CALL ME BACK AGAIN.

This song is important to know Paul's feelings towards John... (which are interesting and confusing)... Eagle-eyed people may have seen this:

Are these Paul and John?

You decide what to believe, but these scenes from the video call me back again are very identical to the clothes they wore in their "teddy boy" time.

GAR 6922

GAR 6922 was Paul's home phone number when he was still a teenager.

Paul and his winks towards John

In small appearances in the song Paul could be heard saying "I've called your name, John..."

In minute 3:40. Copy the link or or search for the concert on Youtube.

Other concert when Paul say that. Minute 2:27:

And this last appearance where you hear the same thing. Minute 3:27.

Conclusions

Did you already know that? Well, now I will tell you my conclusion, but I would like you to analyze it with me. Before starting you have to know who may pang is. who is may pang? May Pang was John and Yoko's secretary back in the 70s. She was also John's lover at Yoko's request, but as time went by they formalized their relationship.

Watch the documentary "the lost Weekend" to get a clearer idea of the matter, it shows the other side of the coin between John and Yoko.

In the documentary "the last weekend" May Pang said that Yoko did not pass calls to John, Yoko told May to say that he was not there or that he did not have time, especially when it was about Julian or other people and when Julian called second time there if I passed the call to John. Now that situation is with your son! Imagine what Paul's situation would be like and even more so with the winks that were meant for John. It was as if Paul said: Hey, I'm here... call me! On Paul's part you can hear his desperate voice and the desire to be with John as he was before, that is why the video clip of the song shows the GAR 6922.

The relationship between Paul and John during those times is difficult to recognize, they are essential. but this song clarifies the situation a little. It is worth clarifying that with all this data in mind we are located between approximately 1973 and 1976.

what do you say? tell me in the comments, please. I'd love to see what they say about it and what other data they might have so we can get another piece of this giant Lennon/McCartney puzzle. My next post won't be long, BYEE.

1979: John works on an early iteration of ‘Real Love’. 

JOHN: Why must we be afraid? / That’s the way the world is / That’s the way the world is / That’s the way the world is / That’s the way the world is…

…

When will we ever learn / Du du du du in turn / Moments of true tranquility / Are dear to me / When we will ever learn / Why must we be alone / No place to call our own / Du du du du du du du / Are dear to me / Why must we be alone?

If it don’t feel right, don’t do it / If it don’t look right, walk right through it / If it don’t feel right, don’t do it / Just call him on the phone…

(But now and then) But every now and then I feel so insecure (I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before

(Help!, 1965)

I was feeling insecure You might not love me anymore

(Jealous Guy, 1968/1971)

He did put it that way; he was “riding on the boat called Paul, and now I’m going to ride on a boat called Yoko.”

(Yoko Ono, May, 2003, interview with Paul Trynka for MOJO)

Well you burn all your boats And you sow your wild oats Well you know, you know, you know the price is right! Got to get down, down on my knees

(Going Down On Love, July-August 1974)

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared As the years roll away And the price that I paid And the straws slips away

(Scared, 1974)

Somebody please, please help me You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred

(Going Down On Love, July-August 1974)

Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me I guess I knew it right from the start

(Scared, 1974)

Help me get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me?

(Help!, 1965)

Some Thoughts™

About art, desire and John Lennon

If you're active on the Twitter side of The Beatles fandom you'd know that just yesterday a collage John made for Paul titled "I Only Have Eyes For You" made the rounds and scared people whom, I guess, don't think about visual arts very often. Unfortunately I don't use the word "scared" lightly. People really used the words "disturbing" and "concerning" to describe this piece, with a hint of a "What was Lennon thinking about our poor Paul to make this with him in mind" sentiment that I don't think it's quite fair.

I tried to search more about this collage´s context, but all I could find (without having to buy Julian Lennon's book in which the image was featured) was that it was made in the 50s, while John was still at art college, but to be quite frank, I don't think the exact date matters too much.

What I see in this image first and foremost is desire, plain and simple. Red is a sexual colour, we have naked women sprawled, the head with its mouth open in a orgasm-like fashion, the eyes symbolizing voyeurism. If anything, as a friend of mine also pointed out while we discussed it, this collage is proof of the way John and Paul were so close they were even free to be honest about their sexual desires to one another. Even if the collage was made for another purpose and gifted to Paul later, this sentiment still stands, because Paul was the person he thought would receive this part of himself with open arms.

Is the collage "disturbing"? I guess, in a way. The same way I think growing up in the 40s and 50s in a hyper-convervative protestant society like England and discovering yourself would be disturbing. Even more if you're not entirely straight as an arrow. But I don't think John's talking about this here. This is about his feelings for the opposite sex, and they weren't always nice. Red is also the colour of blood and guts, John was also known for having violent outbursts. Would it not disturb you that the object of your desire also brings up in you violence? I don't think we'll ever know why he felt that way, but here we see that he's aware of it. At least I think so.

I saw another analysis of this collage that somewhat agreed with me, but presented this argument as if this was a bad thing? I don't know exactly what made me think this way, maybe the verbiage, but I'll never think a person exploring the nature of their desire, be it disturbing or not, is wrong. Of course domestic violence is bad and I'm in no way excusing it, but if you're willing to engage with The Beatles, you have to bear in mind they were shitty to the women in their lives in varying degrees much like every man ever in general, and specially at that time.

As a self proclaimed John Lennon Scholar i.e. I Wanna Crack Open His Skull And Look At His Brain With A Microscope, I'm happy this exists, and I think I need a little more time with it myself.

All of this to say: I like it, I think John Lennon was a good visual artist and stop being weird about art.

To lighten up the mood, look at the gay as hell collage John made for Elton in 1975! This one deserved its own post with a lot of tin hatting on my part, but whatever! I love them so much (and yes, I WILL find a way to mention their friendship in every post I make, shut up. One day the Lennon/John masterpost will come).
