that means a lot - the beatles // the lyrics, 2021 // yvonne’s the one - 10cc // however absurd - paul mccartney // road - paul mccartney // interview for the adam buxton podcast, 2020 // emma, 1815
the fact that john’s august 1980 demo of (just like) starting over had the lines:
“the time has come the walrus said
for you and me to stay in bed again
it’ll be just like starting over”
which in the final version of the song (recorded in october 1980) was changed to the section we all know is a clear reference to paul:
“it’s time to spread our wings and fly
don’t let another day go by, my love
it’ll be just like starting over”
yeah there’s no heterosexual explanation for that. especially since ‘another day’ was one of the songs referenced about paul in how do you sleep?. and absolutely mad that allegedly paul and john were making plans to record together in december of 1980 that got pushed back to the new year - which, if true, they likely were already speaking (excitedly) about these plans by october 1980. not to mention that john himself said that the song was written with his old friends from the 60s in mind….
The Beatles on the rooftop 🏗
I really know now because George didn’t want go on the rooftop!
A small rant
I still don't understand why so many people believe that it was one-sided on John's part. Paul is the one who has said the most insane things about John, even more than the other way around: "He was a delicous boy, a delicious broth of a boy", "I came to love his beery breath. And I loved John", "When I saw him I thought "He looks good, I wouldn't mind being in a group with him", "John had beautiful hands", "In the film [Get Back], there he is in a massive close-up. I can study everything about him", "I'm often thinking of him. I dream of him" , "If I'm going to see a face in a a painting, it's highly likely to be John's", "I would hug him forever because that's the depth of my feeling for him", "Here Today is a love song to John", "He is always there in my being...in my soul", "It's cute for me to think of me and John squeezed together in a little single bed". Not to mention the fact that he has a calendar with photos of John, a 6 FOOT TALL picture of him and John, buys and collects drawings and writings made by John and puts them on his wall, and even GOT MARRIED on John's birthday. There must be a reason why he was called "John's princess".
INSANE
Runevsky and Alina - dance scene part 2
absolutely unbearable to be around me while listening to let ‘em in by wings because i WILL be pausing every two seconds to explain all the references to who’s who in the lyrics. how will i cope without explaining that there are like four different references to john in it? no one knows because i have yet to keep my mouth shut.
💥✨️
yes i’ve never been a man in the 1960s but surely if i was and my friend started randomly wearing a pin that said ‘sword swallower’ with basically all of his outfits, i would have some suspicions abt his sexuality, right? …. RIGHT???
Anyway you mean to tell me RAM didn’t smash all charts when it released? That’s so insane because it’s SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM like DUDE, just Admiral Halsey, Smile Away and Monkberry Moon Delight would make it a fucking masterpiece just by average, but LITERALLY every track is incredible like… how the fuck did people not go positively CRAZY about this album?????
1970s-1990s critics of paul mccartney are so funny in retrospect its like.
paul mccartney is too musically diverse and its a bad thing, actually . why is paul mccartney so relentlessly inventive . there goes paul mccartney again, trying something new and fresh and not settling into the same sound! how uncool. musical creativity is inauthentic, actually. why are his melodies good? what is he, a POP singer ?? isn't it suspicious that he is just So Pretty. his eyelashes are too long, clear signs of a vapid manipulator. also here are some dick words. INFERTILE. IMPOTENT haha. ha. amirite. so not rock.... pls get back together w john.....
glasses
tooootally not self inserting into john
what the fuck IS john lennon's religious trauma though.
In which John Lennon without glasses is blind as a bat and needs Paul to direct him where to go.
Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.
And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.
It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.
I put together a crack team to figure out what was going on with one JW. Lennon. Here are their findings.
I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."
the dislike of the beatles towards yoko ono is really.... how fake avant-gardists look when a real weirdo comes at them
this makes me so embarassed for him i want to hide in a dark hole
take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.
I’m in a really good place right now. Not emotionally, just vibing in the transition between Mr. Kite and I Want You (She’s So Heavy) on Love.
Paul: here’s the thing. I wouldn't have to be a control freak if other people would just do things correctly in the first place. pretty simple if you ask me

this post does not support intentionally hurting people. but people who have hurt others in the past and have changed or are trying to change/in the process of changing are more than welcome here.
happy (belated?) birthday to beloved @big-barn-bed. the second i saw it was your birthday god herself gave me a mission to pick out paul's most whorish moments for you to enjoy ❤️
Absolutely feral that the casettes Lennon recorded before he passed titled "For Paul (McCartney)", not knowing whether he'll ever give it to him or if it will ever be discovered, contain demos of songs that literally said
"And now and then, if we must start again, we will know for sure that I will love you"
and
"if I make it through, It's all because of you"
and
"Can we really live without each other? Where did we lose the touch that seemed to mean so much?"
and
"Seems that all I really was doing, was waiting for you"
and
"Now and then, I miss you - I want you to be there for me, always to return to me"
and
"It's real love, it's real"
