[PAUL: It’s like… we have to get back, we’re on our way home.

JOHN: Yeah.

PAUL: There’s a story…there’s another one  “don’t let me down”  “Oh!darling, I’ll never let you down” Like we’re…..

JOHN: It’s like we’re lovers

PAUL:  Yeah

JOHN: we’ll just have to camp it up for those two]

Two great things happening here:

1. Paul admitting that ‘two of us’ ‘don’t let me down’ and ‘oh darling’ is about them.

2. John confirming it and adding how the songs make them look like lovers.

OH!DARLING

TWO OF US

DON’T LET ME DOWN

CONFIRMED MCLENNON SONGS BY JOHN LENNON AND PAUL MCCARTNEY

GOODNIGHT

I watched Help! For the first time recently, it was a lot of fun, but my feelings are kinda mixed on it, considering how they used Hinduism in the film, and played into a lot of racist tropes towards Indians :/

yeah. they didn't even attempt to hide it. old media (and current media if we’re being honest, but they've just gotten better at hiding it) mocked/insulted cultures/races so much. they wouldn't even hide it. it was in kids cartoons, commercials, everything. even the monkees show had bits against mexicans, asians, and indians too with racist stereotypes. racist stereotypes have been around forever and it just keeps carrying over to other generations. sigh.

it’s just ignorance on the film makers part. i don't think the beatles were really involved in the making of the plot (not that i know of, at least), and they were stoned for basically the whole movie so they didn't give a shit. and to be honest, even if they were involved and sober i still don't think they'd see anything wrong with the film at the time. because it wouldn't affect them or hurt them/their culture. because a lot of people are ignorant to these racist tropes that they've deemed normal because they've seen it/heard it all their lives from media and their peers. 

help! is a decent movie (except ringo’s hair deserves jail time) and it’s a good laugh. it’s a fun movie. it’s okay to enjoy it but it’s important to understand the undertones it kind of had. and to acknowledge it.

“Hey Ringo, there’s one thing that I’ve not said, I’ll play my guitar with you till I drop dead.”

[Hey Ringo, lyrics from an unreleased/unrecorded song by George. From the new I, Me, Mine: The Extended Edition]

We’re all queer.

Journalist: “To bring up another topic that’s shocking to some, how do you feel about the homosexual problem?” GEORGE: “Oh yeah, well, we’re all homosexuals, too.” RINGO: “Yeah, we’re all queer.” PAUL: “But don’t tell anyone.”

Beatles discuss business sometime in early 1969 (John is offscreen to the right I’m pretty sure) 

“anytime is paradise when i’m with you” ahshhshdh y’allllll 

couldn’t figure out how to reblog with audio but this post just made me remember that one short part from the oh! darling anthology 3 ver. 🥺 PAUL: well, well darling… JOHN: darling… PAUL: please believe me. JOHN: please believe me. PAUL: i’ll never, i’ll never do you… JOHN: do you no harm! PAUL: i’ll never do you no harm, darling. believe me when i tell you… JOHN: oh i do! PAUL: i’ll never do you…no harm.

I've always wondered about the Key West incident. "We ended up crying – about, you know, how wonderful we were, and how much we loved each other, even though we’d never said anything". Does that we only refer to John and Paul or to the four Beatles ?

Actually, he has changed version quite a few times. But the official one is that it was just him and John, because this story comes from the song “Here Today” (song he wrote for John) and the line “What about the night we cried”:

“WE WERE IN KEY WEST IN 1964. WE WERE DUE TO FLY INTO JACKSONVILLE, IN FLORIDA, AND DO A CONCERT THERE, BUT WE’D BEEN DIVERTED BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE. WE STAYED THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO EXCEPT, LIKE, DRINK. I REMEMBER DRINKING WAY TOO MUCH, AND HAVING ONE OF THOSE TALKING-TO-THE-TOILET BOWL EVENINGS. IT WAS DURING THAT NIGHT, WHEN WE’D ALL STAYED UP WAY TOO LATE, AND WE GOT SO PISSED THAT WE ENDED UP CRYING - ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WONDERFUL WE WERE, AND HOW MUCH WE LOVED EACH OTHER, EVEN THOUGH WE’D NEVER SAID ANYTHING. IT WAS A GOOD ONE: YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A NORTHERN MAN.“

