Paul McCartney

We just met, cup of tea, and a song appeared.

It was kind of lucky, really.

Yeah, I think so, because, you know, working with John Lennon was something that happened when we were kids.

Neither of us really knew how to write songs, so it just grew organically.

And because John and I had such a natural relationship that had matured together, I'm inevitably comparing whoever the next person is I'm writing with.

And as time went on and the Beatles broke up and I was no longer writing with John, I did try working with a couple of other people.

But yeah, you're right that having worked with John and now for someone to just come into the room, we don't necessarily know much about each other.

That does make it a bit harder, I must admit.

I don't think I ever did.

I'd enjoyed the experience of writing the first track.

So I think it was just like, yeah, okay, what are you doing next Thursday?

We just kept on, got our diaries out and found the next date and picked it up.

I brought this song over and I said, let's finish it up because I think this could work on the album.

But on this track, I said to him in the studio, I said, Andrew, look, one of the reasons I got with you is because you're a pop producer and I'm waiting for you to pop these songs up.

What are you going to do with them?

You know, are you going to?

And he said, well, no, I'm just letting you lead the song.

I said, well, you shouldn't on this one particularly.

I think that you should just do your thing on it.

And he said, are you sure?
