Reviews for How Do You Sleep? Lyrics

this song is clear proof of the bitterness between the two greatest of greatests, but the legend says the evil mind behind this, and moreover the whole beatles split, was yoko ono. so how can you blame either of the beatles when the one that manipulated the weak will power of lennon was yoko?

I think this song, and Paul's earlier, are proof that even the most ridiculous insults are taken to heart. For two of the most accomplished songwriters ever, if not the most accomplished ever, to effectively call each other talentless and expect it to stick is laughable. Strangely enough, each believed it did.

The way it all started...Too many people was a song that was meant to attack John with some lines like :"that was your first mistake,you took a lucky break until you broke it"Song by Paul....John heard this song so he created how do you sleep...George then made a song to attack John and Yoko...Yay George settled the whole thing...Probably o_o

john is the "screw u attitude" in the beatles that made the beatles important in history. Mccartney embodied the melodious songwriter in the beatles.but without john the beatles would be sissy band just like NOKTB.sorry

Lennon was talking about something far greater than a falling out. There was a pushing for the beatles split and paul M took the deal. Lennon could not believe that he could swap conscience for fame. Lennon was a true maverick.

Scathing song but John certainly didn't believe "Yesterday" was the only good song Paul wrote. He was just angry at the way things ended with Paul outing the breakup when he was in fact the one to make the decision month's prior. John loved many of Paul's songs but he also didn't like wimpy stuff and "Ob La Di" and others were muzak to John's ears. And I won't get into a John was better than Paul or Paul was better than John argument. I honestly don't believe the bands John and Paul would have formed on their own would have been anything more than really good 60's bands. To really be the Beatles, they NEEDED each other but I think John needed Paul's drive and ambition slightly more than Paul needed John's incisive lyrics and melodic structure. Once John found pot and heroin (later), the Beatles would have gone to shit w/o Paul's continued need to work and try to keep the Beatles in the limelight by writing great songs (singles), some with John's help, some without. As someone said, they were yin to each other's yang and without each other, the Beatles would have been two really good bands but not the worldwide phenomenon they've become. And for the George lovers, even George would tell you that his songwriting needed more seasoning than John/Paul even if by the end his contributions may have been the best of the bunch. "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" are probably the best songs on Abbey Road. The fact that we're here discussing this more than 40 years later should tell us all we need to know about the legacy of the Beatles.

it's quite evident that john was just pissed. Paul was a gifted melody maker. john was a character. pity they fell out. cuz of neither their solo efforts even came close to the beatles. and thats proof against any accusations of an artistic void in either of them.

this song is basically telling you that paul was a nobody, witch is true, without john hes a nobody and john was really the only talented one of the group he wrote all the songs, you might say that pauls songs went #1 and his solos went #1 but we all know john wrote most of the music! when paul went solo his music was pop shit, gay as shit and pussy! im not saying they werent both great with eachother bc they were both great when they were together they were made for eachother, but paul is a peice of shit and his pop music sucks. the only thing he done was yesterday and since hes gone hes just another day! johns cd imagine was better then any of pauls solo cds, paul is crap with john and that shows you right there that paul would have to stand on gods shoulders to kiss johns ass!! all you mccartney fans suck, hes music and lyrics are garbage!

They were great BECAUSE of each other. Yin and yang. Each needed and thrived off the other. Their continued falling out thru the 70's was largely Yoko's fault. She kept him from jamming with Macca during Venus and Mars, and she was the one who said Paul could only 'rhyme June with spoon'. Yes, Paul gets a little corny sometimes, but the world needs a little optimism - just like it also needs John's cynical, critical view.

Both of them, the best duo ever, hands down.

Paul did do much better than John musicly after the Beatles. BUT paul put all of his life in time onto it. John didnt at all in fact music was very much on the side. just listen to his song "Watching the Wheels" and John is deff more popular and than paul

Your all fighting a battle that can never be won John Lennon and Paul McCarntney were both amazing artisits get over it they were also both great friends and had a falling out like people do sometimes but they got over it why can;t you. Their music was different and thats what made the beatles music so amazing the compromise between the two.

If you ever watch the movie "Imagine" which is a documentary of john and yoko, John says that he thought it was about Paul and then he realized that it was somewhat about himself...he also goes on to say that he and Paul are okay. And in my opinion, both people are equally AMAZING!

Being more popular makes you a better artist???

Please, tell me how many #1 hits did Pink Floyd have... and please, please, tell me they were not awesome artists...

John is a hundred, a thousend times bigger than Paul... Not only as an artist, as a musician, as a composer, but as a person...

Greetings from Argentina

All you idiots that think Lennon was better....look at the numbers...more McCartney Beatle Songs went #1 and more McCartney Solo work went #1...after the beatles Paul had 9 #1 Albums and 7 #1 hit songs...Lennon can't stand up to that...all the best Beatles work was Paul..."Sgt. Pepper" "yesterday" "hey jude"(which lennon admidted to having no involvment in) "Let it be"(widely regarded the greatest song of all time) "Long and winding road" "get back" "can't buy me love" "Hello, Goodbye" "I saw her standing there"....I can go on and on...Paul is The Beatle Warlord...

Everything abut the Beatles was good - except the embarrassing stupid dull Paul McCartney lyrics. Rocky racoon, Honey Pie etc. - that´s so awfully dumb I can´t listen to that crap. How can any one write this and still want to be seen as a genius?
