Paul's. Good song

—John Lennon, 1980

I wrote 'Things We Said Today' on acoustic (guitar). It was a slightly nostalgic thing already, a future nostalgia: we'll remember the things we said today, sometime in the future, so the song projects itself into the future and then is nostalgic about the moment we're living now, which is quite a good trick.

—Paul McCartney, 1964

The Beatles performing Things We Said Today at the Indiana State Fair, 1964.
