FUN FACT - Paul recorded the album in his home studio in the summer of 1979. He used a 16-track recorder, two microphones, and the acoustics of his house, including the kitchen and bathroom.

Happy Birthday, Linda McCartney (b. 24 September, 1941)

"My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit." - Stella McCartney "My mum was quite a wanderer. She had a real sense of adventure and a cheekiness to her." - Mary McCartney "Mum was beautiful, lovely, peaceful, joyous and so sweet." - James McCartney "Her strength, her passion, everything that we are, all of it is in Mary, Stella, James, and me, and my dad" - Heather McCartney "She was a very fun person to be with, very amusing and very witty. She had a great take on life, and of course she was very artistic. There wasn't a lot of sadness about her at all. She was an upbeat lady." - Paul McCartney

i actually genuinely think about Paul and Linda so much

(I know i’m a Mclennon blog but P&L and literally endgame. i’m so obsessed with them they have my whole <3).

and more specifically i think about them having Mary. something about Linda who was already a mother and knew what to expect, what to do, what it was like to have a baby of your own—but she had to show Paul the ropes.

I just have this image of Paul being so in love with Mary the way new parents always are with their first babies: “Is she okay?”, “Can I hold her like this?”, “She’s so tiny”, “Is it okay that she’s crying?”. And Linda just lovingly helping him and probably equally falling in love with just seeing Paul interact with a baby that was his. Watching him step into fatherhood in a new way. Obviously he stepped up for Heather but a 6 year old who is already becoming a person of their own is totally different from a baby, and baby that is specifically yours.

Or better yet: Linda telling Paul she was pregnant at the height of the tension of The Beatles in what I can imagine was one of the most turbulent times in Paul’s life. Paul says so himself that Mary came when he need her most. But I can just imagine the light in his eyes when she tells him, I’m sure it was a breath of fresh air for both of them.

Linda getting a chance to heal her own relationship with parenthood, and Paul getting to be a dad when he needed it most.

I’m so obsessed with them.

Paul & Linda McCartney, 1975

❝ It was very obvious they were still in love, they were still touchy, touchy-feely. When he had a gig, he was always turning around to her.

It would be fair to say he got lucky when he met Linda ... they were obviously brilliant together and he ended up with a great family. ❞

Just look at them, two innocents, standing there smiling, so proud of their newborn.

They have absolutely no idea what they have unleashed on the world!
