  • uhhh, no, paul wrote this way before he even met jane. he played it to his aunt and stuff years before. so sorry, this wasn't written for jane.

  • @venezmilord yeah! songfacts web site used to said that it was written for her, but it doesn't anymore, so i'm gonna believe you :)

  • 500-600 women, I know all 4 were lusted after by tons of females, but that is extreme!

  • Paul love Linda....but he write for Jane his more beautiful songs...in my mind Linda was Paul's soul mate,Jane was The muse...

  • Paul you lucky bastard! Jane classic english beauty,

    inspired music & lyrics like most muses! 

  • Jane was a talented, independent individual with a life of her own. She and Paul wouldn't have made the relationship last, for like the rest of the boys, he needed someone to be constantly there for him. In that respect Linda suited him better, besides, the Beatles were not jetting around so much anymore bythe time he'd met Linda so timing was also a factor.

  • She was the prettiest Beatle girl. By far :)

  • Paul didn't mess up when he lost Jane. They were a cute couple, but so different. They would argue immensely about things as little as a window being opened or closed. I think Linda was better, because I have seen interviews with Paul and he remembers every aspect of Linda when they first met and whenever at the Sgt. Pepper's shoot, they way she held the camera, and her hands and hair. He never cheated on her, and if he REALLY loved Jane, he wouldn't have on her. Linda and Paul's (cont.)

  • @itsbridgetlogann love lasted for such a long time, until mother nature forced it to end, and you could tell he was such a happier person with her by his side, along with Heather. She inspired songs too, such as Maybe I'm Amazed, and others. And for those of you saying Jane and Paul looked more in love? I'd like you to watch Linda and Paul's wedding, plus countless pictures of them. why should it be a competition anyway? He was very much madly in love with Linda, you can't deny that.

  • @itsbridgetlogann I have watched them and they look staged. I met and talked to Linda, she wasn't a nice person. She was obnoxious.

  • @Englishlass You say that to everything I post about her, and it's annoying. My grandmother met her, and she was a very caring and sweet girl. I am sorry that you would rather have Jane with Paul, but that's too bad.

  • @Englishlass You are right I don't.

  • @itsbridgetlogann You better get used to being annoyed then.  You don't know everything that goes on under their roofs.

  • @itsbridgetlogann Yes, I can deny it.  You don't read body language do you?

  • @Englishlass Damn, you're crazy! Fuck off will you?

  • @itsbridgetlogann Must you resort to such vulgar language?

  • @Englishlass You're a troll. I can' comment on anything about Linda or Paul without you replying about it. It's annoying and you're idiodic.

  • Jane Asher was a whole lot prettier than Linda or Heather. But here's the point that I want to make in reference to the "Paul is Dead" comments. Look at his differing hight. In some photos, he's about three inches taller. In other shots, he's about eight inches taller. Is this the same Paul?

  • Comment removed

  • This song was written long before Paul met Linda and while he was going with Jane.

    Simple math.

  • my 2nd favorite asher, peters real cool

  • Oh, Paul you shouldn't've slept with that other girl! You and Jane coulda lasted foreva!

  • OH! They are so cute. My favourite Beatle and my role model! They are so sweet together. I wish they never broke up... :(

  • you know what would be cool? that after so many years, somehow paul and jane where back together

  • I think the only mistake paul ever made, was cheating on her.

  • Did anyone read the story that came out about 3 years ago, in the daily mail newspaper. It said that Yoko and Paul had a one night stand, this was before Yoko met John Lennon. Did any one read that story, and it is sadly true that he used to cheat on Linda.

  • @1365225 he did can you give the article like where i can find it

  • @pinkstarlite09 You need to go on google, the story is there.

  • @1365225 I have and I believe it.

  • One of the great Beatle acoustic tracks of '65.

    And Jane Asher? Lovely, lovely lady. So very beautiful and a great actress. There's a film in which she starred, post relationship with Paul, entitled, "Deep End". It was released in 1970. Can probably be found out here on youtube.

