"The thing you must remember is that I'm the number one John Lennon fan. I love him to this day and I always did love him." - Paul McCartney

Woah. Just noticed the ‘dear friend’ line from John’s 1970 brutal song God (“I don’t believe in Beatles

Followed up on by Paul’s 1971 ‘Dear Friend’

Now and Then handwritten lyrics

that last part (never included in the demo)

"Remember when

we thought our life had ended

the gods had been offended

then we started again as friends

now we start again as friends

somehow we start again as friends"

(the doodle) (the phone number)

you know how being songwriting partners is like marriage and songwriting is like sex and making an album is like being pregnant and songs are like your children. i don't even have anything to add to this it's just like. ok! yeah! what more can any of us do with this? you said it, man. sure!

People were reblogging this like it applies to other people. No, listen. This is about a specific guy. One guy in particular said all of this. This isn’t me romanticising music - Paul McCartney is mpreging himself with songs. He literally said this. He songwriting married John Lennon and then they had songwriting sex together in John’s attic which Paul called “Daddy’s Room.” Do you understand? I am barely even paraphrasing the words that came out of his mouth. This isn’t about the art of creation, it’s about inventing a pseudo-marriage with your best friend when you are 15 because it’s the 1950s and you’re repressed and British and they haven’t invented bisexuality yet and this is the only way you can have sex with him and have his babies, and then you spend the rest of your life Saying Things instead of admitting you think your friend’s hands are sexy and you want to suck his fingers. But you do still call his hands beautiful. You say this with words that are in the bible. And by you I mean just this one (1) guy (Paul McCartney) who did in fact say this about the guy he wrote songs with (John Lennon). It was a specific instance of these words coming into existence from the vocal cords of Sir Paul McCartney. No one else said all of this.
