Paul returned to his old school in Liverpool, now LIPA (The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) on Wednesday 25th July for an intimate hour long Q&A and conversation session with Jarvis Cocker and LIPA students to discuss his new album 'Egypt Station'.

Let's all take a moment of gratitude for having
Paul still alive and healthy and open and generous
with his stories. We're lucky to have him:)
You go ahead and take a moment. You don't call the shots on the CZcams comments, dude. Hahaha!
I agree! What a lovely thing to say!
Don’t forget Ringo
@@footballsugo Yes, agreed!!
🙏no joke. This was an incredible interview.
I met Paul and Linda McCartney when they came to sign the advertising agreement for "Live and Let Die" at Billboard magazine at 9000 Sunset in LA. My Uncle Peter Heine was director of advertising. He had to go down the hall and get the contract. I was left alone with Paul and Linda for about 15 minutes. They were both very nice to me. On the way home my Uncle Peter asked me what I thought about Paul and Linda. I said "They seem like regular people to me." My Uncle responded "They are regular people with exceptional jobs." I was 13 years old. You always remember somebody who is nice to you. Thanks Paul

Best anecdote. Love it. So jealous of the 13 year old you.
How much I wish John could be sitting there next to Paul reminsing old times. Makes your heart ache that John is gone.
Paul D yes George too. Great bunch of lads!
moonage daydream Can you imagine the incredible band there could be in Heaven right now? Talents and Souls like John, Paul, George and Ringo are rarer than the rarest diamonds and yet fate brought them together. All I can say is, there has to be some higher power to make that miracle happen.
God bless Paul and Ringo, RIP George Harrison & John Lennon ❤️❤️
moonage daydream Amen to that.
It would be great. John's responses would likely have been shorter and much more dismissive.
john was by far the best paul is really cheesy and john was really cool
McCartney was brilliant but we must give credits due for Jarvis, he's the perfect interviewer. The way he speaks, talks and addresses Paul, emanates a certain calmness that makes you feel like you're part of an intimate conversation. It's just such a comfortable feeling.
This is a William interview, not a "Paul McCartney" interview. It is bizarre hearing William pretending he was there from the beginning.
Bill is only good at making up stories.
Ölsk Zeri troll. You have no constructive argument.
Probably the most famous living person on the planet today and has been for 50+ years. Still the most down to earth guy.
@@sixbells99 he's not living
I mean Queen Elizabeth II HRM not Freddie from the Band " Queen" :)
....and satanist....
@@sixbells99 oh right hahaha sorry friend
and he likes kendrick lamar's music
Good old Macca. You can take the boy out of Liverpool but you can't take Liverpool out of the boy. Even at 76. Well done Sir.
Absolutely, still the son of working class Liverpudlians. Paul has never forgotten where he started from!
You do realise Paul Mccartney died in a car crash in 1966
@@peterf08 And on the same album photo that was Maharishi Yogi heading them across the zebra crossing as Lennon had drowned the year before in the Thames after losing control of his Rolls Royce.
@@soulschoolboy66 is this true the Paul death is now widely accepted though the media still bluffs he's written his memoirs but Johm. MMM he'd obviously changed by the time of the 1980 shooting as doctors treating him said THAT'S NOT JOHN LENNON. Can you point me to info about this please !!?
@@peterf08 You do realise ringo never was born and lennon was black? Harrison actually alive tho
When he said the Beatles were the musicians he’s worked with he “admires most” got me... I got a little choked up
I just knew he was gonna say John
Me too! SO warmed my heart.
Hearing old man Paul say "I love it when you talk dirty" is something i never thought would reach my eardrums
Because Paul McCartney did not say it. It was old "Sir Paul" (William).
Sir Paul swears the same as most of us do when he’s not in public. He’s a working class Englishman we swear a lot
John Lennon said it first. But I adore Paul, too! xo
I'm a student at LIPA (on Paul's songwriting course) and I was there four rows from the centre. Being from Sheffield having Jarvis was an unexpected joy as we didn't get told who the interviewer was beforehand. There were 250 tickets available (all for free) on a first-come first-served basis, and just before they started the interview they read out who's questions were going to be asked. My name was called out but mine was skipped for time reasons unfortunately, however I won't complain as after this the curtain dropped and Paul was there with his band to play a secret set with Giles Martin (son of George Martin) on sound! He played a spontaneous number of obscure tracks (including From Me To You for the first time ever as a solo artist) and I still can't believe how lucky I was to be just metres away from this man in a small hall hearing these songs I grew up with.
WOAH !!!
Yes, the same Jarvis who showed his ass to the world in front of Michael Jackson, was chased off the stage
and then proceeded to have sex with a random stranger under a flight of stairs...
and the problem is?
Paul was a joy..jarvis was a bore...snooze feast
As a student what do you think about The Beatles songs?
How dignified and gracious of Paul to answer the question: "Of all the artists you've worked with over the course of your career, who do you admire the most?" with the answer: "My fellow Beatles. John Lennon."
???????? honestidad.
Paul is Incredible. He performs so naturally as if he is singing just to you. Really Neat!!!!
Who else would he say? He wrote over 300 songs with Lennon.
tomj1808
Played safe there. Non committing
He is a gracious guy but it wasn't grace that was the motivation for that answer. It was the truth.
Thankfully this was recorded in the UK. In the USA we would have had applauding every 10 seconds.
No, they just would have been talking over him.
Well it's not a talkshow it's a school and sixth form in Liverpool that Paul attended as a kid
Who cares? If this school was in the U.S., the students / people in the audience would have been talking over him, looking at their phones, or sleeping.
