Overwhelming

Here, there and everywhere.

ohhhh judas betrayed jesus with a kiss. ok i’ll do u one better. john lennon and paul mccartney morphed into one horrible tragic being that transformed western culture as we know it. paul has just been nominated for a grammy for a song that john wrote before he was murdered over forty years ago. john wanted a divorce and paul wanted to kill himself. they grew up together. they turned into each other. they weren’t gay they were something much much worse and whatever it was still lives and breathes in practically every song you’ve ever listened to. also they masturbated in the same room once or twice

The still point around which my world turns. Just like John’s did.

I have come to a conclusion in my life. I'm not a Beatlemaniac. I'm a McCartneymaniac or Paulmaniac. My focus is exclusively on him. The phase before, during and after the Beatles.

I know that's not how the fandom works and a lot of people will reject me. But, what can I do? The heart doesn't choose who you're going to get attached to.

Sorry other fans.

This is so future nostalgia coded. He DECIDED to do this. He made a conscious choice. What must it be like to live inside his mind?

If I had three wishes they would be for three conversations with him. The first would be on a cross country road trip. Playlists and chat. Can you imagine?

#i need to be heard, helped and held

there’s a lot of bullshit lennon/mccartney quotes out there, misattributed by biases in biographers or straight-up fabrications. but there’s also “if i was a girl”. there’s also “if he had been a woman”. there’s also “is this a self-portrait?” there’s “in bed.” there’s “maybe that would’ve satisfied it”. there’s “nothing to worry about”, and “life begins at 40”, and “it’s only me.” there’s “the emperor of eternity”. “he chose me.” “i’m still in love with you”. there’s “i can always deny that it was ever written about him.” so who cares

I beg your pardon.

I have a serious problem, I know.
