  • Okay I've had this video saved onto my "watch later" for around 2/3 months now and I've only just got the courage to watch it... when his voice started breaking down I just burst into tears, I can't imagine the pain he's gone through since Johns death :(

  • I love this. :,( I believe Paul had two soul mates; Linda and John. I know he loves Linda with all his heart but I believe he truly loved and still loves John as well. They had so much in common. John once said that one of the reasons they had such an amazing relationship is cause they both lost their mothers at a very young age. John mother was killed when he and Paul were already friends. Paul helped John though that cause he knew how he felt. They had the most beautiful friendship in all of

  • isagio, sorry that most of the comments are giving you crap about mis-spelling John, but it does seem like a pretty simple name to spell.

  • I am more of the opinion he was singing about John, but thinking of Linda, his wife and soulmate?

  • grande Paul !!!!!!!

    

  • I'll give him a hug if he wants it...I'm sure many people feel that way.

  • this broke my heart.

  • jez, what half wit spelled john jhon?

  • Thumbs up if u cried._____. I did.... John why did u go:(. Harrison why did u smoke so much....:/ I can't stop crying. :(. The Beatles will never die. They will always be number one to me til the day I pass and go to heaven:). And when I get there.. I just wanna see John and george just singing and laughing and talk about the great times they had in the 60s:)

  • @dogkiller07 even though george smoked he would have died anyway. the smoking didnt give him brain cancer and stomach cancer.

  • @shelbydee60656 the cancer began in the lungs because he smoked, then traveled to the brain and stomach. ONe can't help but think if he never smoked and gotten lung cancer, he might not of gotten any cancer

  • @dogkiller07 of acid? hell yea

  • Awww! ='( I could hear the emotion in his voice! He sounded like he would burst! I love you Paul! ='( <3

  • And if I say, I really love you and I am glad you came along, try to here that when Sir Paul McCartney is about to cry and dont have a singel tear in your eye, to me, its imposible!

    I saw him live in Stockholm for about a month ago, this song and Something almost killed me!

  • If you were here today....♥

  • I nearly cry when I hear this song, and this isn't an exception, but who are the idiots who keep talking at the begining and the jerk who waved his hand infront of the camera, let alone act like a moron during an emotional song at 1:10?!?! No one should do this during a Paul McCartney concert. :(

  • omg his voice cracked and then so did the dam in front of my tear ducts ;_;

  • If you don't at least have a huge lump in your throat as you listen to this song then your either lying or a serial killer void of emotion.

  • Comment removed

  • :') Happy Tears...

  • It is one of his most beautiful song and when his voice breaks, you totally can feel his emotion. That is what makes him so special. He is real.

  • 1:48 when he says "and if i say i really loved you i was glad you came along"

    THAT IS HEARTBREAKING HOW HIS VOICE CRACKS CAUSE HES ABOUT TO CRY )':

    ahh i have tears rolling down my cheeks. u.u

  • Heartbreaking :(

  • FIX IT! D:

    

  • @heavydeeeeee that's left handed man.

  • Paul you're the best, is so good to see that after so many years and still remembers John Lennon with much affection and emotion, you also lost his great and faithful companion of his life. Paul never be afraid to express their emotions to people. At that time was in need of a huge hug. We also feel very lack of John Lennon. <3 He will never be forgotten. :( John and Paul Forever. <3

  • I wonder how it feels for him to perform all by himself, knowing that the 4 of them will never play together? Must feel lonely :(

  • Beautiful .....

  • a very good paul mccartney-song

  • and I am holding back the teeears noo mooore... nooon no no. I love you!

  • OMG

  • OMG MY SIR JAMES PAUL CRIED OMGGGGGGGGGGG CONFESSION  I CRIED TOO

  • Just kills me every time I see this video.....

  • It makes me so sad hearing Paul cry ),; I love both Paul and John. And I still can't stop the tears ),: he has such a beautiful voice. he is truley the sweetest man to ever have lived.

