Paul McCartney - Apple Music ‘McCartney III’ Interview 

Paul is the only celebrity whose being seems near-mythological to me. I feel like I'm sharing a timeline with a musical extraordinaire in the vain of Mozart or Beethoven. It's a blessing to have him still around, sharing his stories with the world. What's even nuttier is that he's STILL making great music, and he doesn't look like he's slowing down soon either!

You can’t help but smile when he talks. McCartney is a national treasure

Paul is the caretaker of John, Linda, George, etc., keeping their spirits alive and well with true love from his heart.

This must be the only interview, ever, where he has a chance to talk about his creative process. So much better than the usual boring questions. Paul is the greatest musical genius of our time. These words from him are going to be exceptionally important, both for future songwriters and students of the great man. Like Shakespeare or Dickens, Paul is a talent of historical significance.

I just Know Paul will never stop making music.

Paul McCartney is my hero. I was 14 when he with the Beatles changed music and my life for the better. I still have my first Beatles 45 record, “I Want To Hold Your Hand. The following British Invasion played the soundtrack for my youth and life. I’m an old man now, a bit younger than Paul and in my retirement, I’ve taken my musical abilities, as modest as they are, and have begun to compose, play, sing, record and produce my own music, like Paul, only in the sense that I play all the instruments and do all the production myself. When people ask me what my goal is in doing so, I tell them that I want to compose a song so beautiful that Paul McCartney will want to cover it. Te amo senor McCartney!

I remember John Lennon saying in an interview, that in the future, we will all be able to communicate instantaneously. I couldn't comprehend it at the time, yet here we are. Prophetic.

Just hearing Paul talk is extremely comforting in this time. And the new music is real blessing. Thank you Paul !!

Paul McCartney has done it again and deserves every last bit of praise he gets

I was born in 1970 (McCartney I), years later as a kid, I loved a tune on the radio which was "Don't Say Goodnight Tonight" and I was like 'what Band is this?' and then I felt the same attraction by "Coming Up!" (McCartney II), my question was again 'Who is this?'. Months later I finally discovered it was Paul McCartney!! and realized that all these great songs I liked and loved where him or The Beatles!!! Now, in this crazy year he gave us (McCartney III) Wow!!! He is definitely my mentor, my fav Rock Star!!

Zane Lowe has done a masterful job navigating the McCartney albums as a trilogy and brought a brilliant set of questions to the table. Excellent interview!

The interviewer is handling pauls energy perfectly. His questions are well ordered and well placed and he lets paul talk through his whole point, instead of putting words in his mouth and rushing him for commercial use(like in many tonight shows). He even jokes usung the new album as topic. Love it!!!👍🏻

Can I just say that this man is completely magical... does my soul good to see him looking so well in the face of what's going on.

paul is still so intelligent, beautiful, and kind... we must protect him at all costs

I love what Paul said, "Time is an illusion." If you are constantly creating, also giving and helping others, you really don't have time for looking back or being nostalgic. Always make plans for tomorrow.

I love McCartney and recovered from covid in the hospital listening to McCartney III for the first time. An especially deep deep feeling. Impressed by this music. Thanks, Paul.

Paul has never ceased to amaze me. Never. So grateful that he is not only still with us, but he’s still making music. 💕

It’s refreshing to see an interview done well, by a person having all the right qualities for the job. If you can engage a great mind like Sir Paul McCartney’s with thoughtful questions and observations... you should be given respect for having done so. Also: Thank you, Sir Paul... for the immeasurable amount of Joy you have given! I am forever a fan with the highest level if admiration for all the wonderful things that come together and make Sir Paul McCartney... ✨❤️✨

THIS INTERVIEW IS SO GOOD. PAUL IS OPENING UP SO MUCH !!!

This is INCREDIBLE!!!! We are sooooo lucky to still have Paul and that he is so articulate and so willing to talk and still sooooo talented and still writing. What a giant

Can you imagine if on that day in the 1950s when Paul asked his Dad if he could swap his trumpet for a guitar that his Dad said "no". Thanks Mr McCartney.

Paul is like that one grandparent everybody adores

He's still so cool. And still sharp as a tack.

I can die happy knowing I have the same name as Paul McCartney’s horse.

No words to express what this interview was ! He is the best . No one is like Paul ! This album is fantastic . As sharp as a musician can be . Love you Paul for all the songs you wrote , all the love songs , all the beautiful moments i had listining your songs over the years . Love you .

This is the closest I'll ever get to sitting with Paul McCartney and talking FOR AN HOUR!!! This is awesome 👍

Man has a MAGICAL relationship with musical instruments.

It’s great to see Paul willing to give so much to all of us about his rich musical history and heritage. We don’t know how much longer he’s going to be around but I’m so grateful he’s here still releasing great music

Paul McCartney is a legend!!

One of the best Macca interviews that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Talking about ‘blackbird’ and how the metaphor is so relevant right now for us all. Whilst we have got Paul living and breathing, we have got hope, love and peace.

Paul McCartney continues to outshine. Merry Christmas Paul and Everyone.

