Can I Clear Up My Myth About The Cassette Before I Died Plz

I think the last line is, ‘Now we will start as friends’. Which makes sense, as I always heard the song as a reply to Dear Friend. It’s the same tempo, the same melancholic tone and he answers the question, ‘Is it really true?’ with the opening line, ‘You know it’s true’. I was always a bit on the fence with McLennon, but I think the line, ‘I’m still in love with you’ settles it actually. It’s official now, and in the end, they let John say it to the world, which seems fitting.

Thank you! „we will start as friends“ hinting to "Dear Friend" is really interesting! There are quite a lot of years between the songs, but I can clearly see the conversation in the lyrics: Dear friend, what's the time? Is this really the border line? And if I make it through  It's all because of you

Does it really mean so much to you? Are you afraid, or is it true? I know it’s true it’s all because of you (I'm still in love with you)

Dear friend, throw the wine I'm in love with a friend of mine If we must start again well we will know for sure that I love you (that we will start as friends)

Are you a fool, or is it true? Are you afraid, or is it true? I don't wanna lose you, oh no  Abuse you or confuse you 

so nobody’s gonna talk about how when john and yoko had an explosive fight in the early 70s about if he was still allowed to act like a beatle sometimes or not (john arguing that he had to, especially if he wanted to play with the others!! and yoko arguing that it wasn’t artistic enough) and it was so emotional that he crushed his glasses and then chose to run away and where did he run to?? PARIS FRANCE!!!!! john lennon missed being a beatle and wanted to play with his beatles again, was even looking forward to playing with paul, and yoko wouldn’t let him, so he went to paris. PARIS. in this essay i will

“The Beatles is over but John, Paul, George and Ringo, God knows what relationship they’ll have in the future, I don’t know. You know, but they still, I still love those guys. Because they’ll always be those people that were that part of my life.”

.. so this is basically what happened in my canon

Waiting for John to get back so they can carry on recording Think For Yourself. Begins with George Martin explaining a ‘booboo’ he made on the tapes.

George Martin: *explains* George Harrison: Ah, naughty. John? Paul: John love? George Martin: Jonathan, what are you doing? Someone: He’s just - where - is he messing behind the - I’ll get him.

“In May 1964, they shared their first screen kiss in a BBC TV special, performing a scene from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s the kind of video nugget that fans like me used to shell out stupid bootleg money for; now it’s one click away for anyone with a phone. It’s bracing to see how mirthfully they act out the Pyramus and Thisbe scene. Paul is the boy; John plays the boy playing the girl, in a dress and a blond wig. (…) John and Paul rave about how pretty they both are—“ these lily lips, that cherry nose!”— and snuggle up for the death scene”

Note: in the video, they really don’t kiss… but i sure wish they had. Ha!Anyway, you can see the video here. Many thanks to @pivoinesque @vairemelde and @amoralto for helping me with a couple of questions I had about this quote. Apparently, in theatre, when a man and a woman touched palms it was considered a kiss. But what Rob probably meant with “their first kiss” was just a lyrical play of words. So, many thanks to those three blogs for helping me out with this.
