One of the greatest sentences ever spoken in the world: “He wrote Strawberry Fields so I wrote Penny Lane” 😐
“He wrote Strawberry Fields so I nicked the lilting atmosphere the Kinks had been honing for over a year and wrote Penny Lane." There, Sir Paul: I fixed it for you---with all due competitive respect, of course.
StephaneVorstellung
Are you a musician?
Didn't care for either song....so guess i will keep pondering just how that "sentence" is one of the greatest ever spoken...????
Both on the same single....incredible
Dave Beale the epic contrarian appears 😎
John: "I wish I'd written All My Lovin'" Interviewer: "Why is that?" John: "Because it's a damn good song!"
He did say that??😅😅😅dang!! Any links?
kj 1980 playboy interview
John has given same damn good compliments to paul. I guess they just never say it to one another personally.
Wasn't All My Loving written mostly by John?
@@maksymfresh6274 no. It was a collaboration, but mostly Paul.
Its a bit ironic that today "Here Comes the sun" by George Harrison is one of the most streamed Beatles songs. The talent in that band abounds.
and all the parents who play their music for their kids ... it keeps expanding to each generation. im in my mid 30s now and i still sing along to (nearly) any beatles song that comes on the radio. just timeless.
@@dazem8 i’m a teenager and I love the beatles! My parents played it for me when I was little and I just kept listening haha. It’s crazy how many people still love the beatles even though it’s been quite a while
To be fair, that's most likely due to its appearance on movies etc, and it's probably one of the most "approacheable" songs from the band from a modern standpoint.
Don't get me wrong, it's s very lovely tune, but I honestly wouldn't put it even in a Top 10 Beatles songs, it's not even George's best imo (that'd be either 'Something' or WMGGW by a mile).
I don't think it's ironic at all. George was always the backbone of The Beatles.
@@jbryan8864 I don't believe he was perceived that way at all in their heyday
John and Paul unconsciously pushed each other to reach their peak in song writing. If they had never met I doubt they would have reached that level of song writing.
A bit of that chemistry rubbed off on Harrison. Loved all 4 of them.
🎼🎵🎶🎸
I am certain they would not have , studied the partnership for thirty years and together they lifted each other so much it is hard to overestimate .From notes to lyrics both lifted from the other and apart eventually both were pretty tame truth be told .McCartney wrote the first truly great Beatles lyric with Yesterday but the title came from Lennon , Lennon added a certain variance to their songs which Paul copied .Never Lennon or McCartney always Lennon and McCartney
It is amazing to consider Paul McCartney was 23 when he wrote “Here, There and Everywhere”.
But I think most rock songs and also love poems are written by people near to twenty.
Imagine have a legacy where Yesterday wouldn't even get in my Top 5😨
Not as amazing to think that Brian Wilson was 23 when he wrote, arranged, & composed Pet Sounds (an entire album that inspired McCartney and the Beatles to make Sgt. Peppers)
He was only 16 or 17 when he wrote I'll follow the sun
Yes, it is just that amazing to consider.
John once said in an interview “Hey Jude is another one of Paul’s masterpieces..”
So its not like he didnt like Paul’s stuff, he actually admired them but didnt wanna give too much credit due to pride or whatever. Thats how they were, tough Liverpudlians who rarely gave any compliments.
Good point.
It is not about liverpoolians but a big chunk of humanity indeed.
Polythene Pam nah. complete bs
I began reading it years ago and couldn't believe how they manipulated me. It's actually dangerous to go to that site and spread the bs message around.
*Liverpoolians* i think
It’s funny how he mentions “here there and everywhere” since he always plays that song and he’s been open about that song being his favorite. I wonder if John had something to do with that.
Yes, I think so.
I recently read an article in which he stated that if he had to pick a favorite it would be "Eleanor Rigby "or "Here, There and Everywhere".
He then went on, that "Here, There and Everywhere" is probably his No. 1 because John said that he liked it.
Wholesome rlly :)
100th upvote
I was wondering the same
There is an interview with Lennon where he was asked if he was worried Paul would be successful. He was like of course not, he’s Paul. I am thrilled ringo is doing so well.
ha!!
Yeah Paul is about himself you dont need to compliment that
Was Lennon using heroin at the time?
