The one thing Ive always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which Ive learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.</p><p>In this extraordinary book, with unparalleled candour, Paul McCartney recounts his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career - from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. Arranged alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs lyrics for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he thinks of them now. Presented with this is a treasure trove of material from McCartneys personal archive - drafts, letters, photographs - never seen before, which make this also a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.</p><p>We learn intimately about the man, the creative process, the working out of melodies, the moments of inspiration. The voice and personality of Paul McCartney sings off every page. There has never been a book about a great musician like it.</p>...(*_*)9780141997407_<p><strong>The <em>Sunday Times</em> bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Year, now in paperback</strong></p><p><strong>Paul McCartney says this is as close as he will get to an autobiography and no wonder his life is in every line of these songs ... pure joy</strong> <em><strong>Sunday Times</strong></em>, Book of the Year</p><p>With seven songs added for this edition: Bluebird, Day Tripper, English Tea, Every Night, Hello, Goodbye, Magical Mystery Tour and Step Inside Love</p><p>Spanning seven decades from his early Liverpool days, through the historic decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his long solo career Paul McCartneys <em>The Lyrics</em> has transformed the way artists write about music, pairing the definitive texts of 161 songs with intimate, autobiographical commentaries on McCartneys life and music.</p><p>Arranged alphabetically, these commentaries reveal the diverse circumstances in which the songs were written, how they ultimately came to be, and the remarkable often ordinary people and places that inspired them. Dozens of vignettes re-create the working-class Liverpool of McCartneys youth, where delivery boys ran parcels on docks, as in On My Way to Work, and elderly ladies in the neighbourhood inspired Eleanor Rigby. McCartney also introduces us to his early literary influences, among them Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll and Allen Ginsberg, as well as Alan Durband, his beloved English teacher, and his mother, Mary, who passed away when he was just fourteen and whose memory has infused his work ever since.</p><p>Yet the two most powerful presences in <em>The Lyrics</em> after the author himself are his songwriting partner, John Lennon, and his Golden Earth Girl, Linda Eastman McCartney. Here McCartney describes how he met John at a church fte in 1957; their adventures with George Harrison and Ringo Starr in the early 1960s; and how, at the end of the decade, they, and The Beatles, broke up. Thus began a second act of now more than fifty years, with Linda and family life as driving forces inspiring songs from Maybe Im Amazed, written just after the breakup of The Beatles, to the 2012 ballad My Valentine, addressed to McCartneys wife and partner, Nancy Shevell McCartney.</p><p>Edited and introduced by Pulitzer Prizewinning poet Paul Muldoon, and enhanced by more than a hundred images from McCartneys personal archives including handwritten texts, mementos, and photographs and seven new song commentaries, <em>The Lyrics</em> is a book for the ages, and the definitive literary and visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.</p>...9780141997407_Penguin Books Ltdlibro_electonico_92697219-0bd4-3eeb-a68c-5a3f1be7557b_9780141997407;9780141997407_9780141997407Paul McCartneyInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/penguinrandomhouseuk-epub-07bd85f3-b876-4aa9-8bc6-1fb65dd3897b.epub2021-11-02T00:00:00+00:00Penguin Books Ltd
