Here he is at 79 years of age; but frankly he comes across as a much, much younger man in the way he thinks and expresses himself. Truly one of a kind.
"I'm a sort of a song writer" the understatement of the century!
Haha! I just repeated those exact words of Paul’s to my wife, and we had a good laugh. Definitely the understatement of the century!
Paul is still like a young boy. He has aged really well. In his eyes you can see that he is still curious of what life can have to offer. He still loves to make music. A fantastic man.
He’s just a young boy looking for a way to find love.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966. Brian Epstein with the consent of the authorities at the time and the three Beatles, he decides to replace Paul with a right-handed session musician named William Shepherd. Everyone involved, including their families, vowed to keep everything a secret. However, The Beatles produced over a hundred clues about Paul's death in their albums and images. William underwent numerous cosmetic surgeries to resemble Paul. William is two inches taller than Paul, William has green eyes, William has a weaker and thinner voice than Paul, William has totally different manners. Musically, Paul was a genius, William is a weak musician.
@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney There are more holes in that story than in the “sea of holes” in Yellow Submarine.
@@stephenfisch615 There are more holes in your brain.....
Even if that were so, obviously there is at least one fact that I know that you don’t. The real Sir Paul McCartney is alive and well. If that other nonsense were true, there is no way that that secret could have been kept for 54 years.
A few years back I had the unexpected joy of encountering Paul on a local hiking trail. he was alone just out for a morning stroll. Got to walk and chat for about 15 minutes and it was a wonderful experience. I think the key was I didnt go all Beatlemaniac on him just treated him like he was just another person I might encounter on a walk and I think I got to see a more genuine side of the person he really is.
Where was the trail in Scottland or Arizona?
@@leelahmy1 ***Scotland
Probably lies I see a post like this on every McCartney video
@@leelahmy1 It is in LA he has a home nearby
He has owned several LA area homes, but yes it was a popular hiking area in LA
Wow. An interviewer who doesn't interrupt, lets the interviewee talk, and actually listens. What a breath of fresh air.
Man, you are SOOOOO right!
Surprised he didn't ask "when do you think the bubble will burst?" 🤣😊
@@BeatlemaccaAR ..HE already knows the answer
HAHA IKR?@@BeatlemaccaAR
Living legend, lucky to still have him on this weird planet.
Getting weirder by the day, especially our "part" of the planet!!

@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney Apologies, I was distracted momentarily by a chemtrail.
@@MeMe-dw1sm You was distracted permanently by a lack of brain.
@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney absolute nonsense, my mother knew The Beatles as a kid and watched them when they played around the Liverpool pub scene.
She always laughed at the 'Paul is dead conspiracy'.
To this day she says it's the same lad from years ago.
Almost 80 and so articulate and has such a passion for life. What a great man. Such an amazing storyteller too.
Yes yessss!! Grow a big beard, Paul!!! Do it!! It has always looked soo great on you! I just finished watching “Get Back” and thought, “damn I wish Paul would grow that beautiful beard again someday”!
This interview is fabulous and at 79 he is very enthusiastic, articulate, and looks amazing!!! Love this man!!!
This is Faul - Billy Shepherd and he is 84 years old. Paul died on September 11 1966 in car crash. This is the truth.
Indeed! What a great pleasure see them very charm in the interview like always! Such a wonderful pleasure enjoy his memories. It's really beautiful he shares his memories with us
@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney
Delusional
@@ralex3697 Get help. Or get a brain.
@@Visualizemyfuture You are right. But people need to know the truth, no matter how hard it is for them.
A wonderful, non-intrusive, articulate, cultured interviewer ...
Young people appreciate him while he is still with us .
Two intelligent men having an intelligent conversation. How refreshing and interesting. One of the best McCartney interviews ever.
He ain't Paul McCartney. His name is William Shepard. Paul James McCartney was killed in a car crash in 1966.
@@matty7dream1 you poor deluded man 😂
@@oliverthomas7042 Hi Oliver. When Billie dies the truth will out. Don't shoot the messenger.
@@matty7dream1 Then William Shepard is a genius, one of the best things that have happened in the world of culture and art in the last 100 years.
@@Sesamox Hi mate. Take away the Beatle Kudos and there ain't a lot left. Showbiz is all about hype and hysteria.
