One of the interesting aspects of Paul McCartney’s 2013 album, NEW, is that the production credits feature Giles Martin and Ethan Johns, successful young producers, but – more significantly – the respective sons of George Martin and Glyn Johns, both of whom had produced The Beatles. From the sessions with Ethan Johns came “Early Days,” a song about...
Given that Paul McCartney is known for his seemingly unwavering positivity, it was a surprise when his 2018 album, Egypt Station, opened with the lyrics “I got crows at my window, dogs at my door/I don’t think I can take any more.” Indeed, the lead single from the No.1 album finds Paul in soul-searching mode. “Sometimes in your life, you’re not a g...
Taken from Wings’ 1975 album, Venus And Mars, “Letting Go” is a slinky, funky song with such an infectious groove that Paul McCartney still enjoys playing it live today.

According to Paul, i...
The video for “Coming Up” sees Paul McCartney take on many guises for his fantasy Plastic Macs band, including Ron Mael from Sparks, Hank Marvin (often thought to be Buddy Holly), and a country-bumpkin drummer based on his friend John Bonham. “I originally cut it on my farm in Scotland. I went into the studio each day and just started with a drum t...
It shouldn’t be forgotten that Paul McCartney’s chief musical role in The Beatles was originally as bass player – something evident in this single born out of an infectious disco bassline and a flamenco-inspired rhythm. Having recently signed with Columbia Records, Paul’s new label wanted him to include the commercial “Goodnight Tonight” on his Bac...
Paul McCartney has admitted that the inspiration for “Too Much Rain” came from Charlie Chaplin’s song “Smile,” which features the lines “Smile, though your heart is aching/Smile, even though it’s breaking.” In “Too Much Rain,” Paul alludes to a life with too much sadness – often interpreted as a reference to the deaths of those closest to him: his ...
