Summary: ohn Lennon and Paul McCartney knew each other for twenty-three years, from 1957 to 1980. This book is the myth-shattering biography of a relationship that changed the cultural history of the world. The Beatles shook the world to its core in the 1960's and, to this day, new generations continue to fall in love with their songs and their story. At the heart of this phenomenon lies the dynamic between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Few other musical partnerships have been rooted in such a deep, intense and complicated personal relationship. John and Paul's relationship was defined by its complexity: compulsive, tender and tempestuous; full of longing, driven by jealousy. Like the band, their relationship was always in motion, never in equilibrium for long. John & Paul traces its twists and turns and reveals how these shifts manifested themselves in the music. The two of them shared a private language, rooted in the stories, comedy and songs they both loved as teenagers, and later, in the lyrics of Beatles songs. In John & Paul, acclaimed writer Ian Leslie uses the songs they wrote to trace the shared journey of these two compelling men before, during, and after The Beatles. Drawing on recently released footage and recordings, Leslie offers us an intimate and insightful new look at two of the greatest icons in music history, and rich insights into the nature of creativity, collaboration, and human intimacy

Come go with me
I lost my little girl
What'd I say
Will you love me tomorrow
Besame mucho
Till there was you
Please please me
She loves you

Ticket to ride
Yesterday
We can work it out
In my life
Tomorrow never knows
Eleanor Rigby
Here, there and everywhere
Strawberry fields forever
Penny Lane
A day in the life
Getting better
I am the walrus
Lady Madonna
Yer blues
Look at me
Hey Jude
Julia
Martha my dear
Get back
Two of us
Don't let me down
The ballad of John and Yoko
Oh! Darling
The end
God
How do you sleep?
Dear friend
Jealous guy

I saw her standing there
Coming up