“I’m sort of a songwriter” - I love Paul he is so humble and such a delight to hear him speak. Celebrities of today could take note.
haha I immediately thought the same thing
Sort of a songwriter, that is an understatement
Legendary songwriter, his work will be recognized forever.
I went looking for a comment about that as soon as he said it :)
"I'm kind of a musician, a bit of a bass player...I was in this little band" LOL
He can be humble because he knows he's so rated. If he was a one hit wonder, he'd not have referred to himself that way.
Paul is a Gift to the world.
If he were my Brother-In-Law would Re-Gift him.
A true blessing to the world.
Good influences.
Listening to him here and watching the Peter Jackson film this week has made me admire and appreciate even more the music that Paul McCartney & The Beatles created. It lives on.
I remember when I was 5 I misheard the Beatle lyric "She's got a ticket to ride" as "She's got a chicken giraffe"! Sang it that way for quiet awhile. 😄 ✌
A VERY fascinating side of Paul’s now-mature intellect and creativity. As a Beatles and McCartney fan since 1964, I thoroughly enjoyed these insights and look forward to the book.
Sir Paul, thank you very much for sooo many years of joyful and happiness to my heart. I wish you a long long healthy and happy life.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was at ground zero when the Beatles hit in 1963,13 years old & living in South Africa.We were somewhat ahead of the USA being an ex colony & all that.We did not need Ed Sullivan to show us how great they were.Knew immediately they came on the radio.I'm now 71 years old & the Beatles have been with me for almost my entire life.It never gets old.
Still one of THE coolest guys on the planet. Our admiration, fascination and connection to Paul will never fade. Born in 1961 I've been immersed in Pauls sound all my life. To me much of the early music was just so ALIVE. This, to me, is what music can be at it's best.
I too was born in 1961. And I feel exactly the same way. I actually wrote a song about it these are the words:
I grew up in a simpler time if the truth be told
Not much entertainment but what we had it was gold
The first time that I heard them I think I was four years old
I fell in love with music it was the best yeah I was sold
Music changed me yesterday when I heard yesterday, I want to hold your hand and all my loving too.
What a time to be alive when the Beatles first arrived.
My friends and I on the living room floor, a giant speaker by the door
It all felt so right
what a great time to be alive yeah yeah
What a great time to be alive
We had every Beatles album we knew every line
We each had our favorite Paul was always mine
Looking back it’s clear to see another Beatles there will never be
We were living history
Back to “what a time to be alive...”
Just thought that we since we shared the same birth year you could relate ... i’ve never had huge celebrity crushes but I have to say Paul has always stolen my heart since that little girl. 😊
@@GretchenKeskeys You have great lyrical writing. It flows very well even just reading it like a poem.
Thank you so very much National Patriot! Thanks for taking the time to even comment on it! :) I actually am a singer songwriter and I’m about to release my fourth album. I have been just so inspired by this new book by Paul McCartney. I find his life and career and especially song writing so fascinating. I have yet to track the music for this song but your note of encouragement kind of nudges me in that direction. I really want to do it. My mom died this year and it really got me thinking a lot about my early life and I realized how important the Beatles were even way back when I was very young. Thanks again I really appreciate it!

I’m the same age as both of you. 😁
This was quite lovely. I was glued for an hour or more. Paul did it again!
"And I'm sort of a songwriter... " :D I just love Paul. He's such a wonderful keeper of The Beatles Phenomenon for all of us who shared that time on this planet with and through him.
Between this book and the Get Back series, I'm loving being immersed in Paul. This was a wonderful interview. I'm taking the book slowly, I want to enjoy every word!
"I'm a sort of songwriter." Love this guy's modesty snd graciousness. Terrific songwriter, extraordinary person
IMO, this was one of Paul's BEST interviews. Brilliant!
I marvel at his memory and recollection of time/events. He's always been a genius in my eyes. Carry on Sir Paul! You are definitely a legend!
If Paul had emerged in 1970 as a singer songwriter he would have been a huge global superstar. The fact he was a member of The Beatles BEFORE his solo career speaks volumes of the genius of this man.
The satisfaction & complete feeling at "I've written enough [classics]">>>
Great interviewer. One of the best I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, very articulate, knowledgeable, prepared and passionate. Normally they ask the same old, same old, or idiotic questions. I guess he's the CEO for a reason.
