The last big song, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote together

When the Beatles began, the contributions of John Lennon and Paul McCartney were hard to separate. They wrote lyrics and melodies together, harmonized with singing and played piano and guitar in turn. A Lennon-McCartney song was exactly that.

Naturally, they have developed their own styles over the years and have stood out as songwriters. Even though they wore this Lennon-McCartney label, you knew that "Penny Lane" was a Paul song and "Yer Blues" was 100% John.

However, their partnership did not end when "Good Day Sunshine" was next to "Norwegian Wood" on Revolver. According to the Beatles Bible, "Baby You are a Rich Man" from 1967 represents a late and even collaboration between the two.

But it was not the last time Paul and John were doing magic together. Another classic collaboration appeared on the Beatles' last album. You can also hear the band deliver a catchy performance on the roof of Apple Studios in Never mind.

"I've Feeling" contains songs that John and Paul wrote separately.

Few Beatles songs are as hard as "I've a Feeling", a piece of the second part of Never mind. With an exciting opening riff and Paul's often-shouted vocals, you know you have something special in seconds. When the band comes on stage and George Harrison pulls his main guitar, it reaches another level.

But John has hardly arrived. When he purrs "Everyone had a difficult year, everyone had a good time," the song becomes a Beatles classic. The song seems so perfectly suited to John and Paul for a reason.

In fact, Paul wrote "I've got a Feeling". John's "Everybody Had a Good Year" is a song that he wrote earlier. By inserting the latter in the middle of the first, they created their last great song.

the Never mind The documentary, which ends with the latest live performance of the Beatles, clearly shows the band's opinion of this song. Paul looks ecstatic from the start; Ringo beats the drums with joy; John seems invigorated; and even gloomy, George smiled.

John and Paul looked happier to record the song.

There are many things you notice watching Never mind. John, for one, does not seem totally determined to make this album. At one point, he walks in the studio with Yoko while George repeats his melody, "I Mine". (That must have made George furious.)

Paul, still engaged, annoys several members of the group (George in particular) while he tries to dominate the session. Meanwhile, George and Ringo are the only Beatles to seem cordial – happy or even – working together.

But "I have a feeling" breaks this spell. Smiles are contagious throughout the studio. (Even a discreet voice, Yoko, smiles once John starts his voice.) If you took John and Paul's temperature, we bet it's the happiest they felt late in the band's life .

Later, when they head to the roof with Billy Preston and they discover their live version of "I've a Feeling", the Beatles would become a band again. It was the last time anyone could say that.
