Paul McCartney

Because I don't know.

I don't know this song.

Nobody knows this song till I've written it.

So it's nice.

It's a sort of quest.

It's like following a trail of breadcrumbs in the woods.

You're not quite sure where it's gonna lead, but it's fun just to see if it reaches a good place.

So that's the process really.

I, you know, do the little demo.

And then if I'm at the studio, I will then say to Steve, my engineer, I've got this song, you know, let's try and put it down.

No, that was me.

A lot of stuff on this album is me, you know, piano, vocal, and drums.

I'm putting the bass in and enjoying myself.

Yeah, I think that's the thing.

You know, you sometimes will write a thing and be not entirely convinced.

So you kind of put it a little bit on the back shelf.

You know, songs can just lay around and I'm meaning to finish them, but I just, I'm on tour somewhere, you know, so I don't really have the time to get to grips with it.

But yeah, this one languished around a little bit.

I debated it for a little while because you do.

Doing anything creative, you're always thinking, should I do that or do this or this?