    Check it out.

  • to all of you saying that paul cheating on linda, your crazyyy!!! especially when they were on tour with wings! linda was with him 24/7 so theres no way, and they had their kids around all the time! when paul married linda he grew up and even if he had the opportunity im sure he wouldnt have cheated on her because he loved her so much. that was "his baby".

  • @DemiSelenaJonas How naive you are. Paul made it look that way because he is a control freak.

  • the last gasp of real fashion, those years. clothes are still great today, but in those days, it was haircut and then some, plus the right stocking and right shoes for the outfit.

  • i always loved this song

  • even if it was for linda it couldn't be because this music is way back the time he even met her

  • ok, seriously people...did you ever consider that they all loved every girl they were with? john has said on many occasions that he loved cynthia, paul loved jane ringo loved maureen and george loved pattie, but things happened, people cheated, they grew apart...its life, they all found that one special person who they would stay with for the rest of their lives. you dont condemn you parents for gfs and bfs they had before they met your other paret do you?

  • @chumon1992 paul also said that they lie on every interview,

  • @pinkstarlite09 yea? that doesnt mean they lied about everything. and why would they purposefully pick people they didnt like then stay with them for so long? especially since they were trying to seem single to the public. what would be the point of having any girlfriends then?

  • @chumon1992 yeah i guess your right :)

  • She is so beautiful but she, herself can't see it.

  • Ok seriously you give Sandrusom four thumbs down for saying that Linda was a lovely person???

    I know that many amazing Beatles songs were inspired by Jane but he chose to marry Linda so get over it.

  • @12345BeatlesFan

    you might be right .. MAYBE .. but you express yourself better .. because they misunderstood :)

  • Witch coment did you mean?

  • He never cheated on LInda! But yeah, poor Jane. I love paul but she was too good for him.

  • 0:46 Peter Asher?

  • I've also heard that Paul cheated on Linda as well while they were married.

  • I read that he was kind of interested on his exgirlfriend Maggie McGivern when we was in WINGS (maggie was dating his drummer or someone in the group) and that he was flirting with her so..

  • Paul also wrote the song I'm looking through you about Jane.

  • @34bx omg realyy???

  • @The1superbeatlefreak I read so, you can google her and you'll see =/

  • @ilovekirkir I didn't "make it up". I read it on the internet in a couple of different places and I tend to belive it since Paul was the type of man that couldn't be satisfied with one woman. John Lennon desribed Paul as a sexual gladiator. I read that he had mistresses and that Linda put up with it. Also, that he would have woman in hotel rooms while Wings was touring waiting for him.

  • @annaliese9 I mean, after all, he's still human, and we know Paul very much, he's kind of a play boy, I mean even today how many girlfriends does he have had! and still claimming that he LOVES linda, well sure he does, but come on! I'm pretty sure he did cheated on her

  • even if it was for linda it couldn't be because this music is way back the time he even met her

  • @34bx True...

    I agree with you.

    Its all very beautiful to say he loves Linda and bla bla bla...But c'mon the guy probably had loads of lovers (probably all over the world)

  • @audreycopping so glad someone's been realistic! yeah we love this lad but that doesn't mean he's PERFECT!

  • @audreycopping Yeah, he slept with 500-600 women when he was with The Beatles. But that was before he met Linda.

  • If you like Linda or Jane (or someone else) i hope we can agree that Jane was (and still is a class lady) she has never talked about her and Paul I:E Never sold her story. Respect

  • I totally agree with you. Linda was always a down to earth, lovely woman as well.

  • I don't hate Linda but Paul married her really quick after he broke up with Jane. I mean Jane and Paul were together years and then he marries Linda after a couple of months? Paul also cheated on Jane when they were engaged.

  • Paul married Linda because she got pregnant, & that's what "good Northern men" did back then. Same thing happened with John & Cynthia, and Ringo & Maureen. George was the only Beatle that married his girlfriend without her being pregnant. Also, Paul was a notorious womanizer who cheated on Jane whenever she was acting. She caught him in bed with Francie Schwartz, a groupie he had an affair with behind Jane's back.

