Do you also feel that a lot of the songs that Paul says are for Linda are actually more directed at John?

Nope! I tend to have a more sceptical view of lyrics mclennon trutherism than I think a lot of people in this fandom do. I think a lot of songs are about John in the sense that writing is an amalgamation of various inspirations both conscious and subconscious, and given that Paul obviously thinks about John a lot completely unprovoked, the impression of his feelings about John probably finds its way into the music in ways that he didn’t intend. Do I think his lyrics have direct (or secret indirect) references to John? Honestly, not really, no. Also, Linda was his wife whom he loved and was married to for like 30 years - of course a large majority of the love songs he wrote will be about her. I actually think this fandom doesn’t give him enough credit in that regard. Like I’ve seen people say lines in Maybe I’m Amazed are secret references to John, like can we be for real for minute guys? Can Linda have some love songs from the guy who was actually in love with her? As a treat?
