Paul McCartney being Irresistible 💜

[kinsfaun]

The top 80 best things about Paul McCartney:

the pure joy of him

that he smells like home

everything his lyrics don't mean

his voice obviously

linda

his refusal to modestly pretend the beatles weren't that good

how often he slept with John

how much he wants to tell you how often he slept with John

how much space he holds for him

being self-aware that he likes a bit of adulation sometimes

being self-aware about NOTHING ELSE

his eyebrows let's be serious

sitting on his hands

his love of buses

how he is palpably at least twenty different people

none of them boring

his oral fixation

his terrible beautiful relationship with george

how turned on he is by all the world

his very happy childhood

every iteration of his facial hair

when he's not in a laughing mood even

she can be a diplomat but I don't need a girl like that

his entire wardrobe in 1967

"i'm a golden garter"

the exclamation mark in oh! darling

the factory sounds on silly love songs

when he looked after someone's dog for a few weeks and changed its name

luigi and mr blendini

the soft perfection of mullet

"that's why I'm talking to John and not you"

owing it to his mum to still be himself

chopping the onions because he doesn't like to see linda cry

wearing his children inside his jacket

touching pianos

being vaguely bothered when people know more than him

"What's it like to be father to an 8yo girl?" "It's a terrible burden."

all of mmt but especially the magicians

how stupidly much he loves John

how little limit he places on that love

covering his nipples

the orange jumper

hiding away in cupboards

his adoring love of little richard

eating at home

his commitment to doing things he wants to do

refusing to feel tortured

liking to be liked

playing with children

random noises and funny voices

his little dances

banana milkshakes

climbing things

shipping people in his audiences

drawing music out of the air

"a formidable enthusiasm"

his show pony glossy hair

the way ringo touches him

the shape of him on stage

how much happiness his music holds

how easily it tears your heart out

doodling beatle logos in his little notebook

having a flat out breakdown in front of an entire film crew because to go and have his breakdown in private would be to admit he was having a breakdown

making guitar picks from pennies on the railway tracks

"we were all in love with John"

needing permission to be tired

casually not getting addicted to hard drugs

"prick him, and a song wells up"

his connection to the universe

his utter trust in it

heaven being a trip to spain via paris

making trails in the woods

the way musicians look at him

how thoroughly strange he is

the exact size of the hole in his mind

the utter bitch inside him

his very deep sluttiness

his imaginary emotions

his ridiculous face

just every fucking note of him

Q: When Paul and John write the songs, what comes first, the words or the music, and how long does it generally take?

Paul: Well, there’s no formula, actually, we just… sort of…

John: Good friends

October 19th, 1965 (Marquee Studio, London): John, Paul, and Ringo start to wind down and wind up the recording of The Beatles’ annual fan club Christmas record on the piano, trying to think of Christmas carols to play. (Note: George was not present for the recording proper.)

JOHN: How’s that, Tony?

PAUL: Okay listen, have we got enough, do you think, Tony?

BARROW: Can you do some – yeah, finish up with something round the piano.

RINGO: Round the piano, okay.

PAUL: Oh, round the piano, right, Tone, alright. [moves to piano; audio glitch?] You know that one.

JOHN: Which one?

PAUL: The holly and the mustard…

ENGINEER: Once more, once more.

PAUL: [laughing] The holly and the mustard / went out one Christmas night… [laughter] No, what is it? How do you do that one? The holly and the… How do you do that? I don’t know that one.

JOHN: I don’t know the tune.

PAUL: Uh—

JOHN: On the first day of Christmas my true love baked a cake / Good blimey cake / Good blimey cake…

PAUL: Good blimey cake…

JOHN & PAUL: Good blimey cake / Good blimey cake / Good blimey cake…

PAUL: And a parson in his pear tree… / On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me / Boo, boo, buh do buh do boom…

JOHN: [laughs] [inaudible]

RINGO: [laughs] I go – what? We’re not doing that, are we? [inaudible]

PAUL: And a parson in his pear tree…

RINGO: On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me / One bird a-humming / Two sailors coming… [uproarious laughter]
