🤔🤨??

PLAYBOY: “Do you stick pretty much together off-stage?”

JOHN: “Well, yes and no. Groups like this are normally not friends, you know. They’re just four people out there thrown together to make an act. There may be two of them who sort of go off and are friends, you know, but…”

GEORGE: “Just what do you mean by that?”

JOHN: “Strictly platonic, of course. But we’re all rather good friends, as it happens.

1965, Playboy Interview

This reminds me of:

"Nobody ever said anything about Paul's having a spell on me or my having one on Paul! They never thought that was abnormal in those days, two guys together, or four guys together! Why didn't they ever say, "How come those guys don't split up? I mean, what's going on backstage? What is this Paul and John business? How can they be together so long?" (Playboy, 1980)

And this:

Reporter: How do you like not having any privacy? Paul: We do have some, you know. John: We just had some. We just had some before, didn't we, Paul? You tell them. -San Francisco press conference, 1964

"Soulmates"

BINELLI: I’m interested in what you said about finding someone to collaborate with. It seems to me that when two people who are so perfectly matched, like you and John Lennon, after something like that, can you ever—

PAUL: No. The answer’s no. With John and I, it was so special, I think both of us knew we couldn’t get that again. [...] We really were a complete fluke. And then developed, organically, together. And had the same sense of humour. And learned things at the same rate. Found out about Vietnam together. Little things. All of these little awarenesses pretty much hit us at the same time over a period of years. And you really become soulmates when that happens.

Here’s something you didn’t ask for: an (almost!) four minute long compilation of Paul McCartney mouthing the words to various songs. It’s a habit he just can’t seem to kick!

Paul singing Here Today in 2004. He repeats the "I Love You" part four times

me when i finally meet paul mccartney and get to talk to him

[maccapaul3]

I wanted to know what Paul's looking so lovingly at on the back of their cover so I recreated his hand placement and this is approximately where his left hand is pointing at.

Here is a clean copy for my John girlies:

For one thing, there is still speculation if John Lennon really wrote "In My Life" for Paul Mccartney. This is me purely theorizing.

I've always wondered why Paul was so pissed at Phil Spector's changes for the Let It Be album, and dismissed it to Paul's "artistic controlling" personality (which is quite understandable).

But what if it was because of the erasure of the baroque sounding part in "Long and Winding Road" which sounds similar to the one in "In My Life"?

Was Paul trying to remind John of his words? "In my life, I love you more"?

The Long and Winding Road's naked version from 2003 shows the rawness of the song.

"Don't keep me standing here…

Lead me to your door...

*piano*

But still they lead me back to the long, winding road."

Also going back to the origin of the song's title (source Barry Miles) : Paul McCartney said he came up with the title "The Long and Winding Road" during one of his first visits to his property High Park Farm, near Campbeltown in Scotland, which he purchased in June 1966.

The old man farm dream was never fulfilled in the end.
