I’ve had a few songs that have come to me like that; be they in a dream or when I’m feeling some particularly strong emotions. But yeah, most of them are the result of a conscious effort to make good music.
Miguel Pereira it’s crazy cause if you study the beatles music and paul’s music as a solo artist you would need to attend music theory classes to write something like that but for him it comes naturally. The beatles were music geniuses
Once I played a slow, beautiful piece on the flute and the night after that, I had a dream with a melody which was related to the piece, but the cool thing was that I actually saw the matching notes in my head! This happens sometimes, in my case...🥰😍😍😁
He was born to be Great!! And clearly you can see that he was the smartest of the Beatles! But however, all the members of the Beatles were genius too!
Right! It's funny, i was just watching a ginger baker interview before this and ginger was the EXACT OPPOSITE. He absolutely hated answering the same questions or any questions he deemed to be stupid/pointless or not up to his standards
I was on a huge Beatles kick for years and what I always found cool was that you could basically listen to any song and say “This was written by John” or “This was Paul” by the guitar “structure.” Then if you still couldn’t figure it out, it was probably George! Just can’t imagine where music would be without the Beatles!
@@jasonhutter7534 That’s actually a pretty interesting question and I think would depend on how you define complicated…The best comparison I can make would be Penny Lane vs Across the Universe. Penny Lane(Paul) does a lot of moving the lower note in a chord, like “linking” his chord changes. I’d consider it technically challenging. Across the Universe(John) is more “abstract” and not as “grounded” in theory as Paul’s playing. It’s more experimental, if that makes any sense? With Paul, you can normally sense where he is going while John does more unexpected/out there kind of stuff. That was the opinion of myself and my guitar teacher after I had gone through a few years of Beetlemania😂

unarmed black man Excuse me? You know this band refused to play to a segregated audience, right? They forced the venue to integrate. Ringo and Paul have both raised money for BLM.
Paul has incredible fond and warm memories about John and his former bandmates that it's wonderful to hear him speak about them so caringly and kindly.
Makes me think of the Sound City documentary when Dave Grohl is playing with Paul. Dave says something like, "It's great when it's that easy," in reference to making a song. And, Paul replies, "It's always that easy."
0:22 I lost my little girl (No intro graphic) 1:10 Yesterday 1:50 I saw her standing there 3:38 And I love her 4:49 Eleanor Rigby 8:21 A day in the life 11:11 Hey Jude 14:05 Helter Skelter 16:33 Blackbird 18:17 Let it be 20:19 Hi hi hi 21:27 Here today 23:02 Jet 25:21 I don’t know (Name of the song) P.S. Everything he says before the little graphic is in reference to the previous song (:
The love he had for John is so clear, in that he wrote hey Jude for Julian Lennon, as he was a little kid going through a divorce of his parents- how lovely
It really is. His enthusiasm for the bands entire catalogue, and all music come to think of it, really is refreshing. It’s like a fan and the rock star in one body. God bless him.
@@olskzeri782 it's really embarrassing that you've been commenting about a fake conspiracy for years on youtube. How many comments even are there, they are everywhere and I probably haven't even seen all of them. I could imagine how you look like in real life, an old man with a hunchback and paul mccartney posters all over your basement wall where you would comment every day 24/7. Do you even have a life or is this just your life because I can't imagine typing so many comments with a job to do and a life to live
@@cheekychunkSR certainly; one of Chicago's biggest hits is called 25 or 6 to 4 and it's about the difficulties of songwriting, with 25 or 6 to 4 being 25 or 26 minutes to 4am, because the singer is up so late trying to come up with lyrics
it really love that too, I think it's because when you make something you think is cool, you never get tired of talking about it when asked! It's a really warm feeling :))))
What an amazing liar he is. He NEVER wrote a single song in his life. Lol you morons believe just about everything you hear. Lemme guess you think the vaccine actually works too right? 😂idiots
0:21 I Lost My Little Girl 1:11 Yesterday 1:51 I Saw Her Standing There 3:40 And I Love Her 4:51 Eleanor Rigby 8:23 A Day In The Life 11:13 Hey Jude 14:07 Helter Skelter 16:35 Blackbird 18:19 Let It Be 20:21 Hi, Hi, Hi 21:29 Here Today 23:04 Jet 25:23 I Don't Know
I'm glad that Paul gave credit to George Harrison on "And I Love Her" and saying that the song would not be half the song if it wasn't for that riff. Great going.
