Propheticstar - For A Prophesy

The Beatles arrive back in London from Paris, 5th February 1964 - part two (part one)

00:03 - Yes, John and Paul kiss. Paul:“To say about the girls that you….do”

00:25 - They kiss again. John, in a sexy voice: “Alright Paul, come along now..”

00:58 - John whispers : “McCartney”

01:13 - John: “Now, give us a kiss! ha ha!” “Mmm” “Ok..” “That might be an idea…”

and don’t try to tell me these aren’t kisses ‘cause I won’t believe you anyway.

Paul McCartney and George Martin in Get Back, January 1969 Paul McCartney and George Martin recording Tug Of War, March 1982

The Beatles during their Netherlands TV Appearance in 1964, singing "All My Loving". This video was beautifully restored by Carter, I pasted the original audio on it when I noticed John mouthing something to Paul mid performance. All I can hear John saying is "already, babe" as his answer to Paul's "hope that my dreams will come true".

“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.

Candid style photos of the boys during their Paris shows in January 1964. These photos, taken by Harry Benson, are studio prints originally owned by John Lennon and given/sold to ‘Bernard Brown’ (which I think could be Peter Brown?) when John moved to New York. They’re up for auction next week.
