We thought’s we’d start with a controversial entry. ‘Hey Jude’ is certainly one of the most adored Beatles songs of all time. It is rich with hope and comfort, something McCartney claimed he instilled in the song because of its intended recipient — Julian Lennon. His father and mother were enduring a messy divorce as John Lennon continued to pursue...
After the more than acrimonious split between The Beatles, it’s fair to say that Paul McCartney felt like he was on the outside. In fact, judging by ‘Man We Was Lonely’, it seems as though the alienation of Macca began back when The Beatles were still going. The song was composed during the group’s fractious end but not given a release until the 19...
‘Man We Was Lonely’ may have been McCartney’s opening statement on The Beatles but his next course of rhetoric was designed to hurt John Lennon directly. Things don’t get more direct than ‘Too Many People’ from McCarney’s album RAM. Starting by covertly telling Lennon to ‘piss off’ with the phrase “piece of cake,” McCartney writes this song as a bo...
Ram had another surprise up its sleeve as well. The album is arguably one of Paul McCartney’s greatest, including The Beatles, and its because it offers up a mercurial musician at his most vulnerable. Let there be no doubt, in 1971, McCartney was very vulnerable indeed. Largely seen as the reason the band broke up, he and Linda McCartney escaped Lo...
Though McCartney’s first two solo efforts had been drenched in The Beatles’ fraught tension and the explosive resentment of McCartney, the first Wings album also pointed back at the Fab Four. ‘Dear Friend’ is perhaps the most obviously written about Lennon on our list. Lennon had found some success with the Plastic Ono Band, and it seemed as though...
Written in response to ‘Cold Turkey’, ‘Let Me Roll It’ is a clear song written for, if not about, John Lennon. While Lennon’s song was staunch and defiantly brutal about relinquishing drugs, Macca’s was intended as a slight jibe towards that motif. But it didn’t land well with critics. McCartney and Wings released ‘Let Me Roll It’ in 1973 as a B-si...
Following John Lennon’s return to the abstract wilderness of fatherhood, a return that saw him take a break from making music, he and McCartney managed to patch things up and again begin a friendship. The dup saw each other quite regularly and even nearly reunited the band one night in New York City. During this brief respite, McCartney managed to ...
There’s no track more obviously written for, and in admiration of, John Lennon on this list than ‘Here Today’. Written in tribute to his friend after Lennon’s shocking murder rin 1980, the song sees McCartney pose his now deceased friend a series of questions, answering them the way he thought John would have. It is a truly heart-wrenching song tha...
