In his introduction to Paul McCartney's work Adrian Mitchell advises: 'Clean out your head. Wash out the name and the fame. Read these clear words and listen to them decide for yourself. Paul is not in the line of academic poets or modernist poets. He is a popular poet.' To many readers some of this book will be instantly recognisable as the songs that have formed the backdrop to every generation since the 1960s. Their lyrics have been learned, almost subliminally, by heart; 'Eleanor rigby', 'Band on the Run', 'She's Leaving Home,' 'Penny Lane'...But among the familiar are poems that have never before been seen. Sharing the preccupations of the songs and including moving elegies to Paul's wife, Linda, they give us unique access to the inner life of one of the most influential figures in popular culture of the last fifty years. They demonstrate, against an acknowledgement of the essential solitariness of existence, an irrepressible belief in the power of words and music to make things better.
