**A Letter from the Past: John Sends Paul a Message in a Dream**
The night before his headlining performance at Glastonbury, Paul McCartney had a dream unlike any other. He was back in Liverpool, the city where it had all begun. The air smelled of sea salt and nostalgia, and he found himself sitting on a worn wooden bench near Penny Lane. Beside him sat John Lennon—laughing eyes, unruly hair, a guitar across his lap as if he’d never left.
“Sing that one, Paul,” John said softly. “But this time, don’t change the words.”
When Paul awoke, the dream clung to him like morning fog. He reached for his notebook, and tucked between pages was a line they’d once written together: *“There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.”*
Later that night, standing before a sea of fans under the starlit Glastonbury sky, Paul did something unexpected. He paused between songs, took a breath, and began strumming the familiar chords of *“All You Need Is Love.”*
No backing tracks. No modern spin. Just Paul, the melody, and the truth of the words.
It was the first time he’d sung it live since John’s death. The crowd hushed. Lights dimmed. Some fans wept. Others sang along through trembling voices. And for a moment, time folded in on itself.
A breeze swept across the stage, and those closest swore they could hear another voice — John’s — floating faintly on the wind.
Maybe it was memory. Maybe it was magic.
But as the final note rang out into the summer air, Paul looked up, smiled, and whispered, “Thanks, mate.”
