- BIG NEWS! Hi there Beatle fans, Mark here. As of this week I will be uploading 2 videos per week until January the 10th 2022. Then I'll be uploading videos and my new podcast here to this channel, I'll also be opening the podcast on Spotify with some extras!!! Later next week I'll be uploading my first video in my new studio so you can all see what I look like and get familiar with me, I feel like as Beatlemaniacs we're all part of the same family. The main Beatle Stories channel was terminated in April due to copyright issues with YokoOnoOfficial. Only today was I told that that channel will not be coming back 🤷♂️.
I'll be uploading every single video and interview with the lads I have over the next 2 years so I won't be able to monetize my channel. It's taken time to buy a new computer and rearrange a bedroom into a Beatles decorated studio, add that to how long I've waited for UA-cam and YokoOnoOfficial and you'll understand why I've been away for so long.
You will absolutely love what's coming, we're going to go through every single day in Beatles history, every song, we're going to cover anything and everything to do with The Beatles 🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️
Stay tuned!

Any donations would be extremely appreciated. I will try to give you the best Beatles related content on UA-cam but after being very ill for 2020 and half of this year I'm having to start again. We had 75,000 subscribers so losing that channel just depressed me, it took 4 years to build that channel and I was genuinely heartbroken. I really missed coming and talking to you all about The Beatles every night so please understand - I was utterly exhausted mentally, it really hurt.

*BEATLES BIBLE WAS HERE*
I see you Beatles Bible, Sir/ma'am 👀. I enjoy your channel, you're very good at what you do. Very informative 🙏
i love that when paul is talking about the Cavern and the old days, he's only talking about 6 years ago.
That is an insane thought. It could be closer to 8, but it’s still absolutely nuts.
7
Deep Cavern, eleven years technically
"I didn't know the tune - because I can't read music - so I just made my own." Perfect little McCartney moment.
He "wrote" his album of classical music by humming the melody to George Martin, who notated it into music.
“Your new manager, Allen Klein.” Silence from Paul.
First "like" 👆 in 8 months. So funny, lol
Paul was against hiring him.
The other three were for it.
@@Winterstick549 That was why Paul was silent 🤫 and history proved that he was right. Even John and George admitted in later recorded interviews that they should have listened to Paul.
Allen D’klein
You must be imagining that silence.
Unbelievable to me that Paul McCartney in 1969, after writing some of the most iconic songs ever, casually explains “cause I can’t read music”. 🎶. Just raw talent.
Now if only he learned how to read he'd be even better!
@@ericdovigi7927
Then maybe not. I know some jazz and classical musicians that can mad sight read…yet can’t come up with a decent melody or write a song.
@@dadduorp well maybe he wouldn't be better, but his life would at least be a lot easier
None of the 4 could read or write music. That's always amazed me too.
I don't mean to sound snobby, but I've never understood the glorification of musical illiteracy. On the one hand, you don't need to be able to read or write music at all to be able to do what they did. On the other hand, musical literacy would only have helped them communicate their ideas more efficiently.
Every "y'kno" gives me energy to keep going
That’s good, y’kno?
I kno, y’kno 🤙🏼
Good drinking game y’kno
I love how Yoko claimed to not at all ever heard of the Beatles. Yet she showed up at the “cute one’s” house first and then she went to meet John.
Y' know.
Abbey Road is a master class album. Here Comes the Sun, Come Together, She's So Heavy, etc. Priceless
Yes, and it's timeless. 200 years from now, Abbey Road will still be a master class album in much the same way classical musicians still today study Mozart 230 years after his death.
I couldnt disagree more..... if compared with other bands, maybe. Compared to other Beatles joints, it was lazy, half finished, lacked real cohesion etc... Id even go so far as to call it scatter-brained. Yet, its still better than 99% of the shit every other band put out before or since, but thats how high the bar was for a Beatles album.
Indeed a master.
My favourite Beatles album
Is there a better medley anywhere? With two of the greatest voices in rock? I don't mind, little stories linked together with amazing music and vocals.
