    Summary

    John was accustomed to fleeting crushes; he always let them pass. But this one? She was different than all the rest: Paula McCartney, John’s new fixation.

    Maybe the reason why she was different was that she wasn’t who John thought she was.

    Summary

    “See ya at the Derby, lads,” Paul says as he puts on his tweed coat, which fits him annoyingly well (and also hides his arse annoyingly well). “Can’t wait for Goodison Park to welcome you back.”
    “Me neither,” John purrs, and chuckles at George’s rude hand gesture as the two Evertonians take their leave.
    Ringo’s not chuckling. He’s busy wiping his pants with napkins, glaring at John all the while. “The fuck was that all about?” he demands.
    That means it’s game on, John thinks, picturing Paul McCartney’s face in his mind and imagining how pretty it’s gonna look in defeat.

    He can’t wait for the Merseyside Derby.

    In the season of 1960-61, John Lennon and Paul McCartney are both made captains of rival football clubs, Liverpool and Everton, making them natural enemies.
    But it's difficult to remember that, as with every encounter they grow more and more fascinated with each other.

    Summary

    They were almost one organism, John-and-Paul, gravitating towards each other no matter where they were, sharing their own language of bumping shoulders and secret smiles and laughter, entire conversations passing through mere moments of eye contact between the two of them. Minds and bodies in perfect sync. They seemed to live in their own plane of existence, somewhere neither Brian nor little George could ever dream of inhabiting.
    Brian watched in the rear view as Paul leaned against John’s side, yawning, jacket wrapped around his shoulders like a blanket. Watched as his head dropped down to John’s shoulder, his eyes slipped shut. There was something there, some special, unspoken trust. Brian wasn’t quite sure what to call it yet. Friendship felt too weak.

    Brian Epstein observes John, Paul, and George in the early days of the band.

    Summary

    I realized something as I was listening to "Now and Then." We use the phrase to mean something that is occasional or once in a while, but it really doesn't mean that at all.

    Now...We live in "now." Now is constant, it is always present. We live in it. There is the second after and the second before, but now is now.

    And Then...what comes next. It's continuous, it goes on forever.

    Then...used to talk about the past. But the past is simply made of endless moments that were once nows.

     

     

    Now and Then really means all of the time. So...

     

     

    When John sings that he misses Paul now and then, he's saying that he misses Paul all of the time.

    When John sings now and then I want you to be there for me, he's saying he wants Paul there all of the time.

    When John sings now and then I love you, he's telling Paul he loves him all of the time.

    When John told Paul to think of me now and then, he was telling Paul to think of him all of the time.

    Hamburg isn't a big enough place to hold crevices of escape for John and Paul. They are trapped here, chained to the clubs and bars around them, their emotions, and ultimately themselves.

    Summary

    John Lennon, busy scraping by while working at a record shop (one he happened to be rather fond of), felt like he was so, so close to finally making a break in the music industry with his closest lad - Paul McCartney. Of course, there were others he could credit here and there, but it was him and Paul that were the ones busying themselves with songwriting.

    They were the ones spending every feasible, waking moment together just to correct one another on the smallest detail of a lyric.

    They were the ones pressing their knees together, so close their breaths mixed as they tuned their instruments by ear.

    They were the reason John felt even slightly capable of seeing a possible future ahead of him while everything behind him couldn't get shaken off.
