[@squamish4244]

@@hansolo631 Well, Paul wrote the whole song, it was just standard among the Beatles 'later' songs (it's hard to process that they only really lasted five years) which were written either by Paul or John independently to credit both of them. But the point is he's conceding to Paul f*cking McCartney, one of the greatest songwriters _ever,_ so it's hardly a slam on Ed. I think he was okay with it.

He still can't avoid letting a little bit of his frustration out with some of his passive aggressive comments but reigns it in with a joke while leaving. Really well done.

Two things, both subtle: He captures McCartney’s slightly nuanced “you left me standing here” after the bridge perfectly. And, I preface this by saying that I’m not really an Ed Sheeran fan nor do I dislike him, I just don’t know his music, but the look on his face after Himesh stops singing is very good acting...a very subtle look of admiration combined with sadness..very well done.

She said something to the effect comparing John to Mozart and Paul to Salieri. I think it was a cleaver nod / counter to that statement in that the song “The Long and Winding Road” was actually a Paul composition. If Lennon was a modern-day Mozart, Paul would certainly be the modern-day equivalent to Beethoven with George as the modern equivalent to Chopin.👍

Even the first ten seconds of the song, you can tell Sheeran realizes that he has no idea what music is anymore. Just blew that smirk right off his face 🤯

I always laugh when I think of what it would be like in Ed Sheeran's head to hear this for the first time and think, "WTF?!?!? What just happened? Where did THAT come from? I am totally outclassed." It would be so crushing to be the famous singer-songwriter and be blown away by someone no one's ever even heard of. Sheeran did a great job of portraying the stunning realization while remaining classy. I know ifs just a movie, but weirdly my respect for him increased from this scene. I also think that the movie made many of us Beatles fans "re-hear" their music and appreciate their genius anew. And the Lennon-by-the-Sea scene was unexpectedly poignant, especially the upside-down "Imagine" on the boat. This is up there with The Commitments as my favorite music movie.

[@sn7miller]

McCartney was inspired by the "calm and beauty of Scotland". Had a property there, had to access a long road, sat at a piano and wrote this song in 9 minutes, beating both Sheeran and Malik. OK, not quite, but knocked it out fast in a day. It was also about the long and winding road of their careers and relationships in the Beatles which by 1968 was going through a lot of turmoil. One of their best songs and as Sheeran said "one of the best songs I've ever heard". Who can doubt that line in the movie!?
