I'm sad that interviewers always ask about John but not about George :(
That's true
Spszk :(
Spszk I saw his show for the first time this summer. Greatest night of my life. Best song he played that night was “something” on a ukulele that George gave him after telling a good story about him. I loved it so much
True!
AWelsh Celt Pretty sure they did play 'Don't bother me' in a Hard Days Night.. not the Beatles themselves, but they were dancing to it in the club or whatever.
Imagine sitting in a movie theatre, watching Yesterday, and turning around to see Paul McCartney. I would start questioning my sanity.
See I thought he and Ringo were going to be in the film, even Google said they were part of the cast beforehand. A shame, but it makes a lot of sense as to why they weren't there.
LOL!!
The right thing to do? Smile, thank the universe for the crazy trip, and keep watching. (I'd imagine he'd be pretty interested in watching lol!)
I still find a certain cameo from that movie blasphemous and in bad taste...
I stood behind him and Heather in the line for the security xray at LAX once. He was disguised as a bag lady (I'm not making this up) but I recognized him. I caught his eye when he turned around once and he shot me a look like 'don't you dare say anything,' and I didn’t. Wish I had though.
I love that everyone is dead silent when he’s speaking
Cause everyone knows he's lying..he's the imposter..

“Yeah, I have a lot of dreams about John… and they’re always good.” It’s so genuinely comforting to hear him say that.

I will never forget this. I was watching the news coverage of an NYC march for gun control and Sir Paul McCartney was speaking to the reporter. The reporter asked him why he was interested in gun control in America and he said, "Well, in 1980 my best friend was killed right up the street, so....". Broke my heart to hear him say that.

@@ellonysman a drug without life altering consequences
Paul often talks about his dreams in interviews, meeting his mother, talking to John. He is a prolific dreamer. I find it touching when you look to Imagine "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"
I find dreams fascinating... and who's to say that when you dream of people that have passed, that it isn't really them somehow communicating with you? Maybe it's when we sleep that we are closer to what they are... just consciousness. Maybe it really is John in Paul's dreams. I find that both sad and beautifully comforting. John popping in to see how his friend's doing, and perhaps serving as inspiration for more music... which I think John would get a kick out of, because as he's currently corporeally challenged he can't write music here on Earth. What better way to keep making music then through his old friend and partner?

Imagine going 40 years without seeing your best friend except in dreams. Such a beautiful friendship. I know Paul thinks about him all the time.
Stop that nonsense, normie! "Sir Paul" (William) and Lennon were NOT friends. They were bandmates from late 1966-1970 and after the Beatles split up they were bitter music rivals. William did not grow up with Lennon in Liverpool. Stop applying JPM's relationship with Lennon on William. It doesn't work.

It's sad to think that Paul questioned whether he and John were friends. Having watched Get Back, they were clearly the very best of friends. That sort of deep, passionate friendship that you only experience a handful of times throughout your life.

@Joe Cosgrove Bingo!
I am glad "Get Back" from Peter Jackson gets the record straight for us and for Paul and Ringo about that time and how much love and respect they had for each other. I think it's really sad that they were talked into thinking they had a bad time with their break up coming along, it was such a creative time. Although I know Paul fell into a deep depression afterwards because he really wanted to keep the Beatles together and didn't know what to do without his mates. I remember him talking about how Linda helped him through this difficult time. BUT neither of them was a villain.
Everything was not as easy as you describe it. The breakup was a very bitter one. And "Sir Paul" was the one who did break up the band. And they were not friends with William, they had a professional relationship with him.
@@olskzeri2723 you’re wrong
@@olskzeri2723 John Lennon himself said that it was him, not Paul. He said, "I formed the Beatles and I dismantled the Beatles." And he did so by announcing at a meeting that he was leaving the band. Six montsh before that April interview with Paul where everyone said Paul announced it.

I noticed that, very poignant. Whenever it's an actor or another musician, people clap or cheer at every joke/story because naturally they're starstruck.

I can’t think of a name! Because of his genuine truthful expression of his experiences his audience has engaged with him and of course the fact that he’s a Beatle.
Great comment - yes, you’re absolutely right
He's certainly earned it like very few have.
its probably really conspicuous to him and feels gross.
It actually seemed Paul was the one breaking most of the jokes.

He was them almost every day for over 12 years so of course he'll dream about them.