This was uploaded in my birthday. What a great gift! Thank you, Sir Paul, for your great book, and thanks to Barnes and Noble for this great interview!
Happy late birthday!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@ginny3491 Thanks ginny!!! 😊
Thank you for the music of my life Sir Paul. You and John inspired me. You and your group told the story that my generation wanted and needed to hear. I will always be greatful for that.
Great interview, kind and honest. Congratulations Paul McCartney you are lovely💖 Congrats to James Daunt too, you're a great interviewer. 📗📚💖👏👏
The Beatles were a gift from God. They sang about LOVE for the most part. They will be listened to for hundreds of years.
Besutifilmisic.God's?Gift Thank you!!!!
Donot ever take ypitself for gtanted
We are the Beatle6! Nuf said.
@@dennisallin4578 Not quite enough said, because I have no idea what you’re talking about
Wish I could share your complacence. Scientists are pessimistic about survival past 2026 at our current rate of fossil fuel burning.
Paul is such a great interview and this is one of his best ever.
Thank you for doing a brilliant job all around.
Thank you Paul for the fabulous music, inspiration and joy you have bestowed upon us all.
Living legend
Eloquent and engaging
Him and John such opposites, but opposites attract
Wrote such masterpieces together
It's nice to see Mr Paul happy. He really deserves it. So much joy and pleasure he's given the world. Great guy xx
OMG, Paul, you have been such a creative instrument in the world! It has been so fun to grow up with you and enjoy your contributions to the expansion of artistic expression!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Paul ALWAYS gives a great interview, adapts to the tone of the interviewer, makes everyone comfortable. Consummate performer and celebrity. Loved him for 57 years!
Love this offhand (and drastically understated) remark by Paul early in the conversation: "I'm sort of a songwriter ..." 🙂
Macca always has been very humble
An interesting optomist.
Fantastic interview! I could listen to Paul for hours. Interviewer did a tremendous job.
Paul may have aged in body but in mind, heart and soul he still has that energy and the joy for life that he exudes in the "Get Back" documentary, The world will be a sad place when Paul and Ringo finally bid goodbye to this world which hopefully won't be anytime soon!
"Sir Paul's" (William) death should come with its surprises.
What an amazing raconteur. His photographic memory and amazing life combined with his humble and honest self representation is well respected globally and still motivating many people to this day. One of a kind.❤️✌️🎶
Very nice interview. Paul comes across as genuine and very modest.
"...and I'm a sort of a songwriter." We all LOVE you, Paul!
He's such a delight. An actual treasure.
Sir Paul continues to keep the spirit, essence and life of that phenomenon: BEATLES alive !
Best McCartney interview I've heard in decades -
I'm 45 and Paul looks younger then me. What a living legend. The world of music would be very different today without this guy for sure.
Oh come on, William looks his age. He is 84 years old.
To look that good at 79 is criminal. The guy is so full of life, a fascinating, always productive, genius.
Respect to you Paul I love your enthusiasm and your so young at heart fab interview keep on rocking. Sir 🎸
Very in depth interview - quite well taken allowing him to talk his heart out. He still has the wonder of the kid
Macca looks super glowing, natural and healthy for a guy nearly 80. Love him.
His current true age is 84.
What a pleasant bloke. I could listen to him all day. Quite an extraordinary chap.
But then you must unlearn yourself of what lies "Sir Paul" (William) have been telling.
I’m so happy to see Paul speaking about things he had never addressed before. - publicly -
It was always the same questions,and answers for over fifty years.
This is good for Paul, I’m sure he’s enjoying this.
The depth of his songs,and soul are unparalleled .
Kudos for making the world a better place .
I worked in the man's house who didn't pass Paul as a choir boy , he is in his 90,s now
You are a song writer,very humble human being,Sir Paul
Paul looks and sounds great. God bless this legend.
fantastic to hear him praising his free fifties education.. and the power of simple things like gardening or the crossword 🙂 (or Chaucer or latin lol)
I will never forget the Paul McCartney show I went to in Dallas, TX in 2002. The show started with Hello Goodbye and not a single person sat down during the entire show. We were all just mesmerized at seeing Paul and I just remember thinking “ Wow! He is one of the Beatles! Great musician and looking forward to reading his new book, The Lyrics. I’m sure he has lived a very gratifying life and what a joy to see him so many years later still cranking out the songs. My favorite musician ever. Love you Paul! Thanks for the great tunes. I play 4 instruments because of you. Cheers
You should read the unofficial memoirs of William: Billys back!".
who disliked this? are you nuts. we have livin' genius interviewed, same line as Mozart, no kidding
Best Paul McCatney interview ever. So many NEW stories.
