I'm sad that interviewers always ask about John but not about George :(

[Nerkin]

Imagine sitting in a movie theatre, watching Yesterday, and turning around to see Paul McCartney. I would start questioning my sanity.

[celinhabr]

"Then i found music and....John" this is so touching.

[blairkilgallon]

“Yeah, I have a lot of dreams about John… and they’re always good.”
It’s so genuinely comforting to hear him say that.

The man is near 80 and still cheeky and witty the same way he was when he was in his 20s the world would be a different place if this guy didn’t exist what an absolute treasure he is

[scemo]

Notice how everyone is silent when he speaks
Admiring a legend

[joeschmo]

Imagine going 40 years without seeing your best friend except in dreams. Such a beautiful friendship. I know Paul thinks about him all the time.

[voodoochildaz]

John and Paul had what could be argued as the most important friendship in music history. That is not hyperbole.

[brackobalm]

Stephen: Do you ever write songs in your dreams?
Every single Beatles fan: **sigh** ah shit here we go again

[daletwin]

Stephen Colbert has finally found out that Yesterday came to Paul McCartney in a dream. Now the last person on earth to find out has been told.

[louccideavon]

After all these years, and Paul still has his signature "y'know"

[djmikeymikeakamrfreestyle]

I love that everyone is dead silent when he’s speaking

[DrewRandIsCool]

I want to give Paul McCartney a hug he’s probably one of the nicest guys to ever live

[Isabellannfouquier]

“Do you write songs in your dreams?”

Every Beatles fan: oh no

Paul: yeah... yesterday

“Yesterday was written in a dream?”

Beatles fans: NO DONT-

Paul: well I woke up with a melody in my head-

[jodig]

“do you ever write songs in your dreams?”
paul: i woke up one morning-
every beatles fan: ight imma head out

[andreadamiano]

I will never forget this. I was watching the news coverage of an NYC march for gun control and Sir Paul McCartney was speaking to the reporter. The reporter asked him why he was interested in gun control in America and he said, "Well, in 1980 my best friend was killed right up the street, so....". Broke my heart to hear him say that.

[heisenpink]

Imagine how Paul felt when he saw the John Lennon scene in Yesterday.

[frankinsaneandmyrrh]

The thought of Paul giggling in the cinema because he's referenced as the greatest songwriter ever fills me with such joy haha

[vmwindustries]

Everyone silent listening to a musical legend!

[reddoor]

The Beatles are like an old friend...I can't imagine life without them
