“I was pretty lucky on the LSD front, in that it didn’t screw things up too badly. There was a scary element to it, of course. The really scary element was that when you wanted it to stop, it wouldn’t. You’d say, ‘Okay, that’s enough, party’s over,’ and it would say, ‘No it isn’t.’ So you would have to go to bed seeing things.
Around that time, when I closed my eyes, instead of there being blackness there was a little blue hole. It was as if something needed patching. I always had the feeling that if I could go up to it and look through, there would be an answer. Now, I could go on about how the wordplay in Bing Crosby’s song ‘Please’ – ‘Oh, Please / Lend your little ear to my pleas’ – might be informing the wordplay in ‘And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong I’m right / Where I belong’. The fact is that the most important influence here was not even the metaphysical idea of a hole, which I mentioned earlier, but this absolutely physical phenomenon – something that first appeared after I took acid. I still see it occasionally, and I know exactly what it is. I know exactly what size it is.”
— Paul McCartney on “Fixing a Hole”, The Lyrics
watching old beatles interviews is so funny because paul will be talking and here comes john tickling his back or smacking his head or touching his thigh or fingering him like relax brother no one's taking him from you
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.
okay i'm high as fuck right now and have been rewinding Paul saying "What's the matter John, love, Blue Meanies?" at the end of Yellow Submarine over and over. also right after the way they make direct eye contact and paul instantly breaks after seeing johns face...
Paul & Linda McCartney at a party with Ringo & Maureen Starkey, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono, the party was for "The Magic Christian", May 4th, 1969.
❝ She was a very fun person to be with, very amusing and very witty. She had a great take on life, and of course she was very artistic. There wasn't a lot of sadness about her at all. She was an upbeat lady. ❞
- Paul McCartney talking about Linda.

suggestive warning (uncropped version below)
'Tightrope' - The Greatest Showman soundtrack
'Far Longer Than Forever' - The Swan Princess soundtrack

After much consideration, I felt that these three songs send me into a coma more so than the others in my playlist!
Felt like sharing :))
