The second season of Paul's very enjoyable podcast in which he discusses his songwriting with poet Paul Muldoon (co-author of McCartney's "Lyrics" book) is coming soon.
Details from American Songwriter:
...among the songs that will be profiled on upcoming episodes are “Yesterday,” “Band on the Run,” “Hey Jude,” and “Here, There and Everywhere.” Muldoon points out that the latter tune is McCartney’s favorite song that he wrote.
The preview also features snippets of McCartney talking about a couple of his songs.
In one segment, he explains how he came up with the idea for “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
“I was with our roadie, Mal [Evans], and he said, ‘Will you pass the salt and pepper?’” McCartney explains. “And I misheard him. I said, ‘What? Sgt. Pepper?’”
In another clip, McCartney shares that he’s fond of a specific line from “Here, There and Everywhere”: “Changing my life with a wave of her hand.”
“I look at those kind of lyrics now and sort of think, ‘Where did that come from?’” he notes. “It says a lot in a line.”
