Paul McCartney

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.

  • Speaking words of wisdom…

    "Life is an energy field, a bunch of molecules. And these particular molecules formed to make these four guys, who then formed into this band called the Beatles and did all that work. I have to think that was something metaphysical. Something alchemic. Something that must be thought of as magic." - Paul McCartney
