Strangely, this too was a background to my life at an earlier age. Someone who worked with her told me that she had dreadful stage fright. She got to the stage where she pretended to be ill in order to avoid performing. She faded from view and shuns all attempts to revive her brief period of stardom. The sonnet reminds us of those 'traitorous limbs' and don't we know it?

Part of your life like solo Ozzy was to me. She could technically be my mum.

Didja know that Paul played the balalaika on that one?

Production is credited to Paul, also. Dulcimers were quite hip at that point, too.

I think it was Apple's first non-Beatle single. Or maybe the second.
