“Two Of Us” by The Beatles

"Two of Us" throws open Let It Be, the Beatles' 1970 album, and it's the sound of the band remembering how to sit on the porch and just play. Paul McCartney wrote it, though it carries the Lennon–McCartney credit, and the Beatles recorded this take on 31 January 1969; Phil Spector is credited as producer. It started out as "On Our Way Home" and was written about McCartney's rambles with Linda Eastman, whom he married that March.

By the time it reached the shops, the band was falling apart, and the song picked up a second meaning as a fond wave to John Lennon. Ian MacDonald heard McCartney addressing Lennon and the group's contract woes. An earlier take from 24 January 1969 later appeared on Anthology 3, and a remix turned up on Let It Be... Naked in 2003.
