Among the many songs Paul McCartney has written, “Maybe I’m Amazed” stands out as one of the most powerful—and personal—love songs of all time. Released in 1970 on his debut solo album McCartney, this song wasn’t written to impress critics or top charts. It was written from the deepest part of Paul’s heart, as a raw, emotional tribute to Linda McCartney, the woman who helped him survive the breakup of Beatle In the lyrics, Paul confesses: “Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time.” The word maybe doesn’t signal doubt, but astonishment—that someone could love him so completely during one of the most vulnerable periods of his life. After The Beatles dissolved, Paul fell into a deep depression. He retreated from the public eye, unsure of his identity outside the band. Linda was the one who held him together. She encouraged him to start fresh, to make music just for himself, and to find joy in simplicity. “Maybe I’m Amazed” was Paul’s way of saying thank you—through music, the language he knows best.

Jon Bon Jovi has played a warm and supportive role in his son Jake Bongiovi’s marriage to actress Millie Bobby Brown. As a proud father, Jon has publicly expressed his happiness and approval of the couple’s relationship from the beginning. He has spoken positively about Jake and Millie’s compatibility, stating that they “grow together in their own way” and that he believes they’ll make a strong couple. Drawing from his own long-lasting marriage to Dorothea Hurley—whom he married in 1989—Jon emphasized that age doesn’t matter as long as both partners grow together. His supportive words not only reflected his confidence in their love but also helped shield the young couple from public criticism over their youth. Despite his fame, Jon Bon Jovi chose to take a respectful step back during the planning of the wedding, saying that he was “on a need-to-know basis” and that his kids “don’t tell me much” about the details. This approach shows his trust in Jake’s ability to make life decisions independently. He has often shared that he’s proud of how his children, including Jake, have managed to grow up in the spotlight while staying grounded. Jon’s calm and open attitude likely offered both Jake and Millie a comforting sense of stability and freedom to plan their wedding in their own way. When Jake and Millie tied the knot in May 2024, Jon was there to celebrate the special moment, which he described as a “very small, family wedding.” He called it a beautiful and intimate event, sharing that Jake was glowing with happiness. While Jon didn’t take center stage during the ceremony, his role as a proud father, role model, and quiet guide behind the scenes was evident. His own decades-long marriage served as a blueprint for Jake, and his quiet presence and blessing underscored the values of love, commitment, and respect that he has always tried to pass on to his children.
