1:55 "when john and i- john lennon" TRUST ME WE KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
-
"When John and I--John Lennon and I" We know, Paul.
-
This man is actually one of the most influential song writers. He thinks in music. Everything he sees and heard is music
-
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!
-
imagine being Paul McCartney. what a life. he even seems surreal.
-
His patience to go over this stuff again and again in interviews is amazing.
-
Not just a musical genius, a really decent kind man. Thank you Paul McCartney, you're up there with the giants of humankind.
-
Paul got a lot of heat back in the day and got blamed for the breakup of the Beatles and was painted as the antagonist, but they treated him very unfairly. He was and is passionate about his music and dedicated his life to his band members.
-
1:54 "when John and I... John LENNON and I..." – Thank you for the clarification, Paul, for a moment I thought you meant John Travolta.
-
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"
-
Paul has incredible fond and warm memories about John and his former bandmates that it's wonderful to hear him speak about them so caringly and kindly.
-
Best song writing duo in history. They are the GOATS of songwriting. Unbelievable.
-
Nice that Paul is giving George some love here. George is criminally underrated.
-
He looks like a young man who they tried to age and failed.

-
John, Paul, George, and Ringo... Geniuses with Heart and Soul...
-
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.
-
I’m a honored to live my life with Paul and Ringo still alive.
-
Having lost my mother years ago at the age of 15, his explanation about Let it be origins made me cry. So much respect for this legendary musician.
-
This is what pure brilliance looks like
