Watching Paul's face while he listens to "Beautful Boy" is very touching. Those 2 loved each other.

+Edward mulholland I think what moves Paul more is to think of Sean without his father. His son was a boy then too.

+elcaifo I still feel as Paul is still effected deeply that John was gone, and the music is just one of those touching songs that set the mood.

This show, called "Desert Island Discs", is a radio program where each week, a special guest, usually a celebrity or whatever, is asked to choose a) eight recordings (usually, but not always, music) b) a book, and c) a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a deserted island. They are asked that the final song they chose for their line-up be their favorite song. When Paul was on this show in 1982, the luxury item he chose was a guitar. The book he would bring with him would be a book of his wife Linda's photographs. And his final, favorite song out of the eight he chose, was not one of his own songs. It was not one of the Beatle's songs. Not even a rock n' roll song from his childhood. It was a song by his contemporary, his songwriting partner, his longtime friend, now sorely missed, John Lennon.

The most remarkable part is how he's not just singing along to the melody but adding to it, almost like he's writing once again with John. It's a brief but beautiful glimpse into how these two were simply made for each other as a songwriting duo.

@m.st.6657 4 жыл бұрын

Paul didn't think that the song was about himself. He was emotional just because it WAS ONE OF JOHN'S SONGS and listening to it made him cry even years later. Maybe he also thought about Sean and Julian losing their dad, having the fear that this could also happen to his own children.

"Every day, in every way is getting better and better" was written to Paul though. He had come to share Paul's optimism about life after the birth of Sean.

John is known for throwing little things in here and there that most people wouldn't catch like saying "Spread our wing" instead of spread our wings in the song Bless You. And he talked about his "Beast friends" treating Yoko badly on the Christmas Album. It's probably not a jab, that's why I said "could be". I just don't think "on the run" is that common an expression. But I'm sure he never dogged Paul to Sean.
