All Songs +1: A Conversation With Paul McCartney
On the occasion of the release of:
Pure McCartney is a 67-track box set spanning the four-plus decades of Paul McCartney’s solo career.
You’d figure Paul McCartney, the most well-known songwriter on planet Earth, would, by now, have confidence in his ability to write a song. But as he tells us in this week’s All Songs +1 podcast, “You never get it down. I don’t know how to do this. You’d think I do, but it’s not one of these things you ever really know how to do.”
A very interesting interview discussing such subjects as:
On his songwriting process, On the personal relationship behind his work with John Lennon, On ‘Live And Let Die’ and writing for a series like James Bond, The idea behind ‘Band On The Run’, On never feeling confident as a songwriter, On the need to keep working, etc.
