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. 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. In his first live in-person event in two years, Paul McCartney will exclusively discuss The Lyrics reflecting on his life, his songs and his creative process with Paul Muldoon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, poet and editor of The Lyrics. The event will be Live Streamed around the world by DICE and available On Demand for 7 days.
