SHES PROBLEMATIC 🙏

These two men fell in love with each other, found a home in each others hearts when the world was a cruel and scary place to be. Their friendship brought forth the absolute best parts of themselves, ultimately resulting in some of the most honest, most devastatingly beautiful music this century has ever seen.

The way in which their story is cut short, ending with brutal grief and loss, just twists the knife even further. These men, who spent their entire adult lives defined by their relationship and collaboration, who were moving through what should have been the first of many conflicts in their partnership, were robbed of any opportunity to make up and start again. The tragic reality of their unfinished, unrequited, unresolved love story is enough to shatter our hearts.

Their story is a story of fate, of poetry, of signs and of love. We know their story because it is our story. It reflects life: the highs, the lows, the love, the loss… it’s all there. It’s why I have been in love with this band for my entire life, it’s why I continue to fall in love with them over and over and over again.

"Beatles songs still speak to us so directly because they are vehicles for the transmission of feelings too powerful for normal speech. Mr. Lennon and Mr. McCartney were intense young men who grew up in an era before men were encouraged to speak about their feelings, either in therapy or to one another. They gained their emotional education from music, especially the music of Black artists like Smokey Robinson, Arthur Alexander and the Shirelles. Almost everything they felt — and they felt a lot — was poured into music, including their feelings about each other."

"In 'I Know (I Know),' Mr. Lennon sings, 'Today, I love you more than yesterday,' over a riff based on their last direct songwriting collaboration, 'I’ve Got a Feeling.'"
