Paul McCartney: "He (John Lennon) was such a big part of my life (...)" (Staff warning him to redo because a "weird blue flame" appeared.) Paul McCartney: "That was John! Haha! It's him. That's alright, it's ok, leave it in, it was John, he is around, can you see?"
I would listen George Martin for hours why I didn't have a teacher or a professor like him?
The emotion on Paul face while he listens John's voice and then a crazy meltdown. Complete and totally nromal Mccartney's behaviour
1992: George Martin and Paul McCartney listen to the vocal and instrumental tracks for ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’ at the mixing board.
Some things never change
Paul McCartney and his daughter Heather recorded a punk song together, where Heather reads the label of a baby formula can.
Paul has some beautiful eyelashes <3 🌷

You can tell which of the Beatles wrote each song cuz it’s usually like
Paul: I love you I love you I love you I love you (watch out there is a homicidal freak in your area and he IS going to get you).
John: I hate myself and want to die but also I’m on a lot of hard drugs, so that’s cool I guess (I love you too Paul).
George: I’m spiritually enlightened and also I smoke a lot of weed.
Ringo: the ocean. Sea creatures and submarines.
what is the story behind your blogs header photo (if you know it)? i love it and it raises so many more questions than it answers😭 is that john on the ground with paul ?
ahhhhh it's one of my fave beatle photos!!
i don't know if there's a specific story to this night, it just looked really fun. it's them playing at the top ten club in hamburg. i just adore the energy of it though. the way paul and john are singing and playing to each other and just feeding off each other's delight, and it's so much fun that george and stu are also smiling just watching them. it really captures how infectious their joy for playing is. also just the rare occasion when they're not matching, so they really look like any random band, it's very humanising. paul's dressed like an IT guy! he doesn't even have a guitar at this show (i think his broke at some point in hamburg so he was on piano and drums for the rest of their time there), he's just singing! it's very informal in a way.
the composition is so great too. the presiding impression most people have of beatles shows is girls screaming, so it's really cool seeing a couple dancing and completely ignoring them (while being completely ignored back because the beatles are performing for each other). also, if i remember correctly the guy on the bottom right corner is some hamburg ganster, which is really funny. these children are performing to thugs! and having the best time!
the other pics from this night are delightful as well:
