Paul McCartney, John Lennon Did Not Feud Much During Songwriting
Paul McCartney and John Lennon did not have a perfect relationship, but they reportedly harmonized in songwriting.
The Beatles lasted for a decade, and the band's career had also been plagued by controversies especially because of the beef between McCartney and Lennon. They eventually split due to different reasons, including Brian Epstein's death, Lennon's heroin use and his relationship with Yoko Ono, the issue of the Beatlemania phenomenon and McCartney's domineering.
McCartney-Lennon's partnership was not made to last that even other musicians knew it would come to an end one day despite the pairing's success.
However, McCartney recently opened up about their connection while promoting the paperback edition of his book "The Lyrics 1956 to the Present."
He spoke about his and Lennon's conflict, saying they worked hard not to fight during their songwriting processes.
"There was never much battling because if someone said, 'I like this better', it was generally a better idea. So you'd give into each other as long as it was a better idea," he shared. "There weren't many disputes because we were writing like this [facing each other] with acoustic guitars. And y'know I'm coming up with a bit of a line and then he's following it up; just ping-ponging ideas."
