Overall Meaning

The Beatles’ song I’ve Got a Feeling is a track from their Let It Be album. The lyrics express the singer’s deep, unshakeable feeling that something significant is about to happen. The repetition of the phrase “I’ve got a feeling” creates a sense of urgency and excitement, further emphasized by the use of an upbeat tempo and strong rhythmic patterns. The lines “Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train // And if you leave me I won't be late again” refer to the singer’s anxiety about missing out on something important.

The second verse of the song offers a glimpse into the singer’s personal life as he reflects on his past. He says that for many years he had been searching for someone who looked like the person he has now found. This suggests that the song is not just about a vague sense of anticipation, but rather a specific feeling related to a person or relationship. The third verse features a series of contrasting phrases, like “good year”/“wet dream” and “sunshine”/“hair down,” which present a snapshot of various experiences and emotions shared by people.

If you stick by me, I won't let myself be delayed anymore.

All these years I've been wandering around, Wondering how come nobody told me All that I was looking for was somebody Who looked like you.

Ev'rybody had a good year, Ev'rybody let their hair down, Ev'rybody pulled their socks up, Ev'rybody put their foot down.
Everyone had a year where they could relax and let loose, while simultaneously stepping up and taking control of their own lives.

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Once again, I have a strong sensation that comes from within me.

I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide

@Lu Nicola I've been a Beatles fan my entire life. I was born a 1 1/2 weeks before the Beatles played the Hollywood bowl in '64, about an 1hour 1/2 drive away from it. Both my parents were fans and
I grew up listening to their music and can't remember a time they weren't a part of my life. wont say I'm their greatest fan because such a preposterous claim is pure hyperbole and anything but quantifiable. However, I can honestly say that there isn't a song on any of their original albums that I don't like (Revolution #9 isn't a song- and even that I've listened to and somewhat enjoyed).
Being a child, my critical analysis wasn't accessable and so I liked every song-especially the disliked ones from the White Album- (RockyOblahoneypieslumberlonglonglong).
I came across the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory early on- and gave it considerable thought- along with the JFK conspiracy, of course.
I wasn't familiar with the ancient Greek Sophists yet, but even with that knowledge waiting for my midteens, at about 10 I noticed that unlike most commonly believed conspiracy theories- the Paul is dead belief had no practical reason for being. Why? What would be so unacceptable to reality for a rock musician to die young? The Stone's Jones & the Who's 🌙- Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison. Why would they HAVE to deceive everyone? There is nothing logical about the entire idea. Finding the perfect person with the same talent? Sure. (Wings was almost Beatles continued to me. Love the first 4 studio albums. Egg, not so much).
The alleged facts are both more and less easily dealt with. Sophistry shows us that facts can be specious variables, and while reality adores simplicity in most regards- the human brain is drawn to complex ideas that seem to explain the uncertainties we are often faced with.
In fact, our brains need to see patterns in everything is now better understood as the cause of much of people's erroneous information.
I once had an argument with my cousin after he had seen some tv show purporting evidence that the moon landing was faked. Lots of facts, he insisted. How could I refute them?
While I certainly wasn't there and couldn't prove that it happened- I did have logic and an understanding of human behavior to go by- and the possibility of a conspiracy so elaborate and wide ranging as would be required to sustain such a conspiracy was simply beyond peoples capabilities.
Sophistry shows facts are not infallible. I don't have to disprove every single fact that's alleged- the human race is not as intelligent and capable as conspiracy minds believe. They see patterns where there are none.

Excellent breakdown and assessment of the "Paul Is Dead" cultural phenomenon, Vinyl Rewind!

When I was a young teen in the early 80's, my local university radio station (CHRW - London, Ontario) aired a "Top 40 Paul Is Dead Clues" program counting down the most notorious or blatant references to Paul's fatal car accident on their recordings and their cover art. I recall that the two hosts had chalked the whole thing up simply to The Beatles' interest in Eastern mysticism and cultural experimentation at the time. I find the whole subject as fascinating as I find it unconvincing, and I agree with your synopsis entirely. Though I do now believe that many of these clues were intentional, and consider this endeavour among their finest works, up there with The White Album.

