You can literally hear Paul struggling not to mention John in the Silly Love Songs episode of the podcast and yet he still mentions him several times including in talking about MARTHA…. The way he said John warmed up to me when I played with Martha like… you can tell the other Paul was like.. he wat?… wat does that mean mate?… the obsession was really apparent…

Also Paul trying to say John was a cat man… “john was a cat…… guy.. he loved his cats”… just the pause after him saying john was a cat!… he was a cat you’re so right paul.

I can’t believe there’s a whole book devoted to Paul McCartney not explaining his lyrics.

#paul mccartney #the lyrics #this song is about no one and nothing in particular #just a general vibe ya know #could be anyone #let me tell you this unrelated anecdote about John

I picked up a copy of The Lyrics at my local bookstore the other day, and I’m reading the page about Let Me Roll It when-

and like the whole passage is insane (yeah hm i wonder who you might have a hard time revealing feelings to paul in this self-admittedly inspired by john song 🤔)

but HELLO UNPROMPTED BE MORE CHILL REFERENCE???? YOU’RE TELLING ME PAUL FUCKING MCCARTNEY KNOWS WHAT BE MORE CHILL IS???? DO YOU THINK HE SHIPS BOYF RIENDS—

#i’ve never been teleported back to middle school so fast in my life #that gave me some insane fucking whiplash i was all in like ah yes you’re in love with john ok and then just- out of nowhere????#bmc reference??? in my paul mccartney book??? it’s more likely than you think #john lennon #paul mccartney #the beatles #mclennon #john and paul #be more chill #boyf riends #and like obviously bro does not know what boyf riends even is but it’s funny to think about #he’s on ao3 reading bmc slash ✋💀#the lyrics #let me roll it #wings

paul, 1969: hmmmm why is being in this band right now making my life such a nightmare hellscape. surely it couldn’t be any of the unresolved conflicts i have with my band mates or my own actions. maybe it’s because im being Cursed By God.

I’m taking it like hozier wrote the song ‘too sweet’ for zolu, hmh hmh.

“I think I'll take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me , You're too sweet for me

You know you're bright as the morning As soft as the rain Pretty as a vine As sweet as a grape If you can sit in a barrel Maybe I'll wait Until that day.”

Paul discussing Eleanor Rigby and then turning it into the story of how he met John 🤦

Seriously, this is section of Eleanor Rigby in Paul's book The Lyrics. He is supoosed to be explaining the backstory of the song, and he instead spends more than half the chapter recounting how he met John.

We fight every night for something

When the sun sets, we're both the same

Half in the shadows

Half burned in flame

We can't look back for nothing

Take what you need, say your goodbyes

I gave you everything

And it's a beautiful crime

Beautiful Crime by Tamer

A subgenre of the blues I really like is the ‘woman, you done me wrong’ song. I don’t know whether all these bad things could really have happened to all these blues players. It does seem that there are an awful lot of wrongdoing women out there. I suspect there might be a few wrongdoing men too!

...

I was plugging into that system of imagery when I wrote, ‘I met her at the bottom of a well’. I thought that was a more interesting image than, say, ‘I met her on Bourbon Street’ or ‘I met her in a brothel in Paris’. I like to be direct but not necessarily literal.

Paul talking about Oh Woman, Oh Why in The Lyrics (emphasis mine)

#i didn't know that Ride All Night was originally a section of Oh Woman Oh Why #oh woman oh why #ram era #the lyrics #wrongdoing men #paris

I love Paul getting his little complaints about Stuart’s bass playing out in the Michelle lyrics episode … it’s not too perfectionist to ask for someone to be able to play the bass ehem ehem 💅🏻

I don’t think I’ve ever heard paul talk about when he froze up playing his guitar solo I’ve only read about it so I enjoyed that.

Also season finale next week 😩

The ONLY lyrical insight Paul provides into the song Coming Up in his book is re the phrase ‘coming up.’ He points out ‘coming’ has a sexual connotation. Then he goes on about how John liked it. And how when he was in New York he would ring John up and say (I quote) “Do you fancy a cup of tea?”

meet me in the woods is still undefeated imo

#esp if you listen to love like ghosts then this and then follow it up with the night we met #my sould vibrates #it's also very jon sims/the archivist coded #and i fucking love it #the magnus archives #a plug for it too #but honestly strange trails is such an album #lord huron #the transitions #the lyrics #the overarching narrative #ugh #it's perfection #there ain't language for the things i've seen vs there ain't language for the things I feel #like fuck offfffffffff #meet me in the woods
