paul mccartney - about johns death (here today)

paul mccartney - about johns death (here today)with following translation for non-germans:

I was just sitting down, trying to write a letter to John, because the song is about John. I tried to write down my feelings, the way I felt after his death. They were sort of sad yet funny. Like it´s the way I remember John. His death is terrible, but he was a like fun ! If he were to hear me talk today about how I knew him, he would probably say "Oh Paul, you never really knew me or understood me." That's what John was like. And then I'd say "Wait, a second. I knew you well! I can still remember the old days. What about this and that, and i still remember this ... ? The text is sort of a little conversation in my mind. I don't know if he would have liked it, but :

If you were here today, you would laugh and say we were always different worlds apart. John, I can barely hold back my tears. I remember how we first saw each other. How we played together. I understood you. And if not, we could atleast sing together. You always had this smile. And now I have you in my song.

Do not know why this man was destined to lose so many loved ones: his mother, two best friends, his wife ...

Guys, Lennon was great, but Beatles would have been NOTHING without Paul. And George, and Ringo. So stop saying you can't stand Paul, because he's one of the most creative, intelligent, original and genial minds of the 20th century

@Dr3xTV goddammit SHUT UP. John never killed the Beatles, the Beatles were dying

[razzberry82]

Haha, arrggh, my ears! I wanted to hear him talk, so I turned the volume up and tried to block out the other guy's voice. :)

@bobmarley4e I wouldn't say nothing. But certainly a great deal less, and probably not nearly as well-regarded as they are.

[SeanMontyPython]

guys... the band would not have been the band without all of them.

they often wrote together.

why do people love to argue so much. the very point that is the beatles was peace and love and here are all of you people bickering like the very people they wanted to ween out of society.

you all miss the point of there whole group and message so very badly. and i feel so sorry for all of you

Beatles forever <3

Ive seen several videos of his reactions and its like he really didn't care... so sad.

Paul McCarthy cant even ACT like he has emotional maturity beyond a 14 year old.

@vampirchik666 Now that you mention it, he's lost so many. Kind of scary really to imagine being in his situation.

[Spy0ne]

@vampirchik666 It comes from getting old.

Not trying to be crass. Losing John was a terrible blow. But most people eventually bury their mother, and consider it a tragedy if it happens the other way around. George was 58 when he died, which is young but not very, and Linda was 56. Sad that he lost his wife when he had so much life left himself, but celebrate a marriage of 29 years, and that it didn't end in divorce.

Simply, he's lost so many loved ones because he loved so many, and lived so long
