Ideas of syncopation and discord in relationship interactions are played out using The Beatles song Two of Us. The lyrics to this song speak of a relationship between two individuals, communication, a path taken together, a shared home, and yet part of the lyrics hint at futility, and possible escape. This interpretation of the lyrics can also be read into the tumultuous creative relationship within The Beatles between John Lennon and Paul McCartney, partners together, on one path, yet each with a feeling that they were creatively not going to get to the same desired location.
