John starts singing,

I won't cry, I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand by me

Paul joins,

Stand by me

And they're singing together and have some fun and laugh.

But Paul sings,

Stand by me,

Darling Johnny

And John starts singing,

Where you've been, when I was feeling blue?

And that's all

Quote compilations

Because I cope with my Beatles feelings by collecting and organizing quotes in a big ass spreadsheet and I may as well post them here divided up by topic:

The breakup

Quotes from each member divided by year, showing it was never so cut and dry that Paul always wanted to stay in the Beatles and John/George always wanted out

John Lennon’s sexuality

Internalized homophobia, intentionally spreading rumours about being gay + people thinking he was joking (John Lennon invented queerbaiting in 1963 did you know?), revealing comments from John and others about his sexuality, replacing Paul with Yoko, jealousy over Paul, flirting with Paul

Quotes about the Lennon-Mccartney rivalry & John's insecurity

The ramifications of Yesterday, a fear of abandonment, ego death, and having a relentlessly productive, competitive soulmate

John not meaning what he says

"Yeah, I was lying" [laughs]

Paul hurting John

The extent to and ways in which John claimed Paul hurt him and Paul's struggle to understand wtf happened

Paul wrangling John

Paul understands the importance of public relations and affectionately straightening ties

Beatles defending each other

Only Beatles can talk shit about Beatles

Paul trying and sometimes failing to be chill about Yoko

WHO KNOWS, YOKO?

Just insane mclennon things

Shit where you're like "I can't believe that actually happened??" Often not in a good way

[handgardener]

EXCUSE ME?!?

WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS MORE?

John: "my Cheri my pau pau... My pau Paul..."

Basically it's just John remembering the Paris trip and singing in French.

This is from his Dakota home recordings

John and Paul sitting very close and acting very flirty during a press conference. (x) It kind of looks like John’s hand is wandering below the table around/on top of Paul’s leg, and in the third gif Paul is trying to nudge John’s hand away?

[handgardener]

oh Paul