What a wonderful experience. Thank you for making it possible.
At last, an interview where we learn something new from Paul, and not a repetition of the same old anecdotes. great !
William just repeats the same old lies over and over.
Have always liked John's songs the most. That being said, Paul doesn't get enough credit for his "behind the scenes" work that allowed John's songs like Tomorrow Never Knows to come to life. All those tape loops were thanks to Paul who was out and about in London discovering new things while the rest of them were living quiet lives in the country. And after Brian died....it was Paul who kept pushing the band. And of course the obvious things; great singer, great writer (Yesterday, I've Just Seen a Face, Paperback Writer, We Can Work it Out, For No One, etc.), revolutionary bass player (listen to Rain), and creative artistic force in the last few years. Thank you Sir Paul!!!! Without you....no Beatles and the last few albums would have suffered from lack of dedication. RESPECT to you sir....you are a LEGEND and immortal through your work.
One hour is not enough. I can listen to Paul infinitely. If I can have a dream life, it would be similar to his. Love the wedding story! Drunk uncle, LOL.
Yes, I really laughed in this part of the conversation. I agree with you: one hour isn't enough. Paul has a lot of memories and it's really precious listen them
I love listening to his stories.
Such an amazingly talented, but also very interesting man. I'm 64...he was my 1st "crush" when I was about 7.
Still love and admire this wonderful soul ♡
Thank you for this-it was so enjoyable and so important that this man’s life, and memories are documented, from him.
That was a fantastic interview. James, thanks for asking great questions and giving Paul all the free rein he needed to answer.
Yeah! Definitely, it's one of the best interviews that Paul has had! I think it was a wonderful conversation for them and the fans too because we really appreciate these type of interviews where the interviewer make smart questions to Paul and allows him to extend his answers without interruptions. A very charm and interesting conversation :)
Paul please go on tour and add Silly Love Songs what a great number one hit 1976
Those questions were fantastic. This is such an inspiring and insightful interview. I am going to save it and watch it from time to time. Thank you for doing this
International Treasure. So glad he is still with us…still looks and sounds like cute, young Paul. Love him. ❤️
Really Great, listenning to Paul telling us about His own History makes me feeling closer to Him... After so many years, He also sounds like a teatcher with "the depth of His experience", well so good to listen at His words !
Dear Paul, when will You count us "The Miller's tale" and other "Canterbury Tales" ? ? I don't care "bawdy" ! ! ;-)
Hi Paul. You are a great storyteller. Love listening to the behind the scenes of your songs.
He’s absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Have my copy already! Love it! I wish I had half his memory!!!
Yes , what a memory, indeed.
He looks great for his age!
Really good interview. Nice to hear some good questions that make Paul think. I think I may ask for this book from Santa.
My favorite drunk uncle, a living legend and an international treasure. An unexpected pleasure, what a great interview? I'm grateful for Paul's example, and amazing repertoire. A fabulous man.
Paul is one of the most magnificent beings ever come to Earth!
He & the Beatles are mystic travelers - superb super beings who are brilliant at everything they do, especially at spreading messages of LOVE & helping the morons among us understand what’s truly important.
No one can touch him! He’s Light Years ahead of all of us!
I have Loved this man since I was 3 & saw him on the Ed Sullivan Show. I’m now 61 & my life has been fully influenced & colored by Paul, John, George & Ringo.
I love this man so so much
The best of all time
One of the best McCartney interviews I've seen. Great host.
Wow, Paul looks younger than the last time i saw him. The hair looks good too...now don't know if he's adding to his hair or using a strengthening for his hair but it sure does look fuller. He's skin is smooth and he looks well rested.
Paul is such a brilliant and creative genius . . . he is brilliantly interviewed by James Daunt. They've "nailed" it.