Maybe because now he didn't see him for at least 39 years it doesn't feel right to call him by his first name. I mean, John Lennon has been dead for much longer than they even knew each other, and in the meantime he made lots of other friends who might be a lot dearer to him.
Acdc and the beatles have a diff era and music. Sounds funny but its a good thing that they recognized each others music besides their difference. By the way, Bon Scott was one of the members of the band called "The Valentines" who sangs Build me up, Buttercup" 😀 Isn't it interesting?
It is a shame that James Paul McCtney DIED late 1966 and they COVERED it up. This is why we have William talking nonsense about the early days BEFORE he joined Beatles (late 1966 "as an already set up affair")
@Donna G okay? I was just making a joke. A joke playing off of the old saying that something is so easy for someone that they can "do it in their sleep." About 70 other people seemed to understand, based on the likes I received. Apparently, you were not among that 70. If I had written "This dude wrote one song in his sleep", it would have taken some of the punch out of the joke, don't you think? Edit: Over 500 people Edit 2: Over 14,000 people
I admit to being a mega-McCartney fan. Having said that, he really seems to have a humble awareness of what the Beatles were and are. As well as himself. When I saw him I n concert he genuinely seemed to enjoy and connect with all of us. Amazing, considering it had to be his . . . 1 bazillionth sho! He shared some personal feelings, sort of prequel to song like If you were here, Let It Be, My Love and many more.
I cannot believe I live in a world with The Beatles and I’m so grateful to be alive in a time where Paul and Ringo are still alive. There will never be another Beatles. Never.
@@olskzeri782 you must be very bored constantly trying to bait people on multiple comments. I think you genuinely need to talk to a health professional if this stuff gets you off. Anyway hope you are happy
@@ssusggus Okay, guy. Have you ever heard of this thing…it’s a noun. I think its called a joke? I think that mean a “thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline”, you’re the only one up in arms
This is literally just how inspiration works for musicians. Sometimes there is just this urge to write a song because you can just tell that you are going to get into the flow of it. It is a feeling that I can't really describe.
He could lord it over anyone with hits and songwriting. The Beatles are so Great they make all the 50's guys seem so small, except maybe Elvis...even Ray Charles and Chuck Berry no disrespect,but they are not in the same league or anywhere close as songwriters...
Yeah. He is very matter of factly recounting things. Some may interpret his statements as boastful, but of course when you are recounting the writing of "Yesterday" or "Hey Jude" or so many other timeless gems, and you are recalling doing concerts where the uncontrolled screaming never needed and the band couldn't even hear themselves over the screaming, it's not boasting. It is documented fact.
I was stood at Eleanor Rigby's resting place a week ago. Penny lane, the fire station. Paul and John's old childhood homes, Strawberry fields. Best day possible.
I'm 52 & didn't really grow up a Beatles fan, but getting to know them & see them interact on the Get Back documentary was amazing & I have a new appreciation for them. Paul is gifted. He acts like it's no big deal, but pulling #1 songs like "Get Back" out of thin air is mind-blowing. And anyone who's seen that documentary won't have any doubt that John & Paul had a special bond - there were just amazing together.
I would fall to sleep. He would be lying, putting a spin on things. I like the early Beatles stuff they wrote. Paul, John, George. Some of the chords were very nice. Not just in Beatles songs, but other artists also in that early, mid sixties period had interesting chords.