A few interesting clues from that program not mentioned here:
1) In the same song I Am The Walrus shortly after the the words "Paul Is Dead Ha Ha" that you pointed out - you hear what sounds like either John or Paul in a dying-breath voice say "Oh untimely death"
2) At the end of While My Guitar Gently Weeps it sounds like George is pining for Paul, wailing "Paul Paul Paul Paul..." throughout the final refrains
3) Apparently the word "walrus" is similar or the same as the Greek word for corpse. Perhaps a Greek reader here could confirm or deny that.

Fantastic work, VR! I discovered you via your incredibly detailed and respectful coverage of the greatest rock and roll recording of the last century, Pink Floyd's Animals.

My grandfather was a policeman on scene of the accident. He claimed to have found Paul's decapitated head at the side of the road.
Throughout my childhood he told me of the chest in his attic containing Paul's head, that I would one day inherit...
I did inherit that chest when my grandfather passed away.

Finally, I opened the chest, and couldn't believe my eyes...

All I found was a pineapple and a dildo.

Ah well 👍

Keep in mind that not only did they find an imposter that looked exactly like Paul, and was also able to become left-handed and learn all of Paul's stuff, but the Imposter was a bigger musical genius than anyone else in the band, since the Imposter wrote songs such as Let It Be and Hey Jude. And then post-beatles, the Imposter had the biggest solo career of any of the four. And the Imposter became the richest musician in the world. That's like saying Eddie Van Halen died in 1978, so they found someone that looked exactly like him, that turned out to be an even better guitar player and songwriter and the rest of Van Halen didn't mind. Okay.

William did not look exactly like Paul. He have a different skullshape. And he is a right handed man that learned to play lefthanded. William is taller than the real JPM was. And William did not need to know the older songs since they had stopped touring and was only doing studio albums. John had to give William the "keys" to his band and he could not speak his mind about it.

And come on, William have not only made good songs. He have made some muzak too.

"Hey Jude" is not as special of a song like JPM's Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby.

Richard Bullwood

46w↑28

@Ölsk Zeri this is hilarious. The Imposter wrote The Beatles biggest hits, because they happened to find an imposter that was a musical genius as well. So after writing Hey Jude, and writing Let It Be, the long and Winding Road and all of that, this impostor formed the wings and had hit records all through the 70s. The Imposter then had success in the 1980s with solo stuff and collaborations with other artists. And then the Imposter became the richest musician in history. The Imposter did all that. And not only did the Imposter have the biggest solo career of any of the Beatles, none of the other Beatles ever said a word about it and just took it. Did you watch The recently-released Beatles documentary? George and Ringo are sitting quietly while the Imposter figures out the song Get Back. They sit there quietly and completely defer to be imposter as he writes yet another hit song. The rooftop concert in 1969? George Harrison asks if they are going to stay on the rooftop and continue to record. John looks at the Imposter, and the Imposter says no, we're going back inside because it's cold and the wind is going to interfere with the microphones. That's quite an imposter they found.

why would he have to "become" left handed if he was hand picked?

Richard Bullwood

@plasticweapon because left-handed people are only 12% of the population. Is that really difficult to figure out? First of all you have to find someone who looks and sounds exactly like Paul. It's impossible to find anybody who looks and sounds exactly like anybody. But then, he has to be a bigger musical genius than the musical genius you're replacing. And then, he has to be left-handed which is only a 12% probability.

As a kid, I always found this story interesting. As an adult, it scares me that there are so many adults that believe Paul died and was replaced by a guy who had Paul's rare talent, looks, voice and mannerisms. Humans have clearly been dumbed down over the last 50 some odd years.

