Paul spent 67 takes getting 'I Will' right on September 16, 1968, with Ringo playing on cymbal and maracas and John tapping the rhythm with a piece of wood. It was the first of Paul's songs to be written about Linda and he was still adding and changing lines as it was being recorded. Unsurprisingly, there's a sense of anticipation in the lyric, provoked no doubt by the knowledge that Linda and her daughter were arriving in London the very next week. Paul had previously only met Linda in London during the Sgt. Pepper period and on two subsequent visits to America, but he obviously felt he knew enough about her to be confident in offering her his love 'forever and forever'. |
