Better than looking in the mirror

A witnessing of the most wondrous duet in recent memory, and how the world was made all the better for it. If you find yourself lost in the song, refer to the sheet music.

Hi! I've been following your amazing blog for a while but I still don't understand some of your tags like '1st verse', '2nd verse' and so on...

Hello, dear anon! 

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the blog! And don’t worry, my tagging system has gotten so complex and convoluted that it often causes confusion even in its own creator! 

The initial motive behind the creation of this blog was essentially the need to organize all the information I was gathering on the amazing duet of Lennon/McCartney. It’s telling of how my understanding of them grew – so much so that I keep noticing new levels and facets to their dynamic – that I have to continue coming up with new tags. You can see that some of the more recent posts have a lot more of them than the early ones. In a perfect world, I would go back and update my entire blog. But that, as you may guess, would be rather time-consuming. Someday, perhaps…

But other than categorizing the personally perceived patterns between them, I find it is also extremely useful to give a chronological context. So the tags you referred, for example, concern certain phases of their lives, specified when possible with the exact year. 

I tried to create an index page in my blog, to help perusers (and me) keep track of all the tags and their meanings; Sheet Music, for when we get lost in the song. 

I’ll post a copy of it here, though I’m afraid it is not exactly up-to-date. I’ll try to add all the newer tags as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I hope this helps!

John and Paul discussing their songwriting partnership and other artists covering their songs. Never heard this part of the broadcast!

Paul: I remember you saying quite distinctly John, “Heavens above us! Heavens above.”

John: Eureka. A songwriting formula!

A little after 41 minutes he talks about John and Paul

Thanks! LMAO

"They were best friends since childhood. They probably fucked a couple of times. It's implied from when they went to Paris. They were in love with each other."

This is actually brilliant. The half and half costumes, the gender commentary. The framing of the viewers at the end watching this, I don’t know, i can’t stop thinking about it. GENDER IS PERFORMANCE.

and never forget that the intro of the song includes the all timer

who could call me a stick in the mud when I POLISH MY TONSILS and put on my dancing shoes?

AHHHH I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK

"how does an artist become fully themselves?" these years deserve to be acknowledged to their fullest. very excited for this if you can't tell already.
