Hi ive never listened to any beatles song on purpose but i love gay people. Do you have any recommendations for which songs etc to start w as someone who only wants to observe the gay dramatics ? Thank you

ohhhhh man okay gay dramatics beatles songs (and if at any point ur like man this isn't my taste u can just look at the lyrics and go 🏳‍🌈❓). under a cut bc I figure some explanation is required if ur not a Beatles Fan bc otherwise ur just gonna be like. why is this here. and I love to autistically infodump.

oh! darling is absolutely number one. he's saying oh! johnny for a good half of the song & it was written when he was afraid john would leave. and he did 💀

same vein, helter skelter

I will :( so fucking pretty. and also literally line for line the story of how paul met john & he says it wasn't about jane and when talking about it said it wouldn't reach people who say he writes silly love songs. which is what john told him. hence the song silly love songs.

now and then............... diabolical ass song. john wrote it and paul only recently actually got it recorded by "the beatles" (him and ringo). fucking awful. it was on a tape labeled "for paul" (though we don't know if that was john or yoko's handwriting) and paul used that tape imagery in the promotion and also the lyrics video has two genderless people holding hands & has what looks like john and pauls eyes melting into each other which. is a whole other mclennon lore thing I won't bog you down with but: gay.

two of us. sick. sick. sick. written around the same time. paul says it's about linda but no one on earth agrees with that including the director who was working with them at the time and went on to make a gay movie called two of us where they kiss. yay.

actually all of abbey road. abbey road is like rumors before rumors existed.

come and get it was written at the same time and paul's demo is............ lmao

this demo of you never give me your money because the song is crazy already but what the fuck is paul going on about w this one. he's also said it's about a romantic relationship and business relationship at the same time. crazy how there's one person that could be about. I hate gay people. also the version on the album is better so if you hate this one that one does fuck but this one just has an insane intro

while my guitar gently weeps if you want some drama that isn't Just about john and paul. because it's about them but from george

me personally I'm saying I'm so tired bc it was written when john was staying up all night in india going insane about someone and I don't think it's yoko based on some of the lyrics but it's 50/50. good as fuck song though.

you should just watch get back if you're that into it (if not don't make yourself sit through that many hours of beatles content) and watch the way they wrote those songs bc they're crazy. "it's like you and me are lovers uwu" okay.

the ballad of john and yoko bc it tells their marriage story but also paul is the only other one on it bc john was like hey come record w me no one else is around. so the gay drama is imagine your boy best friend situationship is leaving you for a woman and then he comes and says hey can you write this song with me about when I married her? again. they're the fleetwood mac of gay people.

for more divorce era drama go to hey jude. which I'm sure you've heard so if it's overplayed just take a gander at the lyrics (it's overplayed to me too lmfao I can't listen to it or let it be) but paul claims it was written for julian. john thought it was about him and I agree

you've got to hide your love away. I'm not convinced this is about anything other than feeling like you're Too Much bc as a fellow bpd princess I get him but it's very easy to read this one as queer so

in my life bc a lot of people suspect it's about paul. sean lennon (johns son who runs his estate) also posted a slideshow of john and paul to this.

penny lane/strawberry fields forever they're a matching set. john wrote strawberry fields first then paul wrote penny lane. they're both abt places from their childhood

here, there, and everywhere is Not written about jane and was written while waiting for john to wake up. I'm sure.

if I fell because john wrote out the lyrics on a valentines card dedicated to paul. 100% as a gag in my mind but it's still sweet

a day in the life because it's like their mpreg child as a song

I'll get you because paul said he liked their faggy voices on it and that's the funniest thing he ever could've said

if you're really invested by now listening to their early albums will make you wanna die bc they wrote so many of those songs nose to nose

also this list is paul heavy bc john tended to write his more personal songs in the beatles as "I'm so depressed I hate myself everyone hates me and I want to die" meanwhile paul mostly made shit up until john started pulling away in like 68 and then he just started writing the most blatantly insane shit instead of using his words

and since you said etc here's some crazy solo career songs that are a must bc their solo careers are where their batshit unhinged gay drama really shines

how do you sleep is just a direct one to paul (that george also played on if you want toxic throuple drama). crippled inside is worse imo

too many people is also directly to john

jealous guy paul says john told him was about him and you know what meemaw probably

ram/imagine in general are just john and paul snipping at each other. also they're just really good albums especially ram but I digress. also on the cover of ram paul included two beetles fucking. lmfao.

