His new record includes a song called “That Was Me,” an upbeat rock tune on which he demonstrates that his voice is still capable of startling clarity and range. The song contains a verse about his Beatle days: “That was me / Sweating cobwebs / Under contract / In the cellar / On TV / That was me!” I mentioned that the song seems to express amazement at the life he has led.
“That’s exactly it, and I am amazed,” he said. “How could I not be? Unless I just totally blocked it off. There were four people in the Beatles, and I was one of them. There were two people in the Lennon-McCartney songwriting team, and I was one of them. I mean, right there, that’s enough for anyone’s life. And there was one guy who wrote ‘Yesterday ,’ and I was him. One guy who wrote ‘Let It Be ,’ ‘Fool on the Hill,’ ‘Lady Madonna ’—and I was him, too. All of these things would be enough for anyone’s life. So to be involved in all of them is pretty surprising. And you have to pinch yourself. That’s what that song is about.”

Paul McCartney , the one and only. My appreciation of the man has only grown with time and can see things from his point of view.
