John & Paul : a love story in songs  Cover Image Book Book

John & Paul : a love story in songs / Ian Leslie.

Leslie, Ian, 1972- (author.).

Summary:

"The Beatles shook the world to its core in the 1960s 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, riven by jealousy. ... [This book] 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, ... Leslie uses the songs they wrote to trace the shared journey of these two ... men before, during, and after The Beatles"-- Provided by publisher.