  • I'm tearing up for him ),: poor Paul, He truley does miss and love John like a friends and like a brother. R.I.P Jon Lennon 1940-1980. I love them both and Paul is the sweetest man in the world for writing this song for John. and I'm still crying ),;

  • Wow. Simply amazing.

  • sooo heartbreakmg:( cant stop my tears

  • Please, correct the title!

    It kills me to see John written that way...

  • @Raelsalmacis it's true

  • @Raelsalmacis I agree. What is simpler than spelling the name "John"??? Not to mention that Paul did no crying as posted. He wrote the song in 1981 .I think he's come to terms by this performance.

  • I have to see him in concert.... I have to... I have to....

  • Actually being there in person when he sings this is far more heartbreaking.... I couldn't even attempt to hold the tears in.

  • You can tell when he starts to choke back the tears hes not singing this for the audience any more. Hes singing this to John.

  • Ofcourse he is crying. He lost two best friends and wife. Poor Paul. :(

  • @miaa981 and his mother died of cancer many years earlier....a lot of pain to bottle up for Macca

  • I honestly don't think this performance is about John. It may have been written for him, but most likely he's thinking about Linda when he gets choked up. Wouldn't you say? I mean, WE love John, probably more than Paul. Paul had to put up with John in ways we can't imagine. But, nobody loved Linda more than Paul McCartney. Does anyone understand what I'm having difficulty explaining?

  • @wrfell i think he sings it mainly for john.. maybe linda and george as well. but mainly john. and i wouldn't even dare say that i love john lennon more than paul mccartney. how could that even be possible?

  • I miss Linda in his life and their kids a lot.

    Only someone who like John lost his own mother too, and so many people loved in his life, George too, could write some things as Paul does, and John did.

    The true blues of the soul that connect us all and artists as him are more sensible to scout for us. Paul has always been there for all. SO thankful to have been born and grown under his time

  • A pesar de los problemas que tuvieron al final de los 60s Paul recuerda a su amigo y compañero con esta bonita y triste canción. Tengo ganas de llorar pues tambien se la dedico a Ramón quien fue mi tio y un amigo quien murio antier.

  • Great respect for John and Paul. Paul can sing that song a thousand times and will probably always have that strange emptiness of someone gone who left a permanent mark in his life.

    With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!

  • Grande Paul! , John y Paul dos genios, la verdad es que los amo. Escucho su musica y es como que estoy en ese momento , me gustaan tanto! i love you!

  • one of the few songs that gets me choked up .

  • @TheBeatles4ver It was sad. It's time to get over it.

  • What a pro!! And what a great friend for anyone to have.

  • I once had a close friend when I was 6 years old. But unfortunately, he passed away when he was only 8. And until this day, I always think of him and look up at the sky seeing his smile.

  • Where/when was this?

  • Of you 13 people wo disliked answer me this: Why? Lose someone and then take listen

  • Seems like Paul was really getting choked up there. Peace on ya mates.

  • Who the FUCK is that disrespectful bitch talking?

  • Why do Paul's friends and family keep dying? It's so mean.

  • if chapman ever gets out of jail i am going to kill him!

  • I love Paul McCartney and John Lennon so much. ♥

  • @bonesbones

    i too :)

  • There are a lot of people who left comments that can't possibly have their GED . Spelling, wording, etc., embarrassing! Please try harder if you are an adult.

  • @creatingnine stop calling people who doesn't deserve it, who you obviously don't know, never will, bad things like that! it's disgusting.

  • All this bickering...and for what? Why don't we just let the music of The Beatles say whatever there is to say?

  • WHOEVER WROTE THE TITLE FOR THIS VIDEO MUST BE GIVEN A PULITZER IMMEDIATELY!

  • @WhoIsPine You makes bad mostly comment now when.

