the more positive side of the duality
Paul McCartney : "It's a song about everything and nothing. If you have black you have to have white. That's the amazing thing about life."
What did Paul mean? discuss.
What do these photos mean to you?
Paul McCartney wrote this. His friend Alistair Taylor asked Paul one day how he wrote his many songs, and how he came up with his ideas. Paul took him into his dining room to show him his harmonium (small piano) as a small test, Paul asked Taylor to shout out the opposite of whatever he sang, such as black and white, yes and no, hello and goodbye, etc. From this, the song was born.
He added: "It's such a deep theme in the universe, duality – man woman, black white, ebony ivory, high low, right wrong, up down, hello goodbye – that it was a very easy song to write." McCartney also said that, in "Hello, Goodbye", he was promoting "the more positive side of the duality".
