Face to Face with Paul McCartney

BY LINE ABRAHAMIAN

from November, 2005 Canadian Reader's Digest


RD: Your new album has been billed as being "more you." What does that mean?

McCartney: When the producer, Nigel Godrich, and I first met, I was talking about directions that it might be fun to go in, new experimental things I might want to try. He said, "I think I want to make a record that's you." He said that's what people want to hear. So I think what it meant in this case was that there are no frills; what you see is what you get. There isn't a lot of elaborate production. I wrote the songs, I sang, I played a lot of the instruments, and I think that makes it more me as well. I think he had that in mind while he was producing the album. As I was doing it, Nigel would say, "I'd like to hear you play the guitar on this." So I'd go and play some guitar. And he'd say, "Oh, I really like that-it's a nice feel. Would you please play some drums on it now?" And gradually this started to be the basis of the album. I've done albums like this before, where I have actually played every instrument-like the first album I did after leaving The Beatles. He really pulled me in that direction.

RD: In terms of the content-the lyrics and messages of your songs-is that still very much you?

McCartney: I think I may be at a point in my life where what I'm going to write about, I want it to be meaningful to me. Sometimes I feel more escapist and I think, Right, let's write a song like "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and write about Molly and Desmond, fictional characters, and just escape into a fantasy world. This record doesn't have so much of that; it's not autobiographical, but it's probably more personal.

RD: What song do you think reveals the most, or too much, about you?

McCartney: [Laughs.] I don't think any of them reveal too much or they wouldn't be on the album. Maybe the song "Riding to Vanity Fair." Normally, if I'm hurt, I just swallow it and get on with my life. That's the kind of person I am: I just repress it. But what I've found myself doing more on this album is to put those feelings into the song. So that particular song is about all the times when I've offered friendship to someone and it's been rejected, which happens to everyone, all the time. [Sings] "I was open to friendship, But you didn't seem to have any to spare, While you were riding to Vanity Fair". It's just a way of getting out that hurt. And normally I think that's something for me to deal with privately, but a lot of artists use that kind of stuff. I haven't done too much of that because I find it a bit difficult to do. I'm probably more at home writing a song about something I love.

RD: Back in the '60s and '70s, there was the Vietnam War and the IRA's campaign against the British, and you had songs like "All You Need Is Love" and "Give Peace A Chance." Do these songs still hold true in a world being torn apart by bombings? It seems nothing has changed from the '60s to today-is there any hope in the world?

McCartney: Yeah, I think so. I'm pretty optimistic. Unfortunately history is filled with war and peace. "All You Need Is Love" was a song of its time. When 9/11 happened, I was in New York-at JFK airport-and spent quite a bit of time watching the whole thing unfold on TV. I found myself responding to that, and I wrote "Freedom," which resonated in America.

Paul McCartney: What Do I Do When I'm 64?

POSTED: 8:20 am EST November 2, 2005
CORK, Ireland -- Paul McCartney's kids want him to lay low for his next birthday. That's when he'll be 64.


McCartney told the Irish Examiner his kids want him to avoid the media references to the Beatles song "When I'm 64," which they think will be awful.

McCartney said his kids have told him, "Dad, you must not be on the face of the planet next year." McCartney is thinking of ignoring them and flaunting it. He said he may be "in the thick of it" and he's taking suggestions on what he should do.

He has said before he may re-record the song. He said he once ran into a woman who did the song as "When I'm 84" because she thought 64 didn't seem very old. He said he may take that hint from her next year.

Что я буду делать, когда мне будет 64?

Дети Пола МакКартни хотят, чтобы Пол не высовывался из дома на его следующем день рождение, когда ему исполнится 64 года.
МакКартни сказал, что его дети хотят его оградить от ссылок СМИ на битловскую песню "When I'm 64," что будет ужасно. Они сказали Полу, что не хотят, чтобы он был на виду у всего мира. МакКартни думает пригнорировать и плюнуть на все. Он сказал, что ,наверное, окажется в самой гуще этих событий, и принимает предложения, как ему поступить в этом случае.
До этого Пол говорил, что может быть перезапишет песню. Он сказал, что однажды встретился с женщиной, которая переделала песню на "When I'm 84"(Когда мне будет 84 ), потому как она считает, что в 64 года человек еще не такой старый. Пол сказал, что возможно воспользуется ее советом в следующем году.

McCartney mixes old and new to wow crowd

By GENE STOUT
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER POP MUSIC CRITIC

It took him nearly 40 years to do it, but it was entirely worth the wait.
Paul McCartney, still slender and gorgeous at 63, returned to the former Seattle Center Coliseum, now KeyArena, for the first time since the Beatles' hysteria-inducing performances of the mid-1960s.

With a four-member band led by keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens and featuring lead guitarist Rusty Anderson, McCartney led a capacity crowd -- mature, but no less enthusiastic than the screaming hordes of the '60s -- on a celebratory journey through his musical past, from the Beatles and Wings to songs from his new solo album, "Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard."

Scheduled to start at 8 p.m., the concert was delayed by at least 30 minutes and began with a pre-show DJ and 10-minute film on McCartney's life and career, from the bombing of London during World War II to the recent Live 8 concerts. Dressed in black trousers, turquoise shirt and black sport jacket, McCartney launched the show with a boisterous "Magical Mystery Tour," the first of more than a dozen classic Beatles songs. McCartney stuck to the 36-song set list featured at other recent shows.

The show featured several songs at the piano and a three-song acoustic set that began with the '50s-sounding "In Spite of All the Danger," the first recording made by McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison in their pre-Beatles days. Among the best songs from his new solo album was the somber, sentimental "Jenny Wren," which closed the short solo set.

McCartney played a vintage Hofner bass guitar, an instrument featured on a number of older songs. For his solo song "Flaming Pie," six light clusters above the stage appeared like space-age chandeliers. Above the stage was a giant LED screen showing close-ups of the band.

Behind McCartney, Wickens, Anderson, guitarist and bassist Brian Ray, and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. was a giant backdrop of video panels displaying animated imagery and documentary footage.

"Greetings, Seattle," McCartney cheerfully announced before a spirited version of "Jet."

"We have come for many miles to rock you tonight -- and we will."

"Drive My Car" was accompanied by vintage films of 1950s dream cars. McCartney introduced the sentimental "Till There Was You" as a "smooching song" from the Beatles' cabaret days. The song was accompanied by a backdrop of clouds and blue sky. "Let Me Roll It" featured a snippet of Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady."

For "Fine Line," the first song from his current solo album, a piano rose from the stage floor, and McCartney joked about falling into the hole on the second night of the tour. Anderson induced the new song by tossing a fortune cookie into the crowd, then reading the fortune aloud: "Now is the time to try something new."

Another charming song from his current solo album was the delicate, sentimental "English Tea," accompanied by an animated English garden scene complete with oversize butterflies. The song featured the entire band, except Anderson, who returned for the Beatles song "I'll Follow the Sun."

"Blackbird," "Eleanor Rigby" and "Good Day Sunshine" were highlights of the show's second hour. McCartney proudly mentioned that "Sunshine" had been used last summer to awaken NASA space shuttle astronauts. The beautiful "Blackbird," he explained, was adapted from a J.S. Bach piece.

Pyrotechnics were featured on "Live and Let Die," which preceded the first encore of "Yesterday," "Get Back" and "Helter Skelter."

The second encore began with "Please Please Me," continued with "Let It Be" (played on psychedelic-themed upright piano topped by a candle) and ended with a guitar-heavy version "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

The show ended at about 11:30 p.m. with a hail of confetti.
