Paul MCCARTNEY is inviting fans into his process once again. The legendary rocker of the beatles will launch a podcast this fall that will explore the process of creating 12 of his most iconic songs.
the podcast, Welcome to McCartney: A Life in Lyricsis a collaboration between McCartney and the poet Paul Muldonwith whom McCartney collaborated on his 2021 bestseller The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present.
Each episode focuses on a single song from McCartney’s catalogue, spanning from his early Beatles work to his solo releases. The ad notes that conversations between McCartney and Muldoon delve into the stories, people, experiences and art that inspired the songs. The episodes of the first season will focus on classics like “Eleanor Rigby”, “Back in the USSR”, “Let It Be”, “When Winter Comes”, “Penny Lane”, “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey”, “Here Today “,” Live and let die, “Magical Mystery Tour”, “Jenny Wren”, “Too Many People” and “Helter Skelter”.
The process of creating the book resulted in more than 50 hours of recorded conversations between McCartney and Muldoon. “When we replayed the tapes, we realized that something very special was happening in these conversations,” Muldoon says in the prologue episode released Tuesday. “It was unfiltered McCartney.”
Welcome to McCartney: A Life in Lyrics will release its first episode on September 20, with new episodes to be released weekly. However, Pushkin+ subscribers will have access to the full first season on the day of its release.
In November, McCartney and Muldoon’s book will be published in paperback with additional chapters not present in the hardcover.
