<p id=”par-1_49″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/the-beatles/?swcfpc=1″>The Beatles</a> wrote hundreds of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/music/”>songs</a> in their surprisingly brief time as a band, and many of them touch on the type of love story you want to celebrate at a wedding. Here are some of their sweetest and most swoon-worthy love songs to add to your wedding playlist. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-something”>‘Something’</h2>
<p id=”par-2_39″>While George Harrison often felt his contributions to the band were overlooked by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, he wrote one of their most enduring love songs. Frank Sinatra even described “Something” as one of his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mistake-frank-sinatra-proved-george-harrisons-peculiar-position-beatles.html/”>favorite love songs</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-3_50″>“It’s a great song by George Harrison of The Beatles,” he told one audience, adding, “It’s one of the best love songs I believe to be written in 50 or 100 years. And it never says ‘I love you,’ in the song, but it really is one of the finest.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-i-will”>‘I Will’</h2>
<p id=”par-4_27″>McCartney wrote the short and sweet “I Will” <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beatles-india-funky-things-happened-john-lennon-meditated-five-days-straight.html/”>while in India</a> with the rest of the band. He considers it one of his favorite melodies he’s written.</p>

<p id=”par-5_49″>“It’s still one of my favorite melodies that I’ve written,” he said, per the book <em>Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now </em>by Barry Miles. “You just occasionally get lucky with a melody and it becomes rather complete and I think this is one of them; quite a complete tune.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-here-there-and-everywhere-nbsp”>‘Here, There, and Everywhere’ </h2>
<p id=”par-6_23″>McCartney wrote “Here, There, and Everywhere” while <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/paul-mccartney-thought-the-beatles-here-there-and-everywhere-sitting-john-lennons-pool.html/”>sitting by Lennon’s pool</a>. It’s one of The Beatles’ most romantic songs and among McCartney’s favorites.</p>

<p id=”par-7_62″>“Sometimes when you write a thing you think, ‘Oh, this is good’, and it’s not a modesty or an immodesty thing, you just… it’s just the same with anything; when you write a piece you just figure, ‘Oh yeah, I’m on a roll here. This is good; I’m getting the hang of this,’” he told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.clashmusic.com/features/paul-mccartney-interview/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Clash</a>. “Some pieces are better than others.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_13″>Even Lennon, who could be incredibly critical of McCartney’s work, praised the song.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-two-of-us”>‘Two of Us’</h2>
<p id=”par-9_17″>McCartney wrote the song “Two of Us” after a romantic drive with his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/paul-linda-mccartney-spent-10-days-apart-29-year-marriage-jail.html/”>future wife Linda McCartney</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_35″>“I’ve got a very vivid memory of driving out of London in my Aston Martin with Linda, just the two of us,” he told <a href=”https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/paul-mccartney-rick-rubin-interview-3-2-1-beatles-get-back-1207838/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Rolling Stone</a> in 2021. “She was always keen on getting lost.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_10″>He began to write the song while sitting with Linda.</p>
<p id=”par-12_78″>“We just headed out of London and we came to a place where there was a little parking spot in a field and then there was woods,” he said. “So we just went into the woods. I had my guitar, because I pretty much took it everywhere with me, and just started writing that song. It came very easily, because it was commenting on what we were doing, but going a bit more lyrical with it, more poetic.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_15″>The refrain, “We’re on our way home,” adds a level of sweetness to the song.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-i-ve-just-seen-a-face”>‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’</h2>
<p id=”par-14_33″>McCartney was the biggest romantic of the Beatles, as evidenced by “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” a song about love at first sight. It’s fast paced, making it great for the dance floor.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-when-i-m-64″>‘When I’m 64’</h2>
<p id=”par-15_38″>McCartney wrote “When I’m 64” when he was a young teenager. While the tune isn’t <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/paul-mccartney-said-the-beatles-when-im-sixty-four-joke.html/”>all that romantic</a>, the lyrics still make it a love song. It’s great for a wedding, as it looks towards a couple’s future.</p>
<p id=”par-16_47″>“I thought it was a good little tune but it was too vaudevillian, so I had to get some codlines to take the sting out of it, and put the tongue very firmly in cheek,” McCartney said. “‘Will you still need me?’ is still a love song.”</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-in-my-life”>‘In My Life’</h2>
<p id=”par-17_46″>While not directly a love song, “In My Life” is beautiful and introspective in a way that would suit a wedding. Lennon reportedly wrote some of it with former Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe in mind. Sutcliffe died in 1962, and Lennon viewed <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/john-lennon-saw-stuart-sutcliffe-soul-mate-treated-really-badly.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>him as a soul mate</a>.</p>
