Let It Be...

i just saw the video of the Beatles' song 'Let it Be'. This is one of my favourite songs but surprisingly the first time i saw the video. One thing so conspicuosly different from other Beatles videos: Yoko Ono. Never thought she was sooo important that she appears in a Beatles video DOING NOTHING. She just sits next to John Lennon who looks disinterested in what's happening around him. The tension in the video is quite palpable from the expressions on George Harrison and Paul McCartney's face. No wonder they blame Yoko for breaking up what is arguably the most influential music bunch in history.
Which makes me think: Do you need to be with your lover ALL THE TIME??? i'm sure that many of you face similar problems as have i over the years. What brand of superglue do these cuddlesome twosomes use that makes them bear each other 24/7? And do they ever think what effect it might be having on either of their lives?? What happens to old friends who may not like your better half? What about the effect it has on their individuality? ive seen many lovers looking, talking, behaving so similarly that they seem to be twins. Ok, better question: Is the fact that you spend all your time with your lover some way of proving to yourself that you love him/her??
