Paul McCartney The Lyrics 1956 to the Present Book Unboxing

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

Thank you Andrew for this is s definite plus. Two comments I would like to make. First, I am so glad Paul included songs that over decades have been somewhat over-criticised, namely Ebony and Ivory. Ram and other albums have been reassessed for the magnificent albums and ground breaking territory they chartered. Some others have material, in my mind anyway, have been unfairly maligned. With Ebony and Ivory is a case in point. People calling it saccharine, simplistic, twee etc... We All Stand Together is another (although I didn't look hard enough to see if it was included in the book). Both these examples were massive hits and are still listened to today. Ebony and Ivory may be considered simple, but perhaps this is where individual prejudice comes into play. For each person who makes such a claim there will be another they could counter argue that perhaps this is the whole point. If we want peace in the is world just maybe we need to get back to basics and stop over-politicising and complicating what should come naturally. After all John sang Give Peace a Chance and not a manifesto. Yes I know he did more with the classic 'Imagine'. Besides this Ebony and Ivory has a beautiful melody and a killer hook. It is a well crafted composition of pure pop delight. As for the often named 'Frog Song' I have never understood why it is 'bagged'. For goodness sake it was written as a children's song and as such, especially with the superb animation accompanying video, it is an absolute winner. And for those older, or like me much older I can still enjoy it myself for it is a delightfully imaginative and such a sweet piece. In today's dark and gloomy world it is the optimistic buoyancy of Paul McCartney will need. My second point is to acknowledge and agree with Andrew on this views about the recent media lack of knowledge and respect towards Paul. The latest McCartney bashing seems to have hit the youtube airways in overdrive by individuals who have obviously either very poor knowledge of the Beatle or worse none at all. Many, not all of these people then default to the all familiar John could do no worng mantra. Anyone remotely a Beatle fan knows that John quit the Beatles first. It is a known fact and has been for decades. How can the modern media get this so wrong? A news breaking story,... what absolute nonsense. Again, sharing Andrew's point on the lyrics to a particular song. As he rightly points out the obvious,...only John and Paul would know and guess what? People can have recollections that differ. Especially over an 80 year period. Both John and Paul are geniuses and like every other human on the planet had their faults. However these were hugely overweighed by their brilliance and incredible chemistry. On the latest Get Back doco, there is a part where John smiles at Paul and says,...'in the end all we have is each other'. It is a beautiful tender moment where an entire book who never cover the power of the moment. A lovely coda to 'and in the end the love we take....' Recently on a youtube video I posted that John was the first to say he wanted to quit and that this is historical knowledge. I did not say anything negative about John or even imply anything even slightly of a critical disposition. John to me is a genius responsible for some of the most beautiful music in history. However, I got more replies from that one little comment than anything I have written online. Tragically most of the feedback was highly aggressive and most of it wrong. This has always been a difficult situation for Paul to balance and deal with. How can you tell facts from the past when the other genius becomes iconised and turned into a saint. Something Paul says John never would have wanted. Part of me wonders if Paul undertook this approach partly to avoid such horrid ridicule and blame tossing. Sadly due to John not being here with us we only have Paul to review and articulate his songs and the meaning they have for him. We can't blame Paul for this. This is one half of the best song writing partnership probably since the Gershwin brothers. This is the man who lost his best friend to a deranged murderer. This is a man that despite so many hardships, and yes I include Heather Mills in this, and of course the loss of the love of his live with Linda's passing, has always managed to keep going. Paul has maintained a positive and creative flow throughout his entire life and to be still doing so is an achievement in itself. I hope that this book, which Andrew has done a superb job reviewing, helps address some of the unfair criticisms Paul has had to endure over a lifetime. Sadly I feel the day we lose Paul a lot of critics will overnight turn into Macca fans. To those people I say appreciate everything McCartney has done for this world now. Read this book, listen to his interviews, watch John smile and say those words, remember John saying Paul is his best friend and let's all be grateful and celebrate the life of a living legend.

Two comments? Thank god you kept it brief! The day we lose THIS Paul many wallets will rest easy. For me now, Paul died after the Anthologies. He is just a money making monster since. Past 20 years, once or more a year he's been flogging us something. I've got all the Beatles output 4 times over. It's these past 10yrs where it's top heavy prices like a 6cd Let it Be special at over £100. Many young fans who love Paul are forking it out as they feel they must. Paul does a lot of social media selling & enticing. He captivates them & then💥Pow! he's got 'em by the short & curlies. It disturbs me, really does. What has happened to our cuddly Paul? He was happy with singles & albums & now it's all this stuff every year & big big prices. What's coming next year Paul? Send for Batman!

