john lennon's part, the main, "free as a bird, home and dry" bit is an expression of lennons happiness with his relaxed new lifestyle as being a househusband and a father to sean. the bit that paul added "whatever happened to..." is what nails the song for me. its about missing lennon and the special relationship shared by the 'fabfour' during the bealteyears. the song seems really sad, but its kind of ment to be peaceful...happy even. just the whole lennon from beyond the grave thing makes it haunting.
