This is Paul to John: stop being so negative and/or contrarian and/or let's both try to get along. Unfortunately a recurring theme, because John never acknowledged it and Paul never came right out and said it. Always speaking in riddles. Both of them.

Actually aside from Paul singing all the positive things and "you" saying all the negative things, there is no real relevance to Paul and John in this song at all. Paul was visiting a friend and the friend asked Paul if he'd ever though about the process of writting a song (the friend thought it was easy), and told Paul to come over to his piano and he'd show him. They both sat down and Paul's friend told him to play whatever, and he'd play along with Paul, he also told Paul that he would say a word and that Paul should say the opposite. After wards Paul came up with the demo for Hello goodbye. And that's that. Ejoy!

Actually Paul was dating a model and this song is about her. He wrote it after he had heard over the television that she was breaking up with him.

The second is exactly right, also Paul hates this song because it's meaningless and was during the time when they were really finding their sound.

I know that the above is true.. but some people can take this song and think it's about a rape. "you say stop and I say go go go" ha... obvious here she is saying stop and he's just like no, lets go!! *rape*

Hello Goodbye is about Paul and a girl. And they are total opposites. But for some reason he is still in love with her.

Hello Goodbye is a song about a girl who Paul is in love with, but she is hie totally opposite. (Hello/Goodbye,Stop/Go, etc...)

I think this song has something to do with saying goodbye to Paul McCartney and hello to William Campbell. Just a guess though.

Ok, Paul never died. That myth was proven wrong 30 years ago. Trust me. I had been addicted to proving he was alive until I learned that. now I'm satisfied. Paul is a happy 64 year old. want proof? ok!
