“Paul can be temperamental and moody and difficult to deal with but I know him very well and he me. This means that we compromise on our clash of personalities. He is a great one for not wishing to hear about things, and if he doesn't want to know he switches himself off, settles down in a chair, puts one booted foot across his knee and pretends to read a newspaper, having consciously made his face an impassive mask.
But he has enormous talent and inside he has a great tenderness and great feeling which are sometimes concealed by an angry exterior. I believe that he is the most obviously charming Beatle with strangers, autograph hunters, fans and other artistes. He has a magnificent smile and an eagerness both of which he uses, not for effect, but because he knows they are assets which will bring happiness to those around him.
Paul is very much a world star, very musical, with a voice more melodic than John's and therefore more commercially acceptable. Also, and this is vital to me, he has great loyalty to the other Beatles and to the organisation around him. Therefore, I ignore his moods and hold him in high esteem.
I would not care to lose him as a friend.”
- Brian Epstein on Paul McCartney, A Cellarful Of Noise

i’m just supposed to go on with my life? when John Winston Ono Lennon yearned so much to be with Paul McCartney again that he wrote the line “Now and then / I want you to return to me,”… And Sir James Paul McCartney after 43 years of mourning his partner, a person that knew him better that anyone, change this line to: “Now and then / I want you to be there for me”. In a sort of long distance conversation separated by time. Showing how John wanted Paul to return to him and Paul now only wishes for John to be here with him, by his side, now and during those past 43 years. This also explains why Paul decided to leave out the 2nd verse - the demo is from John’s perspective, the single is from Paul’s.
It is known that Paul and John communicated through songs, even during their beatles days, but mainly during their solo careers. This song feels like the one last conversation. John’s plea to Paul to come back to him is finally answered by 40+ years of grief and love for the man that was his partner since they were teenagers.

understanding lennon mccartney makes me fucking sick because the editing is so brilliant, and all the clips and quotes they use are amazing, but it really shows the insanity of the relationship between john and paul.
like. i’m on the seventies now and john just said “i’m not a homosexual, or we [he and paul] could’ve had a homosexual relationship, and maybe that would’ve satisfied it” WHAT ? my brother in christ be so fucking for real .how are you not only contradicting yourself in the same sentence but also just outright saying THIS