But that was real Paul loosing his mom. "Sir Paul" (William) is not that Paul.
Paul had a good relationship with his father, John barely knew his. Met him once, I think.
Imagine having the honour of meeting this legend, i'm 21, they broker up 30 years before I was born! That just shows you what a massive impact they had, and still have to this very day!
He is not a legend. He is a fraud. "Sir Paul" is really a William.
I love how quiet the room is when he starts talking about his mother and John...You could hear a pin drop. Respect just fills the room. Love you Paul ❤️

That pic of John and Paul is special. Im sure whenever he sees it he chokes up They were brothers to the end.

I obviously told her she should and that didn’t know what she was missing out on … but can you imagine? Never having The Beatles in your life? It just left me dumbstruck.

Who wouldn't be? If you haven't seen it look up "Carpool Karaoke" with Paul McCartney - it is awesome! James Corden rides around Liverpool with Paul, singing his songs and hearing stories, and seeing the old places he would go, including the barbershop on Penny Lane, and the house that he lived in with his dad, where he and John wrote "She Loves You", and then they went to a pub where the Beatles used to play, and Paul put on a surprise show and people began pouring in off the streets. If I could have that day, I think I could die happy right after.
@Beatle Stories I loved when he told the story about his dad - especially the part about, "yeah, yeah, yeah" and him saying it was a nice song, but don't they have enough of these "Americanisms"? Couldn't they sing "yes, yes, yes" instead?
I would be, too. I was lucky enough to see him in concert in 2013. Most amazing night ever.
I am sure the whole of the audience felt that same and the people who work for CBS staff also
Abhinav Srivastava Yes!! Unbelievable. A super fan interviews a legend...in an extremely respectful way, asking extremely personal details, BUT Paul responds to his reverence. Love it.
It's hard to even fathom the impact this man has made on the world. His life's work has touched more lives than probably any other musician or band in history, and he still seems to be such a kind, gentle soul. The world would've been a far poorer place had the Beatles never existed, and I feel like we all (myself included) often take for granted just how big a place they have in our lives, whether directly, or via another one of our favourite bands. Thank you for everything, Sir Paul. Truly one of a kind. ❤️
I was born in 1958...Paul was 16 years old at the time. I hope he outlives me because I don't want to live in a world without Paul McCartney.
How quite the entire audience is I almost cried when he talked about his dreams about John fascinating interview ...
John’s death still feels surreal. As is the fact that Paul is almost twice the age of John when he died.
I almost cried, and I taught he would too, when he talked about his mum, and mine still alive.
I believe Paul to be a good and a caring person.
Yah, me too...
@@TorToroPorco the sad thing is John has been gone almost as long as he was here😥
He has definately gone out and "lived a good life". His mom is certainly very proud from above.
Could there be any mother more proud about her kid being able to bring so much joy to the world.
B Erulan maybe Stormy Daniels’s mom?
tyler massage 😂😂😂 LMFAO
definitely
I got a little tearful when he talked about losing his mother at 14.
With all the Paul McCartney interviews coming out, I find in watching them that he has a real authentic humility about himself that is refreshing. Most would have pushed back about being the villain between him & John but Paul was willing to say” maybe I was”? I’ve seen him react this way in other interviews where he is willing to look at himself honestly. I loved him as a 12 year old and I love him as a Grandmom! Lol❤️😊
But "Sir Paul" (William) is not the Paul you fell in love with.
I teared up watching this. I still dream about The Beatles occasionally - they were my childhood heros….and they are still my heros todau. RIP John & George. We love you Paul & Ringo. ☮️💟
You mean William and Ringo. Paul have been gone since late 1966.
"To lose your mum at 14...". God, when he referred to his mother as "mum" I got a bit emotional. When it comes to his mother, he's still that 14 year old boy.
JR must have been horrific,you always need your mum, but at that age you need them the most
So sad 😥
:C
The English call their mums "mum" all their lives.
If you call your mom mother there's something wrong
I live a 5 minutes walk from strawberry fields,it never ceases to amaze me how many visitors from all over the world, can be found wandering around Woolton as they pay homage to 4 lads from Liverpool. Makes me proud every day. #ynwa paul
Been there myself. Via slc ut usa.
I go there in 4 weeks,,,,when I was 14 years, in '64 , The Beatles, without Ringo , go for a boattour , trough the canals of Amsterdam, , i never forget,,,,and now i go to Liverpool....today i've got a lovely film, from mine grandchilderen, 2 , a boy, 4 a girl they are so lovely dancing, on , she loves you,,,so long ago,,,,and it seems sometime as yesterday,,😙
paul loves everton
Gethsemane, were you there when Paul drove around Liverpool with James Cordan? It was amazing, the effect Paul had on the stunned people he materialized in front of.
He lost his mom, Linda, John...he has endured so much besides fame and wealth...a beautiful soul and artist...thanks for the music and the inspiration Sir Paul...
William did not loose Mary McCartney at a young age.
The dream he is describing shows so much inner conflict and he doesn't even get into it. The bass being covered in tape could very likely be Paul's mentality about music since Lennon passed.
So sentimental.
"Sir Paul" is really a William.
Yes, very deep and interesting, but could you tell me some fun and obscure facts about Fallout 3, new vegas and 4?
goosegumps... I'm living in the same era that this legend... such a bless
I've often thought of how incredibly fortunate it was to be a young teenager when The Beatles burst onto the world stage and influenced us all... I was 14 when I heard my first Beatles song very late in 1963, not long after the horror of the assassination of President Kennedy.
"Goosegumps" might be the funniest typo ever.
@@Seantendo Lol
he looks so excited to talk about how he wrote 'yesterday' for the hundredth time, it's adorable (5:04)
"Sir Paul" (William) did NOT write "Yesterday", normie. He is just Another day as Lennon told us so many years ago.

