âMichelleâ from 1965âs Rubber Soul started as a kind of light-hearted party piece. But in McCartneyâs quest to turn it into a legitimate Beatles song, he went on a bit of a journey to sound not only like a believable French chanteur but also to expand his approach to bass playing, taking inspiration from Motownâs James Jamerson.

This episode deals with themes and events surrounding the Northern Ireland conflict. As such, this episode may be traumatic or emotional for some listeners.
Paul McCartney doesnât view himself as a writer of protest songs. But the events of Bloody Sunday sufficiently moved him to use his voice. Rush released as Wings first single in 1972, âGive Ireland Back To The Irishâ was banned in Britain by the BBC and in the US radio avoided playing it. However, through any criticism, McCartney stood steadfastly behind the release which ultimately reached number one in Ireland.

The breadth of Paul McCartneyâs influences is astounding. One of the many surprising places McCartney found inspiration was in the music of his parentâs generation. For 1966's âHere, There and Everywhereâ, he found himself looking to write something akin to Fred Astaireâs 1935 classic âCheek to Cheek.â In the process, McCartney wrote what might be his favorite song in his catalog.

In 1968 the longest song to ever reach number one on the Billboard charts was Paul McCartneyâs epic âHey Judeââclocking in at seven minutes and twelve seconds. The song was written to soothe John Lennonâs son Julian amid his parentâs divorce. But as with all great works, it has come to mean something a little different to everyone who hears it.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon had a knack for finishing each other's songs. They collaborated by lending ideas for verses, choruses and middle eights many times over the course of their partnership. 1967âs âA Day in the Lifeâ is one of the most prominent examples of McCartney and Lennonâs collaboration. What started as a Lennon song, once worked on with McCartney, became a truly collaborative pieceâand a standout in The Beatlesâ catalog.

From his earliest days as a songwriter, Paul McCartney was interested in love songs. But by the time of Wingâs 1976 album âAt the Speed of Soundâ McCartney had become tired of critics suggesting that was all he wrote. And so he wrote the albumâs lead single, a defiant anthem about the importance of love in our lives, and named it âSilly Love Songs.â Through discussing this song with Paul Muldoon, McCartney also touches on some of the other love songs in his catalogue: âCanât Buy Me Love,â âAll My Loving,â âI Willâ and one he wrote for his wife, Nancy ââMy Valentine.â

âDrink to me, drink to my healthâ were among the last words spoken by the great Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. On somewhat of a lark, Dustin Hoffman challenged Paul McCartney to use those words to write a song â on the spot. McCartney indulged Hoffman and, without hesitation, an early version of âPicassoâs Last Words (Drink to Me)â poured out of him.

One day in the car, Paul McCartney heard a BBC production of the absurdist play âUbu Cocuâ by french writer Alfred Jarry. Taken by the rebelliousness of the radio play, McCartney wrote a sweet-sounding tune about a murderous medical student that seemingly lives in the same universe as Ubu: âMaxwellâs Silver Hammer.â

Paul McCartney found himself in a tricky place after The Beatlesâ break up. What did his musical future look like without the three musicians heâd spent half of his life building a musical rapport with? McCartneyâs other band, Wings, and an impromptu tour of UK colleges helped him find his footing.

Countless decisions, large and small, aided The Beatlesâ ascent to the top of popular culture. The release of their debut single, âLove Me Do,â in the UK in the fall of 1962 was one of those decisions. Their debut on American television was another. In this first episode of season two, Paul McCartney and Paul Muldoon discuss the early evolution of The Beatles.

Season 1 of âMcCartney: A Life in Lyricsâ concludes with a band in flux. The Beatles had evolved significantly by 1968 from when they first released âLove Me Do.â Back then, they were only competing with the likes of Andy Williams, Little Stevie Wonder, and Peter Paul and Mary. But by the recording of the âWhite Album" The Beatles were up against acts on the charts with a more hard driving sound like Cream, The Who, and Sly and the Family Stone. Paul McCartney sensed an opportunity to jump into the fray himself and wrote a song that many consider to be the genesis of the hard rock and metal genres.

Many observers have tried to pinpoint the specific events that lead to Lennon-McCartney, the formidable songwriting partnership, transitioning to Lennon v. McCartney. But the fact is there is no single truth regarding why the beloved duo split. So instead of investigating the why, we look at the aftermath: legal battles, hurtful accusations in song and, ultimately, a sense of resolution. âToo Many Peopleâ opens Paul and Linda McCartneyâs 1971 album, âRAMâ and serves as an opening to explore Lennon-McCartneyâs dissolution ahead of ultimately resolving their differences and rekindling a friendship.

âLong Tailed Winter Bird,â âBluebird,â and âSingle Pigeonâ are just a few of the many bird-oriented songs Paul McCartney has written over the years. His love of ornithology extends back before his songwriting days to his early childhood. âBlackbirdâ, one of the most universally cherished songs in his canon, was born of that love and worked well with the civil rights allusions that were the songâs subtext. The latter day companion of âBlackbirdâ, âJenny Wren,â was also born of that love. Released 40 years apart, those two songs explore McCartney as an ornithologist as well as the ways in which heâs in dialogue with his songs as a writer.

âMagical Mystery Tourâ was inspired by a holiday bus from Liverpool to a mystery destinationâoften ending up in the carnivalesque seaside town of Blackpool. Itâs one of the best examples of The Beatles further dipping into the eraâs psychedelic subculture. The production of the song delivers a dense and lively atmosphere, from the opening brass fanfare to the flanging piano in the coda.

James Bond themes were handled by soulful or sultry vocalists in the decade since 1963âs âFrom Russia With Love.â Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and even Louis Armstrong had taken turns singing themes and secondary themes for the films. The Broccoli family who produces the James Bond franchise expected nothing less when they asked Paul McCartney to write the theme for âLive and Let Die.â What they didnât expect was for him to perform it too. And for the songâ1973âs âLive and Let Dieââto become the most popular theme of the series thus far.

Warning: This episode begins with a description of the assassination of John Lennon.
John Lennonâs assassination has reverberated across decades, country and culture. On the 8th of December, 1980 the world lost one of its greatest creative forces and advocates for peace. And Paul McCartney lost even more: a collaborator, a bandmate, and a dear friend. As McCartney sat in the upstairs room of his Sussex home, mourning his loss, he picked up a guitar, found a comforting set of chords and began memorializing his friendship with Lennon in song.

As Paul McCartneyâs life moved further away from the centering force of Liverpool, the distance, both physical and cultural, started becoming increasingly apparent. It's a distance described by Paul as inevitable, if regrettable. âUncle Albert / Admiral Halseyâ is Paulâs expression of the dual longing for home one can experience while also longing to create a new life full of adventure. Released on Paul and Lindaâs âRAMâ album in 1971, the song is layered with meaning and references to his contradictory feelings.
