McCartney Times

Paul McCartney has repeatedly turned down requests to write an autobiography. Instead, he said we can get a good accounting of his life through “my songs, hundreds of them, which I’ve learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.”

The result is this huge two-volume book, which discusses 154 songs McCartney wrote throughout his life with the Beatles, Wings, and as a solo artist. In his own excellent foreword to The Lyrics, he says “fans or readers, or even critics, who really want to learn more about my life should read my lyrics, which might reveal more than any single book about the Beatles could do.”

There is also an introduction written by the Irish poet Paul Muldoon, who helped edit and assemble the book for McCartney. Muldoon is not his ghostwriter; the prose all belongs to the talented man listed as the author.
