it was 64 years ago today! Paul McCartney (19) and John Lennon (20) begin their hitchhiking trip to Spain for the latter’s 21st birthday.
stopping in Paris, the pair decided halt their journey. they ended up spending the entire week in the city, taking photographs, even getting the iconic Beatles haircut
the trip inspired McCartney to pen the song Cafe On The Left Bank, released on the 1978 Wings album London Town
Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine / touching all the girls with your eyes
I’m actually quite a fan of ‘ordinary’. I hope in many ways it defines me, and so also many of the songs I’ve written. Don’t get me wrong; I like extraordinary people and things, but if people can be great and ordinary at the same time, that to me is kind of special. - Paul McCartney discusses 'Cafe On The Left Bank', The Lyrics