Hey Andrew, I got my copy from Waterstones and it came with a black bag with the lyrics to “band on the run” printed on it as well as poster and bookmark…awesome book :-)

[@gabrielal1364]

Yeah indeed! I saw too many comments about Paul being "disrespectful" for talking about John and the broke up. All we know (at least, the truly fans) that it was John and his motivation for moving forward with another things with his wife and, sadly, The Beatles wasn't important for him. Paul was acussed many years simply for announce he left The Beatles when all the members were so tired of being together but none of them dared to say it (Luckily, we can notice his truth watching the Get Back docuseries where everybody can notice Paul is the only one who want to keep moving forward and save the band). About Jane Asher, I think the same: it would be nice if she could talk about her experiences with Paul someday. Honestly, I know Paul is married with Nancy and he got married two times before, maybe, this' one of the reasons she doesn't want to talk about her experiences: they had a "short relationship" (if we compare it with Linda's relationship and his current wife) so, maybe, it can be a little bit strange if she talks about a relationship they had 50 years ago, i guess so. Wonderful video! You have an amazing collection! Definitely, The Lyrics is a must in whatever Paul's collection

Well worth reading. I didn't feel he took any more credit than he earned.

He was also a ghostwriter on Lindas' "Sixties:Portrait of a Decade" not only the story is given about each song but the lyrics are also included.It is well worth seeking out.

The only difference is the outer cover, the contents are the same. Personally I would say it's well worth it, especially at the price of under £50 it's often being sold for. Some of the stories are fairly short, and others much more in depth than you might expect. Some of the stories seem to be directly related to the song in question, and others are more around what was happening in his life at the time and the memories it invokes for him.

Nothing to do with the book, but by the way keep up the excellent work, where did you get that cool lamp?

Thanks Bill, here's the story of the lamp 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIrMgoJ9ha9ge7M

Would rather have had the Back to the Egg and London Town reissues. Price tag on the book is too high to tempt me to purchase. Maybe if this was volume one of his thoughts and recollections of all his songs to date and the price was about half, but for now I’ll save my money for musical releases.

[@carlosjaras9640]

I've seen a different cover box from this book., Yours has a pic of a young Paul , but I've seen others cover with no picture, there's a different edition?..

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

It seems different countries may have a different cover.

Will have to come back and watch this at the weekend - avoiding 'spoilers' as my wife has 'intercepted' my copy that arrived today to hold it until my birthday on Friday. Gives me time to finish the Let It Be SDE book in the meanwhle though. 😀

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Enjoy, and happy birthday for Friday!

[@matthewturnage4998]

It's a great looking book, I'm very happy with it. I think your side of the pond got the much better slipcase, though!

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

I agree!

[@arar8792]

if u go tto audible u can hear paul talks bout the lyricks

[@MACCAELVIS]

Is this the uk one

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

It is, I don't know whether any other countries also have this version. Should Oy be the outer covers that differ rather than the contents.

[@laloisaac]

Is it true the “a day in the life” controversy ? Or Paul is just talking about his own part ??? Great video

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks. It's true there's controversy. Paul is talking about the parts he claims to have written/helped with. I guess only he and John will ever know the truth.

[@laloisaac]

@@AndrewDixonMusic ups ....You are right Only them ( and sometimes they make mistskes ) Thx again !!!

[@petejp1]

Hi Andrew, I think I prefer the cover you have over the green cover we got here in the u.s. oh well. I skimmed through the book today and like the way it is done except I would have preferred chronological order instead of alphabetical but that's a small quibble. The thing that surprised me was the inclusion of ticket to ride. John had said that was his song and Paul's contribution Was the drum beat that ringo played. Overall a great addition to all the Beatles books that have come out recently.

We had flaming pie this year didn’t we?

That was last year 🙂👍

Have not ordered this yet, but will offcourse do this very soon! Great to be living in a time when we can get new products released by Paul McCartney!

[@lewisreading47]

Loved the vid Andrew! If i hadnt have spent up id be ordering this right now, Paul has grown on me this last year and this book would be perfect for me. Lets hope Father Christmas puts me on his nice list and brings it ms for christmas fingers crossed

[@sharonevans6864]

So enjoyed this Andrew, anxiously awaiting my copy today. Know there will be a bit of controversy but this is something that to me is a must have. Enjoy your read. Take care.

Let it Be 6cd/vinyl over £100, Lyrics book £60, Get Back book I've heard £30 maybe. It never stops. It's not the Paul I know & love. He died after the Anthologies & this Paul burst forth £#£#£#£#£..

[@billharvey5256]

The cover is different than us copy is that a import.

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

This is the version released in the UK

[@TheSchemel]

Please do another review of this book. Maybe a live show, so we could have everyone's opinion?

[@seltaeb9691]

Paul McCartney did die years ago because Let It Be 6cd/vinyl special really special at over £100 & now the piece de resistance his lyrics book at nearly £70! All nicely ready for Xmas. What is he on? Not the man I respected, not this man, love the music & the man I once knew. Paul did really die just after Anthologies. Sad, very sad. RIP Paul.