Abbey Road is the Beatles at their most mature. It's the Beatles making Beatles music, very meta, very good. It blows my mind
The Abbey Road medley is the greatest piece of music ever recorded in my opinion :)
So hard to believe he was just 27. He sounds more wise and mature than most men of that age. Plus he had achieved so much by this time already. The Beatles really did achieve more in those short 8 years than most people do in a lifetime.
I once read that geniuses peak at 27. I think with Sir Paul McCartney that's very debatable :)
Debatable? That's exactly where he peaked.@@Beatlestories
I just realised, at this time he is so aware and sharp. He was on it and that's why his music was on it.
‘Just’ 27? In the 1960s, most men left school at 15 to start working and had long been settled down with wives and children by age 27!!
I love Paul even though I’m a big John fan. There’s a seriousness, maturity and honesty that is refreshing. He was asked good questions and he actually answered them directly and said something worth listening to. It’s amazing too that they turned chance opportunities, like a sit-down at the piano or noticing a poster, and made songs like Golden Slumbers and Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite. Geniuses who had some humility.
In all the John interviews I've heard when asked his favourite songs on albums he rarely references Pauls songs, which is interesting.
@@stevewillson9218 he liked a lot of Paul's songs very much... like...cant buy me love...all my loving....i saw her standing there....things we said today....fool on the hill...for no one.. hey Jude...here there and everywhere...got to get you into my life...fixing a hole...oh darling....get back...coming up...
@@senseichess8688 yup what he said
@@stevewillson9218 Well, that was John.
He couldn't admit it publicly
i cant believe im able to listen to this, more than 50 years later. this is amazing
Yeah. It's a rarity and a genuine pleasure to hear
Why? You can listen to radio shows from the 30's.
Lol @ the interviewer thinking that the phrases “turn me on” and “blow my mind” were ‘passé’ for 1969. Paul’s answer was perfect and it turns out those phrases have both been present in the vernacular ever since. One of them even has an emoji 🤯
Yes I got a bit pissed at the interviewer for saying that..a fashionable poseur.. which Paul answers perfectly..and you rightly point out are now part of the vocabulary..so Paul had the last laugh
Day in the life has turn me on in it's lyric. From sgt pepper
Let's not forget Paul's 'Oh, Darling', a great rocker on Side 1.
One of the most underrated songs I think.
Paul's vocals on Oh Darling are ridiculously good, underrated track indeed, even Lennon said he genuinely liked that one.
that tune reversed we hear "In Me lives He'. Billy letting us know the truth.
In my opinion the first heavy metal song his vocals are so heavy
Excellent interview. Interesting how Paul points out John and George’s songs and the side 2 medley as his favorites. John pointed out his own and Something as his favorites in another interview.
And disliked the medley I should have added...
I think the medley is the greatest piece of music The Beatles ever recorded. I don't know whether it's age but as a kid I was into the early pre-peppers stuff, for the last 30 years I've said Revolver is the greatest album ever, and now I just play Abbey Road and the White Album. Everytime I listen to Abbey Road I discover something new, it's weird. John is quoted as saying "The Beatles best work was never recorded" (in fact I'll upload that soon) but I find that very hard to believe. That Get back documentary is just amazing, the way Paul writes that song is unexplainable.
@@Beatlestories that’s just John being John. He also told George Martin he would re-record every song he did. I don’t believe it for a second. He’s just saying shit for the sake of saying it. He has a bad habit of that…..just like me 😜
So they all agreed on which were the best. 😉
@@wornyodelrecords You’re putting words into Paul’s mouth. He merely said “I LIKE” this one and “I LIKE” that one. He never said they were the BEST. He gave a personal opinion. That’s all. He’s fully aware that everyone has their own favourites.
Interesting Paul says John wanted to do concerts, but he did not. Paul than does wings and performs and John becomes a very private person for years. People change, time changes. Thank you Paul John George Ringo for all the joy you brought to my journey.
I heard the exact opposite. That John HATED performing live! Check out a concert appearence he did with Elton John just before a cover of "I saw her standing there": "I'd like to thank Elton & the boys... now I can get out of here and be sick!"
