| Paul McCartney – No Words Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I'm glad i am not the only one that thinks this is basically a love song to John Lennon. Even though this is one of the few Wings songs co-credited to Denny Laine, i think the lyrics are total McCartney, and truly an intimate secret message to Lennon. Although McCartney and Lennon had both traded cutting jabs in songs for a few years on their early solo albums, i think this is McCartney's telling John he loves him and wants to get over the hate and fighting--and way before John's death and the obvious "Here Today" acknowledgements, as BandOnTtheRun was recorded in "73. By 1974, Paul and John were starting to be friendly again (see "A Toot & A Snore in '74" as John and Paul jams with Stevie Wonder). The first line, "You Say That Love Is Everything And What We Need The Most Of" is so clearly a reference to "All You Need Is Love" and the YOU that the song is about can then only be John. The last line, "I wish you'd see, Its only me, I love you" was the secret message to John, as only they would have known the special meaning. McCartney during interview much later: “Realizing he had hurt me with one of his comments, John lowered his granny glasses and peeking out from behind them said gently ‘It’s only me.’” |