@@MrChopsticktech I honestly have no idea
There’s was a time when John was asked if he considered Ringo was the best drummer in the country. John’s answer was ‘He’s not even the best drummer in the band!’
John was very much like the older brother to Paul: never praised him openly face to face, but nobody else better ever criticize him.
imagine seeing your "older brother" and his muse starkers on an album cover for all to see.
“Shut up! Paul is talking!”
You are right, the Beatles relationships were very brother-like. Sibling rivalries and clashes but also deep bonds between them which are present but unspoken.
Brain Stormer ~ Yeah,
Another Great Documentary is Called =
“THE WINGED BEATLE”
It’s one of the most important & fascinating documentary’s to come out about the Beatles to date and is a must see for everyone that is a true fan of the Beatles.
You won’t be disappointed !
I believe John Lennon said as much about “ I can criticize the Beatles, but don’t you criticize them .
John, “ Paul was one of the most innovative bass players ever. Paul] is a great musician who plays the bass like few other people can play it.”
Maybe Paul meant he never got complimented directly in private. Then again, Paul tends to make things the way he wants them.
In this video, it seems to be about John and Paul talking with each other about their song writing.
You can't disagree with that. Paul's bass work on many of John's tracks helped define & make them the classics they now are! Instant examples include, Rain, Hey Bulldog, Dear Prudence & Come Together. In the pressured timescale to pen All You Need Is Love, Paul commented to John to the effect, you worry about the lyrics & I'll sort the bass after. Fabulous innovation! 👍
Who cares if he compliments his bass playing skills? John Lennon wasnt a bassist, so it’s completely different. He doesn’t compete with Paul over their bass playing skills, they compete over their songwriting abilities. There’s an ego thing that gets in the way of narcissists complimenting the people they compete with.
And Paul sang while playing great bass! Hard
John had a hard time expressing himself. The only way for him was through his songs. He really wore his heart on his sleeve. He loved Paul and knew his talent. He was a complex guy with issues. I love the multi talented Paul but really miss John. I listened to his stuff everyday. Never gets old, in my opinion!
So then he did know how to express himself. From what l remember in all forms.
What gets me is that John could be so harsh in his criticisms of Paul's songs, often calling them granny music. But he tolerated Yoko's banshee like wailing. Talk about having double standards
@@ruelitocayamanda8162He _tolerated_ Yoko's work, never really praised it, he just jammed along. However with Paul he felt much open enough to criticize him coz as a musician and a writer John respected Paul as much as any of his musical heroes (that's obviously just my inference from reading interviews and books). Knowing what Paul was capable of, I think it irritated John when Paul would get too whimsical or old school with his writing. He held big resentment against Elvis for stopping the whole cool RocknRoll Elvis era and entering into acting in mediocre films and crooning other artists songs like a has-been.
People change, he himself changed a lot but I guess he couldn't accept that with others.
I like the way you phrase this - a complex guy with issues. I think between John's introspective nature and Paul's positive demeanor combined with their song writing talents they came up with some of the best popular music ever recorded.
“Yeah, I would tell him his stuff was great...” he stares off.
I’m sure that John secretly held Paul’s skills in very high esteem but constant praise becomes cheap and I suppose it would damage the constructive rivalry between these two geniuses
Probably. They had to act tough to both write amazing music. There has been times when John complimented Paul and vice versa. They just were never directly to each other
Google global truth project and read "the Present" if you want to learn the truth about life/death in just a few pgs. Nothing is more important than checking it is true
constructive rivalry - very well put
A E true but then again it would depend on what mood he was in or the state of their relationship at that time. He definitely did have massive beef with Paul calling him and his music for sometime but I believe deep down he respected and admired Paul’s songs.
@@AE-bm4no, he was only referring to certain songs. He didn't think every song by Paul was granny music, John wouldn't have shared writings credits with a guy he didn't rate.
Lennon once said he liked the bass line on 'Silly Love Songs'....and Paul's 'Coming Up' inspired John to make his last album.
Jade Martin Silly Love Songs is a great song ♡
Silly Love Songs was Paul' s reply in song to John's and the music critics criticisms that Paul only wrote twee 'love songs'. Like all
Men, Paul and John rarely praised each other openly. However, away from face to face, John did praise a lot of Paul' s songs (e.g. my love; coming up)
John praised Paul's stuff all the time in interviews. He even praised songs he didn't like, he'd say "I would never write a song like that but it's still a damn good song."
