Paul & Linda McCartney at a party with Ringo & Maureen Starkey, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono, the party was for "The Magic Christian", May 4th, 1969.
❝ She was a very fun person to be with, very amusing and very witty. She had a great take on life, and of course she was very artistic. There wasn't a lot of sadness about her at all. She was an upbeat lady. ❞
- Paul McCartney talking about Linda.
When all of the clocks have run down
All over the world
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves
We'll be the lovers that never were
For as long as the sun shines out of somebody's ass
I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams
Paul McCartney - The Lovers That Never Were
John Lennon be like “I know you guys need money from our shows but I’m gonna cancel them for like two weeks anyways and run away with my boy bestie through Paris where we’re gonna share a single sized bed, get matching haircuts, and I’m gonna “let him have all the banana milkshakes he wants” if you catch my drift, haha. see ya!”
Hello! Bit late to ask this but what are your fave spooky beatles fic?
It's never too late! Here are some spooky Beatles fics I enjoyed:
Turn Me On Dead Man by @aquarianshift. Paul is different. John is sure. (Go read this amazing story!) Go Where You're Going To by @louiselux. 1965. John and George take acid and hold a séance to speak to Julia. A story about ghosts and triangles and seeing vs. believing.
To Nobody by @eveepe. John's ghost visits Paul and Linda.
archangel by endcoda. 1967. Paul thinks he is possessed by the Devil.
How Do We Sleep At Night? by @dailyhowl. "Paul is swallowed by a painting, John abandons ship." Two nightmares.
love like ghosts by @backbenttulips. Yoko, John, and the ghost of Paul. A Rebecca AU.
vide noir by @backbenttulips. "Under the influence of a dangerous new drug, John disappears - and Paul is the only one willing to go through the looking glass to find him."
Ask the Glass by @unchaineddaisychain. On the uses of a Ouija board. From the prank séance aboard the Royal Iris to Paul's bedroom, this spooky and hot story has to be experienced to be believed. Just read it. It's John and Paul at their quintessential best (no spoilers...')
Mourning Moon by @with-eyes-closed. Another beautiful take on the Ouija board incident: "George spells Paul's mother's name as a joke on a ouija board, and John and Paul connect in the aftermath." Read this before or after "Ask the Glass" and be amazed by how two very different but equally great writers can take the same idea very different places.
that gum you like is going to come back in style by (@stargiirl27). Spooky times during the Get Back Sessions. Twin Peaks crossover with George at the center; J/P/G/R.
I hope you find something here you enjoy, anon!
That's my favorite...
okay i'm high as fuck right now and have been rewinding Paul saying "What's the matter John, love, Blue Meanies?" at the end of Yellow Submarine over and over. also right after the way they make direct eye contact and paul instantly breaks after seeing johns face...
'Tightrope' - The Greatest Showman soundtrack
'Far Longer Than Forever' - The Swan Princess soundtrack
'Evermore' - Beauty and The Beast soundtrack
After much consideration, I felt that these three songs send me into a coma more so than the others in my playlist!
Felt like sharing :))

just listened to ‘now and then’ for the first time in months because of the grammys and thinking about Paul singing to dead John over 40 years ago and John in 1980 basically implying to Paul ‘I miss you and I want to start ‘us’ again’ and how he was never given the chance and yes Paul has moved on but in some way he never will
40ish John is asking I love you. i miss you, will you be there for me , will you return to me?
and 80 ish Paul is saying yes, yes i love you. I would’ve. I would’ve.
and john can never answer
