John and I didn’t speak a lot about losing our mothers, but we knew what each other was going through. It pulled us together a lot. Being teenagers, we laughed our way through it. We didn’t want to talk about it much. We knew that we each needed to have fun. We each needed to do something that would get us away from this tragedy. So, we would try to write songs.Paul McCartney The irony was that Paul’s mother had died of breast cancer when he was 14. My mother would feed him when he came down with John. Then when he went, she’d go, “That poor boy’s lost his mother.” And then my mother did die. It gave John and Paul an almost inseparable bond. They really came to rely on each other. They grew into each other’s pockets, I would say. From my point of view, looking at it later, it cemented their friendship in a very deep way.Julia Baird, John Lennon’s sister           Nowhere Boy (2009) dir. Sam Taylor-Wood

She’s Leaving Home [Isolated Vocals]

“Even at this late date, there were still three more songs to be recorded, starting with Paul’s gentle “She’s Leaving Home.” […]

There were still two available tracks on the multitrack tape, but Paul felt strongly that he wanted certain lines doubletracked, and he also wanted the strings to remain in stereo. The only solution was to have them sing their vocals at the same time, recording each pass on a single track. […] 

The lights in the studio were turned off to set the mood; the sole source of illumination was a table lamp next to the wall. The two Beatles, lifelong friends and collaborators, sat on high stools, facing each other, studying each other’s lips intently for phrasing. Watching them, I remember thinking that John’s and Paul’s voices were so different yet so perfectly complemented each other’s, just like their personalities and approach to music-making.” — Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles, Geoff Emerick
