On some releases of this soundtrack "Two of Us" appeared also in a version by Neil Finn with his son Liam Finn.
The clip was also broadcast on The Ed Sullivan Show on 1 March 1970 as the final appearance by the Beatles on the program. The Beatles performed a finished version of the song live at Apple Studios on 31 January 1969 this performance was included in both the Let It Be film and album. Unsatisfied with this style, which McCartney described as "chunky", the band reworked the song around acoustic guitars.
WHO SINGS JUST THE TWO OF US SERIES
Īn early performance of the song, in a guitar-driven rock style, can be seen in the Let It Be film and later in the documentary series The Beatles: Get Back. The song is also an ode to one of Lennon and McCartney’s influences, the harmonies of the Everly Brothers. " You Never Give Me Your Money", a different composition by McCartney from the previously released album, but recorded after Let It Be, Abbey Road, also refers to the Beatles' contract with Allen Klein as "funny paper".
Ian MacDonald claimed the lyrics (e.g.: "you and I have memories/longer than the road that stretches out ahead" or "you and me chasing paper/getting nowhere") sounded like McCartney was probably addressing Lennon and contractual troubles. The song was originally titled "On Our Way Home".