RIP John Lennon. A great artist and musician and peace icon
Peace icon? He was a hypocrite, don't you think? He comes across as bitter and confrontational, then promotes peace.
@@marksevel7696 Ironic that you sound extremely bitter and confrontational!!
I find myself weeping a little, every time I see Paul McCartney being interviewed now. I hope he lives a very long life. It's wonderful to wittness him experiencing veneration.
Stop your weeping, it's all a farce
You find yourself weeping ? You need to go and get yourself a life
He will die next year
I cannot believe these awful, hateful responses. Shame on you who posted them. Paul McCartney gave us some of the best music ever created and has always promoted peace and love. Why do you say such hateful things? When he's gone he will have made the world a better place, can you say that about yourselves?
@@msoiseth3419 They're just attention seekers with nothing better to do. they probably don't mean what they say. They just do it to get a reaction.
I very often dream about my fiancé whom I lost in 1971... and still think about her EVERY day.
my condolences for your loss.. what a lovely thought though
So sorry.😟
funny thing is when i have a dream about being back home and i dream about my mum who died years ago i say to her hang on your suppose to be dead what are you doing here but she doesn't say anything back
@@nzfalcon8698 and then what happens?
@@-dale2051 not much really after that
"Hold on John, John hold on, it's gonna be alright..."
Such a lovely person, suffered so much loss. He and John loved each other like brothers. What a life.
No, John and PAUL loved each other like brothers. John and "Sir Paul" (William) didn't have the same connection.
My favourite part of the movie "Yesterday" was to see john lenon alive.
Shadow i cried 🥺
Heartbreaking
Must not know much about man then.
Yes!!
that broke my heart, I couldn’t stop crying, wish it was true, but’ll never be🥺
did i cry when he talked about john visiting him in his dreams ? definitely
He visits him in real life, he's alive.
Samsies
I cried too. Did you notice how Paul kept looking at that photo of the two happy wizards ready to spring the great gift of Abbey Road on the public?
SO DO I
I could honestly hear Paul talk about his career all day...
Why ? "Sir Paul" (William) mostly lies.
So weird that McCartney in this video was near 80 yet he still looks like he is only like 5 years older than Stephen Colbert who was in his late 50s, amazing. Hope him good health!
William was older than that when this was recorded.
Paul McCartney has seen basically all of the greatest musicians of the 20th and 21st century. But of all the people in the music industry, the only person to be his equal was John. The day they meet again will be sad for us but will be great for those above us. Love you forever Paul.
Equal? You must be kidding. Lennon and Harrison were legendary artists. This guy was just an entertainer--a legendary one though, who could write good entertainment-- but nothing like the timeless art of. Lennon and Harrison
@@johntao6822 I responded to this already, I don't know how someone can even say these words. Paul's work will be heard for generations to come, John and George are legends too, but there's no way in hell that Paul can be put behind them artistically, musically, lyrically, or in any other way. I'm more of a fan of John's work, because it suits my taste more, but Paul's work is just as good and timeless in his own style. But you can have your opinion, the rest of us will be waiting for you in the real world.
@@johntao6822 that is some serious stupidity what you said there
@@johntao6822 Comparing apples and oranges or Oliver with Stanley... they are different but equal and both needed the other to become something that's more than just the sum of all parts.
Have any of your listened to Roger Waters, at all?
No one: Interviewer:”so yesterday-“ Every Beatles fan:”NO-“ Paul:”so I woke up with this melody in my head-
I don't mind hearing it again...
How about this: STOP TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY AND LET IT BE AND START TALKING ABOUT STUFF THAT WE HAVEN’T HEARD YET, like Paul’s relationship with Denny Laine in Wings.
