upon] so much. I thought it was very restful, a very beautiful lullaby, but I couldn't read the melody, not being able to read music. [About 'Carry That Weight':] We were taking so much acid and doing so much drugs and all this Klein shit was going on and getting crazier and crazier and crazier. Carry that weight a long time: like for ever. That's what I meant. [On 'The End': I wanted to end with a little meaningful couplet, so I followed the Bard and wrote a couplet." (Paul McCartney, 1997)
