一些细碎的片段和信息。记录下来。像拼图一样。

万万没想到一部《波西米亚狂想曲》竟然会把我按回mclennon的坑底。

也不完全算CP向吧。毕竟记的都是现实。所以就也用团tag啦。

【1】据说John最后被送到医院抢救的时候，医院放的就是《All My Loving》. 而这首的主唱是Paul. 所以，John在生命最后的时刻听到的也许是Paul的歌声。

「close your eyes and i'll kiss you,闭上你的眼睛，我会吻你

Tomorrow I'll miss you; 明天，我会想念你

Remember I'll always be true. 记住，我永远都是真心的

And then while I'm away, 当我身在远方

I'll write home every day, 我每天都会写信回家

And I'll send all my loving to you.将我所有的爱都献给你」

【2】Paul曾经说过会在Youtube看剪辑的Mclennon视频来提醒自己他们当初有多好。

【3】虫团解散后Wings的70s巡演，能找到的所有8个版本的《Call Me Back Again》都能听到Paul小声地在喊"John"。

B站av25164005

所以Live版的歌词是

「Because your number brought me joy.

I've called your name,John, every night since then.

But I ain't never, no no no, never heard you calling me.」

但是专《Venus and Mars》里面的版本没有。

76年巡演前Paul问了John要不要去看但是John回绝了。但是Wings出了专他还是会听。

所以，John可能从来不知道Paul当着千万人的面，呼唤过他的名字。

【4】以下是一些访谈摘录:

It’s not we didn’t like each other. I’ve compared it to a marriage a million times and I hope it’s understandable for people who aren’t married, or anyone in a relationship. It was a long relationship. It started many, many years before the American public or the English public for that matter knew us. (John Lennon)

直球侬。

And the difference with working with John... well, there's nothing like John, so everything differs from John. I could go on for hours, but that's the explanation. (Paul McCartney)

直球泡。

I think it was like he was married to Paul. And now he was married to me so it was like a situation that he didn’t feel like he wanted to go back. John had a lot of respect for Paul and, of course, love. (Yoko Ono)

I used to always say to him, ‘I swear, I think you’re a closeted fag sometimes…’, because John would tell me ‘You know why I like you? You look like a bloke in drag, darling.’ (Yoko Ono)

小野洋子这两条连起来看真的是...

I idolized John. He was the big guy in the chip shop. I was the little guy. As I matured and grew up, I started sharing in things with him. I got up to his level. I wrote songs as he did and sometimes they were as good as his. We grew to be equals. (Paul McCartney)

结合第3条。《Call Me Back Again》说的大概就是少年泡在最初对侬近似偶像般崇拜憧憬的心情吧。

“I said to [Paul], ‘For what it’s worth I just want you to know that John really loved you,’” said May Pang. “He said, ‘Oh, I know that.’ Then I said, ‘You know, we were going to come down to New Orleans because he wanted to write with you again.’ Paul looked at me and said, ‘Oh yeah … that would have been great.’ I could tell he thought I was just being nice.” Pang went on to say that McCartney seemed not to want to entertain the thought, perhaps because the idea of such a missed opportunity was too painful. A year later, however, at McCartney’s annual Buddy Holly tribute party in New York, the former Beatle rushed over to Pang as she was talking with Linda McCartney. “Tell her!” McCartney said. “Tell me what?” said Pang. “One of Derek Taylor’s postcards from John fell into our hands,” McCartney said. “John had written, ‘Thinking of visiting the Macs in New Orleans.’” The postcard was evidence to McCartney that Lennon had wanted, perhaps only briefly, to try and rekindle the greatest songwriting partnership of the century. (May Pang)

庞小姐的转述。Paul直到最后都想要确认John是否想要尝试和他重归旧好一起写歌。
在有证据之前，他甚至都不敢去想这样的可能。
在拿到了John亲笔写的明信片确认之后，Paul又激动又难过。

而他们一起写曲子是怎么样的呢？John是这么说的:

We wrote a lot of stuff together, one on one, eyeball to eyeball. Like in 'I Want To Hold Your Hand,' I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had, 'Oh you-u-u/ got that something...' And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it!' I said, 'Do that again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that — both playing into each other's noses. (John Lennon)

还记得Paul的Yesterday初登场最后John恶作剧送的花吗？

重温的时候看着John恶作剧成功和只拿着花柄的Paul相视一笑时，一条弹幕击中了我的泪点:

泡儿，你要习惯。

以后再没有那样的人一起写曲子了，也再没有那样的人来送花了。

关于侬是泡的颜粉这件事。

侬对泡近乎指名道姓的歌《How do you sleep》里唱"a pretty face may last a day or two."