The Beatles heard of the rumor of Paul's death and went with it. All of the cryptic pics in the albums was done on purpose. Then, the audio tracks were done on purpose as well. This really pushed the records sales as people wanted to find answers of the rumor.

@Lu Nicola Time has told. BS on this nonsense. What is wrong with people? Believing in the most implausible, complex theories in order to give their lives more meaning. Believing in these conspiracies gives people the opportunity to envision themselves superior to everybody else who isn't "in on it."
That's an alluring prospect in a society that has effectively castrated it's own citizens and made them feel individually powerless. One way to rise above that is to believe it's all been a con and you can see through it. I can understand that because I have done that, and it works.
However, believing that the entire american system has been fundamentally reconfigured since the Reagan Revolution for the benefit of only the rich doesn't require too much suspension of disbelief. Believing that John and Paul's dark sense of humor was anything other than it was- a means of.playing with their audience-requires much more imagination to believe.
Life is pretty simple. We tend to complicate things unnecessarily.

I was obsessed when this hoax came out, believing it to be possible. My obsession stemmed from the supernatural quality of it all. But then I thought that John had placed all these clues about Paul being dead without Paul knowing about it just to piss him off. I thought John was getting restless, wanting to leave the group and was resenting Paul for being just a taskmaster. It just seemed like something John would do. The one thing that made me realize it was a hoax was all the incredible music Paul wrote after his supposed death. I could consider that they got someone to look like him who could play an instrument. But the music? You can't teach someone to be so prolific and gifted to write the songs that Paul wrote. And the explanation as to why they had to replace him was ludicrous. Pandemonium, rioting in the streets, collapse of civilization was just so laughable and absurd. Anyway, JMO.

I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, played their music, literally grew up with them. There is another documentary that is much more in depth and plausible. The Tavistock Institute was instrumental in furthering the Beatles popularity after Paul’s death, especially in the U. S. Think about it. They were beginning to get weird. They introduced T. M. , drugs (L. S. D. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds)into the U. S. The British “Invasion.” The U.K./U.S connection runs way down the rabbit hole. The queen owned the U.S. which actually is a corporation. As I said the other documentary convinced me hands down. I’m not sure I still have access to it.
They did not write their own music and teaching a guy to play base left handed would not be out of the question. This one made comparisons between the old Paul and the new Paul. Being a musician, the most compelling piece of evidence was the fact that the real Paul never looked down at what he was playing, yet the new Paul was constantly looking down at his guitar. Even though plausible, this was the biggest obstacle to overcome. This video seems to be just a marketing tool. It would be nice to know the truth about something because at 71 I’ve been lied to my whole life. Take care!

That something like that could be concealed for 60 years, that you could find a double who looks, acts, sings, and writes songs with the exact same level of greatness, is absolutely ludicrous! Even an exact physical Duplicate would not be able to mimic the sheer Genuis in songwriting, nor could they mimic the exact same voice through the last years of the Beetles, through to the Wings era, then to his successful Solo career!

Many of these "wacky" conspiracy's, (Qanon comes to mind) are based upon a multitude of mostly verifiable facts constructed in a way that is logical and superficially convincing- until you question the underlying premise itself. Why would the Beatles HAVE to hide Paul's death in the first place? There is no rational reason for contriving such a difficult deceit. Brian Jones, Syd Barrett, Keith Moon, John Bonham, ...
Conspiracy minded people need to go back to the ancient Greek sophist philosophers who manipulated facts into elaborate creations which they could argue were true- or some type of weirdness at least.
The point being facts themselves are not necessarily trustworthy. Facts can be and are manipulated constantly, then add to that the reality of coincidences (the Lincoln ~~Kennedy similarities are amazing and mean absolutely nothing ) and how the mind creates patterns where there are none~~ just because of the way our brains have evolved. There never was a need to cover up Paul's death if it had happened.

