Paul McCartney: "John and I never wanted to have a formula."

Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney dropped in to talk with Kyle Meredith about his 2013 release, New, and tried to answer the age-old question of how he and John Lennon wrote so many iconic songs in The Beatles. McCartney dives deep into his songwriting techniques, shedding light on the traps he tries to avoid.

The legendary musician goes on to share how he maintains a personal connection with his classics, leaving room for rediscovery of the less celebrated songs. McCartney also discusses the critical reevaluation that eventually found his post-Beatles band, Wings.

Check out the interview above and then watch the video below.

Kyle is the WFPK Music Director. Email Kyle at kmeredith@lpm.org
