00:00:00
well it was yeah it was kind of magical for me because um that period had in my memory had
00:00:07
always been a little bit dark because it was to do with the Beatles breaking up so the first let it be filmed was cut a
00:00:17
little bit with that in mind so I found it a bit depressing yes and I never wanted to watch the first lady b film
00:00:23
and so when Peter Jackson was slated to do this this version I said to him Peter
00:00:30
you know I'm not sure I'm gonna like this because you know um you know I got blamed for breaking up
00:00:36
the Beatles and in actual fact it wasn't me no and I've been trying to explain that to people for years and years
00:00:44
but then after a couple of months he'd been working on it he got in touch with me he said it's not like that at all he
00:00:52
said it's amazing so there's just these four guys in a room and you're having fun and you're working together
00:00:59
so you sent me a little clip which really saved my life this is a little bit where John and I were I'm working on
00:01:08
uh she came in through the bathroom window and I'm just strumming on the base and then and uh John's on the piano
00:01:15
and uh the end of it I said no no no no Monday's on his Tuesday's on the phone to me
00:01:23
and I go hello Tuesday immediately picks it up yeah he's coming right I can't remember what he says he's
00:01:32
coming over it's still routine you know if I'm ringing Tuesday um and I thought oh God yeah that's how
00:01:41
it was it was it was fantastic so yeah we um I loved it I really loved it and you know with with Peter
00:01:51
um what do you call it re remastering to make it so shiny and bright star and everything and the sound and
00:02:00
all of that um it was like having an old home movie of yourself oh my God yeah but perfect
00:02:07
and you know and I really I forgave myself when I saw that because I'm thinking no where everyone's everyone's
00:02:16
messing around and we're all messing around we're goofing around it's not like we we haven't got to do anything in
00:02:23
a month's time yeah with these songs we haven't written yet 14 songs yeah so but um what were you forgiving
00:02:33
yourself about yeah why did you feel you had to forgive yourself I thought I was
00:02:38
too bossy I thought that that would been the problem we said when I saw the film
00:02:44
I'm not being bossy at all I'm just trying to get people to work yes you know I totally I'm just trying to get on
00:02:52
C note come on guys you know it's two weeks off you know uh so people have said to me you'd ask about FEMA Peter
00:03:01
said to me well someone had to do that oh yeah someone asked that guy I let myself off I thought yeah that's
00:03:10
all I was trying to do I wasn't trying to be pushy or I was just trying to get the work done uh on the other aspect I
00:03:18
thought was great is that the way we just goofed around that's what I loved you know I think you think
00:03:25
but uh John Cleese had a thing where it was um work as a tool no no play as a tool
00:03:34
yes so in other words you're goofing goof and goofing and then you come to do the thing so
00:03:40
yeah we messed around with the song so much that it made them not intimidating we'd like we'd done them as jokes hello
00:03:50
Tuesday you know yeah so when you came to do the song you weren't as frightened as you might have been
00:03:58
it was just this stuff you've been goofing around on I don't want to interrupt that flow but yet sometimes
00:04:03
you guys would to release pressure I guess to sing some of your brilliant songs from the years previous but in a
00:04:09
funny voice that always struck me kind of that was very funny you all would do that I mean you just again that's the
00:04:16
thing you know you take the wind out of it in a way yeah yeah and I'd forgotten that we did that you know I kind of knew
00:04:24
well I've forgotten the specifics so Peter's film then he just shows shows us working on the song Two of Us
00:04:39
just the fact that and we don't just do it for two lines no we like we took the whole gloves some minutes and we're
00:04:47
looking at each other and you know that's that Spirit was always there from the minute I met John
00:04:55
yeah until the minute The Beatles broke up and Beyond actually you know there was always that sort of we just two guys
00:05:03
goofing our way through the world
