If I Fell lyrics written by John Lennon

Autograph manuscript for “If I Fell”, from “A Hard Days Night”, aboard a U.S airline, c. late February, 1963. Written on the back of a valentine which had been given to Paul, and which was apparently the only suitable writing surface available at 30,000 feet, the manuscript is 1 page, written on the verso of the unfolded valentine on one half of the sheet, approximately 11 ½ x 6 in. “If I Fell” is one of John’s most powerfully poignant ballads, and one of the most important and early songs to appear at auction. Ostensibly written while the Beatles were in America for a famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, John, sitting in the plane seat next to Paul suddenly got the inspiration for one of the best songs which would be released on 1964’s landmark “A Hard Days Night.” By the cadence and subtleties of the lyrics you can tell that John already has the music in his head as he fits it with the perfect words. Time stands still, something very special is coming to life as he sits working on the back of Paul’s valentine.

[Intro] If I fell in love with you Would you promise to be true And help me understand /Cause I’ve been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands. 1. If I gave [changed to give] my heart to you I must be sure From the very start that you’re Gonna love me more than her 2. If I trust in you oh please Don’t run and hide If I love you too oh please Don’t hurt my pride like her. (she) Cause I couldn’t stand the pain / And I would be sad / If our new love was in vain / 3. So I hope you see that I / Would love to love you / I hope that she will cry / When she hears that we are two /

"I've only heard that lately about Paul" - ok, so we have the proof that McLennon fandom existed even in the 70s <3

Also: I wonder if John was joking or not.

“I was trying to put it ‘round that I was gay, you know - I thought it would throw them off… dancing at the gay clubs in Los Angeles, flirting with boys… but it never really got off the ground.”

"Look at me, you behind the camera..."

"Yes, you, there! You're havin' a look at me, are you? Well, let me use my face on you, then. Let me use my eyes on you. Let me get you looking at my mouth and my plummy lips. Oh, yes, you can't look away, can you? And by the way, I'll be having you tonight." Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney wasn't COMPLETELY aware of how he could use his looks to devastating effect if he wanted to tease (or if he wanted to seduce) need just look at this gif. The beautiful little bastard knew EXACTLY what he was doing, knew just how to tilt his head and lower his eyes, knew exactly how to lick his lips to get you looking and then (while you were looking) to blast you with a small knowing smile and a little spark from the eyes at the same time. Like throwing a scud missile of seduction at you. And you'd be slain and yes, he'd have you. Even if you were not at all used to just being with someone because they decided you were on the menu for that night. And yes, he knew how to do it from an early age! Slut!

The Paul is Dead conspiracy would be great for an Identity V character so I drew him as one.

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

We don’t talk enough about this day in June of 1968 where Paul, most likely stoned out of his mind, was tasked with addressing a sales conference attended by the executives from Capitol, and somehow managed to woo them all.
