Aaaaaaaa

WRAP IT UP.

Q: The song talks about the beginning of your friendship with John Lennon, and you mention a secret that you kept. Are you able to tell us what that secret was? Paul: No, I mean, that's the secret, you know. The lyrics is, "We met at Forthlin Road and wrote a secret code." So I'm meaning we wrote songs, but you did, you had secrets that only you two know. That's what brings you together.

"Lost Horizon"

The call of a train whistle cutting through the night, I still remember that sound. The pairing of a car engine waiting at the light, laughter from a children’s playground. That sound can lift me up, that sound can do my head in, that sound can take me back To the lost horizon. Where every memory we shared brought us closer together, And every day we spent there was the start of the first day of forever. Day breaks along the lost horizon, time makes every moment count, The chimes of a clock ticking on the tabletop, will I remember that sound? The breaking of a bus driver coming to a stop, music from a distant fairground, That sound can shake me up, That sound can lift my spirits That sound can take me back To the lost horizon Where every memory we shared brought us closer together And every day we spent there Was the start of the first day of forever

"We Too"

One, two, three I want to live for love So many people do Over, over again My thoughts return to you You give me what I want You show me how it's done Always, always, my friend You'll be my only one Last night, I dreamed of you And all that we could do Together, side-by-side We two can do [...] We want to live for love Like other people do Over, over again I'll be in love with you

"Never Know"

tea time with the ladybugs 🐞

The live was around 45 minutes long. There were only about 20 questions, give or take, and all of them were pretty safe. It was mostly things like:

“What’s your favorite color?”

“When was the last time you spoke to Ringo?”

“What’s your favorite pair of shoes?”

“What inspired you to write this album?”

“How does it feel seeing your music go from radio and TV to Spotify and TikTok across generations?"

“How do you feel about the impact your music has had on the world?”

"What's a song of yours that people misinterpret its meaning?" (He talked about Hi Hi Hi, and how people thought he said "bodygun" instead of "polygon")

"What advice would you give to your younger self?"

“Describe the new album in three words.” (he said, "memory, love and family")

But there were also a couple of more memorable questions. Someone asked him: “If you could relive one day from the Beatles years, what would it be?” and he answered "the rooftop concert". If you were looking forward to hearing anything about John, the only part I found noteworthy was when someone asked: “If John would have picked one song from the album, which one would it be?” and Paul said he would probably pick Days We Left Behind, “because he’s on it.” A few minutes later he was asked what his favorite song from the album was, and he said Days We Left Behind. Other than that, as far as I remember, he never mentioned John. Most of the rest of the video was just snippets of Paul’s new songs being played, and him playing some guitar chords. He talked a little bit about memories with George and the song Down South, and that was basically it. One weird thing I noticed was the live chat. Like 99.9% of the comments were just emojis, no actual words. And not a single question (which is interesting, given that there were over 800k people in the live). I tried sending a few normal comments (not even mclennon-related, btw), and sometimes they wouldn’t appear at all. Other times they would. It was really inconsistent.