  • Jane is my favorite original Beatle girl, she's so beautiful and still is<333

  • they have the same smile, thats so cute.

  • cute couple

  • beautiful couple

  • jane is awesome and so pretty and sweet

  • this is beautiful...i love them both and they were perfect together. i love this song too!!!

  • They looked more in love than Paul and Linda ever did.

  • @MrsChristopherAsher I think so too

  • @MrsChristopherAsher too bad he cheated on her.

  • @MrsChristopherAsher I disagree. Paul and Linda looked in love in every picture Ive ever seen of them. that aside though, they may have been in love, but Jane wanted to marry him. HE cheated on her. He would have still married her, but she didn't want someone who would cheat when she went on vacation.

  • 0.48 - so lovely!!!!!

  • @Alice555foxylady no se marcaron los minutos..

    0:48 .. lo marco por ti :D..

  • Jane went to Bristal for a day and when she came home it was in the night,thats where she found Paul in bed with another woman named Francie Schwartz. As soon as she seen this she just stormed out the house and left him for good.

  • Such a nice video with a wonderful song :).

    Paul really did love Jane. When she left him he was crushed and he deeply regretted having cheated on her. But, as we all know, he met Linda and things turned out quite good for the both of them in the end. I still can't help but wonder how things would have turned out had Paul been faithful to Jane......hmmm.

    I guess we'll never know.

  • Jane and Paul were poetry together. I agree with abrcrmbynfthch!!! Paul should have married Jane!!!

  • perfect song. perfect lyrics. poetry

  • oh she's cute!

    wow. i didn't know he wrote this song for someone and now i know it was for jane, right?

  • i love you paul mccartney!!!!!!!!

  • I think Paul loved more Linda, cuz he married her and had kids with her. I bet he loved Jane Asher too, but Linda was "the one".

    Jane is still a lovely lady. <3

  • Who Ever Gave Me A Thumbs Down Let Me Tell You This It Is True Read Some Books!!!!!

  • This is why the duo Peter and Gordon got so many good Lennon / McCartney songs in the early years. (1964-65). Jane is Peter's sister.

  • Jane was and is a lovely lady. Paul really messed up when he lost Jane. She inspired many beautiful songs for Paul.

  • @JesseReith1 I totally agree with Sabra.  Linda was a loser. Big time!

  • @traveller941 You got that right, I met and talked to Linda but Jane was the classy lady.

  • 'AND FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO SAY THAT THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR LINDA.. GO AND READ A LOT OF BEATLES BOOKS AND LEARN BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!'

    Okay.. that was a very stupid comment. Of course it wasn't about Linda--Paul and Linda met in 1967. This song was around the early years. So there is no logical way of that happening.

    But they are a very cute couple. (Jane and Paul, I mean.)

  • I know that this song WASN'T about Linda

    but at first a lot of people keept saying that was for her.. so I'm on your side ;)

    this one was for Jane

  • yes... this song is from help.

  • It's like you said "ll opinions are valuable" people have right to not like Linda and although some people don't like her that doesn't mean that Paul didn't loved her.. get over it please

  • Hey Mary88stella, we all know your opinion about Paul/Linda or Paul/Jane so please stop beeing this annoying or I'm going have erase all of your comments.. remember it's not the same give an opinion than to write something with the purpose of bothering..

  • Yes, CooolCally, I think Jane Asher is amazing too. She's very special!

  • Just LOVE Jane Asher!! She is amazing<3

  • mary88stella, why can't you accpet that Paul loved others? Many others. So, he married Linda. No one disputes that. But he loved many others in his life. You can't seem to accept that.

  • Paul should have married Jane!

  • Jane Asher was the perfect English girlfriend. It's too bad it didn't work out between her and Paul. They were a gorgeous couple.