— Paul explaining the line “What about the night we cried?” from Here Today (Source: Guardian Unlimited, 2004)

This is from an interview on Daily Mail:

“THAT WAS IN KEY WEST, WHEN A CONCERT HAD BEEN POSTPONED, BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE IN FLORIDA. AND SO WE HAD TO HIDE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND ENDED UP IN THIS LITTLE HOTEL SUITE TOGETHER.‘ONE NIGHT, WE GOT PRETTY DRUNK AND ARGUED AND LAUGHED, AND IT ENDED UP US BOTH CRYING, BECAUSE IT WAS, YOU KNOW AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR DRUNKENNESS, WHEN YOU’RE ALL, “HEY MAN, I LOVE YOU, MAN. NO, I LOVE YOU, MAN.”’‘THAT WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME WE JUST GOT THAT KIND OF INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER"

This is from an interview in 2011 with Terry Gross:

MR. MCCARTNEY: I seem to remember we had some time off in Key West, Florida, and it was because there was a hurricane, and we’d been diverted, I think, from Jacksonville.So we had to spend a night or two in Key West, is where we ended up, anyway. And at that age, with that much time on our hands, we really didn’t know what to do with it except get drunk.And so that was what we did. And we stayed up all night talking, talking, talking like it was going out of style. And at some point early in the morning, I think we must have touched on some points that were really emotional, and we ended up crying, which was very unusual for us, because we - members of a band and young guys, we didn’t do that kind of thing. So I always remembered it as a sort of important emotional landmark.GROSS: Do you remember what you were talking about that led to that?MR. MCCARTNEY: Probably our mothers dying, because John and I shared that experience. My mother died when I was about 14, and his died shortly after - about a year or so after, I think. So this was a great bond John and I always had.We both knew the pain of it, and we both knew that we had to put on a brave face because we were sort of teenage guys, and you didn’t talk about that kind of thing where we came from.

Once or maybe twice I’ve heard this story by Paul in which he has randomly added George or Ringo too. But I’m 100% sure it was just him and John. Don’t ask me why he does that, it’s the same “We loved john” story (when Paul has to say he loves John he never says “I” he always adds random people like George Harrison and says “We all loved John”)

He probably doesn’t want the scene to be too intimate, dear god he has a serious problem with showing affection toward John in public.

let’s not glorify &/or stay silent about the beatlemaniacs in the 1960s that stalked the beatles, clawed at/got grabby with them when they walked by, physically harmed any of their wives out of petty jealousy, broke security rules to see/touch them, etc.

it’s not a testiment to how great the band was; it’s a testiment to how harmful fandom culture can be to celebrities. it doesn’t matter how much they “loved” the beatles; it’s not an excuse to harass people.

December 8th, 1970: John adjudges his own accountability for the things he says or has said.

JOHN: We all say a lot of things that we don’t know what we’re talking about. I’m probably doing it now, I don’t know what I said. See, everybody takes you up on the words you said in 19— I’m just a guy who people ask what about things. I blab off, and some of it makes sense, some of it’s bullshit, some of it’s lies and some of it’s… God knows what I’m saying, you know? I felt it, you see. So when I felt it, it was like I was crucified. So I know what they’re talking about now.

I love how the whole Beatles Fandom agrees that the Cartoon was pretty horrible yet we also all desperatly want a reboot at the same time

lesbians love and support our trans sisters 💖💖

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

Reblog if you agree.

your relationship doesn’t have to be toxic to be a bad one. it can be unfulfilling, exhausting, loveless. and someone doesn’t have to be terrible to you for you to leave them. if you aren’t primarily happy in your relationship, you have a valid reason to not be in it. don’t beat yourself up because your situation “could be worse.” if it isn’t what you want, you don’t have to stay in it.

if you have ever suffered from…  

• depression 

• anxiety 

• eating disorder 

• self-harm

• ocd 

• bipolar 

• feelings of guilt and hopelessness 

• suicidal thoughts 

can you please reblog to show support for people who also suffer. you are not alone.

Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide. 

baby 🥺
