#mclennon feels

[johnmccharmly]

Do you think Paul remembers John? i mean really remembers him? The Beatles must seem like another life to him. Your thoughts? Thanks.

In shorter words, yes.

I 1000% believe Paul remembers John, and that at his older age, the memories and playbacks of his surreal life are all hitting now, which would equal Johnny...

Seeing Paul mention and include John more heavily in his shows really warms my heart, now that he has done it all, and life is cooling down, he can really take a step back and see his life and everyone in it for how it and they truly were. I'm wondering if it is all hitting now how special that connection with John really was... because it was just that, special.

I mean we can even look back through the years and remember how Paul would end up creating painting of John, without intending to, it would just happen... That is to me what real love is, and something like that can never be forgotten.

The bond and John Lennon and Paul McCartney will forever be the greatest love story (platonic) of the 20th century... and for me personally, the greatest love story in musical history. That connection is otherworldly and remains unmatched to this day.

by "real" use whatever criteria you think appropriate. "i think they had feelings for each other but never acted on it" "they had a casual thing/situationship" "they were together but broke up" "they were secretly married in canada and have 6 kids together and their wives are beards". or maybe "they gave each other handjobs but platonically or something" or "one-sided unreciprocated feelings" wouldn't count as "real" by your judgement.

feel free to say your ship/opinions if you reblog. or dont idc im not your mom.

#like for example my main rpf ship is obvs mclennon and i would consider myself a tinhat insofar as that i think there was mutual feelings #involved though i'm conflicted on whether they acted on it or not #but most rpf-y stuff im into in any way is just for jokes #like i wouldnt say i actually think jam reiderson fucked yknow

I'm sure he'd prefer to be alive but there’s also no way that john lennon wouldn’t be a at least a little self-satisfied with the idea of his death permanently making him the center of paul’s universe. he doesn't seem like the "you need to let me go" type. he seems more like the "if you don't cry over me at least once a week I'm going to start flickering the lights on and off until you have a seizure" type

#death is not the end (of their their bizarre possessive codependent relationship) #i would feel rude for making light of death if i didn't know how actively weird paul is about it #i would fully believe that he's attempted to write songs with john using a ouija board #tell me im wrong #this post applies regardless of the nature of the relationship but im still tagging it #mclennon #the beatles #john lennon

“Some people think John was speaking directly to me [in Now and Then]. And you know what? That is very nice to think about, so I’ll stick with that interpretation.”

— Paul McCartney about being the inspiration for Now and Then to Brazilian journalist Pedro Bial (Dec. 01, 2023) (translated from portuguese version of the interview)

#the video of him saying this hasn’t come out yet so i had to translate from the translation #but. i had to show this to you guys #how are we feeling. #he thinks it’s a very nice thing to think about #i don’t even know what to add #j&p #now and then #mclennon #beatles

“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.

#yeah sorry #long ass post #I am really deep in my feels about the song coming out #and now we know there'll be a music video with unseen footage #I'm just not ready #I don't mean to negate Ringo's and George's contribution with this but I really feel this song is mainly Paul trying to fix something #now and then #john lennon #paul mccartney #the beatles #john and paul #mclennon

Types of Beatles songs:

The Supplicant Begging for the Adoration of an Anonymous Girl. "I love you girl, baby girl, let me hold you, touch you, dance with you, I would literally do anything just to have once chance to breathe the same air as you."

Look at this odd little man. "Look at him he is so odd and lonely, he is so strange and silly. He is probably depressed too, but you won't figure that part out until you're much older."

We listened to little Richard growing up. Paul or John is literally just shredding his vocal chords with feral sexual energy. Makes your pussy wet.

Have you guys heard of drugs? Ooooooh, there's probably a sitar in here, or maybe a strange sound effect you've never heard before. John is probably using a voice echo effect. There is probably jibberish in the lyrics somewhere. John probably wrote this one.

What if we just sang into eachother’s mouth’s? The lead instrument here is harmony. HARMONY! most of this song is HARMONY. Three colliding voices you can never decide which part to sing along to!!!!

The most beautiful song you've ever heard in 1 minute or less. Probably just John or Paul with a guitar singing about the most simple theme of all time but it's gut wrenchingly beautiful. You're probably crying.

George Martin popped off. Who knew strings and classical instruments could rock this hard? You will probably walk down the isle to one of these, and if you're not married, you've fanaticized about yourself walking down the isle to one of these.

Storytime! Time to tell a weird little story!

The weirdest thing you’ve ever heard

I love how ridiculously warm John would feel about the fact that Paul still loves him so much and sings with him at concerts and wanted to finish another song with him after all this time, and I love how John would kind of just feel it all behind his beautiful face, looking down, trying to be nonchalant about it.

The way that Paul loves John, so absolute and steady. The way that John didn't feel loveable like that, but craved it, but didn't recognise or trust it, and the way it was there and real anyway despite him. I don't know. I like that Paul is so relentless in loving him.

