As in my previous video I wanted to reflect the very close bond between John and Paul. Unfortunately, I picked this song before realizing that it implies that John loved Paul more than anyone else in his
life. It wasn't my intention to suggest that; merely to showcase their tremendous
love and
affection for one another that transcends space, time and even death (imo). It would have been more accurate for my purposes had John sung, "I
love you STILL" as opposed to "more", but..hopefully you'll allow me some poetic license and I hope you all enjoy the video, just the same.
There are references to places in the video like Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields. John's Menlove Avenue home is shown (the "original" and restored version), Aunt Mimi's home which John had bought her in '65, but which was demolished in '91 upon her death, The Cavern Club ("old" and "new"), the Jacaranda, Quarry Bank High School, and Liverpool Art College.
As for the people, there is (of course) Aunt Mimi, Julia, Brian Epstein, Stu Sutcliffe, George Martin, Derek Taylor (the boys' press officer), Neil and Mal (their road managers, if I'm not mistaken), Cynthia and May Pang (John's assistant/lover during his "Lost Weekend" period). I also included an old pic of John "cutting up" with his mates, among them Pete Shotton, and an old image of a young John with his beloved Uncle George. Hopefully I haven't left out anyone to describe.
I hope you all enjoy the video. :)