52 years loving this man, his creativity, his persona, his humour and his sincerity. Here's to starting 2022 listening to him 🥂🥂🥂❣❤❣

My Daddy plays the upright and fretless bass he’s 80 and still jamming! Played with all the greats except for Beatles ... I’m so happy Paul still jamming too!! ❤️❤️❤️

if paul started a podcast, i would listen to every episode. i can listen to his voice _forever_

McCartney III is tge best thing that happened in 2020❤❤❤

Paul has over the years become very articulate and very polished in his descriptions and the way he presents ideas and feelings about art and song and living. It always is a pleasure hearing him launch and fly along effortlessly about the past or present equally well. He seems to be in the fluidity of the now, that strikes me as being very spiritual in a beautifully nice casual seeming way. Bless you Paul McCartney! Thank you for being you. Love You.

He is in line with Mozart, Beethoven. Eternal. It's like an obsession to listen to his music and interviews. So much insight & inspiration. Also, I admire his patience to answer similar questions over and over. Great interview.❤

Wonderful conversation, I felt like I was in the same room with Paul, I could almost touch him and hear him breathe. Extraordinary feeling...

The world needs more Paul McCartney’s.

Just saw him in concert with my son , and it was like being transported somewhere otherworldly. Was the best performance I’ve ever seen by far, and I’ve seen them all , almost . He is a legend and a genius , but mostly it’s his optimism and what a sweet man he is that makes him so amazing .

Oh my god I love this man

Mccartney lll is an album you put on and hope it never end. Just when we needed Him most. Thank you Sir, can we hope for Mccartney IV in 2022?

One of greatest interview I ever saw of him, so natural, a lot of interesting talk that Sir Paul dive in to it. Great job!!!!!

Even at 79 Paul is still coming up with new music and ideas...rockdown, brilliant.

Remember to keep streaming and to buy, if you can, McCartney III !!! It's a masterpiece 🎲

Paul was so brave to speak out after Bloody Sunday and write Give Ireland back to the Irish. The song was banned and he took so much heat for it. He's a great man

I will net get over Johns unnecessary death. But, Paul and George carried the baton. Do not forget The Travelling Wilberrys . Ringo is all about a perfect drummer , work ethics and they are all about LOVE.

I think that this is the best interview he has ever given.

Hello Paul. It is so nice to see Paul McCartney so close and so simple.

With out a doubt this is one of the best information interviews with Paul McCartney. The Doris Day inside information really sealed it. “Time is an illusion” I get it.. Paul McCartney is being so damm honest. Love it..A music writing genius and he doesn’t even know it. Not sure the name of the interviewer, but he nailed the questions. Think about it, you are interviewing Paul McCartney, you can’t ask the same questions that over the years McCartney heard before, how do I come up with good questions followed by great insight, this is it. Wow! Awesome information interview..

McCartney 3 is a masterpiece

Paul McCartney is a living legend, who else would agree with me as well.

I've loved the Beatles since I got their album "Meet The Beatles" for my 7th birthday. I saw him live in concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2005. I have a framed poster of Paul hanging in my living room. 😁I'm looking forward to his new album!

Of all the promo interviews this is the best one. Paul sounds his most natural, though still the diplomat. The background, his own office, rather than some jumped up arty set, showcases his beautiful taste. Warm colours, art work and instruments, very earthy. The video and sound quality are superb. The interviewer a pseudo intellectual is nonetheless quite warm with better than normal questions, albeit long winded. Overall this is one of Paul's best interviews.

Wings should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too...

I have never seen Sir Paul so enthusiastic during an interview. Could it be that this was done during the pandemic that he was so glad to say hello world, it's gonna be alright eventually, just like in his song Let It Be. He's the forever optimist.

Wonderful interview. I'm very much enjoying McCartney III, it is a positive light in 2020.

Goodness!! When I listen to Paul speak it brings me comfort to know that he still loves music after all these years and loves to share his amazing talent with us. If you are having a bad day, his enthusiasm just makes it all better! Love you Sir💖

So cool to hear him say that, 'You know my name, look up the number" has been a favourite of mine as well since I first heard it. Very Monty Python like in parts, just love it.

Excellent interview. Paul rarely has a chance to express his creative process in such a clear and self-reflective way in most interviews. Even at 78 there is such an energy and enthusiasm in answering questions and sharing stories. Always cool and classy.

I would give anything for a chat with Paul McCartney, the guy is the very embodiment of living history. And I love that he casually has Elvis Presleys Double bass just chillin in the background.

Must be incredible to know that long after you're gone generations will still be listening, studying, learning, and playing your music...not to mention learning the incredible story of the Beatles.

Ive loved him since i was 11. Im in my mid fifties & i still love him. My husband accepts and understands this.

Happy Birthday Paul! I hope you had a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world. Thank you for adding so much rich musical history and content to my life for all these years. What a wonderful person you are, and always have been. I wish I could meet you one day! Much love to you, sir.

His last three albums have seen a resurgence of his career. He's really on a roll. I thought New was his best album since the 70's and Egypt Station and McCartney III went # 1. This latest album is really good.