  • they were a couple but Paul and Linda were a gorgeous couple. Thank God he married the right one, the love of his life and the woman he still can't stop loving or forget. Pity she had to leave. He will and never did love anyone like he loved that natural no frills amazing woman. We miss you and love you Linda!!

  • I think Paul and Jane were the "gorgeous couple". I never thought Linda Eastman had much in the way of physical attractiveness. She was very ordinary compared to Jane. I don't deny that she and Paul had a good marriage; I just prefer Jane. Jane had talent, intelligence, beauty...and an independent nature. She also didn't want to crank out babies at that point in her life. I think that's what ended Jane and Paul: her independence. And his infidelities.

  • i think cynthiacher we will never agree but I respect that. Paul was the one who made his choice. It's not about exterior looks which this world is so obsessed with and creates so many problems with young gorls and their quest to be "beautiful and thin" I don't think it matters how intelligent or how talented each woman was because to me they both were. Linda and Paul wanted a family so she didn't just crank out babies. That sounds really cold and awful if you think about it.

  • part 2...

    Here is a quote from Jane when they were together for some years and she would have done anything for Paul so I think it's unreasonable to assume Jane didn't want a family with Paul and career was too important for her. Jane wanted to give up career for Paul and have lots of babies and this is what she said herself. I have heard it in early interviews I have seen and she has been quoted. Paul played up on her because he had his reasons. He loved her but something was missing.

  • part 3....Here are her words.

    Jane Asher on marriage, mid-1960's:

    "I am not Paul's wife-but yes, we are going to get married. We won't be married for a while yet, but when it happens we've got a family planned. First we want a boy and then-come what may.

  • part 4..cont....There's no particular reason why we are not getting married right away, except that we're both pretty\line young...I shan't give up my career unless it interferes with our being together...I love Paul. I love him deeply. I don't think either of us has looked at anyone else since we first met...I want to get married probably this year and have lots and lots of babies. I certainly would be surprised indeed if I married anyone but Paul."

  • Now here is a quote from Paul about his relationship with Jane.

    McCartney on his relationship with Asher:

    We nearly did get married. But it always used to fall short of the mark and something happened. And one of us would think it wasn't right....Jane and I had a long good relationship."

    You can never change the past and he chose the very intelligent, caring and talented woman Linda as his partner.

    You didn't watch the Sarah McLachlin vid did you? If not just do it once pretty please.

  • part 6... I really liked Jane too but I really admired Linda for so many things and Paul for marrying someone he loved and not some model or "beautiful" actress he was expected to marry. Take a look at other Linda vids and tell me you can't see how happy and very much they loved each other. He still can't survive without her. He said that recently. His Linda as he calls her is never out of his mind or heart. Wow! Take care cyn

  • I agree that, to the outside observer, Paul and Jane were fantastic. I always liked Jane's "Englishness", her porcelain doll features, and her speaking voice was ultra-feminine. Linda was a different "type" who came across, in my opinion, as gawky and awkward and just a bit uncomfortable in the spotlight. She was addicted to pot smoking {paul busted in japan carrying her dope!} which has a negative affect on family dynamics. I think there will always be Jane and Linda fans who disagree.

  • I suppose it's clear that I'm a Jane fan. I agree with you about Linda; she always seemed gawky and plain in comparison to Jane. Linda never seemed to wear make-up, wore shapeless dresses, didn't shave her legs...ew. After Paul took up with her he turned slovenly too; he grew a scruffy beard, wore shabby clothes, didn't bathe as often. I guess when you smoke a lot of pot your appearance is not a priority.

  • In the mid-90s I had a retail shop [just like Jane Asher does, ha!] One day, the mother of a well known rock manager/producer came in and because I knew trivia about her son, she took a shine to me. She knows many rock "legends" because of her son. She said to me, circa 1994, about Paul "he is ALWAYS high". I was floored and found that to be rather sad.

  • maryquant1967...this maybe true but did you ever think that some people just don't like others in the business or really don't know their facts. I am very aware he smokes pot and alwyas has but so do billions of people. I don't like the stuff because I know through my work that the cheap stuff people buy is laced with chemicals and causes brain damage as opposed to the old grass that was grown in a garden.

