McCartney Times

Paul McCartney has admitted that he still doesn’t “know how to be a songwriter.”The former Beatle says with each album he has to start from scratch when it comes to penning lyrics.”There’s no point where you think ‘OK, now I can do it’, as it’s a little more fluid than that,” McCartney told NPR. “You talk to other musicians and it’s always the same. You go into the studio thinking ‘Oh, I know how to do this’, but then you realise you’re doing it all over again and starting from square one again. You’ve never got it down. Music is fluid, and I like that. I wouldn’t like to be blasé and think ‘I know how to do this.'”