Stop whining. He's a legend and he's still with us.
*SO I WAS ASLEEP YKNOW*
For real, I actually love seeing every time he brings it up. It's clearly special to him.
3:01 ufffgf this broke my heart...... And the way he wants to keep looking at the photo at 3:18 why is this precious man hell bent on making me cry????
Tragedy can't break this man. First his mother and then Linda, still he is making such great music for us.
And John and George
@_gorillaz freakinc._ yeah
@Jeremy Spade you think you can make better music?
God i could just listen to him talk about music, john and his songs all day.
Such an interesting and insightful interview inside the mind of a legend!
Nooo .. Yesterday... Besameeeee besame muchooo...
I'd be honored if some McCartney & Colbert fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PENNY LANE and BLACKBIRD on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
So... heavy tho.. I need some positive too..
Truly. At first I was kind of annoyed that he audience wasn't cheering for him, but I'm actually glad they didn't because it allowed him to just talk and for us to take it in.
@Seito Stockman Yes its faul 👍
John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Greatest song writing duo ever.
@Jeremy Spade name a better duo? lol stop talking troll
I'm so glad Paul is still with us! Every day I find myself thinking of a Beatles song, different songs at different moments. Sound track of my youth.
“And after a couple weeks I decided it was mine” such a great line about songwriting and the whole experience
Will Sevy I write poetry. A couple of times I have gone back and read pieces I wrote a long time ago and wonder “who wrote that?” And why is it in my notebook? It will seem too good to be me! Mind you, it has only happened 2-3 times! The rest I remember! Lol
When he talks about his mom and John😢 Life is precious.
I saw Paul in concert here in Melbourne, two yrs ago, and he was brilliant. Did 44 songs, many Beatles and Wings, and most were long, like Sgt Peppers, White album, hey jude, very long, never took a break, not once, just played on and on, for bout 3 hours, i even rated his concert over the Stones, who i saw in 2014. Amazing talent, just brilliant.
I’m not an emotional person, but in the movie ‘Yesterday’, when John was discovered in a little cottage, I admit I was extremely moved.
I’m not crying you are
FlamQ Dbltap that’s awesome man I don’t mean to sound like one of those teens who are like “I was born in the wrong generation” but just to see The Beatles play live once would be such a fucking dream
THANATOS FANATICOS bro I was crying from the very start just wanted to act tough lol
molly tsanadis There is a song (by another band written by another artist) that Paul said that it made him cry the first time he heard it. Subsequently over the years it still causes his eyes to well up to this day whenever he hears it. It's amazing that someone who is responsible for authoring and composing either in part, or totality, some of the most beautiful songs ever written can be moved to tears by another master. That song lies across the pond somewhere in a place that God only knows.
Venom Q fucking awesome ❤️
Wow you know me so well 😏
Paul McCartney’s interviews still provide and feel like magic 🥰✌️
I'd be honored if some McCartney fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PENNY LANE and BLACKBIRD on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the dozens of genius compositions written by Sir Paul. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Not so in the UK!
Paul still looks wonderful. A true gentleman, Amazing musician
Paul is a beautiful soul. ❤️
"Sir Paul" (William) have a dark soul.
He is!❤️
The picture of John and Paul has always been my favourite and I wish there was a way of owning a copy. Their body language shows friendship and respect despite the band coming apart. Bless Linda for a capturing the moment.
Rob ert I’m pretty sure you can google that picture and print it out
Shoot amazon there’s all kinds of well made prints of classic pictures, movie scenes.
Linda doesn't get enough credit as a great photographer. Some of my favorite shots of music stars are by her.