  • Comment removed

  • George ones said: There where only four people who really knew what happend in the Beatle years! Amen!! Always loved them and I always will!

    It's great that a man can wright a song like this for someone he loves.

    Like he wrote Maybe I'm Amazed for Linda!

  • @creatingnine and where did you hear in the song that it was out of jealousy?

  • @creatingnine So you're saying Paul McCartney, one of the greatest songwriters of all time, is "shit." You are obviously a very intelligent person, and by that i mean you are mentally ill.

  • @creatingnine Your retarded

  • i love kaitlin like no other not in a gay way but she is my best friend if she were to die i dont know what i would do i really dont know

  • My best friend drown in July. This song is so perfect for how i feel. Rest in Peace Tristan

  • @jyfosho I'm so sorry for your loss <3

  • we love you Paul!!!

  • :(

  • nothing ever gave me so eager to mourn as does this song...

    love you john r.i.p, love you paul...

  • :'( we love you paul! ♥ we wish John was with us to. As well as George. This is such a beautiful song about the brotherly love they had for eachother ♥ If i were in the crowd, i'd wanna jump onstage after Paul was done playing and like give him a hug lol. i seriously would want to though.

  • i cried so much!! =( but not for Paul and "John", i cried because he wrote bad "Jhon"!

  • @curlierzero Its the feeling jejeje

  • I'm just another random viewer/listener,...but I am guessing this was at one of the Amoeba music stores, the one in L.A. I think? This performance says a lot, about Paul's feelings,...probably thinking about George, as well as John.

  • Paul loved John so much that he can't even sing at a public performance with out crying and I don't blame him also this song makes me super pissed off at mark David chapman :( also where was Paul when he was singing this?

  • He came close to losing it at 1:32

    I lost it at 0:20

  • you people are saying john wasn't mentally ill in some sort a way?? well he was.. .if he was not mental then why did he physically abuse Cynthia?? and why did he verbally abuse Julian as a child???no healthy person would do those things. ....we all act like we knew John Lennon really was but in reality NOBODY did.

  • @Darkblossomxx I think he may have had undiagnosed bipolar disorder, an affective disorder characterized by periods of mania alternating with periods of depression, usually interspersed with relatively long intervals of normal mood............just saying.

  • Comment removed

  • Sick, mentally ? I don't think so!

  • @iceseekers John did have problems. He was a mortal being like you and me, not a god. Plus, he once considered putting a cut out of Jesus Christ next to Adolf Hitler. Not to mention, he abandoned his wife and child. He had problems. GET OVER IT!

  • In the last video the press jumped from asking how he felt, no condolences, then jump to what was he recording all day, to comment what a drag eh. I remember. How's judging someone's after their best friend just died. In your face cold heartless bastards never cared about anyone enough to relate. How'd ya feel?

  • Is this at Amoeba?? :o

  • john had problems before yoko, i think he wanted a mother and she was a mother to him , i think john was smart enough to see things for himself though, I think he just allowed her to lead him away from the gang, they would have reconciled eventually, be happy we have what we got from john and all of the beatles today

  • That was awesome!..so sweet of Paul to sing a song of how he really feels about Paul, rather than in the earlier years when they were bitter towards each other!..I agree..I love both men and long live Paul!!!

  • Paul loves John so much.

    I cried.

  • Wow , what a great relationship... more than that brotherhood, I can´t hold the tears when even he can´t...

  • I seriously cry every time I listen to this song<3

  • I wept like a little baby when he sang this at Wrigley.

  • @debjorjo

    Thanks for the update. I am living in NYC all my life and have yet to visit the IMAGINE memorial by the Dakota. Maybe this week or next.

  • :')

  • I hadn't realized that this song was older than i thought. He played it on his BACK IN THE US ( #17 song on album ( cd ).

  • @Broadway789 - This was on Tug of War, the first album Paul released after John was shot, in 1982.

  • luv this song! gosh i really cried

  • Comment removed

  • poor John RIP powerful song.

