakke]

“And then there were two…”

[sittingonacornflakke]

Paul saying “go get in your bag” and “the couple of the year award goes to John and Yoko” while they’re hugging is the biggest jealous ex wife energy I’ve ever seen

[sittingonacornflakke]

They consider each other siblings 🥺😭

Part 2

[sittingonacornflakke]

“That was around this same time, when I was twenty-something and going out on the moped from my dad’s house to Betty’s house. I was taking a friend, Tara Guinness. He died later in a car accident. He was a nice boy. I wrote about him in ‘A Day in the Life’ : ‘He blew his mind out in a car / He didn’t notice that the lights had changed.’”

- Paul McCartney in ‘The Lyrics’ 2021

[sittingonacornflakke]

“ We both enjoyed wordplay. I recently bought a lot of drawings and writings by John. I have them on my wall so I get to look at them all the time, and it’s just pun city. That was part of John’s cleverness. Anything that could be distorted, was.”

- Paul McCartney in ‘The Lyrics’ 2021

[sittingonacornflakke]

“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

Just thinking about Paul wearing what looks like ✨the bracelet✨in New Orleans 1975 where he was going to record and supposedly meet up with John

Paul on Mark Ronsons ‘Watch the Sound’ July 30th 2021 - Bringing up John completely unprovoked as always

[sittingonacornflakke]

“After recordings sessions, at two or three in the morning, we’d be careering through the villages on the way to Weybridge, shouting ‘wey-hey’ and driving much too fast. George would perhaps be in his Ferrari - he was quite a fast driver - and John and I would be following in his big Rolls Royce or the Princess. John had a Mike in the Rolls with a loudspeaker outside and he’d be shouting to George in front: ‘it is foolish to resist, it is foolish to resist! Pull over!’ It was insane. All the lights would go on in the houses as we went past - it must have freaked everybody out.” - Paul

Via official Beatles Instagram

My question is : Why is Paul going back to Weybridge with John at two or three in the morning ?

Favourite One Line Beatle Moments

What is your favourite Beatles moment that you can sum up with one line?

“We ain’t written no poetry”

this one had to be my all time favourite. everything about it, the energy, the camera shots, the confusion, or the ad reads keep going, John’s face.

Imagine spending all that money on Paul’s book just for him to write that Oh! Darling is about another unnamed female ™