OBLADI OBLADA! YOUR SONG IS A RUBBISH PAUL! - JOHN. I want to hear that in a bonus disc on the 50th Anniversary of the White Album
Danny Vine when did John commented on “my love”?
😂the way she said "in how many years?" like it's a marriage and he responded like they were talking about a marriage was so cute.
Paul McCartney is a Bass master and an original. Love his playing and tone. I was listening just last night and was appreciating his talent.
The Helter Skelter bass riff will get yer granny head banging. Nuff said.
Paul McCartney is actually amazing on almost every single instrument. Drums guitar piano even some horns
His bass lines were ridiculously innovative.
@@davefloyd9443John actually played that bass line on a Fender Bass 6.
Would of loved being a fly on the wall watching John and Paul at these sessions.
Would of is apparently taking over the world. Would have, in short would've. It may sound like of but it certainly isn't correct.
Would of is a cancerous tumour
A Liverpudlian fly?
How did this "would of" originate?
Graeme Knowles let it be...naked has a second CD with it called “fly on the wall”
I wish John was still alive. The two really never had an opportunity to sort things out. Yoko didn't help. Ringo won't talk about it, I guess. And George is gone too. He probably didn't want to get in the middle of it. The bottom line is that The Beatles completely and utterly positively impacted an entire generation in a way that's difficult to define, but even our kids and grandkids and great grandkids get "it". They changed the world more than any other artist of our time. They were/are geniuses. They were able to take the simplest melody and make it resonate in our minds indelibly. Their journey from simple drums/base/rhythm/lead guitar to complex orchestrations incorporating every instrument known to humans is what brought every group into the 21st century. Their names will be remembered alongside Bach, Beethoven, Mozart...forever.
bass*
They sorted things out.
@@Michael_Jopling Exactly.
The had ended their dispute and were loving friends again.
And that's what matters.
Yes, John even admitted that Paul was right about Klein, the manager that they hired at the end of their career. Paul was against it, the other 3 were for it. Paul refused to sign the contract to hire him and it caused major friction with John & George. Paul wanted his future father in law to run things but when they had their meeting, they sent his young son to represent them and it didn't fly with John, but he eventually said he wished they would have went in another direction
As Michael Jopling said - they sorted out their differences (in the early 70s). However, George and John didn't. George wrote a book and didn't credit John with the help he gave him on certain songs, and if you read The Playboy Interviews, you can see that John was not impressed.
They balanced each other out. Collectively the definition of synergy. The whole is greater than the parts, which were great to begin with.
Bla bla bla
John gave Paul the greatest compliment. I heard him say in an interview he, John was great at recognizing good character. He felt Paul was talented, kind, trustworthy... An overall great person and he felt drawn to him. That's a pretty good compliment. You both made incredible... Loved wing as well.. Thank you for brightening my life with you live of music and incredible effort to it! Also lived seeing 18 semis cross the USA for your tours in recent years.. You are just amazing.
Band on the run!
Wow..I am AMAZED that Paul continues to answer the SAME exact questions in nearly every interview, with grace, about his relationship with John. The questions never change, never...
Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 an was replaced by William. This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
Paul seems truly pained as he briefly contemplates his answer to the compliment question. Somehow, he’s managed to remain genuine, sensitive....very human. I mean he’s Paul McCartney.
This is a good point. So he was probably normal for what three years of his life? Since that moment she is one of the most famous human beings to ever walk the earth and yet you still see His humanity. Kind of like watching interviews of World War II soldiers that experienced things we only see in movies. These lived experiences will be gone soon it’s amazing to be able to connect to them
Ghoul Cat He could be
It seems!👌
Indeed. Many have forgotten who this old man is now. In his late teens was revolutionizing music. You and me? We'd chase girls, get a first job, go to college. This dude? Couldn't walk outside!! He couldn't leave his house! Anywhere he went was mobs of girls! Hold my hand, please please me, love me do. There was a phenomena happening in music and He aslong w Elvis....were changing music. Bo more beach boys! It was ROCK AND ROLL!!! The Beatles CHANGED MUSIC. 3.5 of them were legit artists that you can study today. They were not fills or easy music to play either! To write a hit.....is a singer/son writers dream. This guy does it like you and I take a poop! It just oozes from him! To me. A music fan. One who can be moved by music or for fun research flat picking or chicken picking....just because it's interesting.....but to me...and I argue w the wife that Paul McCartney was more of an impact than Michael Jackson. It's a tough argument with a lot of variables....To me Paul is a living legend. A true piece of history. We should sit him down and get a long days long interview on what it was like what he remembers. When he knew just how big a deal they were. Something to think about...