@@l.salisbury1253 That’s because he was playing with Elton John.
Yeah, taking into account John immediately did a couple of live gigs while Paul went and lived a farm life. It was then that everything turned around.
You used the wrong then
@@l.salisbury1253 He hadn't been on stage for a couple of years and was incredibly nervous, and it was a hugely high pressure situation in a huge, famous venue, large crowd, with another star performer. Early on when they were performing every night, it was his routine and he was accustomed to it. I can totally understand that, as a performing musician.
Abbey Road was the most melodic of their albums. Something, Because, You Never Give me Your Money, Golden Slumbers. Dripping in melodies.
Rubber soul is a good contender; In my Life, Nowhere Man, You won’t see me, Norwegian Wood, Michelle, Girl.
_Abbey Road_ invented the next 50 years of pop-rock.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver here we go again. The Beatles single-handedly invented all music genres we know today. . yeah yeah yeah..
I think it's THE most melodic album.
@@inmundo6927 Not all, and not genres. But you can hear Beatles songs and approach mined for a lot of hits of late-60s, 70s, 80s, and into 90s
There are some greatest hits from this album, such as Something, Here comes the sun, Come together etc. There are also some very good songs, such as Because, She's so heavy etc. But to me, what it makes this album so special, is the side 2 medley. I'd say its the most enjoyable music I've ever experienced.
Absolutly
How is it, that we keep forgetting how much a genius McCartney is when he speaks of his Beatle achievements - I wish that they had played the Isle of White. At that time, their songs were different x
Can you imagine interviewers telling the most famous musicians in the world today that their lyrics on their latest album are a bit passé? Lol. I’ve been listening to a lot of 60s interviews with the Beatles and this blunt criticism verging on put downs is a recurring thing, and was always taken fairly well like it’s just the way it is. The dynamic between artists and interviewers has changed so much.
Musicians are more insecure nowadays
@@sherwintavarez8539 No, it's got more to do with relationships between the music press and the record labels, combined with the popular insistence on subjectivist relativism. None of this has anything to do with the musicians themselves. It has everything to do with the systems in which they must operate in order to make a living, as well as a complete lack of integrity on behalf of modern journalism.
There once was a time when adults existed.
@@ignatiusjackson235 Also, musicians are more insecure nowadays
@@harold3165 I wouldn't say that, because it takes a certain amount of humility to be insecure. The same type of humility it takes to be talented, I'd say. We don't see too much of that nowadays.
3:37 I love whenever Paul randomly hams up his scouse accent
This band never shouldve broken up.
I think we can all agree on that, Rich. I just wish I'd lived through the mania :)
You want to leave them wanting more. Probably for the best that they did.
John and George just could not handle Billy's arrogance anymore.
They went out when the Beatles were on top .
Inevitable.
The sheer energy of the Beatles is astounding. Paul says that he likes Abbey Road better than The White Album, which insinuates that there was no material between those albums, yet the Get Back project happened a mere TWO MONTHS after The White Album hit shelves.
Let It Be and Abbey Road were recorded in the same year. Think about that.
That's insane to think about🤔
He talks about „Let It Be“ as film project they are working on. Probably the direction of that project wasn’t that clear. The journalist didn’t ask about the music.
Get Back broke their solidarity. John and George genuinely hated the sessions, despite whatever smoke and mirrors Peter Jackson delivered in his recut. If Paul had let them rest after the White Album they might have lasted into the seventies.
@@steveconn I agree that they should've rested after the White Album. Maybe then they would've entered the studio with a more cohesive idea for the project. After watching the documentary it seems to me that Paul was desperate to keep the lads working. You can see it in his eyes the day after George leaves; he's close to a break down. I guess The Beatles were used to working at a breakneck pace. Based on Mark Lewisohn's Complete Beatles Chronicle, these guys BARELY had breaks longer than a few weeks prior to 1967.
