Paul McCartney has announced new a book of lyrics. The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present compiles 154 of McCartney’s works, from childhood compositions to the Beatles years, to Wings and his current solo albums. The book was edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Muldoon, who also penned the introduction. Watch a trailer for the book below.
“I hope that what I’ve written will show people something about my songs and my life which they haven’t seen before,” McCartney said in press materials. “I’ve tried to say something about how the music happens and what it means to me and I hope what it may mean to others too.”
He added:
In addition to lyrics, the book includes never-before seen photographs, letters, drafts, and more. “Based on conversations I had with Paul McCartney over a five year period, these commentaries are as close to an autobiography as we may ever come,” Muldoon said in press materials. “His insights into his own artistic process confirm a notion at which we had but guessed — that Paul McCartney is a major literary figure who draws upon, and extends, the long tradition of poetry in English.”