Look I don't know if Paul was replaced by someone but here's my real life experience. I hung out with a mate in Australia in 1980 to 82 when we were both 18 to 20 years old. We had moved from a country town to a small city Newcastle, and both loved basketball and played for a club together. As time went on I moved back home and then after a couple of years moved to Sydney and my mate stayed in Newcastle and I eventually lost contact with my mate as you did back in the early eighties. Then when at work at a club some 4 years later I saw my mate but he was like he was in his late teens a lot younger than he should have been but identical looking. He looked at me and looked away as he saw me staring at him as I was not sure it could be him as he had changed his hairstyle in real life when he got older. I couldn't stop staring at him but knew he saw me several times and thought he would come and say hello at some point as I was working at it was busy. Well eventually I lost sight of this person but got a piece of chrome splinter in my finger and went to reception where the first aid gear was to get tweezers to pick it out of my finger. Unbeknownst to me this guy was there leaving the premises but was waiting for his friends or family and had noticed me trying to pick this piece of stubborn metal out of my finger. He came up to me and said jokingly " thhhinnkk you'lll sthervive?" ( like the cartoon character Rodger Rabbit ) with a really bad speach impediment, and I knew immediately it wasn't my mate from years ago as he didn't have one, BUT he was identical in every way physically and facially other than his speach impediment, height body shape everything . It still creeps me out to this day and I believe a person can have an identical copy of themselves physically but the talent and singing abilities as well is a bit of a stretch, although I wouldn't be surprised after my own real life experience.

. . Perhaps you've heard about an Italian forensics group that set out to prove the rumors false . . and came to the realization that based upon photographic evidence pre and post 1966 that they were looking at two different individuals -- for example, longer in the face, a different dental structure and ear shape and people have noted differences in behavior and playing style as well as height. If you happen to see the film clip after John's death of Paul being interviewed in a crowd without his knowledge that a camera was filming as well -- it is clear that he did not give a f*k, yet tried to claim on Letterman that he was nervous or distraught. When you watch him leave that interview and go skipping through the crowd with his head high and not a care in the world -- his words on Letterman don't match his behavior at all at the time. Previously, both John and Paul were like brothers as they got on so well, they shared credit for the songs they wrote. Even if they had a severe falling out somehow, their history and shared experiences would have generated a far different response upon the death of John so unexpectedly and so early in his life. Yeah, it's a drag isn't it? . . were his words to the reporter without hesitation or concern . . Deception indicates fraud -- certainly for such a huge contrast in behavior and disregard. As a different individual corroborated by a detailed forensics report, it makes sense that no bond occurred between them under the circumstances.

@Evergarden . . there are 6 sponsored participants posting in an effort to lead debate -- as in any controversial issue today in the forum . . Normalization rather than conspiracy is how influence and corruption create and take precedence, so that awareness is hostage to the needs for anything other than ourselves to define what is real and acceptable -- the need for any form of consensus to rule us unaware, lest we ever accept responsibility.

Remember hearing this years ago and the story was different than yours, as these kind of things usually do change. William Cambell, William Shears, Whatever. Was from what I read then a Scottish or Welsh lookalike playing in a little known Beatles coverband. According to the story he did actually really look a lot like Paul, but had green eyes instead of brown. Also he was right handed, but he did play bass, among other instruments. And was pretty good at all of them. Billy/William had only one relative, his mother. So "Billy" "died" instead, only leaving his mother knowing the truth. Or something like that.

The break was for them to play together and blah blah...
There was much, much more to the story. It was a fun a read, but the later tellings sound a lot less convincing.

I can remember back in Los Angeles, in the early 70s, when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, a skywriting plane(s?) flew overhead while I was playing with friends on the school playground during a recess period. It spelled out “Paul is dead.” My parents weren’t into rock, so I had no idea what it meant, but I remember an older kid explaining the Beatles connection to me. Ever since then, I always thought of it as a publicity stunt and I’m wondering if there’s been any evidence of it being so.

