INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Cast Diaries, Episode 5

““…external forces necessitated some extraordinary hostility, but through all the bullshit, all the smoke and fire of public scrutiny, John loved Paul, and in his own way, Paul loved John. John was the more sensitive of the two, so he would be the first to make up. But no matter what happened, too much had gone down. And there was a genuine feeling between them, an affection that even public disharmony could not stop.””

Wait a minute. Where are people getting that the balcony monologue by Sam was shot in a single fucking take and was nearly cut??? Like are you kidding me??? He really did THAT all in one take?! I'm foaming and frothing at the mouth. I-

Do think the funniest possible reaction from Louis upon finding out Daniel and Armand are a thing is schadenfreude. I mean canonically he’s not above delighting a little in Daniel’s suffering. He’s like well well how the turn tables… had to put up with all that shit from Daniel during the interview about how his boyfriend sucked and was a liar and a control freak and Louis was a fool for staying with him, etc etc but ohhhhh look who’s the fool now. Isn’t that funny, Daniel? Isn’t it funny how things work out sometimes? Right, Daniel? And meanwhile Daniel has never regretted the whole “he and Louis can now read each other’s minds” thing more

Q: Did you see The Beatles differently from John Lennon? Paul: Hmm. I don’t think so. We all had a common vision, at least in the early days. Then everyone seemed to think that we wanted to go in different directions. But I’m not even sure that’s true. The thing about me and John is that we were different, but we weren’t that different. I think Linda put her finger on it when she said me and John were like mirror images of each other. Even down to how we started writing together, facing each other, eyeball to eyeball, exactly like looking in the mirror. That’s how songs like ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand" were written. Q: You were like two sides of the same person? Paul: Well said. But the sides would switch. On the surface, I was very easy-going, always accommodating. That came easy to me. That’s how I’d been brought up. But, at certain times, I would very much be the hard man of the duo. At certain moments, I could bite. But that would be when no one outside the group was watching. John would allow me to take that role because it enabled him to drop his guard and be vulnerable. On the surface, he was this hard, witty guy, always on hand with a cutting witticism. He appeared caustic, even cruel at times. But really he was very soft. John was very insecure. He carried a lot of that from his upbringing, what with his father leaving when he was five. Then, of course, we’d both lost our mothers so we had that in common. Ultimately, we were equals. All The Beatles were equals. If things got too deep, Ringo would crack a one-liner and that kept us on a level. If things were getting too sentimental, John would harden it up. If John was getting too hostile, I’d soften it down. Then George was always on hand with his own kind of unique wisdom.

No Words by Paul McCartney. “It’s only me. I love you”

This song was released in 1973, it’s on the brilliant Band on The Run album. What i love about this song is that it doesn’t make us think maybe it’s for John Lennon, it IS for John Lennon, no doubt. Keep in mind two main points that are obvious:

-  All You Need Is Love, lyrics by John;

- This quote:  “One of my great memories of John was when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second, and he lowered his glasses and he said, ‘It’s only me’ and then he put his glasses back on again.  To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the façade, the armour, which I loved as well, like anyone else. But it was wonderful when he let the visor down and you’d just see the John Lennon that he was frightened to reveal to the world.“  (Paul McCartney,  Come Together: Lennon & McCartney in the Seventies by Richard White, 2016). Song “No Words” Lyrics: You want to give your love away And end up giving nothing I’m not surprised, that your black eyes are gazing You say that love is everything And what we need the most of I wish you knew, that’s just how true my love was No words for my love You’re burning love, sweet burning love It’s deep inside, You mustn’t hide, your burning love Sweet burning love, your burning love You want to turn your head away And someone’s thinking of you I wish you’d see, it’s only me, I love you No words for my love By Paul Mccartney
