The song was part of the soundtrack for the 2011 film Restless by Gus Van Sant. Covered the song on their 1979 album Oceans of Fantasy. The song has been covered several times, e.g. by Boney M. Most of the songs at that time were written and sung either by Lennon or McCartney, but this one is sung together. He wanted to give the Beatles one final performance before they broke up. The Beatles had been having tensions within the band for some time, and Lennon was thinking about leaving the band.
The song was a huge success, and is now considered to be one of the Beatles’ most classic tracks. The song is sung from the perspective of a priest who is mourning the woman’s death. The lyrics are full of images of loneliness and despair, and paint a picture of a woman who has led a sad and lonely life.
Some songs from this session appear on:
Darren Criss covered the song with his brother, Chuck Criss, on his 2013 "Listen Up" Tour. The song's title was used for the 2000 TV movie Two of Us, which depicts a fictionalized version of a 1976 reunion between McCartney and Lennon. "Two of Us" is a 1969 song written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song was recorded by the Beatles on 31 January 1969.
On some releases of this soundtrack "Two of Us" appeared also in a version by Neil Finn with his son Liam Finn. "Two of Us" was originally released as the opening track on Let It Be and a remix of that recording was later included on Let It Be... An outtake of the song, recorded on 24 January 1969, was released on Anthology 3 . It was written by Paul and it described his then fairly newfound relationship with Linda.

On February 7, 1964, The Beatles performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show. The band was comprised of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The Beatles had only released a few singles in the UK at that point, so the majority of the American audience was unfamiliar with them.

The upbeat, triumphant, nothing can go wrong nature of the song reflects this mindset. Spector maintained its gentle, pure form, sparse and acoustic, and felt it was the perfect opener for the album. Aimee Mann and Michael Penn covered "Two of Us" as part of the soundtrack for the 2001 film, I Am Sam.
From what I've read, Linda introduced Paul to a more pleasant, carefree life. The two would often times take long drives out to the countryside with no particular destination in mind, hence "the two of us riding nowhere." The line “two of us going nowhere” referred to Linda’s delight in going on car rides in the country and intentionally getting lost, something which Paul found utterly confounding at first. It would be released on the “Let It Be” album in 1970, but in April 1969, Paul McCartney decided to give the song away to a young band, Mortimer, signed by Apple Records. "Two of Us" was originally released on Let It Be and was later released on Anthology 3 and Let It Be... Its title was used for a film Two of Us about a fictional 1976 reunion between McCartney and Lennon.
Is brought home by the sound of their voices together, harmonized so closely. As in other songs, it’s hard to discern which voice is which, like the sound of a shared soul. The Beatles played "Get Back" as the last song of their final rooftop concert. The song was written by Lennon and Paul McCartney and was released as a single in April 1969.
If you like what you are seeing, share it on social networks and let others know about The Paul McCartney Project. However, the true meaning of the phrase has never been confirmed. Some people believe that it is a message that John Lennon left for fans after he died. Others believe that it is just a random phrase that was included in the song for fun. Ringo wrote the song "Octopus’s Garden" on Abbey Road.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers qualifies as fair use. The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and was released on the 1966 album Revolver. It is thought that the song is about a woman who dies alone and is forgotten by the world. The Beatles had been renting the building, which was a nine-story office building, since early in 1968. They had used the rooftop as a performance space since early in their career, and they had performed on the roof many times in the late 1960s. The Beatles played their final concert on the roof on January 30, 1969.
Yet so oddly funny is the sight of these words in print, words we heard and loved so many times through these decades with no clue what they meant, that they are deserving of sharing once again. That sound – John and Paul singing as closely as the Everly Brothers – still stands as hopeful proof that human harmony can prevail. Guster covered "Two of Us" on their 2007 EP Satellite. "Two of Us" is a 1969 song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney).
You are notifying to Yalp's team this transcription has a lot of wrong chords. Otherwise you can reload the original one and starting editing again. First he added some choice Lennon linguistics, as already mentioned.
