George Harrison & John Lennon In Paris, France | 15 January 1964 © Terence Spencer

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

John and Paul during the recording of I’ll Follow The Sun in 1964.

J: I’m playing, baby! Don’t stop me now.

P: Oh, no…

J: I’m not looking at you, am I?

P: You WERE! I know!

J: Well… I can laugh.

P: I know I can’t stop laughing when you’ve got tears(?) in your eyes.

J: Well, I’m laughing over here.

P: I know, but I can see __(?) and everything.

GLOBAL BEATLES DAY | June 25 “They were always original, and that’s thing that came across from beginning to end. These people thought differently from everybody else, and that’s why they made it to the very top.” – Mark Lewisohn

“Now and then, I miss you / Now and then, I want you to be there for me / Always to return to me,” (...) It’s a passage where Lennon’s yearning for McCartney intertwines with Paul’s mourning for John, a shared grieving for the partnership that defined both their lives. link

"Now and Then" is 81-year-old Paul McCartney finishing a song of John Lennon, who has been gone for almost 43 years.

But it is also 15-year-old Paul finishing a song of the boy who wandered around Liverpool with him, talking about their future and love of music.

It is 18-year-old Paul finishing a song of the guy who picked him as his partner and took him to play nightclubs in Hamburg.

It is 20-year-old Paul finishing a song of the lad who wanted to write song after song with him.

It is 23-year-old Paul finishing a song of the man he made history with.

It is 24-year-old Paul finishing a song of the soulmate who shared his visions.

It is 26-year-old Paul finishing a song of the person who serenaded him eating a cupcake.

It is 31-year-old Paul finishing a song of John, who loved him in his own way.

And it is 39-year-old Paul finishing a song of the friend he just lost.

So Paul was fixing John’s tie right as he was about to sing the harmony on “If I Fell”?

Happy birthday Brackets boy!!!

I've been slowly reading Paul McCartney's Lyrics and came up short at the image he doodled in his notebook after the words for one of the last songs the Beatles recorded:

Four hearts linked by the same arrow.

What opportunities did we allow to flow by, feeling like the timing wasn't quite right?

What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm?

Couldn't I have given you a better life?

- This One by Paul McCartney.
