"My thing with love and Louis is that the last person that Louis told that he loves, walked off a roof, immediately after. So, saying, 'I love you,' is a really big deal for him. It's not just about withholding. The most meaninful moment in Louis' human existence was what happened to Paul, or what Paul did. What preceded that was, 'I love you.' He feels it, but he doesn't necessarily say it." - Jacob Anderson
Paul never failing to mention John unprompted once again…
PM.com: Unbelievably, 1974 was the first year since 1963 that you hadn't released an album – either with The Beatles, with Wings or solo. Did you have a chance at this time to step back and look at your body of work and appreciate it? Is that the reason you played some Beatles songs in the One Hand Clapping sessions?
Paul: Yeah, I think once we had the success with Wings, I felt that I could do any songs I wanted and obviously that included Beatles songs. Promoters had been asking me to do that for years! I'd been saying, “No, this is Wings, we don’t do Beatles songs.” So yeah, once we had our own individual success with Wings, then I felt we could do a bit of the Beatles stuff, and it was nice. I enjoy going back into that stuff now. I feel like I can pretty much do anything that I like the feel of.
In the past I would always shy away from ‘John songs’, and I still do some extent, and do the ones that I took lead vocal on in the band instead. But sometimes now I'll do ‘the John song’ where he took the lead vocal, and people seem to enjoy it. I'll have to start doing ‘Imagine’!
You Gave Me The Answer - One Hand Clapping special, 19th June 2024
can't get over how much jacob sounds like pilot louis in this scene. louder, more expressive, more movement, more humor. he has a light-hearted dinner table of family members to joke around with again, a lover he doesn't have to walk around on eggshells with, a daughter who's never been happier and it's like he finally feels like himself. "will he get out the door with that BIIIIIIIIG head?"