Let It Be would have been a great album if they had just included Dont Let Me Down and finished All Things Must Pass. Never understood why DLMD was left off. Still I like the album, underrated
This interview was with BBC presenter David Wigg, recorded for the Radio 1 show Scene And Heard. It took place on 19 September 1969, the day before John Lennon told the rest of the band he “wanted a divorce.” It was broadcast in two parts, one on 21 Sept. and the other a week later.
Yes, and that meeting on Sept. 20th put Paul in a tailspin. Left for Scotland very soon thereafter.
John came back about two weeks later and was proposing a new Beatles album. John was just terribly inconsistent. What ended future Beatles recordings was Paul's ego - he wouldn't give George equal billing with himself and John. John, George, and Ringo continued to work together well into the 1970s. Paul was the one on the outside.
@@OroborusFMA If you’re refering to the band meeting that was taped (for Ringo, who was in the hospital at the time with a stomach issue), during which Lennon leads a discussion on how the songwriting for a possible next album (post Abbey Road) might be divvied up, that took place on 8 September.
False
@@docsavage8640 Teeth
This is a really interesting interview, because this is very close to when they broke up, but Paul's still talking about them as a group and what he hopes the Beatles will be like in the future. It shows how random and unexpected their breakup was to them
Didn't hear the part where Paul McCartney goes through Abby Road track by track
Paul always was very good at giving interviews, still is. Interesting to hear him dodge the question on Klein, answering it without addressing the question. I'm not sure if he got the questions in advance but if that was off the cuff it was very well played. It's a bit sad when the question about what will the Beatles be doing at 40 came around. "Mourning the loss of our friend," came to mind. Of course, who could have made that call. I think most people wish they could see the future, but I also think if you could maybe you wouldn't like the ability as much as you think. Anyway, always great to hear a Beatle interview, especially one centered on the album that changed my life. Cheers.
My pleasure and I agree with everything you said, lovely words and well written. 🗽💙
i love how paul not only defends his band mates but also totally deconstructs the interviewers criticisms at the same time. such a brilliant and witty man
The Abbey Road LP is the real Beatles masterpiece IMO. That Paul points to two songs that are not his own, as his favourites just goes to show he isn't the masive egomaniac that some like to paint him as (although he has every right to sing his own praises). My desert island discs would be Come Together and You Never Give Me Your Money. Superb.
Or he said it for the exact effect to not look like that. Anyway, amazing interview.
@@TheJoshtheboss why do people always ascribe the worst possible motivations to things Paul says? Very cynical view, and frankly, baffling to me. He didn't wait 10 or 15 years to voice his preference. He said it *at the time* He always favoured those songs from the album.
@@pixiewings21_9 I think it's because Paul demonstrated on multiple occasions to be very business and popular opinion savvy. And false humility is a powerful and clever strategy to promote yourself.
But at the same time Paul demonstrated in multiple interviews that he is a really likeable guy. I like Paul and his music. I love his interviews. And yes, it is quite cynical view and we'll never know. I do agree that Paul often gets enough slack, probably unfairly too.
But he just appears to be the type of a crafty PR man.
One of the Beatle biographers said that Harrison (when he was alive) was the only one who could give an account what really between the 3 Beatles. Because John was dead, Ringo can't because he really doesn't know, and Paul won't say because he changes the history all the time.
@@TheJoshtheboss (warning - this is a bit of a long one..) "Paul demonstrated on multiple occasions to be very business and popular opinion savvy" 100% agree and thank goodness for that, especially in regards to what was musically likely to sell! But being business savvy and having an eye to popularity doesn't equal "false humility", it's common sense. He loved what he did but he also wanted to make a living.
Remember it was Paul's acuity that saved The Beatles their money when Klein mis-managed their financial affairs.
And Paul wasn't always *such* a slave to 'popular opinion' that he would abandon what he believed to be morally right. During The Beatles tour of the US where performing to segragated audiences had been proposed, Paul was very vocal in his views that they would not perform if those were the circumstances. In a US press conference he said: "We don't like it if there's any segregation... you can't treat other human beings like animals... there's never any segregation in concerts in England and in fact, if there was, we wouldn't play 'em ".
