We hear ad nauseam about Paul and George’s “fight” during Let It Be/Get Back but nowhere near enough about their beautiful tender exchanges like this one:
G: They sell boots that high, but not that tight, and not particularly leather, maybe softer. Groovy ones like, you know those Afghan coats, they’re embroidered, I’ve got boots like that, but the slippers, the slippers feel at home. And it is great, you just tuck your pants in.
P: You want boots of those? Yeah, I’ve got boots of them.
G: You know where you get them?
P: Yeah, you get them off me (gentle laughter).
I’ll give you them, I’ll never wear them.
G: Do you want to hear the song I wrote last night?
It’s just a very short one, called I Me Mine.
P: Yes
this gif brings me a really strong sense of joy that i can’t quite describe

JOHN: But I think you—
PAUL: You have—
JOHN: I feel it’s you.
PAUL: Whatever it is, you have. Yeah, I know. Well, I’ve had [inaudible]—
JOHN: Because you – ’cause you’ve suddenly got it all, you see.
PAUL: Mm.
JOHN: I know that, because of the way I am, like when we were in Mendips, like I said, “Do you like me?” or whatever it is. I’ve always – uh, played that one.
PAUL: [laughs nervously] Yes.
Get Back session, January 1969
An overheard dialogue between John and Paul just after John and Yoko had first slept together and recorded Two Virgins in May 1968.
‘Do you hate me?’ John asked repeatedly. ‘I’m crazy, you know.’
'No, I don’t hate you.’ McCartney spoke with his face partly averted from Lennon’s rapt gaze.
'Aren’t you pissed at me now, Paul? Not even a little bit?’
'I’m very proud of you.’
John eased off. 'Maybe I won’t split.’
McCartney, by Christopher Standford
Y’ALL WHY IS JOHN ALWAYS ASKING PAUL THIS, IT BREAKS MY HEART.
AND NOW IM THINKING ABOUT JOHN’S LYRIC “I WAS FEELING INSECURE, YOU MIGHT NOT LOVE ME ANYMORE.” This is too much.
society has forgotten just how hot paul was in his 20s. if i was john i would have a hard on at all times