Harry Nilson曾经提到John对他说过，"我就和其他所有人一样，Harry, 我因为Paul的长相而陷落了。"

He spoke the way James Joyce wrote. And to me he was the Beatles. He was always the spark. In a late wee-hour-of-the-morning talk, he once told me: 'I'm just like everybody else, Harry, I fell for Paul's looks. (Harry Nillson)

而Paul说过当他第一次听到这首歌的时候，就打算写一首《Quite Well, thank you.》(不过泡你还记得你们其实有《golden slumber》这首歌吗w)

而在很早很早的时候，Paul和John一起去电台节目，Johm称呼Paul为"pretty Paulin"。所以说侬对泡的"pretty"真的是念念不忘啊。

试问谁能不喜欢少年泡的pretty face呢。

关于初见，泡说自己是个chubby的school boy， 但是侬却说第一次见面他就觉得Paul像猫王。

关键是，那个时候侬最喜欢的就是猫王。

Emmm...怎么说呢。泡儿的chubby school boy时期是有照片的，我作为泡的颜粉也得摸着良心说确实挺chubby，滤镜真心厚不过约翰列侬朋友。

所以，约翰★颜控★列侬，也许根本就不是主要因为Paul吉他弹得好才让泡进乐队的(。

值得一提的是，在写完这首歌的两年之后，John在采访中说，他当初是想写Paul,结果回过头来看竟然写的是自己。

这时候我们再来回顾一下Linda的这段话:

They weren’t opposites. They were so alike and they, you know, the sad thing is that John isn’t with us anymore and who knows what would’ve happened and the friendship... You know, it’s the press; you read about history and you know it’s not really what really went on and that’s why I’m glad I got them smiling and I got to show people that, you know, they loved each other. They were friends way before I met Paul, they were friends and carried on being friends. It’s deeper than any of us will ever know. But, you know, it’s much easier to dismiss it. (Linda McCartney)

暴风哭泣。

明明双箭头，拥抱在一起不好吗？！
非要吵架。
还当着全世界的面吵架。
吵完还后悔。
后悔还嘴硬。

关于这一点，John是这么说的:

If I can't fight with my best friend, who can I fight with? (John Lennon)

好吧好吧～

关于"选你爸还是选我"这件事。

Paul的妈妈在Paul大概14岁的时候因为乳腺癌去世(Linda也是因为这个病)，而曾经当过音乐人的父亲对Paul来说就很重要。当初还没成名的时候Paul因为父亲认为他需要一个稳定的工作所以想退团，John是这么说的:

But Paul would always give in to his dad. His dad told him to get a job, he fucking dropped the group and started working on the fucking lorries, saying, 'I need a steady career.' We couldn't believe it, so I said to him - my Aunt Mimi reminded me of this the other night - he rang up and said that he'd got this job and couldn't come to the group. So I told him on the phone, 'Either come or you're out.' So he had to make a decision between me and his dad then, and he chose me. (John Lennon)

HE CHOSE ME. 读到这句的时候我都能想象得到John是用怎样轻快又得意的语调说出这句话的:看吧，幸好你选了我，我们才会有Beatles！

而关于Paul的才华，虽然后期John死鸭子嘴硬嘲他只会写"Silly love songs", 但他也这么评价过:

I was saying to someone the other day, there’s only two artists I’ve worked with for more than a one night stand, as it were.  That’s Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. I think that’s a pretty damn good choice...Now George came through Paul and Ringo came through George although, of course, I had a say in where they came from. But the only, the person I actually picked as my partner, who I had recognised had talent and I could get on with, was Paul. Now, 12 or however many years later I met Yoko. I had the same feeling. It was a different feel but I had the same feeling. So I think as a talent scout I’ve done pretty damn well. (John Lennon)

好叭。约翰列侬-一位成功的星探。
而他津津乐道的职业生涯中最成功的作品是:
保罗★麦卡特尼。

在还籍籍无名的时候，两个人在小酒吧唱歌，John一位爱丁堡的富人亲戚给了他100英镑，两个人决定去西班牙，然后搭了便车出了利物浦，最后却到了巴黎。

两个人在巴黎呆了一阵子，剪了经典的披头士发型回了利物浦。

后来Paul回忆说那时候他爱喝香蕉奶昔，John就给他买了很多香蕉奶昔，Paul说"他那时候一定非常非常爱我才给我买了那么多香蕉奶昔"。

呜。这篇记录的标题我想改成【香蕉奶昔】了。
