“We wrote our first songs together, we grew up together and we lived our lives together. And when we'd do it together, something special would happen. There'd be that little magic spark. I still remember his beery old breath when I first met him here [Woolton church fete] that day. But I soon came to love that beery old breath. And I loved John.“ - Paul McCartney

Michael Parkinson: What was sad too was the way it drove a wedge between your relationship, you and John – was it always a spiky relationship? I mean, you said you loved him-

Paul: Yes M: -and that love comes through in the book. Did he love you? P: Yeah. I don’t think it was… Yeah, I think he did actually. *laughs* We’ll check. Just excuse me for a moment. ‘John, come on, baby, did, yes.’ Yeah, I think he did, yeah. It wasn’t actually a spiky relationship at all. It was, uh, very warm, very close and very loving, I think. All The Beatles. We used to say, I think we were amongst the first sort of men to come out openly – and you remember, it was quite sort of strange in those days, we’re talking about a long time ago now when homosexuality was still sort of largely illegal – we used to say ‘I love him’ on interviews and the interviewers would get slightly taken aback, a man saying he loved someone. But I think, quite genuinely, we really did and I still do. Um, but the business thing came right in the middle of it, the lawyers came along with the business thing and I talked to John many years. Because the great saving grace was we did put our relationship back together.

M: You did, it-

P: Thank god for that! Because I don’t know what I’d do now with him gone if we hadn’t. I think I would be, uh, wracked with all sorts of guilt. But we did.

This morning my friend @accio-johnlennon sent me this beautiful video, and I nearly fell of the chair, so I thought I had to share it with you all, writing a bit about the song before.

‘Call me back again’ is a huge mclennon song, Paul wrote it in 1976, after he and John had the ‘lost weekend’ and got in touch again. Every word in this song is about John, if you watch the videoclip you can notice it’s about Paul’s teenage years, and he sings that every night he called someone:

Well When I, When I Was Just A Little Baby Boy Every Night I Would Call Your Number Brought Me Joy.

He even pronounces ‘joy’ as  John, a little trick he used in ‘Oh!darling’ too with the whole ‘Oh!darling/oh!johnny’ thing.

And he sings, desperately, that he wants that person to call back again. Now, who’s someone who Paul knew since he was a kid and in 1976 wanted to ‘call back again’? 

AND, In this video he even whispers ‘John’ when singing:

Oh - I’ve Called Your Name, John.

"Well, I'm sure Brian was in love with John, I'm sure that's absolutely right. I mean, everyone was in love with John; John was lovable, John was a very lovable guy." - Paul

John cries while singing an early demo of Real Love and I’m Stepping Out. And it seems it’s about estranged Paul.

“Was I just dreaming, or was it only yesterday I used to hold you in my arms And now a baby and another on the way Lalalala farm Why must we be alone?”