"Crafty PR man"? That makes him sound so conniving - I don't see that in him at all. Astute, enterprising, diligent, exacting? Yes. But also genuinely conscious of the feelings of those around him - especially as the older and wiser man he has become.
Look I get it, Paul comes across as being *very* likeable, but I believe it's his diplomacy that can sometimes be *perceived* as insincere. But that's just perception and not necessarily an accurate assessment.
I'm not like him, I often sacrifice diplomacy in favour of harsh 'thruths' (well, my version of the truth, anyway), I actually feel it's a perverse form of self-indulgence. I'd *rather* be more like Paul - kind and careful, it's harder and takes more self-control.
I've also come across different accounts of the same stories that Paul has told, but is that deliberately massaging the truth for his benefit, or just a very human tendency to misremember things from the past?
No one is perfect, and Paul will have his faults like all of us, but I think he's been given a hammering over the years. It's been excessive and IMO, unjust.
@@pixiewings21_9 This comment is perfect. Explains everything I wanted to say, so thank you!
I liked Paul's openness. And I really enjoyed hearing his comments about the Get Back filming now that I've seen it myself.
Such well thought out arguments/explanations. What an intelligence! No political thoughts - just honesty!
I love the early Beatles and the later Beatles. I am old enough and loved em as a ‘youngster’ and the experience of being there and hearing the young Beatles at that time was more than sufficiently mind blowing for me. 🙃🥳
Great interview thanks for sharing.
A side of Paul McCartney I'd never heard before. Never cared much for him, but always respected him. For a guy who can't read or write music, he certainly came up with some incredible tunes, mostly with the Beatles, but afterwards quite a catalogue.
A true star any thing Beatles I’m watching and listening great hair cuts and clothes thanque and respect for giving me your fab music
Excellent interview.
Those are the rarest Pepper era photos I've ever seen. The span of the Help movie (john with no glasses) to Pepper (Paul with mustache) to this interview (Paul possible beard)- gets you at least 4 of their best years. The Pete Best lawsuit for 18 million was always there in the background- it just kills any kind of Beatle's buzz... he was rejected because he couldn't grin... ach!
What a great interview...
I thought so too but I lost 75,000 subscribers so they're not going to be able to hear it again. I think it's a classic interview and I don't want to waste the rarer ones until there's a much bigger audience. I've had 75,000 subscribers and this interview got over 250k views 🤷♂️
@@Beatlestories Why did you lose so many subscribers?
@@countquackula8539 My old channel was terminated because of copyright claims from YokoOnoOfficial and UMG, I think it's because I uploaded John's demos. I had to start over again and I'm wanting to reach 10,000 subs so I can upload the podcast, no point in uploading episodes only to get 300 views.
Wow, so many things said in this interview that sounds prophetic or eerie, like the "What will you be doing at 40"
Fantastic interview 👌
Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper were their two masterpieces, IMO.
Amen buddy.
I was today years old when I learned that Paul had a stepsister named Ruth born in 1960.
I just love listening to younger Paul talking.
4:17 He sounds like John here.
6:25 He sounds like George here.
There’s a Wings song called “I’m Carrying” where I swore it was George singing at first, lol
Another place I think Paul (intentionally) sounds like George is in Band on the Run, when he sings for the third time “ If I ever get out of here”.
10:13 Amazing that “What will happen when you turn forty?” seemed to always be the big question
I couldn't help but think of John, who died at that age.
@@samuelmcgovern John wrote a "self-interview" for an Andy Warhol magazine and asked himself what he would be doing when he turned 40, and his answer was "fucking guys."
Friggin AWESOME!
There are similiar Abbey Road track by track interviews with John and George. The album was on their company's record label so they were plugging it.
Great point I never considered (even though I know their history about Apple Records and all.) Now it makes more sense why they or kissing their own asses a lot more in regards to that album instead of other ones including the SUPERIOR "The White Album" (despite the former being on that same new label of theirs, it makes a lot more sense of why they were a bit over patronizing of their own songs or other songwriters within the band's songs, etc...GREAT POINT!!)