#I just like that nobody else matters one bit in any of this #and everyone's out there having feelings and thoughts #about a new song and what we feel about it and whether it's good and whether it's necessary #but it's just Paul loving John and loving George and loving Ringo and having them to himself again one last time #and it's a lot #and nobody else matters at all #now and then #(this has been in drafts for a long time #a bit sappy #I wrote it when we found out they were definitely making it #posting it now anyway.) #it's actually ridiculous that love exists #mclennon #[]

"hey how are things"

my brain: when Paul McCartney turned 80 did he think about how he'd lived twice as long as John Lennon did he mourn the fact that he'd lived two of John's lifetimes and only one of them had included John and only for a little more than half the time and two years before that it was the 40th anniversary of John's death he's been dead longer than he lived and that was 2020 and was Paul alone with his family on his farm thinking about this is it in McCartney ||| is that the Deep Deep Feeling did he get married on John's birthday because it's just too painful to think this way

me: yeah, good

analysing mclennon feels like being an academic and pouring over historical texts and connecting the dots between passages because you basically are doing exactly that

#if old white guys can come up with their own beatles theories and write books and be taken seriously in an academic space… #then so should we #i trust beatles tumblr users opinions infinitely more than the opinions of 87% of music journalists out there #ppl will complain about beatles rpf fans cherry-picking evidence as if music journalists aren’t 100x worse abt doing just that #anyway i just really love mclennon lore and finding sources to support our theories #feels like putting my half-finished history degree to good (questionable) use #also enjoy that mclennon genuinely just feels very different to basically any other rpf ship #the beatles #paul mccartney #john lennon #mclennon #beatles rpf

I’ve been trying to find confirmation of this but I haven’t ever been able to. Was Paul actually hurt when John turned him away when he showed up at fhe Dakota with a guitar? i can’t tell sometimes what’s fanfiction or real life. Thanks.

We will never know the full truth to this, I have heard many sides...

One being Paul went to check on him, seeing as John "disappeared" from public eye, wouldn't take any phone calls, and never left the walls of the Dakota. Many of John's friend were incredibly concerned for him and curious as to why he was "wasting his talent away" in the prison of Yoko Ono. That is a strong statement I am aware, however I do believe the story of Yoko mentally abusing him, and controlling every aspect of his life, to the point he became her pet that she took endless money from. John as we know was not the strongest mentally, and Yoko knew that, she knew he needed Paul, and with that knowledge she turned John further against him, blocking all his calls, and did nothing to help John come out of his depressive state...

Another side, John’s side, is that Paul showing up unannounced really flustered him seeing that he had a family and baby to take care of, and dilly dally playing around on guitars just was not possible anymore. I believe he said something along the lines of “this isn’t liverpool anymore”, meaning that they weren’t kids who could show up out of the blue and play any longer... Though I see John’s point, I feel it goes much deeper than this. I feel the John Lennon we all know and love would jump at the opportunity to play with his one time bestfriend, I feel that whoever answered the door that day, was not the John Paul has known and loved for oh so many years. He was simply not himself, and Paul knew that...

I am sure Paul was aware of how far John was gone mentally, and when he was turned away by him, It had to have been hard... However Paul knew John, better than anyone else had or ever will, he had to have known that Johnny was not doing well and that being turned down was just a result of just that. I hurt for John during those years living in the Dakota, he was not well, and anyone that actually knew him could tell you that, but the only person who had full access to him was Yoko. The control she had was disgusting, and I can only wish John had been strong enough to stand up to her and take his life in his own hands. A part of him had to have yearned to play with Paul again that day, just like the old days, just like their days in Paul's bedroom back in Liverpool... In a perfect world some would say...

So yes, I do think Paul was hurt, obviously being turned away by the person that once knew your every move and thought, and you him, would feel like a knife through the heart... but again there had to have been some understanding, and sadness for John on Paul's end... John was not the John he knew and loved, and Paul must have seen that.

I apologize for the lengthy answer to such a simple question, this topic just opens the door to many happenings at the time... I can only wish they got to do that one more studio session that was planned before Johnny passed... in another lifetime my friends<3

my apologies for the terrible editing or whatever but Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney are the same people sometimes and I'm going to make that everyone's problem.

“It seemed John and Paul could compose anywhere. They would wander over to the piano, sit down, and start playing, taking no notice of what was going on around them. Here in their George V Hotel suite they were composing “I Feel Fine.” George and Ringo wandered over and started to join in. It was fascinating to watch how intense they were while creating a song.” – Harry Benson, 1964

There is no one left alive who has known and loved John Lennon longer than Paul McCartney. Show me another cosmic soulmate pairing who are still openly pining for one another in song 43 years after one of them died and more than 66 years after they met. They are THE definition of eternal twin flames and I’ll never get over it.

Biggest Beatles mystery is not whether John and Paul or Paul and George actually fucked but why John Lennon apparently “climbed a refrigerator” during and interview and what that means

#and how #I mean I’ve never tried it but I feel like one could pull over a refrigerator #at least an adult man could #the beatles #john lennon #mclennon
