Ian Leslie's favorite songs that remind him of John + Paul ❤️❤️❤️
He has Jealous Guy and (Just Like) Starting Over on the list! That is huge! Those songs are both very important to the McLennon story. This is amazing. According to Paul, John told him that he wrote Jealous Guy because of the way he had treated Paul. It was a song of love, asking for forgiveness. (Just Like) Starting Over is also for Paul from John. As far as I know Paul has never talked about this, but his old Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, said that after John died, Paul locked himself in his studio, bawling and playing that song over and over. It obviously means a great deal to him.
One very important song that's missing is the collaboration between Paul and Carl Perkins, My Old Friend. The lyrics came to Carl, almost out of nowhere, and they reminded Paul so much of John that he started crying and excused himself. Carl felt bad but Linda reassured him that Paul finding an outlet for his emotions was exactly what he needed.
(Hopefully I didn't get any facts wrong. I'm having trouble finding everything I'm looking for tonight, to double check.)
