Paul McCartney once said, "I worked with one of the greatest songwriters and one of the finest people in the world."
That wasn’t just nostalgia speaking. It was the truth wrapped in decades of music, memory, and something deeper — friendship shaped by brilliance.
Paul and John weren’t just a songwriting duo. They were a storm. A contradiction. A perfect imbalance that somehow made everything make sense.
"I think it was just the chemistry," Paul once said. "It was like I had a skill set and he had a skill set, and when you brought them together — it just kind of exploded."
There’s this unspoken reverence in Paul’s voice every time he talks about John. You can hear it — not in grandiose words, but in the pause that lingers after he says "John." The weight of knowing that genius isn’t always easy, but it’s unforgettable when you’ve seen it up close.
"He was the most brilliant man I ever knew. He could be unbearable — difficult, sharp — but when he turned that light on you, you felt like the most important person in the world."
They challenged each other. They annoyed each other. But they created magic no one else could. And Paul has never tried to recreate that. Because how do you replicate a once-in-a-lifetime?
He didn’t need to.
He lived it.
