Paul McCartney: I never got round to telling John Lennon I loved him

Sir Paul McCartney has said he “never got round” to telling John Lennon he loved him, but it feels “great” to realise he does now.
The Beatles star said he and Lennon “grew up together” during an on-stage interview at the Southbank Centre in London.
When asked about his love for Lennon, Sir Paul said: “As 16-year-old, 17-year-old Liverpool kids, you could never say that. It just wasn’t done.
“So I never did… really just say, ‘John, love you man’. I never got round to it.
“So now it’s great just to realise how much I love this man.”
He added that spending his youth with Lennon “was like walking up a staircase and we both went side by side up that staircase”.
“I just remember how great it was to work with him and how great he was,” he said.
Sir Paul made the comments during an interview with journalist Samira Ahmed to promote his new book The Lyrics.
The book, written with poet and author Paul Muldoon, includes reflection on his life, his creative process and the songs he has crafted over the years.

May the remaining icons live a hundred years and the late ones find peace.

    @@Ri57490 You must have a different definition of genius than the rest of the world. I will give you a hint though... Start naming all of the geniuses throughout the history books in the world, that you can think of. There's a high predominance, and a known fact, that those which you will name, are known to be born as left-handed individuals. Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, usually considered the three greatest musical geniuses in history are all left-handed. And in the modern world most would think of genius guitar players as Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix, as both are seen playing left-handed. But who would not know that Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, David Bowie, David Byrne, Bob Geldof, Robert Fripp, Mark Knopfler, and there are many more modern pop and folk genius musicians seen to be playing right handed guitar, but all these past geniuses I just mentioned are actually born left-handers. In the historic scientific and art world - Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Picasso, MC Escher, Vincent van Gogh, to name a few of the most highly admired and accomplished genius left-handed artists. In the modern scientific world, and more specifically, Albert Einstein, Dr Richard Feynman, Dr Linus Pauling, and Dr Carl Sagan - all four of these physicist and astronomers are left-handed, as considered the greatest physicists of the 20th century. There's too many left-handed geniuses to name them all here but I've researched this for over 20 years since I was hired to teach astronomy as an adjunct professor in a local University. The university Administration had put us through a special class about the human brain, before starting the teaching course. The woman teaching the class about the human brain was a nurse with a husband that was a brain surgeon. This is when I learned the fact that left-handers are naturally born with a larger right brain hemisphere and with extra neurological wiring grown across during the fetal stage, through the corpus callosum to the left brain hemisphere. It's as if all naturally born left-handed people are given an extra brain computer. The bad side to left handedness is that it runs a higher incidence of autism, Asperger's, dyslexia, and bipolar. Famous modern-day computer geniuses - Bill Gates and Paul Allen of Microsoft, and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, all four are left-handed, but three out of the four here are diagnosed with moderate Asperger's. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are left-handed and both considered as geniuses. The famous movie actor Tom Cruise as left-handed, is diagnosed with severe dyslexia and possibly Asperger's. The famous Rockstar David Byrne as a left-hander is diagnosed with moderate to severe aspergers. One of the most admired comedians and actors, Woody Allen as a left-hander is also diagnosed with Asperger's. The famous classical pianist as a child prodigy student in Eastern Canada Glenn Gould one of the most brilliant modern classical pianists in the 20th century, suffered from moderate to severe Asperger's as a left-hander.

    John obviously had a rough background and he carried alot of pain inside him from his childhood. I think that´s why he was a bit rough sometimes, but it´s also what made his songwriting so raw and profound. John and Paul had a friendship bond with each other that they didn´t have with anyone else, but people like to focus on their conflict. But if my mind, that´s just brothers who expect alot from each other and sometimes get extremely disappointed in the other and lash out. It´s not a big deal. When it comes down to it, they loved each other more than they loved the people they never fought with.

Imagine all the love that came out of that once in a lifetime bond, the generations of music it inspired that define our youths, the soundtracks of our first romances, our greatest heartbreaks, our first failures, our most precious memories of loved ones, our parents' favourite song they fell in love to, the songs they played to their children, the ones our grandparents listened with us on our front porch. The greatest gift of the Beatles wasn't just their songs, it was the love they give to us to keep forever.

    @Proper nah Man, Lennon is every bit as much if not more genius than Paul. But I think they’re only at the top Together. As great as the were after the Beatles specially John, they’re not up there with Dylan as solo acts let’s be real, only together and that means with George, Ringo and George Martin as well. And no, McCartney could never write a song like “Strawberry Fields Forever”, let’s make that clear. Nor “Tomorrow Never Knows”, “Across the Universe” or “I am the Walrus” to name a few

    Yes! I was thinking the same. What's the play they were writing about? Was it a comedy, a drama, what. John had a flair for writing, having authored two books of Joycean poetry and abstractions. Apparently, Paul excelled in creative writing at school. Both possessing fanciful imaginations, along with keen observational skills. And, we know what successful lyric writers they became, esp John. I'd love to check this out. Even if it's just a crude outline. I wish I could've heard Paul elaborate more.

It's a well known anecdote but it may be just wishful thinking on the fans part.

    It's funny how one-hit wonders can go on the media and regale us with stories of their career; usually one or two anecdotes that they tell over and over again and eventually bore everybody with. With the Beatles, their story is so phenomenal, McCartney could spend days recounting stories of the band, and never repeat himself. Their story is absolutely unbelievable. The Beatles are not just a once-in a lifetime phenomenon; they're a once, only, EVER phenomenon. There will never be anything that comes anywhere near to the Beatles. That ship has sailed. I'm so glad that I was on the planet at the same time as the Beatles. McCartney's talent appears to be beyond human capacity. Peak musical genius has already been reached. It's all downhill from here, unfortunately.

    My impression of The Beatles 'Get Back' documentary series directed and produced by Peter Jackson,...it reveals one of the Beatles best kept secrets. The song 'Maybe I'm Amazed,'....recorded entirely at Abbey Road in 1969, during the breakup of the Beatles,...is about Paul's love for John Lennon,...not as everyone assumed, about Linda. IMO, 'Maybe I'm Amazed' was disguised,...somewhat like 'Hey Jude,' which was really about Jules. The heart of 'Maybe I'm Amazed' was John Lennon.