Although I love the Beatles I don't think so. I think McCartney is a man who hide his feelings and thoughts, I watched so many video of him but I can't say I've ever seen the real Paul except on Get Back former let it be when they asked him for John and Yoko. He says he can't do a lot, freedom, it's ok, it's his life blah blah but he eventually turns silent, his eyes get wet.
Their symbiotic brilliance was astounding... All of them together were brilliant... What a magical time it was to be a teenager...
I love this.The relationship between these two fantastic artists is like a symphony in itself. Highs and lows, bridges and crescendos.
Beautiful Boy made Paul cry
That video is incredibly hard to watch. The closest I think we've ever seen Paul to bursting into tears.
Yeah...and Lennon couldn't see it...I really hope both of them realised back then that the other one was loving and respecting each others work...unlike it would be a real shame
One of Lennons finest songs
@@robinpreese it probably sounds odd? Paul has always been my favorite Beatle? But John's always been my favorite solo beatle
I think Paul said in an interview Beautiful boy was the best song of that year
I'm just grateful these two amazing people got together for 10 years, to give us such wonderful songs.
Bjorn and Benny have been writing off and on for 54 years now.
@@jeffreymcfadden9403 No, no they haven't.
@@jeffreymcfadden9403 “Bjorn and Benny” - who d’fuk? 😆
John said Paul is his best friend on an interview. I dont know what better compliment he can give.
I always wonder if he's sick of talk about a period of his life that happened 50 years ago. Every interview people only ask about the beatles
Probably but at the same time it’s what keeps him a very wealthy man lol
@@dwad3ify He's a billionaire, he wants for nothing and hasn't for many decades... Yes the Beatles were an amazing band, revolutionary and will forever be known and admired.. Paul was 28 when the Beatles officially broke up, but they really hadn't been a band for awhile by that point.
I'm sure he takes all the Beatles questions in stride as it was obviously what launched him into fame and wealth, but he also had a great solo career as well. He's just a natural born musician and he's been able to help many many disadvantaged people around the world with his philanthropy
And why are the press always so bemused that John and Paul had disagreements - every person on Earth falls out with their friends and workmates sometimes.
He stated on Smartless podcast that he separates "that guy" from who he is to make it easier sometimes.
Yeah, like Einstein must have got bored with talking about relativity. Óh geez, still harking on about that epoch defining moment in my life which wrote me into the history books....?
Paul remembers John liked "here, there and everywhere" up to this day, that's so sweet 😇😍❤✌
This looked like a cool interview. What a phenomenon the Beatles were. I grew up with them in the sixties and I still can’t get over what an experience it was. Fantastic.
John gave a back handed compliment in the lyrics of his Imagine album when he said in anger that Yesterday was only thing you ever did.
“Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see”……
Great line in a beautiful song 🎵
The Beatles are still the gold standard for Rock n Roll bands.
Always have been always will be, the Beatle's didn't set the bar,they were the bar?
Not still, ever. Even the Rolling Stones borrowed music from Muddy Waters, Beatles were the most original band
Elton John may have came after but I like Elton better
Boo
@@PleasureLarkHolbrook Christ almighty.
Lennon & McCartney will be remembered in the same way as Beethoven and Mozart, totally timeless compositions.
Bjorn and Benny are not chopped liver.
Yes they are in their league
There is no comparison to Lennon and McCartney to the master classical composers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries because number one they are universes apart in style and number two neither Lennon or McCartney had the ability to understand music theory or composition, nor could they arrange or conduct music. They had the sublime George Martin to do all the musical heavy lifting for them. I get really irked when people say that Lennon and McCartney are the Beethoven and Mozart of their generation. Nothing could be further from the truth.
No.
250 yrs is a long time. It won’t be mainstream!
I’ve missed hearing John’s music and thoughts as he grew old. What a terrible loss. So glad we have the wonderful Sir Paul’s reflections!