Great interview! It's rather interesting that Paul obviously had no clue as to what was going to happen. His perspective would completely turn around in the future. I don't think John necessarily wanted to get out there and keep performing, I think he just wanted to get out there and do things that weren't Beatle-related. On the contrary, it would be Paul who would be doing the touring and John avoiding it.
Yeah, Paul seemed to be the one who most enjoyed touring out of the four. John never toured post Beatles and George only ever did two, decades apart. Ringo tours pretty consistently of course.
Thanks from New Orleans, I’m in. 👍🏼🎭👍🏼
Love Paul McCartney
AMAZING
“…I don’t know what’ll happen…but it’ll be alright “. Who knew the end was so near?
I know. Really sad 😔

Love your channel
Thank you Bruce, I appreciate that comment more than you'll ever know :)
I liked how you closed the vid. Quite evocative. Mournful
Not a bad track on it. -Paul
The highlights for me on this album are Something, She's so Heavy, You Never Give Me Your Money, and Golden Slumbers.
I have been listening to this a lot lately and am starting to think it's their best album. I always used to go with Revolver.
God someone calling something passe that the Beatles wrote??? Straight to their face? Incredible.
I think it was a good call. He’s commenting from inside the Times of the culture that created those phrases. And even saw them as passé so he’s doing a little bit of critique and analysis. Why not? And then Paul clarifies in a lovely and brilliant way.
thats a pretty cool pic or cover done here. hard days night on abbey road zebra walk. most pics of the abbey road people do are just whimpy stuff but this is very cool. ill check this out soon it seems real interesting.

Suss a wee glimpse of Scouse in Paul’s voice at 5:42, the “breathy” K in “speak.”
That last image of John is haunting
Cool 😎🎸😎🎻😎🎷😎🥁
When he talks about Beatles “Changing” as the time goes on The same logic applies to Elvis “Growing up” yet they expected him to be the young 50s rocker in the 60s and 70s so it’s a bit hypocritical when you think of it
I don't think I've ever heard an interview with any Beatle where they were flippant, or disrespectful with their answers. Except when they were obviously expected to be cheeky, they always gave a thoughtful, honest response, sometime to the surprise of the interviewer.
Morning Has Broken is probably the best poem turn to song since Golden Slumbers.
To hear Paul mention Toronto probably means John had already announced he was leaving the group. Paul couldn’t say that, but I think he sounds pretty low key. Depressed, even.
John told the other Beatles he was leaving six days prior to the release of Abbey Road, on September 20, so you’re correct, Paul already knew
This was recorded the day *before* Lennon announced his departure. (He’d already told Allen Klein.) 19 September 1969.
It definitely sounded like Paul was down in this interview. Perhaps he knew it was coming
Wow he talks about Get Back in an interview way before it’s release in 2021.
You now there was an earlier documentary right?
You know he saw them filming right?
Nice
he asks Paul what do you think The Beatles are going to be doing when youre forty, and all i could think of was John and it got me a bit emotional.
John lived to be 40 and was in a good place before he was taken from this world. He had reconciled with Paul, they had had dinner and talked about getting the band back together. He was happy. God Bless Him, and R.I.P.
He and George were in a bad place
Their disintegration was so gradual even they couldn't fully believe it until Paul filed to dissolve the partnership on December 31, 1970. There's tape of George from the summer of 1970 saying expected the Beatles to get together soon to record in addition to their solo projects.
She came in through the bathroom window and you never give me your money are brilliant
I thought the thumbnail pic was real until I saw the vw beetle 😂 nice photo shop
Wow! I have never seen most of the Sgt. Pepper photos you are showing in the video. Where did you find them?
Sounds like there was more to this interview, will you be posting the rest?
He’s so Smart omg
You ask any fan of any band and they will always say the early stuff is the best but The Beatles just got better and better and better... imagine the stuff they would have come up with had things had worked out differently.
Like, “It doesn’t really matter if it’s wrong I’m right, where I belong I’m right where I belong. …”. Similar to John’s “ Because” in that way of word play.
