Krátky popis
A self-portrait in 154 songs, by our greatest living
songwriter'More often than I can count, I've been asked if I would
write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one
thing I've always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is
to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a
certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from
the past, but I have no such notebooks.What I do have are my songs,
hundreds of them, which I've learned serve much the same purpose.
And these songs span my entire life.' In this extraordinary book,
with unparalleled candour, Paul McCartney recounts his life and art
through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career - from
his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of
The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present. Arranged
alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological
account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs' lyrics for
the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were
written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he
thinks of them now.Presented with this is a treasure trove of
material from McCartney's personal archive - drafts, letters,
photographs - never seen before, which make this also a unique
visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. We
learn intimately about the man, the creative process, the working
out of melodies, the moments of inspiration. The voice and
personality of Paul McCartney sings off every page.There has never
been a book about a great musician like it. Each volume is 480 pp,
not available separately