The most gracious celebrity, the most pleasant to watch being interviewed; he went out of his way to share his experience, which for any songwriter/artist meant the universe. He never failed. Beautiful human being and so talented.
John called Hey Jude “another one of Paul’s masterpieces”. Say no more...nudge nudge
I saw that interview, it sounded from him more like expressing his annoyed admission of his rival strong points than a compliment.
Billy Shears love ❤️ that song
580patriot did Paul pray The Rosary?
Bryan Garten
He was raised in the Church of England tradition apparently.
that's sarcasm; john actually hated "hey jude"
Truly the finest, multi skilled, socially aware, creative, talented and emotionally intelligent band of all time.
Errrr, Coldplay?!!
@@dickmonkey-king1271 Coldplay have some great albums but in comparison to the Beatles….
@@dickmonkey-king1271 damn beat me to it, i was going to say Oasis
I love that John complimented Here There and Everywhere in particular. That’s my favorite Paul song, and I originally thought John had written it based on its vibe
Interestingly, George stated on a few occasions that Paul never appreciated nor complimented his contributions.
It's like everyone forgot about him and the Beatles were just Paul and John. Oh and Ringo was there.
George had a lot of insecurity issues in that band.
@@tisdue - It wasn't easy being the guy who played in between Lennon & McCartney. George's songwriting skills took a bit longer to develop than the other two, but once he got going he realized it didn't matter since L & M were never going to give him more than 2 songs per album. That's why All Things Must Pass was a triple album. It was all the stuff George was never going to get on a Beatles record.
Paul actually came out & said George's songs weren't as good, & George was deeply resentful for a long time. But he just kept writing & stashing away songs & got sweet revenge after the Beatles broke up when his solo album All Things Must Pass outsold the McCartney and Lennon solo efforts.
@@ajcarr1965 Lennon said pretty much the same.
He said something like, “George got writing lessons from 2 of the best songwriters in music,” and that he never gauged George’s music abilities but considered them inferior to his and Paul’s.
They were born in Liverpool in the 40s. Did they compliment each other? Lol
At the time and place it would have been dangerously embarrassing.
Funny that here there and everywhere is Paul's favourite song he's written
That's why you can't really trust Paul when he says John told him he liked something. He could be saying it to silence his critics or to promote what he wants to promote.
@@watermelonlalala Paul's got nothing to prove to anyone tho....
Could be possible that he remembers it more fondly because John praised it.
But She's Leaving Home is better. And HT& E is a masterpiece. Better than Egypt Station crap!!
My favourite of his is For No one. The whole thing is a masterpiece of song writing. Says so much in such a short time.
Amazing how good these two boys were for each other.........some of the greatest music ever written........love the honesty.
I love the Beatles' honesty. Almost as much as their music.
I seem to remember John saying he wished he'd written All My Loving...so there's another compliment I'd say.
true, but they have it over the fact of gibving compliments right in his face. not in interviews or such ;-)
olmose yes indeed. Good song
Y'know, make the vocals more nasally and it would be a fine Lennon recording. Melodically and lyrically It's very similar to John songs at the time. But "while I'm away...I'll write home every day" doesn't really seem like something John would say or do.
What Paul meant was Lennon only complimented him face to face once but would always compliment each other in interviews. Lennon loved Hey Jude, All My Loving, And I Love Her, he says he liked Yesterday but not in a way where he wished it was his, Here There and Everywhere, Coming Up (Paul's solo career, people who knew Lennon well said it was this song what got John back in the studio as it was so catchy and it looked like Paul was having a lot of fun), the list goes on. John would never say he liked them face to face but in interviews he said he loved Paul's Bass playing and said that Paul wasn't confident in himself in that area and always spoke about how talented Paul was (obviously after they became friends again)
One of the few times Paul has been not only caught off guard on a question but offered a painfully honest answer as well. He’s such an old pro at answering the same old questions w same old answers this is refreshing. If not face to face, which is fascinating and I take Paul on his word here, John would often compliment Paul however in interviews and as a grown man shortly before his death.
Lennon was no joke, my favorite songwriter of all time. McCartney is/was incredible too!
That’s why the BEATLES were so fantastic!!!!
