I think Here Today is a very ordinary song to John's memory. Hands up if you think Paul wrote the melody and lyrics in five minutes? It shows ...But Teddy Boy is dreadful, silly, stupid, shallow, ridiculous ...No: I don't have to vote, and I won't.
I think Here Today was one of the hardest songs for Paul to write-even if it did only take him five minutes. He still often gets choked up when he plays it. I don't think it's a great song,but it does bring back memories of John and I like that.
That's a rather cynical viewpoint. I think John has been mourned quite substantially, and there's no reason for people (Paul included) to keep focusing on his death and feeling sad about it. Just my opinion.

Can people not read, or follow a thread?Andyec referred to Paul getting choked up when he plays Here Today at shows. My point was: yes, he does, but the emotion changes when he does the next song. Just like the newsreader, who isn't really feeling deep emotions, but rather is acting out a role.
I know what you were saying. I guess I didn't explain myself well. Let me try again:Just because he does show emotion during Here Today and not with the other songs, that doesn't mean that he isn't moved by Here Today, he just doesn't want to be sad throughout the whole show.Again, this is just my opinion.
I reckon your wife must fancy Paul McCartney or something Ydoll....It's almost pure hatred!!! LMAO!