  • Yesterday i saw him.I cant even express how amazing it was.I can tell you it was/is VERY life changing and inspiring.The best day of my life!!,First ever concert at 13,Im VERY proud to say that!..He played this song..I instintally cried..

  • John and Paul were soul mates. Problem is that we don't just have one per lifetime. That is why things went so hay wire when Linda and Yoko came along... they were their female soul mates and that takes a lot of patience, understanding and sharing. I cry every time I hear this song. Of all of Paul's work, this is his best.

  • buddy's love each other fr3vr

  • 13 people haven't had a real friend

  • Comment removed

  • Where is this performance?

  • YES - JHON WAS THE 6TH BEATLE BUT JOHN WAS THE 1ST BEATLE. GIVE IT SOME TIME OLE CHAP! I'M SURE YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT. ENJOY.

  • As soon as Paul started getting upset I started to cry even though he has had his fair share of sadness and heartache I hope the rest of his years will be filled with joy , he is one person I never want to see hurting .

  • WAS JHON THE REAL SIXTH BEATLE?

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES 6th beatle??

  • I just saw Paul last night at Yankee Stadium in New York last night. I remember him saying something to the affect of, "the conversation I never had with John." Though I sat in the "boonies", there were cameras enlarging the images of Paul. If I were a betting person, I could tell that over 30 years past this horrible tragedy, the loss of John Lennon still aches him. I cried--no other performer has made me cry. Cheers, Sir Paul!

  • @groovyglitterglam You are super Lucky! I am jealous..... Not that you cried.. lolz because you saw Paul McCartney!

  • John dident need to die :( Mark david FUCKMAN! HOPE THAT LITTLE FAT FUCK DIES!!!

  • it makes me cry to see Paulie cry :'(

  • Is very Sad this song, i´m Weeping

  • man, If I were crying and suffering for the loss of someone special. I woldn't be able to play for a crowd

  • change the title, it's spelled John, you moron...

  • Paul is only a Baby *-*

  • poor paul and ringo-a tribute to john and george

  • Poor paul even to this day he still misses him. I know what you mean mscoolmonkey in tears just watching him.

  • Great song. Great man.

  • @darling67 When, what year was that show? Paul looks so young.

    

  • Wow, that's amazing. John and Paul were like brothers...

    This video made me cry :'(

  • Pure emotion....yep sure they all argued, but don't we all ? A song that has really emotional lyrics....well done Macca !!

  • I don't care what people say.

    I don't care that they had little spats back in the days of The Four.

    I don't care that they were human beings and didn't get along all the time.

    I don't care about some of the things John did and said about The Beatles and Paul. The man was sick. Physically, no, but mentally, yes. And it was unfortunate.

    They loved eachother more than any of us will ever understand.

    I love both of those men :) R.I.P. John and long live Sir Paul<3

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte What do you mean by mentally sick?

  • @lexlennon00 like many geniouses of his sort, he always had that really iffy unhinged thing about him. And as fame and drugs got more abundant, he kinda lost it. He started saying outrageous things he didnt really mean, a lot of people who knew him say his moods were constantly up and down and you never knew how he was going to react to anything. Paul and the other Beatles had even said it themselves. He just wasn't all there anymore.

    It happens quite a bit with musicians unfortuantly :(

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Your conclusions are mere opinion. Don't state it like you knew the man or had special insight into John's personality. He was complex and could be confrontational or slightly irrational depending on his mood, but saying John was mentally sick is absolute nonsense. And it just isn't true. if anything, John was a gifted observer of the world and the condition he found it in. He had an ability to express his ideas with remarkable clarity that resonated with millions of people

  • @dougalmac54 thats great. great song, listen to it.

    so its my opinion, obviously someone else agreed peacefully to it, let it be.

  • @dougalmac54 irrationality is a mental sickness in ways.

    they made their point, just listen to the song.