George Harrison wrote great songs, as well
@@ElvarMasson Dont forget about octopus garden 😂
@@ffahrulchaniago 🤣 Good old Ringo 🥁
Bla bla bla
If I remember right, one of John's favorite songs by Paul was For No One. I have to agree, brilliant song.
Bla bla bla
From his Beatles days until he’s 80 something years, I still shout “I LOVE PAUL!”
Take care of yourself, Paul. We love you. Thanks for all the beautiful music you've shared!
I'm 61 and been a Beatles fan since l was 5. Just incredible talent, not been a band since never will be.
That walking Bass line in All My Lovin' is the hook, but John's triplettes on the guitar is the cherry on top !
And neither of them probably ever gave Harrison a compliment even though he was just as talented a writer
Especially around 1969...had they deleted 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' from the album and replaced it with a George Harrison gem the album would be even more sensational than it is now....'What Is Life', 'Run of the Mill', All Things Must Pass, Awaiting on you All to name just four and to think one of those could have been on the last album they recorded together.
John complimented George for "Something" and probably several other Harrison songs.
While he wrote lot less of the lyrics the guitar is all George and he did get his songs on the unofficial releases that got bigger. I think dolls house has three of his songs on it.
Both Paul and John agreed that “Something” was the best song off of Abby Road, so I guess they complimented him there.
Saw in an interview, how in the end George got his revenge on Paul. Before George was with the Wilburys, Paul came to him suggesting they write some songs togather for an album. George's response was--and he was angry about it--"where were you back in the day?"
Paul has won, he survived the madness of rock n’ roll.
Did he though!...........
You can tell this man knows more about life than a lot of us, and still so humble! What a legend.
Paul is the nice guy , i heard Lennon was abusive..i like both their music
About life? wtf you think because he was successful he knows more about life? He has definitely lived many things and many, many things that no one has lived but there are many ways to live a life and none of them are THE life it is simply a way of living. You are confused my friend.
Paul's memory is selective. It's well-known that Paul wasn't sure about the line 'the movement you need is on your shoulder' in 'Hey Jude', but when he asked John whether or not he should change it, John told him 'you won't, you know... that's the best line in the song' (from 'The Beatles Anthology'), and later calling the song 'one of Paul's masterpieces'.
Like come on dude, the guy is almost 80 and you are asking him to remember stuff from literally 50-60 years ago.
Only so much someone can remember.
Also he's talking about direct compliments.... on the moment
I don't get it why so many Lennon fans go crazy about this interview. Paul didn't said anything bad about Lennon here.
He said Lennon paid compliment once (in his face), not to the press or other interview i presume.
Regardless it's true or not, we may never know.
But even if it's true that John only paid compliment once, there is nothing bad about that. It's show how they are striving to be competitive and progress in a positive way.
I strongly suspect that you guys will found even more something bad to say about Paul if Paul said Lennon compliment him many times. If Paul said that, you guys will tell :
"See.. Paul is so full of himself that he said Lennon praised him many times, See Paul try to made him is the better writer, etc, etc...."
Knock it off... I don't see Paul talk remotely bad about Lennon. He just describe the competitive nature of songwriting process between them both, and it's positive for both of them.
Jeez... don't wet your pants. I cannot see where anyone has written anything bad about Paul's comment. They are simply reminding him of the many occasions where Johnny made a positive comment about one of Paul's songs. That's what happens on social media.
@@KebabMusicLtd
At the time i wrote this, i seen plenty of it, it's now been burried down by many more positive comment. But i assure you it's there, and quite many to bug me a little.
Here some of it down below from about 2 months ago, around the same time you post it.
*"Something wrong with him,when it came to John. Really comes off cold!"*
Or this one, just a month ago :
rmc rmc 1 month ago
*Ol Faul McCartney...* I love his storys they always make so much sense lol..and
such detail lol...john complimented him the whole time up untile fall of 1966
2 of the maybe greatest songwriters of the 20th century in same band. Plus George who wrote some fantastic songs on his own. That’s what makes them the phenomenon they are.
all the parents who play their music for their kids ... it keeps expanding to each generation. im in my mid 30s now and i still sing along to (nearly) any beatles song that comes on the radio. just timeless.
One compliment in thirty something years!? More than I've ever gotten.
You must be married.
Great post! ;)
Literally seeing and hearing Paul tell stories bring my soul so much warmth and comfort. A god among men.
