Performance Notes
Lennon and McCartney performed the vocals together, reminiscent of their early Beatles days when they often shared singing duties. As the band evolved, they typically performed lead vocals on their own compositions, making this duet more unusual for their later period.
About the Lyrics
Paul McCartney wrote this song inspired by his travels with his wife, Linda. However, during the breakup of The Beatles, it came to represent a heartfelt message from Paul to John Lennon. The footage in the Beatles documentary also shows the fondness with which they performed it with each other.
Funny Sidenotes
John Lennon often entertained himself and those around him in the studio with quirky banter before recordings, and sometimes these moments made it onto the tracks. "Two of Us" opens with one such instance, where he jokes: "'I Dig A Pygmy' by Charles Hawtry and the Deaf Aids, phase one in which Doris gets her oats."