All you have to do is watch Get Back to see that Paul was the driving force behind the late Beatles music. As if the other three would take so much direction from a lookalike. Or even allow them to filmed like that for that matter. Oh and he can play base and guitar and piano that well just like Paul, left handed. And looks and sounds just like him and matched all the harmonies perfectly. And so talented that he was able to write many of the most iconic songs of all time after ‘66 with the Beatles, and even if you think maybe John wrote them, who wrote all the Wings and solo stuff after? It’s interesting to think that maybe the Beatles placed these clues just to mess with people because they were hysterical and creative geniuses, but that’s where the conspiracy would be. Not that Paul is actually dead. If he is Billy Shears is my favourite musician of all time :)

I never bought the Paul is dead thing but I think many people assume the replacement had to be Paul’s equal in every respect. When he really only needed to be able to play some instruments, look and sound like him. The prolific talent didn’t need to be part of the equation.

The only thing that I noticed was prior to 1966 Paul played the bass and never looked at the neck of the instrument. After even now I saw McCartney in 2015 and he still constantly looked at the neck for finger placement. I didn't think of this all by myself. A first chair cello player in the St Louis philharmonic pointed it out. We looked at tons of footage of McCartney playing live from there first album through 1966 . She was right Paul never looked at the neck for finger placement. His confidence in his ability to play the Bass was clear. After 1966 and as recent as 2015 he played the bass totally different. She explained that a musician would never revert back to such amateur move.

Pre 1966 the Beatles only played the same handful of songs and toured constantly for years. At their touring peak, they played 20 minute sets. Look at the number of songs Paul has written since 1966. The dude released at least an album of new material per year for decades. The more songs you write and the older you get, the harder it is to remember bass-lines and lyrics. Most rockstars his age use teleprompters live. Plus Paul wrote many complex basslines which were practically song-long solos. I’ve watched the hours long Get Back doc multiple times and did not notice excessive neck-looking. Comparing a 20 something year old dude’s playing to an almost 80 year olds playing is apples to oranges. I’ve played bass for 20 years and still look at the neck from time to time.

My favorite clue is on "When We Was Fab" by Harrison where he sings "Casualties at dawn."
Well played, George. Well played.

The patch on Paul's shoulder is a crest for the OPP - Ontario Provincial Police... and I am glad you point that out later in the video. but even in the photo chosen for the album, it is pretty identifiable and recognizable

I'm just putting this out there. The Beatles are just as powerful now as they were back then. If you found a replacement that looks just like him I'm waiting for John and George's look alike

The badge on his arm says “OPP” - Ontario Provincial Police. I thought I recognized it (because I live in Ontario, Canada) but looked it up to confirm. The band was given the badges as gifts when they visited Toronto in 1964.

Edit: I didn’t realize the format of these videos and how he would debunk in the second half. I’m still taking credit for picking up on that, though.

In interviews William says he doesn't know where it came from. I'm sure it was given to Paul and the other lads at some official event and Paul would have remembered. I'm pretty damn sure they wouldn't sew a patch on their Pepper's uniforms without being sure it wasn't something that represented a unsavory organization.

My guess would be that the OPP provided their security while in Toronto.

This was no conspiracy. A rock radio station located in Dearborn Michigan, known as WKNR, had a station disc jockey named Russ Gibb. One night Russ played a Beatles record backwards. One night, Russ played the record on air. I actually heard the record on air at the time. On air, Russ personally called Eric Clapton and asked Eric about what is heard playing the Beatles record backwards. Russ asked Eric Clapton when was the last time Eric actually spoke or seen Paul? There was a long silence on air. Eric said that he didn't have contact with Paul in a relatively long time. That's where the "Paul's Dead" story originated. It started in a Detroit suburb in Dearborn Michigan. Home Town Of Henry Ford who created The Ford Motor Company, and built the world's largest automotive complex known as " The Rouge". Located along the Rouge River.

Every once in a while, I like to revisit the PID theories to find out if I have missed any previously unnoticed clue. Equally interesting is Lincoln's ghost. Maybe Dan Brown can throw some light.

