Love is all around in Paul's "Here, There And Everywhere." There's the lust for constant love in "Ooh I need your love, babe...eight days a week". There's the idolized love of George's "Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover". There's the desperate cry for love in John's "Help!" There's the happiness of being in love in John's "I'm in love with her and I feel fine." And, of course, there's Paul's classic lost love lament of "Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play".

"But I think the overall impression that The Beatles left people with was an affectionate feeling. Most people I talk to say 'Aah, great days', they've got lovely memories of it. And if there is any residue of love for The Beatles, I think it's because we had that very honest, loving attitude and our message still remains a very positive, loving message".
As he sang long ago, "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