If John had already returned from Toronto I wonder if the band already knew he was leaving at the time of this interview. If they did, then Paul is the best actor in history.
The Let It Be session
included songs written by George with support from John Paul & Ringo
It was George who be indifferent
The songs included would become the classic All Things Must Pass
Paul answering "we'll be alright" when the interviewer asked where each of the Beatles will be at 40 years old. :(
Well, at 40, they all were in pretty good shape. They were all doing alright. John didn't get a chance to turn 41, but he was in a good place before he was taken from this world.
He was correct
"passé in 1969"
Humans are crazy.
right? I thought that was so snob
9:05 - is this interview right before the meeting where John quits?!
Just a quick question to the author if this video. Where did you get the thumbnail of the Beatles (A Hard Days Night era) running down Abbey Road? I painted the exact same concept in the early 1990's. I just had to click and comment when I saw that. Wild!
So Paul´s fav tunes were: Something (written by George), Come together and Because (both by John).
And now compare it to John´s lists of fav tunes.
10:12 This questions hurts
♡
Can you provide details of the source material?
I think it’s funny how the interviewer said, “Isn’t the lyric ‘turn me on’ a bit passé?” The stuff that hip people in the ‘60s cared about! In the ‘60s, pop culture changed so quickly that even things from only a couple years ago could be called passé! Several decades later, with the Beatles firmly entrenched in the bedrock of music history, little cultural fads like that don’t matter anymore.
_*It's SO Passe in *_
How incredible to have a journalist critiquing the lyrics of 'Because'! Imagine if we actually had journalists today instead of corporate propagandists, and regarding music, what they might ask about Max Martin's sub-cretinous garbage he churns out for the corporations & his 120+ shyte clients
Paul said they were playing Abbey Road together. However, many of the materials were recoded separately, I think?
Does someone know when this interview took place ? I just checked the dates, Abbey Road was released on 26 september 1969, and John Lennon told the others he was leaving the band less than a week prior to that on 20 September 69.
So at this point Paul probably knew the band was over and done with, that's quite trippy.
Unrelated but I'm french and I'm unsure of the way i write dates, is it the correct phrasing ?
If John sang the song 🎵 he wrote it. If Paul then Paul. George etc. Ringo were the only one where John & Paul wrote for him. We Beatle fans know this. This comment is for the newbies.. 😊 Subscribed.
"I'm Happy Just to dance With You' written by lennon sung by Harrison.
My favorite song on Abbey Road is Oh! Darling. I think it's so underrated.
everyone loves that song, it's not underrated
I love singing it in the car but of course I can’t come close to those killer vocals. His poor throat, man.
Not sure about the timeline, but I wish that Paul's song 'Goodbye' written for Mary Hopkin or 'come and get it' had been included on Abbey road instead of Maxwell's silver hammer.
I'm here to hear Maxwell's Silver Hammer described aka the most hated song by the band.
One of Paul’s granny songs…J L
George was civil about it when he did his interview. He said “Some people really like those catchy weird songs” but he said he liked “Oh Darling” which surprised me.
Отстаньте, наконец, , от песни Максвелл, зачем болтать одно и то же- как будто у остальных битлов бы ли сплошные хиты и не было не очень удачных песен! Пол своим творчеством давно доказал что он лучш
ий, да на том же альбоме Abbey Road !
Paul McCartney technically didn't have a single on Abby Road.and his favorites were not his,that being said Abby Road was his finest hour
“She Came in Through the Bathroom Window” was such a creative little song… perfect from beginning to end. I’m glad George got a great first single though, he deserved it
@Beatle Stories At the 3:24 mark is that David Crosby?
It certainly looks like him, Sheila. Btw - I have a guest arranged for Friday night, 9pm London time if you're around. You'll really enjoy it, he has a wealth of knowledge on The Beatles, he's a native New Yorker and went to the Dakota the night John died. Very intelligent and interesting man :)
@@Beatlestories That sounds excellent. Might be about 3am for me but I'll certainly do my best.
@@Beatlestories No wait six hours behind London time so it would be 3 in the afternoon my time. 👍