dear friend is directly to john and that fact is insane when it includes the line "dear friend throw the wine I'm in love with a friend of mine"

cold turkey/let me roll it/beef jerky all share the same riff. because they're crazy. and let me roll it is intentionally done as a john pastiche.

call me back again/best friend are absolutely certifiably nuts. especially the live version of call me back again where he goes "I call your name (john)" and also calls him pretty baby. because he's normal.

silly love songs as mentioned above. also john apparently thought it was about him and that specifically paul was saying the "I love you" bits to him

coming up was one john saw as a message to him

(just like) starting over could also be about yoko BUT! original lyrics include a shitton of paul/wings references (in the final as well), the og lyrics are "the time has come the walrus said for you and I to stay in bed" which is another paul thing bc he calls paul the walrus, may pang (john's girlfriend/assistant) thought it was about paul, and when paul found out john died he locked himself in a room listening to it on repeat. so. also don't quote me on the may pang thing I can't remember if she said that about this or now and then but I Think it was this.

real love because a) the original lyrics to it are directly referencing paul and the fact that paul is off having babies when john used to hold him in his arms. bc that's very platonic to say but also b) the beatles came back and finished it after he died and it's depressing

here today because it was written for john after he died

tug of war includes the lyrics "in another world we could stand on top of the mountain with our flag unfurled". additionally evil fact is the grunts at the beginning were recorded at a tug of war match that happened to be the morning john died

this one 😐 not only are the lyrics sickening and insane and make me want to die but paul also went on this winding rambling rant that ended up at it being about john (+ other relationships in his life)

riding to vanity fair is another "this is blatantly about john"

seems like old times is an insane paul demo there's something wrong w that man

Look me straight in the eyes and tell me your current music taste isn’t what your father played in the car when you were a kid.

[asurrogateblog]

the way paul talks sometimes reminds me of the parts of the odyssey where athena appears in human disguise and is giving these elaborate excuses for why she needs to go but then the way she leaves is by turning into a bird and flying away which immediately renders that entire cover story useless

if the monkees was made into psychological horror it would be head (1968) but if head (1968) was made back into a comedy it would be monty python’s flying circus

Sometimes you read a letter by John Lennon and it’s like “you know what maybe I do believe that the spirit of John Lennon came inside Liam Gallagher or whatever it is he said”

The tendency to co-opt songs concerned with marriage/ Linda as being "about John" does sadden me sometimes. Listeners who do this give me the impression that they don't think women are enough, or that love of a woman doesn't merit art.

This isn't directed at anyone, and we all 'hear' songs on our own terms anyway, which I love. But there are already so many songs that are engaged with John, or his memory. Why pilfer the things she inspired?

[asurrogateblog]

do you ever hear a song playing and think “theres absolutely no way that what I thought they just said is what they actually said” and then you go and search the lyrics

it's interesting how fashion and music are so intertwined. obviously its not always accurate and people make unfair assumptions, but a lot of the time you can tell what genres someone listens to by the way they dress. must be something crazy going down neurologically to associate particular color pallets and shapes with particular sounds

can someone PLEASE tell me why all the depeche modes are in a bdsm relationship.

3, 6, & 27 for the music ask game?

3 and 27 were already answered (see prior asks) but for for 6:

6. is there/what is a song that you secretly love but you hate to admit it?

I honestly love run for your life by the beatles. I know its problematic but when I listen to it I like to imagine john chasing paul with a giant pair of scissors and that brings me joy