The fact that the surviving Beatles are still making music is amazing.

Paul McCartney is the greatest musician of all time. The songs he made with the Beatles and solo will be played and loved for hundreds of years to come. 🍀

What an absolute fantastic man.... A true living legend... I had the pleasure of meeting Sir Paul in Chester (in the UK) in 2005. He was with his baby daughter Beatrice at the time. There I was in a relatively empty Tessuti men’s clothes shop in Chester on a Tuesday afternoon....and I walk into a hero of mine, Sir Paul McCartney!...I think he could see my surprise and delight at meeting him. Paul took time out to chat, was very relaxed and down to earth and introduced me to his daughter and was an all round decent, warm, approachable guy. A memory that will stay with me....... keep doing what you do Macca....

Paul you have always and still are a class act! You are the most talented singer/performer/writer/artist and my daughter and I love you! We are so blessed to be able to hear more of your music. You have been an inspiration to me since I was 15 years old when I discovered your music .God Bless you!

He seems quite okay in his own skin. He seems humble in the true sense of the word (humble is a kind of truthful). He knows he is big, he knows his music is good, but he is still just himself and a regular guy. Listening to him talk is just like listening to an interesting neighbor chatting over the fence. He seems just solidly him.

Sir Paul McCartney is one of the people who is always interested in life and has a beautiful soul .

Great interviewer, gave Paul lots of room to express his thoughts. I’m not a huge Beatles fan, but I’m so impressed at how engaged and genuine Paul is in every interview he does. Class act!

Superb Interview, Paul seems so relaxed and focused. I believe the Interviewer asked all the right questions. It gave Paul a timeline to work with and how his McCartney 111 Album came about. I heard some of the tunes and was very impressed!

As a Bass player, I take pride in the fact that the most successful musician ever, is a Bass player. Thanks Paul!❤

Just ordered a copy of McCartney III after rediscovering some of the songs from the criminally underrated McCartney II. Just check out the song 'On The Way'. Genius track! Brilliant guitar playing from Paul too....tone to die for!

Zane Lowe is a Great Interviewer, he seems so comfortable,and relaxed while conversing with and asking Paul insightful questions and being an adult

He looks Amazing . Full of energy

John Paul George and Ringo enriched my life and never knew it.... thanking God for them, their love their music.

Lol! Love it when Paul gets all psychedelic & transcendental with the Doris Day- time is an illusion -side story! Genius! ❤️☮️👏🏽🔥🌞🤟🏾🤡💯✨🌹

So glad to have you in our world Paul, can't wait to hear your new album Rock Down!

Now I understand I am in future! Sitting in Moscow I can listen to this Paul' s interview from London 👍👍👍 Wonderful evening! Paul, you are the best 💕

With all the problems going on our time it’s great that we have this legend still making music. What a legend

it takes a talent like zane lowe to get much more from a guy like paul mccartney!!!!this is a deep dive into macca world!!! thanks for it...cheers!!!!!!

Class act and a REAL legend. We are lucky to be living at the same time as Paul, Bob Dylan and a few other musical giants.

Maybe? No, I'm definitely amazed! Paul's music talent is like the water from a well which never runs dry...! 😆🎶

Best natural interview that I’ve see of Sir Paul, I like that he was allowed to speak (not interrupted) and so interesting. My absolute hero X

Paul you look so healthy and beautiful

I for one could listen to him all day and night and never get bored

He brings me such joy. What a pure honest guy.

this was an unbelievable interview! The first interview about now andnot so much from the past.

Still in love with Paul McCartney! Amazing man and musician❤️

Just a simple yet brilliant interview. Thoughtful, searching questions and the most open and honest answers coupled with a genuine friendliness between the two. Just beautiful. Felt a greater insight into Paul and his ways than ever before. Thank you.

i really dig this interview! it's different than the ones we've been getting for the past five years, everyone seems to ask him the same questions. this one's more in-depth and loose at the same time. it's just funny to me though, @28:50 i wished they'd stay on that, i love hearing about macca's heroes and the stuff that lights him up, but the interviewer goes right back to obsequious praise lol. god bless him though, i'd probably do the same if i had the opportunity. much love to all, thanks for doing this! macca's so great, beautiful soul, beautiful music.

Aside from his brilliance as a music guy, he’s just really amazing. One of the few genuine self-actualized ppl on earth.

McCartney saying, I just did a few songs and was not thinking to release them is like Picasso saying I did a few paintings and was going to just leave them in the shed !

What a genius. Listening to him describe his creative process is wonderful.

Love to listen the old story's from Paul McCartney

I'm a huge McCartney fan, this is one of the best interviews I've seen with McCartney. The one with Idris Elba was, woefully boring. Then, it was aired on the BBC that will no doubt have something to do with it, but the line of question here and how thoughtful Zane is - is fantastic and exactly what you want from the interviewer.

Macca the legend

Paul is as young and brilliant as the first time I saw him The world is a beautiful place because of his presence in it We are all each one of us deeply blessed