@@FormulaVase-kp3dc exactly. Plus he was likely thinking of making new tunes before hand. We tend to dream about everything that happened the day before. He might not have had the melody before but most likely before he slept, thought about making a song. Its very cool how he explains music tho, its so simple just dont over think it and make good music
Sometimes I am absolutely baffled at the idea that I'm alive at the same time as an actual legend. There has not been a moment since the beginning of the Beatles popularity that he has lost his fame (every Beatle for that matter.) They literally made history, nearly every one in the world knew who they were at at least one point. I just can't believe I'm alive at the same time as someone who is this universally famous
Congratulations. I know what you mean. I felt I was incredibly lucky to see him in concert a few years ago. It was like, "this man is the greatest pop song writer alive in the world today."
the fact that Paul is still willing to do 30 minute interviews at all is something I really appreciate, let alone going into detail on his songwriting process 😍
Paul is a very gregarious and outgoing person. I have met people like that. They can tell the same stories, again and again, with as much enthusiasm as the first time. I think this is a very rare quality. I am glad Paul was blessed with this personality trait to give us an insight to so much. As an introvert myself, this would have been impossible for me to do.
Bri G Paul McCartney died on 9/11/1966 in that fatal Car Crash Satanic Occult ritual The Man you are seeing in this interview is William Shepard ( Billy Sheers) William Shepard had plastic Surgery to look almost exactly like Paul McCartney The Beatles were a syops creation by The Tavistock Corporation MI 5 British Government The Freemasons illuminati There is footage of Paul McCartney calling him self William his Real Name Read the book "The Memoirs of Billy Sheers"
@@maxcrimson6416 it is real you just have to do the research McCartney's son James McCartney is William Shepards SON Not Paul McCartney James McCartney looks exactly like William Shepard before Plastic Surgery You can compare the photos Read the Novel The Memoirs of Billy Sheers ( the nine after 909 edition) that is the updated version It is only available to buy on line Amazon it is very important to read that book also listen to pod casts by Milk Williams the Information he has presented is back up with FACTS of his in-depth research You can listen to Mike Williams pod casts here on YOU TUBE sage of Quay they are called
@@Rubarb51 I never thought I'd find someone who actually believed this. Most people preach this stuff ironically because it's so totally absurd that it's funny.
@@Qwerty-ks8dn every human action outside the house is a virtue signal of some kind. Even attaching virtue signaling, is a type of a virtue signaling to a specific subculture.
@@Qwerty-ks8dn no it's a gross oversimplification of signaling theory which is a form of evolutionary biology. I was attempting to be sarcastic and pointing out the irony that using "virtue signaling" as a perjorative, is in itself a type of signaling and specifically, a virtue signal for a specific type of online subculture. But I clearly failed, my bad. But the actual science and reasoning is solid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j5Q749ALjIc.html
The mark of true musical genius is whether the music stands the test of time. I can listen to even their early stuff mid ‘60’s and it still sounds fresh and unique 😎🙏❤️👍
I was thinking the same thing myself. I was raised on The Beatles. I’m 44 now and their music has yet to wear out for me. It’s still: volume up, windows down, singing along with the band. Makes me feel alive!
Over the past few years I’ve got myself hooked on ‘Dr Robert’ the rhythm and beat of that one song can be heard throughout much of their early successful songs. NOBODY even comes close to having that ability💕
“So I woke up and I had the melody of yesterday...” Dude, there are literally millions of people who were inspired by that song, and are you saying you composed that while you’re sleeping?
@@rafasha2222 this man knows the truth don't make him stop he's one of the few people that does know the truth and I'm surprised very few people do because Paul McCartney or supposed Paul McCartney has even admitted in a book to everyone what happened and how Paul died
@FBI Alypstick this man knows the truth you should really look into it just read the book read the book that you're supposed to Paul McCartney just wrote and he'll tell the whole story about Paul McCartney died and how he took his place you can get it on Amazon
@@hundredgins8869 there is no evidence. No history of William before Paul's supposed death. All that talent and no history. Even professional voice recognition experts said the same voice. Your voice is like your fingerprints, no two are the same. Case closed.
Can we vote to get this lack of creativity comment off the internet. I’m getting tired of seeing it on EVERY video I watch. How much money do you have? Yes. How fast can you run? Yes. How many points can you score? Yes. We get it. You saw a comment and thought “hey if I copy that.....I’m cool and creative too!” No (See THATS creative)
I thought of that one exactly, but John had his moments of loneliness and sadness as well as of joy and hope, like All You Need Is Love and Across the Universe.
