Dedicated to Sir James Paul McCartney and Todays' Younger Singers b.

This time, specifically only Sir Paul's the Beatles' ages' one very representative great hit song "Hello Goodbye" and Billie Eilish's "Therefore I am" in relative lyricist's own age bound consciousness.


Paul's so famous even now so popular that song was written at '67 in middle age in 20 century.


And actually, after debut of her, Billie Eilish sincerely confessed that she had very familiar enlightenment from the Beatles and specifically in them, Paul's works had stronger impact and influence(indirectly referred by topically mentioned article, individually found at website field) at her singer and song writer carrier.

Necessarily, her ethnic identity and her own family's background as never lower class raised, far from it, rather culturally very intellectual environmental family attending circumstance proves that her confession so credible.


And, in fact, her song "Therefore I am" in album "Happy than ever"'s lyrical theme is inclined to claim our communicatively necessary response and mind owning aspect in some homage to Sir Paul's "Hello Goodbye".

Let's check each lyrical essential elemental parts.


Paul's its masterpiece is composed with dynamically major melody line attending, but simultaneously very simply duality notional lyrical content is almost minimal expression tast applying. Those days, they the Beatles had tried experimental music with reverse rotation recorded tunes with "Tomorrow Never Knows" as more minimal music tune than "Hello Goodbye", but as far as concerned with lyrical content, that song is more minimalistic content.


Like next, refrahn appears in turn.(intro. phrase)



❇️You say, "Yes", I say "No", you say "Stop" and I say, "Go, go, go", oh no.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello".



Just Paul tried to express the guy's emotional impression to ordinary girl whom could be tempted by the guy's talk to date or so.

In this regard, this song is guy's feeling to girls for guy's awkward approach to younger generation women, in general, the guy sung by Paul.

He was 25years old when he wrote the lyric.


According to these days' general consciousness in the situation a guy and a gal are mutually curious. Necessarily, those days, there was never man and woman in equality of everything at least at option of life course.


Meanwhile, Billie's "Therefore I am" has lyrics like next.



❇️I'm not your friend or anything, damn you think that you're the man, therefore I am.



Just from the beginning, she shows defiant declining stance to the guy, and probably she tries to express general contemporary gal's mentality. In other words, US younger generation gal's stance must never be the same with 20century's 60's girls in UK.

That her claim is so easily caught by our interpretation or assumption or so that probably the song must be answer song toward Paul's the Beatles' ages' representative hit song "Hello Goodbye".


US 's society is now so screwed up at debcting around artificial abortion in spontaneity by women, in terms of national juricial justice through the Supreme Court in the US.

Liberal judge three versus conservative judge six at Trump former President's intentional nomination to choose judges distribution.


Additionally, between two songs, 54 years age and time gap is put in front of analyzing us.


Billie's lyrics continues like next.



❇️ Stop, what the hell are you talking about?

Get my pretty name out of your mouth.

We are not same with or without.



Upper lyrical damning is conclusively outspoken to general guys.

And necessarily, in Paul's lyrics, his describing girl's nuance must not have that indifference. His showing girl is at least so modest not instantly reacting guy's request of having date. The premise is laid between gentleman and lady in temptation by guy.


However, Billie's Z generation must have no modestly declining elegance.

Because, if the mentally and physiologically, the gal could agree the mutual approach, intercourse could be composed so easily at least at 2021 as beforehand abortion ban was judged. And that daily reality is first premised in her lyrics and on the base, she expresses daring to decline, far from it, she rather tries to show defiant rejection even in interest or negotiable occasion. Her stance to face world itself is based on necessarily attending indifference. That nature is decisively remotely regarded from Paul's the Beatles ages' songs' ladies described at his songs.


In that stance, Billie's homage to Paul is dedicated to 70th Women's Reberation about the age the Beatles broke up started to gain ground in the US.


Billie's that song unexpectedly showed that her subconscious hunch to this year's judgment at Supreme Court.


And necessarily, elegance premised Paul's 60th youth leavings are never confirmed nor watched these days.

In other words, gender's each own role by itself must have been converted in drastic overturn at first two decades of 21century at least for pop music creator's dimension. 

That obvious discovery is possible at these two age gapped pop songs lyrical analysis.
