The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present by Paul McCartney, published in 2021, is an extraordinary exploration of one of the most celebrated songwriters in music history.
Spanning his career from the earliest days with The Beatles to Wings and his solo work, the book presents 154 of McCartney’s most iconic songs, paired with personal commentary and vivid recollections. Rather than offering a conventional autobiography, McCartney uses his lyrics as a lens to tell his life story, weaving in memories of family, childhood, friendships, and creative partnerships.
Edited and introduced by poet Paul Muldoon, the two-volume set features rare photographs, handwritten drafts, and unseen archival material that enrich the narrative. The result is both a personal memoir and a study of songwriting craft, offering insights into McCartney’s inspirations, process, and cultural impact.
Revered as a landmark publication, The Lyrics has been praised for its depth, warmth, and historical significance.