  • part 2...I still don't like any drugs but if he gets high what is high? Millions have a couple of wines every night which can be bad for you. He doesn't look like a burnt out dribbling idiot when you watch him interviewed. His memory is intact and he doesn't act vague Maybe he just doesn't get high every night Does he look ravaged? You can tell easily if someone has been permanently affected by their lifestyle and Paul looks fine and sounds fine. He doesn't hurt anyone else and it's a choice.

  • How naive. Many people who abuse drugs, and frequent use qualifies for that description, think they don't have a problem because they are not falling down drunk or overdosing. It's like the alcholic who says "I go to work every day. How could I be an alcoholic?". Does Paul have to look "ravaged" as the result of constant pot smoking? Should his creative output have been better the past several years? Its hard to know. But don't we all function better with clear minds?

  • I cannot comprehend your point. First you say "some people don't know their facts" and then you state "I am very aware he smokes pot". So, what facts did my acquaintance get wrong?

  • Hi maryquant1967..what i meant was that the facts about him ALWAYS being high may be incorrect. Unless someone lives or is around a person every minute of the day they can't say "he is always high" I don't have any doubts that he smokes pot. He has admitted it. I am also not condoning any use of drugs but he makes his choice and I just think that lucky for him he hasn't been hospitalised over and over with a mental illness as aresult of pot smoking. Some are very lucky.

  • part 2..I work in an emergency dept and also in the mental health industry and have seen what being always high can do to someone's brain. They don't function at all. It's sad. I don't see that with Paul.He has a problem if he can't do without it but he has just been very lucky compared to many others I have looked after in that he hasn't developed a psychotic illness which one can see immediately in those affected that way.

  • part 3..I know you don't like Paul or Linda and that's fine. I don't think as far as one can tell that they had any bad family issues. Every family will have it's ups and downs but they seem to be a very together and supportive family despite their individual issues. I probably didn't word the bit about knowing the facts and agreeing that he does use pot very well and I apologise for that.

  • part 4.. I have the most loving and devoted father who worships my mum. He is elderly now and no longer drinks alcohol anymore but he was an alcoholic pretty much all of his life. But he only drank at home secretly (spirits), thinking we didn't know. He worked hard and I can never recall him being off sick in all the years he worked. His mind is still as sharp as a tack and his liver function tests are normal.

  • part 5...mum has smoked for about 60 years and has healthy lungs etc. It's just luck that people get by somehow. At the end of the day I just meant to say that the comment "always high" can't be proved unless someone is with him 24/7. Who cares. He still functions and is only hurting himself not us. This whole world is ruined by drugs and too much alcohol. I hate it.BUT I still love Linda and think she did a lot of good for animals and charities despite the pot

  • part6..I think alcohol does more harm. You only have to hear about binge drinking going on with teenagers killing so many in car accidents and violence.

  • part 7...The media never reported any of that with the McCartneys and their way of life and we all know that people initially hated Linda so they would have done anything to defame her. Maybe Jane has the one or two pot smokes every now and then. They were pretty much all into it back in the 60's and we can't say if Jane shared a joint with Paul over those 5 years they were together. I like Jane so don't get me wrong but there are far worse things in this world than Paul having pot. Take care

  • Paul did drugs before he met Linda, but he became a die-hard pothead after taking up with her. Pot smoking was an everyday thing with them. It's weird: they were both strict vegetarians who would not put meat in their bodies, but would fuck their minds up with constant drug use. I guess they thought daily use of marijuana was harmless. It's NOT.

  • Good points. I think its easy to be in denial when recreational use becomes something more than that. I have wondered if either or both of them used it to escape the pain of losing their mothers at a young age. Some people say the worst pain is to lose a child but I think the worst pain is to be a child or teen and lose a parent. You don't have the maturity to deal with it and the pain stays fresh for a lifetime.
