John and Paul loved to sing “Baby’s in Black” together, sharing a microphone onstage, but not “Yes It Is,” which came a few months later and got released as the B-side of “Ticket to Ride.” “Baby’s in Black” was one of the many songs they wrote on tour in hotels, eyeball to eyeball, singing into each other’s mouths. Something “Baby’s in Black” and “Yes It Is” have in common: neither one is a boy singing alone. These are harmony ballads, untranslatable to a solo voice. They’re songs about saying no to life, no to the future, yet they don’t begin until the singers say yes to each other. – Rob Sheffield, Dreaming the Beatles

…[John and Paul] are so totally in sync that they carry that through to a natural break, and you see John glancing to his side with this look of just fantastic joy, like they’ve just done something together that they never could have done on their own. - Joshua Wolf Shenk

Four hearts linked by the same arrow.

JOHN: Goodnight, Paul. PAUL: Say goodnight, John. JOHN: Goodnight, Paul. PAUL: *laughs* Goodnight, John.
