for me it gives "when you told a story so many times you has to change it up so you won't die from boredom + you have to tailor it to your current pr" (<- you know what postings i mean)
ps. i love No words!!! i think it's a standout track on the album! (bassline is too busy for it tho)
context: this post + my tags
TBH I wouldn't think it's conscious or purposeful, because Paul hasn't really changed his Let It Be and Yesterday origin stories, which he's retold way more often. (although, tangential: it's wild that John's little contribution to Yesterday has been effectively written out of history, and that it's partially John's fault…)
As I said in the tags of an earlier post, I think it's actually really easy, if you often recall a specific memory (and Paul himself said he would recall John saying "It's only me" like it was a mantra), to suddenly feel like this thing that happened once actually happened regularly.
I haven't seen Man On The Run yet (going though!) but I would wager that "I'm still the guy you loved in Liverpool" isn't really Paul claiming John literally said that but instead Paul "translating" how he understands "It's only me." Which I don't think really counts as changing the story, it's just a slight elaboration.
And YES!!! No Words is really underrated, I looooove how much passion comes through in the guitar, because there really are no words for his love!!! And I love the disco-y strings.
