When u want to write stuff like McCartney but his formula is "well it just came into my head and then I wrote the song"

1:55 "when john and i- john lennon"

TRUST ME WE KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

[mrmink]

His patience to go over this stuff again and again in interviews is amazing.

I was on a huge Beatles kick for years and what I always found cool was that you could basically listen to any song and say “This was written by John” or “This was Paul” by the guitar “structure.” Then if you still couldn’t figure it out, it was probably George! Just can’t imagine where music would be without the Beatles!

I love that he says "John Lennon" and "George Harrison" like we don't know which John and George he's talking about. Lol Love you Paul. McCartney.