In an interview John was asked what his favorite beatles song was and his answer was “here there and evereywhere” .
I love these Paul interviews.
This single interview really proves that Paul is alive! He remembered every moment with John!
But he crossed the street without shoes on!
He didn't remember all the times John complimented Paul.
Here There and Everywhere has been one of my fave Beatle songs since I first heard it. Same with Strawberry Fields.
In My Life is my favorite Beatle Song
Yes it is so much deeper and profound than McCartney's "Yesterday". I like both songs but "In My Life" is a better song, note for note.
Something is incredible as well
That's my favorite song by them I think. Here there and everywhere.
I'd tell Paul, if he's around, John complimented him on his Double Fantasy album by referencing Paul's band, Wings, and two solo Paul songs I presume John liked, Another Day and My Love in his lyric to Starting Over. That's a quiet homage 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.
Lennon and McCartney are a better duo than lungs and air, the Beatles are the greatest band of all time, R.I.P John And George 🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
KTS yah no.....sorry. They were the first boy band.
@@Dave-kz3uk That's exactly a lawyer talking about astrophysics... hahahahahahaha
Is this an Australian program, right? I saw a documentary tape about Bob Marley from 1978, seems they had been successful since they still here.
This show is "60 Minutes," and it is a US program produced by CBS News. "60 Minutes" is a long-running program and celebrities (such as Paul McCartney) are frequent subjects. Although the show is produced by CBS News, it runs in a regular prime-time entertainment slot, so it has to be entertaining.
Bob ripped off Paul with No woman, No cry...
i watch and cry to this video every day
Such a short clip! I was hooked and wanted to hear more!
The anti paul slant is real...considering how people with half his fame for half the amount of time have disappointed, Paul has nothing left to prove to anyone. His songs are treasures for people to discover generation after generation. To remain relevant in this information age is amazing and further cements his immortal status.
You want this to be true so Bad
come on folks they loved each other. Paul was visibly elated at the compliment given by John..somehow , throughout so many interviews, one could see that paul still takes John as his big brother semi consciously, and he HAS NEVER said anything bad about John, NEVER !
Oh, please. That's why, when told of John's death, he said "It's a drag. " like nothing
@@wms72 that's called "shock"
He didn't want to give the press what they wanted. It's obvious.
The fact that John never praised him was probably responsible for his drive. I guess we should be grateful for that , as it resulted in some amazing and unforgettable songs.
What I love about the Beatles is how 4 people inspired each other, played off each other whether unknowingly at the time but it’s evident.
It's not pathetic that you look back to the memory with praise.
I think John and Paul’s best hookup was “She’s Leaving Home” even though no Beatle played a instrument when it was recorded. A absolutely beautiful haunting mesmerizing song. The two of them at the top of their game. Just my two pesos.
That was a deep song and to think they were so young when they wrote it.
Great, great song and also, very underrated. So sad to see it being left out of the discourse. It deserves more love and attention!
Love these stories about John and Paul.
Loved the docu on Disney channel !!!! Great to see how they came up with their music!!!!! Don't have a favorite loved them all!!!!!!
Children, behave! You're not in 6th grade anymore. you can like both Paul and John now. Lennon was caustic. He probably never praised Paul's work to his face. He was older than Paul, and saw himself as the leader of the group and it"s understandable. Later, to the press Lennon both praised and disparaged Paul. And even in song: remember - "The only thing you wrote was "Yesterday", ...."
So if he said that then Paul never died. Yesterday was recorded in 1965.
John said in a later interview he regretted making that song
While I mostly agree with you, Paul said in this interview that John Lennon complimented him for writing "Here, There, Everywhere" to his face. Also, the other Beatles were writing angry songs about each other as well, John was just the most straightforward about it. Much of Paul's album RAM is filled with disparaging references to John and the band. George Harrison wrote I Me Mine before the Beatles even broke up and the whole band knew what it was about.
Yes, you can see in the film, "Let It Be", Paul being rather harsh with George in the studio. George was the youngest, the kid, of the group, and you can see Paul treating him the same way Paul says in this interview that John treated him (Paul) I once read that "I, Me, Mine" was the last song that The Beatles ever recorded. I wonder if Paul was present at any of the sessions for that particular track. (By this time they were so fragmented - I've read that only John and Paul were present during the recording of "The Ballad of John and Yoko".)
