Paul McCartney

So you had those little

tricks that you just learned just from listening to music.

And yeah, so you put them in and write a song.

So once you'd written that first song,

It was quite exciting and uplifting.

I think we always thought they were good because we were cocky little bastards.

But as they developed and we started to get a bit more mature in the writing, I think then we started, I remember writing a song, we wrote a song together called From Me to You, and it was pretty straightforward.

But in the middle of it, it went to a chord we'd never used before.

And I remember thinking, wow, we're getting sophisticated.

We're in C to A minor.

Now suddenly we're doing a G minor.

Wow.

So around about that period, you know, we started to think pretty good.

And then you'd write a song, let's say like, I mean, what would always happen is one of us would come in with the idea.

And then the two of us would finish it up.

So something like Norwegian Wood, which was a John idea.

And then we sat down and finished it together.

I think after that, we thought, oh, we're getting somewhere.

Yeah, and I think that's when we started to think, wow, this is going somewhere, you know.

And then you would feel encouraged to write more than just the sort of I love you songs.
