The Paul McCartney-Penned Beatles Song That Upset John Lennon
During the early years of The Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were nearly inseparable. As a songwriting duo, they crafted countless iconic tracks, and even when a song was primarily written by one of them, they still shared credit as a testament to their partnership. Their collaboration became a gold standard in the rock world, symbolizing unity and creative synergy.
However, as time passed and tensions within the band grew, the bond between Lennon and McCartney began to fray. They gradually drifted apart, both personally and professionally, often working on their own material. This distancing wasn’t openly discussed but seemed to be a mutual understanding.
Despite this silent agreement, one particular decision by McCartney in the studio reportedly struck a nerve with Lennon. The resulting song, while a masterpiece in its own right, left the late Beatle feeling hurt. Discover which track caused this rift and why it left such an impression on Lennon.
