Hello Goodbye
The story behind the song
"Hello, Goodbye" explores the theme of duality, reflecting on the contrasting elements that exist in the universe, such as man and woman, black and white, or high and low. The song originated from an exercise in word association, where Paul McCartney would sing a word and an assistant would call out its opposite. This playful approach led to lyrics built on a series of antonyms, creating a sense of balance and opposition. At its heart, the song feels like a lighthearted yet profound meditation on life's inherent contrasts.