The recording sessions for I Me Mine were attended by George, Paul & Ringo in early 1970, John having already left the group in mid-'69, before the release of Abbey Road. The next time McCartney, Harrison & Starr would record together was in 1994, for John's Free as a Bird.
I heard John complimented Paul on the lyrics of Band on the Run. He though the words "the rain exploded with a mighty crash" were brilliant.
Most likely John was impressed with the complete line, "Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun", which does sound cool.
‘i’ve remembered it until this day, it’s pathetic isn’t it’
no it isn’t paul 🥺🥺🥺
When you consider how hard these two were on each other's work, you begin to understand why it took George so long to get a track on the B side of any album.
Bla bla bla
interesting point.. thanks for sharing
Brothers ...where high praise is “hmm, not bad”
Here's a compliment: "Let it be" is a Beautiful song 😊😍👌
I cozkguublxxbu hohohr Tyrrhenian tree that red used to
Did Paul write Let it be?
@@donnateet1120 Yes, he did!
@@elizabethgalligan1805 hey I only ask a question why are you so mad? SMH
McCartneys so effervescent forthcoming and warm simple and gentlemanly and also remains true to his roots and grounded amazing human being and life wow a revel to watch and admire him reflect on another mammoth legend
John was very complimentary about Paul’s talents despite his obvious insecurity which is normal in a bunch of rock stars in their early 20s. In fact it’s amazing they stayed together so long
They didn't need to give each other compliments all the time. They had a job to do , knew each others worth and just got on with it.
Here there and everywhere even though Billy Shepherd never wrote the song it was Paul McCartney
Paul tells the story of when he first played Hey Jude to John and was apologetic about the line "the movement you need is on your shoulder" and suggests he'll change it, to which John told him not too because it's the best bit. That's a Paul story, so John gave him a bit more praise than he remembers here.
Didn't know that but cool for believe the growing professional chemistry / friendship/love was always there.🌐🙏
If you believe it was only once, you’re mad. I’ve heard John compliment Paul more than that, as a fan born in 1987.
Born seven years after John's passing; in a seance?
@@JudgeJulieLit Are you joking or are you that thick
@@JudgeJulieLit Trying to be funny? You know there are hundreds of interviews and recordings.
The Beatles are still the gold standard for Rock n Roll bands.
I love your music. The Beatles, and in later bands, they made excellent and interesting music. Thanks guys.
Once. Two titan talents....and the one time still resonates.
I saw an interview where he said he was playing Hey Jude on the piano and Lennon was listening. He got to the part where it says "The movement you need is on your shoulder.." he stopped and said it was no good and he was going to change it and Lennon exclaimed! "What are you talking about! It's the best line in the song!"
Well at least the movement he needed wasn't in his bowels.
Brooke , yes although it seemed for a while Paul would repeat this same story exactly the same way over and over, after a while it was like, so anything else happen Paul?
I agree with his original assessment, it’s not one of the song’s better lines and I would have changed it as well. Lennon loved being the contrarian in everything - if Paul had praised the line, Lennon would have likely told him to can it...
Lennon liked it coz it was inspired by his son Julian apparently so why wouldn't he. By the way what happened to his son. The name Lennon didn't help him in show biz never opened any doors. Figures. Same with McCartneys son what happened to him his surname was no advantage to him. They didn't realise a little talent is needed as well as a name.
I’m so glad they had the competitive spirit! It certainly worked!
When Paul was singing a beautiful Love Ballad for the Audience and everyone was clapping and John says to the Audience... Yes that is the way Paul is!!! Meaning that he knows Paul... And Paul's way is a very Romantic type of Guy... It was a Compliment. Like Paul is the Romantic Beatle... He said it with a big smile on his Face. He was proud of Paul back then. Especially that night.
They both admired each other, Lennon said he treats Paul like his brother. Just to show that yeah they might have complications on the late stages on their Beatles Carreer, but they still will be The Beatles
He actually praised Paul several times in interviews. One well known one being in the Playboy interview I think it was where he said "there are only two artists I've ever worked with for more than one night stands, as it were. And that's Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney. I think that's a pretty damn good choice."
to be put at her level would not be a compliment indeed but only in Lennon's point of view...
