The opening song of Let It Bes second half, Ive Got A Feeling was made up of two half-finished songs joined together. McCartney wrote the section that gave the song its title; Lennons contribution was originally called Everybody Had A Hard Year, and had previously been demoed during the White Album sessions. As such, it was the pairs first full and equal collaboration since 1967s Baby Youre A Rich Man. Lennon and McCartney worked on the song together at the latters house in Cavendish Avenue, London. Each part of the song shows the differences in the two mens lives at that point. McCartneys was a love song written about his future wife Linda Eastman, whom he married in March 1969. Lennon, conversely, had recently divorced his first wife Cynthia and was estranged from their son Julian. Additionally, he was addicted to heroin, his then-girlfriend Yoko Ono had recently suffered a miscarriage, the pair had been arrested for cannabis possession, and his enthusiasm for being a Beatle was at an all-time low.
