This is not what two Liverpool fellas do, no matter how well you know each other.” I kept thinking, “he’s going to smack me here.” But he didn’t. He just stroked my hand with his thumb and I thought “Ah, this is OK, this is life. It’s tough but it’s lovely. That’s how it is.” I knew George before I knew any of the others and I loved that man. I’m so proud to have known him.” - Paul

“Now and then, I miss you / Now and then, I want you to be there for me / Always to return to me,” (...) It’s a passage where Lennon’s yearning for McCartney intertwines with Paul’s mourning for John, a shared grieving for the partnership that defined both their lives. link
"Now and Then" is 81-year-old Paul McCartney finishing a song of John Lennon, who has been gone for almost 43 years.
But it is also 15-year-old Paul finishing a song of the boy who wandered around Liverpool with him, talking about their future and love of music.
It is 18-year-old Paul finishing a song of the guy who picked him as his partner and took him to play nightclubs in Hamburg.
It is 20-year-old Paul finishing a song of the lad who wanted to write song after song with him.
It is 23-year-old Paul finishing a song of the man he made history with.
It is 24-year-old Paul finishing a song of the soulmate who shared his visions.
It is 26-year-old Paul finishing a song of the person who serenaded him eating a cupcake.
It is 31-year-old Paul finishing a song of John, who loved him in his own way.
And it is 39-year-old Paul finishing a song of the friend he just lost.

"I haven't been to a proper barber for years. George often cuts my hair when we're on the road and Cyn does it when I'm at home." ~ John Lennon
Brian Ray on threads
Q: "Is there a song on your album 'Imagine' that refers to Paul? Lines about a pretty face and the sound of Muzak?"
John Lennon: (smiling) "Er, there's a song which COULD be a statement about Paul. It could be interpreted that way. But then, it could be about an old chick I'd known."
ㅡ John Lennon interview for Alan Smith (Hit Parade), February, 1972.
You could almost be forgiven for thinking “Good Night” was mine, because it’s so soft and melodic and so un-John. I believe John wrote this as a lullaby for Julian, and it was a very beautiful song that Ringo ended up singing to the accompaniment of a big string orchestra. I think John felt it might not be good for his image for him to sing it but it was fabulous to hear him do it, he sang it great. We heard him sing it in order to teach it to Ringo and he sang it very tenderly. John rarely showed his tender side, but my key memories of John are when he was tender, that’s what has remained with me; those moments where he showed himself to be a very generous, loving person. I always cite that song as an example of the John beneath the surface that we only saw occasionally. I think that was what made us love John, otherwise he could be unbearable and he could be quite cruel. Now that I’m older, I realize that his hostility was a cover-up for the vulnerability that he felt, and if you look at his family history it’s easy to see why. But this is an example of that tender side.
Paul McCartney, Many Years from Now
John and Paul during the recording of I’ll Follow The Sun in 1964.
J: I’m playing, baby! Don’t stop me now.
P: Oh, no…
J: I’m not looking at you, am I?
P: You WERE! I know!
J: Well… I can laugh.
P: I know I can’t stop laughing when you’ve got tears(?) in your eyes.
J: Well, I’m laughing over here.
P: I know, but I can see __(?) and everything.
So you mean to tell me that every song in the Gimme Some Truth Deluxe Book is accompanied by commentary on its inception, instruments used and musicians who played on the track and then you get to I Know (I Know) and they decide to forgo all of that and end up just including quotes from John about missing England, Paul, old friends, about trying to talk to each other after not seeing each other and having a hard time signing the Beatles dissolution papers?
The jig is UP.
