Composer Opinion: The Songs That Never Were | Fab forum

Interesting question.

There might have been if Stu hadnt of quit to stay with Astrid but is there any evidence of John and/or Paul writing anything with Stu before he did leave, there would have been ample opportunity. And Paul and John agreed early on it was Lennon/McCartney. Stu seems to be more interested in painting and writing poetry than writing songs, tho who knows whats been lost either in a drawer somewhere or destroyed, there may have been a few written by John and Stu.

As for would there have been great lyrics or great songs, not a lot of what the John and Paul wrote during that period was great as they were finding their way so its unlikely that anything Stu added would have made the songs worst. Can songs like I Lost My Little Girl, Thinking of Linking get any worse and Love Me Do has got very simple repetitive lyrics. There is a good chance his imagery and word use may have added something additional to the mix, a little twist to the norm.

But i doubt it would have lasted. It was right for both Stu and the Beatles that Stu stayed with Astrid in Hamburg. It just sucks that Stu's life ended so early as he was a very talented Artist.