Paul has givening so many people around the world so much happiness with the music 🎶. Thanks 😊 ❤.
The best McCartney interview I’ve ever heard. Very fresh, not rehashing the same old questions. Well done.
I am so happy for Paul and the book! Glad he has seen and enjoyed even more fruits of his labor. By far, he is my most favorite musician since the 1960's.
I'm 70 years old. Needless to say, as a Teenager, a instant Beatles fan. The Music has and will always be known as the Greatest in the History of ALL Music, not just Pop / Rock music. I have Purchased the Reissue / Remastered White Album, Abbey Road and now just recently Let It Be... Each has soooo much background, notes, commentaries, etc . , included. I also subscribed to the Disney+ channel, so that I could see Get Back, the new documentary put together by Peter Jackson. The documentary, with numerous reviews on line already, is the story of the final days of The Beatles. Clearly, Paul was THE driving force to dopimng and completing the "Project" and culminating to The Beatles performing their final in person Concert on the Roof top of their Apple Corp Studio bilding. Paul has done an inordinate amount of Interviews and it would seem this one if one of the best. Having said that, I think the Price for this book is ridiculous. It comes off IMHO as "milking" The Beatles. Yes, The Beatles Revolutionized Pop Music and a Generation. But I think, for the Older and the new Younger "Fans" , the book should be a sort of "Gift" to the public. Watch Get Back.....you will see the Genius of Paul, John, George and Ringo.
You wanna turn the CEO of a major company into an instant kid who can't stop smiling, put him in front of Paul McCartney.
The TRUE King of pop without any doubt whatsoever! A total Genius.
Rock*
Such a truly amazing interview!
You are so right...this beautiful interview will be watch long after Paul is gone...so complete , so immensely interesting ! And Paul...man he looks good !! ;)
A wonderfully talented special man in his own rite!! Soo proud to deeply love and accept this man; to love him as deeply as I do. Keep going, my Love!!! 😘❤❤❤
Would you still love him if it was revealed he is really a William ?
Can you imagine if his writings, lyrics, art, etc had not been saved and archived, but it is entirely possible that it could have been lost in all the busyness of Paul’s life.
William is keeping us from seeing bits from Paul's life.
Listening to Sir Paul speak is like sitting at the feet of the music God.
Love Paul, and the Beatles. Love Paul with the Wings. Love Paul's solo work.
I still remember watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, while my sister pulled her hair out!
LOL! Last week, right?
Paul looks great for a man who is pushing eighty. He really has had a FAB Life. An excellent interviewer as he did not interrupt once and asked good questions. Thanks for uploading, very interesting
"Sir Paul" (William) is already in his 80's.
Probably, one of the reasons why The Lyrics is a best seller is due to his intimacy through its pages. It wasn't just about his lyrics, his experiences and the context when the songs were created and released but also the chance to explore intimately Paul's life through his photgraphs who give you the wonderful experience of to know him as well as the original sheets of his lyrics and another things like drawings, notes... As James said, it's a very human book where you can to know more to the artist in a different but deep way.
A lot of congrats Paul for the book and all the staff who worked with you! You really did an amazing job and we really appreciate it!!! Xx
The Legendary Sir Paul McCartney. Take care always Sir Paul, we love you. - from Cebu City, Philippines.
Honeslty, in the end of the interview, my eyes were full of tears because I can't avoid to feel proud of him and all the things he has done (definitely, he wasn't just one of the best songwriters in the music history but also he is a very kind man with a wonderful heart and also, a great inspiration through different generations who have grown up beside you and your music). It was a such wonderful conversation and it was very enjoyable listen Paul's stories and be able to understand it. Thanks a lot for this stunning interview and thanks so much for put english subs, I really aprecciated too much! Keep going Paul!!!! Xx
I'm so glad Paul has surrounded himself with learned people who are intelligent enough to work with him to preserve his legacy of work for the future times when all of us are gone and he goes down in history as the Mozart of our era.
"Sir Paul" (William) will never be seen as a Mozart of our time.
I hope this man knows how much he’s loved and what a big part he has played in so many lives. I know he was a part of the band, but he loved the band and added so much to keep the momentum and new ideas brewing. He’s added so much to our culture in a positive way and there’s not many others doing that. Thank you Sir Paul.
