To say the music of Paul McCartney and John Lennon is inseparable is an understatement. While the two would certainly have preferred a clean split between them when The Beatles broke down, the ties went deeper than just that band, those albums, those years. Their connection was foundational, and still is foundational for McCartney, who continues their legacy. Everyone can see it, but for George Martin<\/a>, he had a front-row seat to it, witnessing first-hand.<\/p>\n He saw it from start to finish, near enough<\/a>. Sure, he wasn\u2019t there when the boys first met or when they first started writing songs in their childhood kitchens, laying those first bricks. But when they brought that into the studio for the first time and started figuring out when their music sounded like a real, recorded way, Martin was on hand.<\/p>\n From then on, he watched on as they moved through everything. He watched as Lennon and McCartney got to grips with being hit makers in the early 1960s, as they started becoming more influenced by the counterculture, bringing more modern folky references into the studio. He saw them become more and more experimental after they cancelled touring<\/a>, helping them push their sound into new and truly groundbreaking places. <\/p>\n All of this also means that he wanted them eventually splinter. As Lennon began wandering down one path, Martin looked on as McCartney travelled another and the duo started firing insults at each other from their different landing points. However, from his vantage point, he could see the fact that the two musicians were being ignore to \u2013 without one another, some of their best work, even the stuff solely written by the, would not have existed. <\/p>\n
