Paul McCartney Fanmix
Medium: Real People
Subject: Paul McCartney
Title: 1957 - 1973
Notes: A little bit slashy if you read into it/take it that way, but can be intepretated as friendship.
NOTES: I feel this fanmix can be enjoyed and interpretated on many different levels, depending on what kind of fan you are and how much you know about the relationships Paul had with the people around him, and also the general history of the Beatles. From the surface it's easy to understand, but for those fellow fans who know a bit more and like to dig deeper, the songs, their order and the lyrics I've chosen will make a lot more sense.
That said, you don't have to be a fan of Paul and John (in both a slash and friendship sense) to enjoy this fanmix. Or at least I don't think you do!
In any case, please enjoy this - it took me a good week or so of chopping and changing songs (alot of which didn't make this final "cut") and hunting for artists I hadn't heard before until I was happy with what you see here. I hope you like it!

Beginnings.
Another Believer - Rufus Wainright
Hello, I've got something to tell you
But it's crazy
I've got something to show you
So gimme just one more chance,
one more glance,
one more hand to hold
John.
Something to Talk About - Badly Drawn Boy
I've been dreaming,
all the things I've learnt about a boy,
who's leaving, nothing else to chance again
You've got to let me in or let me out
The fab four.
Alright - Supergrass
We are young, we get by
can't go mad, ain't got time
Sleep around if we like,
but we're alright
Are we like you, I can't be sure
We are strange in our world
Jane.
Golden Brown - The Stranglers
Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Never a frown with golden brown
Psychedelica.
Live for Today - Strange Fruit
Fly with the wind, and reach for the sky
A roller coaster ride, take me far away
Over the hills, for another today
Maharishi.
One Summer Dream - Electric Light Orchestra
Blue Mountains high and valley low,
I don't know which way I should go,
One Summer Dream, One Summer dream.
Warm summer breeze blows endlessly,
Touching the hearts of those who feel,
One Summer Dream, One Summer dream.
Get Back/Let it Be Sessions.
Eclipse - Pink Floyd
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
The Break Up/Linda.
Orange Sky - Alexi Murdoch
I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
I said brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
I said sister, here is what I know now
In your love, my salvation lies
And you know sister
My hear'ts been broken
When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by.
Linda/Moving on.
And She Was - Talking Heads
She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure where she's gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
Wings.
All Over the World - Strange Fruit
Crossing the borders of innocence
Breaking down the walls of time
All over the world, it's happening tonight
Slay the dragon, it has to happen
Love is making, the future's breaking
All over the world tonight