Son personas completamente diferentes, se puede observar en su mirada, su sonrisa, su forma de comportarse.... para mí es evidente la diferencia. Desconozco las razones para la suplantación pero si los observo ... para mí no son la misma persona. He visto muchísimos videos y fotografías de Paul 🌹

My theory? Paul was badly injured, they hired a doppelganger, but he was (reasonably) fit and well by February 67. Hence the mention of the "false rumour" at the same time. And the other Beatles decided, not in guilt, but in jest, to leave hints.

I remember a contest on American Bandstand looking for a Paul McCartney look-a-like. There was never a winner announced on the show, and I can't find much about it. Can you shed some light on this? I would not be surprised if this was real, as I was a big fan of the band and Paul was my favorite (next to Ringer lol) and I can definitely see some very slight differences in his facial features. The real clue is his ears. But, try to find a photo showing them, HA!

There is a very large grave stone in a Liverpool cemetery with Paul's date of birth and death. There is also a video of the other band members where when speaking of Paul they call him Faul. Ringo has reportedly said Paul is dead and he did not want to take this secret to his grave with him. He is the only live Beatle now.

There is also video with audio of George and his wife greeting Paul. If I remember correctly George said, Hello William and his wife said, Hi Billy. This has been well researched and the evidence suggests Paul was definitely replaced. Sage of Quay and Mike Williams Paul is Dead Channel on YouTube.

Paul was NOT the only left-handed member, Ringo was also and played a right handed setup giving him ability to play chops which were difficult to copy by other drummer… except south paws like me.

imagine the impossible odds of 1/ finding someone who looked identical to macartney 2/ could play the guitar as well as him. 3/ had the same voice. 4/ could sing as well. 5/ could write brilliant songs. 6/ actually wanted to be on this merry go round. 7/ had the same personality. 8/ could get along with the others. All the most stupid things in this world come from the USA and this is just one of them.

I don't know which story is the more fascinating, the fact that it is believed Paul died and replacement in brought in to fool the world, or that they found someone that close a match in every way...there's a bloke called sage of quay, who's saying there was more than one Lennon too, so it gets sillier.

Actually, Paul was not the only left-handed member of the group. Ringo is a natural lefty who was forced by a family member to use his right hand. Source- someone named Richard Starkey- I think he's someone who would know a little about Ringo.

I never understood the lyrics to "A Day In The Life". It's easily the most powerful and jaw dropping song they ever made.

Built up from a local newspaper John drew references from. The holes in Blackburn Lancashire was a real report from the paper, lamenting the state of the local roads being full of potholes. 4000 was the rough estimate the paper opined.
The film Lennon alludes to was possibly the one in which he played a minor part. How I Won the War. The car crash was a reference to their good friend Tara Brown being killed in a car accident. This actually happened. Lennon doesn't say " Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords."

"Lords" ends with a distinct zzzz sound. He says something like "House of Paw", perhaps even "Paul" though that's less clear. The word kinda hangs without being fully resolved, which has led many to believe he was referring to Paul. He wasn't, it's a reference to Tara Brown, the Guinness Brewery heir....

@Martoon And it earned them a ban by the BBC who must have found the lyrics to the song disagreeable material.

Here's something to keep in mind... during the Manhattan Project, they managed to somehow keep 300,000 people working on the project tight lipped, and if anyone does the research as to the individuals recently in the news and those connected to them on how they keep people quiet or how they can make even the most powerful public figure so what they want (coughepsteincough) and the horrible things they are into (it didn't help that there was a child pedo symbol on the bass drum next to the blood splattered shoes [red shoes being a MASSIVE symbol of individuals into child sacrifice]), the things an average individual uncovers would most likely go into denial.

The "Paul is Dead" rumor was fuelled by Paul's decision to pose barefoot on the cover of "Abbey Road". Other artists and bands(the Beach Boys, Faith Hill, Barbara Mandrell, Crystal Gayle) have posed barefoot for album covers, and none of them brought about any controversy!
