Exactly!! Who else wrote " Yesterday", and Sgt. Pepper was all you had ? Yeah, thats about Bob Hope!! John had an ego from adolescence. He was jealous of Paul's ease of songwriting. He attacked Paul on writing "Silly Love Songs". The comment hurt Paul so HE retaliated by writing the song " Silly Love Songs " . Paul wrote the more romantic songs in the Beatles. John dismissed the early Beatles songs as throw aways and meaningless! He later tells George Martin he wanted to re record all the songs he sung. John flip flopped his statements frequently. He is doing right now! Paul has stated many times that the song How Do You Sleep really hurt his feelings. Alan Klein stated the lyric about Yesterday was all you did. In John's documentary, he is on video telling Klein that was a great line, and he and Harrison had a good laugh. John told the engineer to keep the line in the song. So , I cry bullshit on John. He says he and Paul are OK. Yeah, now! By this time they resolved things, but the distance was still there. Thats around the time John was killed. John's last words to Paul was " Think of me now and then " . This is spooky as if he knew death was imminent. I would hope that now John's issues are resolved and he would " get back " to singing the Beatles early style, George and John are just waiting for the 2 Brothers to join them and play for all in heaven!
@@gvgv3515 Both of you guys are dumb af. He's talking about Paul in the song but in reality he was going through a shit period in his life. He was bitter and resentful of the beatles. The song was written in 1971, not too long after the band had split. He was tired of it all. This interview is from 1975. He was much more reflective at this point.
I bet the music wouldn't have had the same Beatles impact. They had been split up for too long. There's something to be said for momentum and lack thereof.
@@nunyafunyuns straight up nah. they can all write and produce bangers independent of the others. so all of them coming back together after having a decade experience with eachother. i agree with Drsimmonsphd and his nah
We’re you listening? That song is Paul’s but he’s talking about himself or revealing himself when he talks about Paul’s song. About his bitterness, which we all have, and about his points of view. He knows best what it’s about. Then again, you can make it about whatever you want.
@Jordan Peters He was definitely pissed at Paul. Have you seen the clip of John trying to record this song with Phil Spector? He clearly had some negative emotions towards Paul, but that's ok. We're all only human.
John would only care about hurting the people he truly loves, even brotherly love to Paul. The stories that Paul shares of how he and John talk often on phone are nice, then John was sadly murdered. I kind of think that They would have gotten together for a song or two if possible.
He wrote it about Paul but in this clip he is saying that looking back it’s more about himself and his feelings, not about someone else’s bad qualities, but more about who he was at that time and what led him to feel that way. This clip makes me feels nice about the Beatles.
John and Paul were not on I'll terms, but how do you sleep was written because John was mad at Paul, sgt pepper really caught you by surprise is towards all of the media and assholes doubting the Beatles after their hiatus and in reality they were working on that masterpiece, thats a jab at them, then yesterday was all you had an stuff was about Paul because behind John's back Paul went to the press about the Beatles breakup which infuriated John whom didn't want it to end for the fans and us alike, in the end John and Paul and George and Ringo just wanted us to be happy, and to pursue the main message of the Beatles whole theme, Love, Embracing Love, Real Love
i know people are quoting lyrics misunderstand what hes saying, emotionally his songs tended to be about himself even if he didn't realise they were at the time of writing it - it's the exact same story with the song Help! The lyrics may not apply directly to him, and the song *is* in retaliation, but let's be real john hated himself more than he could hate paul. taking lyrics too literally, just like any poetry or story, will likely have you missing massive subtext and media literacy on every level.
it's great how you can make up any old nonsense later on to justify things. everybody knows this song is about Paul it's not about John and he knows it too he's just trying to excuse himself " _the only thing you done was yesterday_ "
@@duruuzun1355there is actually a photo of him (and the rest of the beatles) in the 60s wearing makeup they put on themselves. John had killer eyeliner 😂
@ he owned up for years. He’s said that all his songs are about him for a long time and that’s the truth. They are all reflections of how he’s feeling at the time. The typical listener only hears the literal. Brains naturally try to make things make sense for them in the easiest possible way. Conceptually every song he writes is his perspective so it’s impossible for any songwriter to write beyond what’s they themselves feel. That’s on a macro scale. On a granular level John felt his ire in that song, while mentioning Paul iconography, were really about his own human emotions. They were close as brothers and family is complex. He was certainly owning up, he printed his lyrics on his album and gave candid interviews at the time. He then later reflected and realized it was about him. I know I have said nasty stuff that was a cover for my own feelings.
Read those lyrics and tell me how it could've been about someone other than Paul.