Seriously, while Paul is still alive they should do a “classic albums” type program and sit with him and go through the masters of EVERY Beatles album and ask him EVERYTHING he can remember, I’ll bet he could talk for hours about each record. I’d happily listen to him for hours on end.. fascinating bloke.
I always loved Eleanor Rigby. It was always playing on the radio when my friends parents took us waterskiing..the memories a song can invoke is amazing!
Watching Paul McCarthy writing "Get Back" out of thin air in the new documentary of the same name was breathtaking. It was magical and am so glad it was captured on film for the world to see. #Grateful
0:22 I lost my little girl 1:11 Yesterday 1:53 I saw her standing there 3:41 And I love her 4:53 Eleanor Rigby 8:26 A day in the life 11:13 Hey Jude 14:07 Helter skelter 16:34 Blackbird 18:19 Let it be 20:21 Hi, hi, hi 21:30 Here today 23:04 Jet 25:23 I don't know
19:33 I know what you mean Paul. I lost my mom and I had a dream about her at a garden party where she was attended by one of our family dogs. She was happy and I knew she was there for me in my struggle at the time. Your family will always be there for you even if you can't see them. Stay strong everyone.
It would make more sense as one gets older. A 17 or 18 year old boy would just think "Yeah, shes just 17, so ? Shes just a chick". But an older man would think "Yeh, I know. A hot little number !"
I was a slow learner, I didn't love the Beatles until Sgt. Pepper came out. I liked the song "I Feel Fine" the first time I heard it on the radio but I thought it was great foolishness to scream at a live performance so one couldn't hear anything. My grandmother took me to the movie 'A Hard Days Night ' and everyone screamed IN THE THEATER; Madness! Then our music teacher played Sgt. Pepper and I knew the genius of The Fab Four was real. All my kids sang 'When I'm 64' to me last March. I love bringing the magic to each new generation and I couldn't be prouder that they all know and love the boys!
He is probably the most humble person i have ever seen. And what's most astounding is the fact that his humility is genuine and not merely a facade. For him to say that people "like" 'let it be' is such an understatement for a song that's often been regarded as perhaps the most soothing and beautiful song ever written. There is nothing more to say about this man other than the fact that he is "The greatest of all time".
@dtm j Paul had nothing to do with the composition (lyrical or instrumental) of Something. In fact, during this period George shunned any suggestions or comments by Paul
That's not how it worked. It was who brought the song into the studio (Lennon and McCartney had long ago agreed to share credit as a team). Virtually no song was complete when they entered the studio. Everyone offered help to finish a song or change a chord or create an intro. In fact, George is most often given credit for one of the most iconic opening chords in all of R&R, the G7 with added 9th and suspended 4th chord that opens the song and album to “A Hard Days Night.” But that was and remains a Lennon and McCartney "original."
I can't imagine being a man who's done something that has, in the most literal sense of the term, touched the emotional notes of everyone on this earth. Well done Sir Paul McCartney. You have served humanity well.
Ha ha ha. You are SO NAIVE. Firstly your opinions doesn't reflect all of humanity (thankfully). I have a strong dislike for William and the things he have done since he took over. I care about James Paul McCartney. Not the replac...men.t
His real name is William and you will get to know that in the future. That is why i am so against you normies hyping him up to the way you will do. You will strongly regret all the nice words about Bill when the truth is out.
My Mum was born and raised in Liverpool in 1936 and lived through the Blitz, etc. She came to the States at 21 not knowing a soul which was very brave of her. She also worked next door to The Cavern, during the day and had no idea that's where The Beatles got their start! I as a kid around 8 years old started listening to The Beatles, dancing in my basement, etc.. and you changed my world! Later on my Mum realized how great you were! LEGENDS! I saw Sir Paul when Linda was still in the band years ago and will never forget "Hey Jude" and how thousands of fans all just became ONE! It was MAGIC!
Paul always comes across as such a nice guy. He has written some of the best music ever and he stays extremely humble and down to earth about his accomplishments.
