““I Know For A Fact Paul Returned To Liverpool A Few Nights After This A Few Nights Before The Vigils

so if the lyrics of Now and Then were started to write in pre 1975...Would it lose something special about mclennon.im not for sure but im a little upset truly🥲

I mean...the phrase"Now and Then" in pre 1975 maybe couldn't relate to Paul directly.

Also the"for Paul"analysis.Sean claimed that John didn't write it on original cassette.thus what Paul got wasn't the original tape but a copied and the handwriting couldn't be John's?

It is really confusing and im gonna crack

August, 1980: John talks to Playboy writer David Sheff about ‘If I Fell’.

JOHN: That’s my first attempt at a – at a ballad. Proper. That was the precursor to ‘In My Life’. It’s the same chord sequence as ‘In My Life’, but – just about ‘round D, and B minor, and E minor, those kind of – things. And uh, it’s… semi-autobiographical, but not that conscious, you know. It’s really about – it’s not about Cyn, my first wife. If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true… I used to like intros like they had on forties songs, you know, that have a long intro, and then the song would start. So that’s all mine. The harmony’s Paul’s. […] So that shows that I wrote sentimental love ballads – silly love songs, as you call them – way back when.

John + Paul in Adelaide, being possibly the most in sync I’ve ever seen them

“At the beginning it was very hard, knowing that we were going in there to do this track with him. It was pretty emotional. He wasn’t there. I loved John. We had to imagine he’d just gone for a cup of tea, that he’s gone on holiday but he’s still here. That’s the only way I could get through it.”

Did you know?

John Lennon marked almost every page of a biographical pamphlet about The Beatles, called The Beatles From Apple, with corrections and comments in 1971. 

In an entry noting Paul and Linda’s wedding, John crossed out the word “wedding” and written “funeral” in it’s place. Normal stuff. 

Who never called their best friend’s wedding a funeral when they were mad at each other, right? Awww…

sorry but why is this comment making me go insane rn