He's not saying the song wasnt about Paul, he is saying he could have dissed anybody on the song, it didnt have to be paul
@@gvgv3515 this is a solid 5 years before he was killed. "He knew death was eminent"
Ok 😊
“The only thing you done was Yesterday” i think this says it all 😂🤣
He also said those freaks were right Paul is dead.
Lennon gaslighting the shit out of everybody.
😂
John and Paul
Paul and John
they are forever the best
Sad thing is they probably would have reunited at some point and gave us another album

@@nunyafunyuns nah
@@Drsimmonsphd666 no?
they were separate band most of their songs at the end of were written independently recorded
@@nunyafunyuns straight up nah. they can all write and produce bangers independent of the others. so all of them coming back together after having a decade experience with eachother. i agree with Drsimmonsphd and his nah
I luv John ! Miss him so much.
All the bitterness between the Beatles was created from outside
It's 100% about Paul. He's backtracking.
Yeah, in an earlier interview, 1971, he said it was a response to the Ram album.
Omg. Dont you understand what hes saying? Hes talking about projection.
@@stephen3654 You okay? 😆
@@rachelxtc well I will be if you tell me you get it now? it's been some months you've gotten older and hopefully wiser?
@@stephen3654 Are you John who just came back from the dead?
God I miss having John in the world.
John Lennon's intellect and honesty were on another level or different level to any other..
"The only thing you done was ' Yesterday'
and since you've gone, you're just 'Another Day'.
About Paul; no doubt !

Regardless..it is a great moody track !
Don't just listen..hear what he says.
Exactly, amazing how Is so selfawarness of the Situation and totally gets it, he say It like It was nothing but he es really spitting facts
John would only care about hurting the people he truly loves, even brotherly love to Paul. The stories that Paul shares of how he and John talk often on phone are nice, then John was sadly murdered. I kind of think that They would have gotten together for a song or two if possible.
I’m glad they ended on good terms.
Love you brither God bless much love amen
bottom line...it's a great song!

One can see that Lennon was so presbyopic. I would say at least +8d or +9d with strong astigmatism. Probably been with him since childhood.
Let it go!! The man was murdered.
Exactly !!!
People need to follow Jesus more and get a life !!!
It was an assassination!!!
I know this , but let it go now .
I miss the guy too .
the song is obv aimed at Paul but John's basically saying that it reveals more about him at that point than Paul

John has said he hated the Sgt. Pepper album. 🤔
He's full of it here... The song was absolutely aimed at Paul...
Lennon was actually very mean. He ran down Paul frequently. He also famously called Paul Simon “the singing dwarf”.
john looks really healthy here, post 65 he always looked really skinny
Wow how his looks have changed. 😂
i know people are quoting lyrics misunderstand what hes saying, emotionally his songs tended to be about himself even if he didn't realise they were at the time of writing it - it's the exact same story with the song Help!

That song couldn't be about anyone else but Faul. It's personalized if you listen!!
those freaks was right when they said you was dead
it's great how you can make up any old nonsense later on to justify things. everybody knows this song is about Paul it's not about John
and he knows it too he's just trying to excuse himself
" _the only thing you done was yesterday_ "
yeah ok John...cop out
" it's about me " . Ah . No john .
@thigh66. It could be stage make up.
Yes but about himself in that he was envious of Paul. He was being bitchy 😂
That’s not envy
I preferred Paul's songs. Lennon was better with the Beatles and Paul wrote better songs after.
Jealous
You’re jealous of John
@@jpetersgoyanks who's not jealous of John 😅
Was he wearing eyeliner, blush and lipstick? Heard things about John
lol no. he was feminine (and probably bi) but i think he would rather kill himself than put on any makeup😂
@@duruuzun1355there is actually a photo of him (and the rest of the beatles) in the 60s wearing makeup they put on themselves. John had killer eyeliner 😂
@@Greenballoffire yeahhhh i saw that photo after commenting this and was shocked lol. he slayed that eyeliner tho
I like John but he was freakin hypocrite!
John Lennon And kurt cobain everybody's favorite feminist junkies
He just sounds so egotistical
He's wearing makeup!!!
This looks fake.
I can tell you it's no fake because I saw it back in the 70s!
Liar
This wasnt about John or Paul. Its about Billy.
OH PLEASE, YOU MENTIONED YESTERDAY IN THAT SONG.
So what? He knows better than you
@@jpetersgoyanksJohn isn't owning up. The song was 100% aimed at Paul, naming his songs

No no John! It was completly about Paul!