    

  • @lexlennon00 but dont get me wrong, I love the man<3

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte I understand that! :p I was just wondering what exactly you meant... I think he was just a "different" person.

  • @lexlennon00 exactly.

    It happens all the time with people like that.

    Look at Micheal Jackson haha

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Okay John wasn't THAT crazy! haha :p

  • @lexlennon00 true, he didnt get to the point of molesting little children n such ;) haha

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Thank you for having the wisdom to see john and paul as the flawed but gifted human beings they were, but i don't think john was mentally ill. he sniped at paul, but was also right that it was time for the beatles to end. deep friendships are complicated, delicate, indestructible. i loathed phony "Forrest Gump", especially sally field, and suddenly there was john lennon w/ cavett, his honesty as refreshing as a dive into a mountain lake on a hot day. he was always so real.

  • @moiraregis And thank you for not being rude! There is way too many people on here who are just that.

    Mehh, I dont really care anymore, I just miss the guy, I miss George too, I miss the beatles.

    But all good things must end, if they didnt, we wouldnt have the opportunity to look back and think "wow, they were incredible" like we do now.

    The fact that they have come and gone and never died away, it just makes them more special<3

  • @moiraregis Oh, and beautifully written, by the way :)

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte So well said. When one considers that many people would end relationships for far more trivial things (cross words or feeling ignored or betrayed), it is surprising how long the Beatles remained a group. I always wondered how John would have reacted if it had been Paul that was killed instead of him. What would John say about Paul? I do feel he would have agreed to do projects similar to the Anthology with Ringo and George. This is one of Paul's most compelling songs ever.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Juhn wasn't sick..Yoko brainwashed him!..She was a flipping psycho!

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Did you just say that John Lennon was mentally sick? Are you comparing arrogance and brilliance with a mental illness? Seriously? You go from saying how human beings will act human and bicker with each other, then you insult John by saying he was "sick / mentally" for not getting along with Paul. give me a fucking break.

  • @iceseekers He did have problems, WE ALL have problems.

    I didnt mean it as an attack. former beatles said it himself, he was sick, he wasnt himself anymore.

    It just the way things are.

    Relax.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte Okay. I just see a huge difference between saying somebody has problems (which we all do) and saying somebody is mentally sick. That's all.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte John was NEVER nuts...addicted sometimes...never mentally ill.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte "The man was sick mentally" - so how can you say he "loved" Paul, if he wasn't aware of it? I get the sick mentally part - Yoko establishes that! I think from 1967 forward, John became increasingly jealous of Paul, as Paul grew artistically leaps & bounds over John. Check what charted by composer/writer post 1966 (Paul vs John). John had his activism crap, Paul had his artistry/talent.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte the man was sick? the is an insult to john and all lennon fans

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte John was quite intelligent.....especially during his last years...he knew and confused the "system" better than any other artist....while other rock "idols" were just  talk-talk..... he actually did something...

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte hey man, how was John mentally sick? It's a serious question >.<

  • @VelvetSynclaire Ughh, I explained it a while back haha.

  • @SilenceIsBlckandWhte no need to explain, I've read about it =p

  • that is so real love.......:)

  • I love Paul. :)

  • @zSanction and he lost his wife. He loved linda more than jane and heather both.

  • this is proof that paul didnt die

  • This shows how much Paul really loved John...... touching.... brings tears to my eyes

  • My Hero

  • iedere keer weer dat ik dit liedje hoor barst ik in tranen uit :'(

  • THIS JUST BROKE ME.

  • awwww poor paul!!!! we all miss john

  • Beautiful, period.

  • when i think about my best pal i dont know for sure the reaction i would have if he was...whatever,all came to my mind,a mix of pain with anger...the world would have a empty space

  • the emotions in this version are what music is all about... i find it difficult to hold back tears myself ... beatles forver!

  • @TheBeautyBailey And also his wife Linda :'(

  • don't cry Paul...