Arvid Van Bottenz oh, be quiet. Anything to continue hating on the US
rocknroller77... shut yer pie-hole. Anything to back up your addiction to IPhones, Androids, and talking over everyone else. Even Sir Paul.
Jarvis conducted a unique and entertaining interview. I was impressed.
Oh thank goodness you liked it, we were all awaiting your approval.....! Now go and look up " ego-maniac " in a dictionary.
Jarvis was very natural. Enjoyable.
I like how this thread began as "Jarvis is lovely" and ended with "HEY DICKDICK I'm sure you got beat up in school" 😂
@@richardichard4237 whether he is or isn't has nothing at all to do with how he conducted the interview which was the point of the original comment. If Jarvis Cocker is what you suggest he is, how do you you know that the person who wrote the original comment doesn't know that anyway? What Jarvis Cocker is and how he conducted this conversation are different.
Jarvis Cocker is an artist with a literally genius level IQ.
Jarvis is a great host. He just let's him talk and asks intelligent questions.
I'd expect nothing less of one of his name.
Where is William Campbell today
He’s a great songwriter as well
He's great, compare him to Howard Stern. This is a conversation rather than an interview.
@@Alpha_7227 So in the end he's a bad interviewer, mean if this is supposed to be interview not a conversation.
I think Paul has gracefully mellowed over the years, and his self-deprecating humor is adorable. And when he ever said his fellow Beatles were the musicians he enjoyed working with and admired the most, I melted. ❤️🙏🏻
Paul was always pretty mellow.
That was a beautiful moment.
Yes! ❤️
You're such a sweetheart, can we have a chit chat
I agree that he has mellowed. I think there have been times in the past when he felt he had something to prove post-Beatles, and so he sometimes seemed a little insecure and ego-driven. Not anymore! Now he seems comfortable with himself, just one of our beloved Beatles full of wit and humility and wonderful stories. We love him more than ever now.
Paul is the pure definition of Class. There's never gonna be someone more classy and elegant than Sir. Paul.
Really? I like him though!
Sir, LOL
And Jarvis is just from a Different Class, what a guy
@@luisstardustindeed. Nice one
I could sit with him and listen to his stories forever.. He's a great storyteller
I was thinking that too. I can't name too many others that captures my interest this much.
That would be an even more amazing story than the truth. This elaborate, money making plan when no one had a clue they could possibly become as successful as they did. They were turned down by every record company before George Martin decided to give them a shot. Feel sorry for him?! He's as successful, talented, brilliant and lucky as a person
...can be. Now the secret, heartless, corrupt group running our world is a different story. They feed off of others success.
wtf are u talkin bout
@@TheBloodcleaner who is faul
Loved the bit about the prank phone calls with John. Finally some off the wall questions. Most interviewers ask Paul the same thing over and over. Kudos to Jarvis Cocker.
Would you expect anything less from him?
@@jenniferkonstant5920 well, for starters I didn't know Jarvis Cocker conducted interviews... Did you?
I thought he flashed a smile that seemed to me to say, he wanted so much more than casual conversation ...
@@sebastianmaharg LOL Well, no. But I would't think he'd be anything other than interesting.
Sebastian Maharg Lol, me and my brother did prank phone calls exactly the same way. We also pitched down the voice and immortalized these calls with another tape recorder.
Jarvis Cocker is the most British name of all time
''Scott English''
Tommy Cocker perhaps?
Benedict Cumberbatch, bro...come on! 😂
Yorkshire name, Cocker. Like Metcalfe.
Same name as that Sheffield gas-fitter who garbled "With a Little Help from My Friends" into a gross parody of American English.
Tosser!
hughjass311 I think William is
I love the way Paul always gives so much of himself. He knows Jarvis is nervous but Paul is so kind graceful and humble he makes people feel relaxed. What a guy, possibly the greatest man
That career advice guy wasn't wrong y'know. Given the amount of musicians this man has inspired the world over, he is a great teacher.
When I was 15, I fell in love with Paul’s beautiful eyes and beautiful voice. Now, at seventy, I am in love with Paul’s fantastic personality, too! True love never dies. I could listen to him talk forever. His reminiscing reminds me of my Uncle Tom, who played the piano while my Mom and her four sisters sang, danced, and partied into the wee hours of the morning. May God bless him, his beautiful family. I wonder if he has a clue as to how much joy he has gifted us with his many gifts? What an amazing man and his humility and humor make him truly one of a kind! Great interview!❤️
What a great comment, I love him too. All the best.
Wow you’re a true fan
Ethan Perdulla , Isn’t everyone? He is very gifted yet down to earth. A truly wonderful man!
Patricia Burke While I agree that he's still the most gifted living musician on earth and he's the one Beatle that's always felt the most joy with pleasing an audience, I'd say the one Beatle who's most down to earth is and has always been Ringo. All the four of them have always had an enormous fame, stardom, and charisma about them, but I think Ringo's always been able to make you most feel at ease like you're having a pint with an ol' pal. I suppose with John, you'd discuss politics and world affairs, with Paul, you discuss chords, studio technology, and production values, with George, you'd discuss Khrishna, world hunger, and all the selfishness and ego in the world, while most people would probably like to talk to Ringo about yesterday's football match besides his drumming and the ol' times with the gang.
tlatosmd, What an interesting analogy! I recently saw Cirque de Soleil in Vegas featuring old videos and Beatles music, which I highly recommend. Each Beatle was, and still is ,very special and they all played an amazing role in our hearts. Paul will always be extra special to me. His stories of his family singing old songs around the piano remind me of my family’s good old house parties with my Mom’s four sisters, and cousins, etc. I was a folk singer in a high school group. The Beatles and soul groups like The Supremes, The Four Tops, Mary Wells, Dionne Warwick, etc. extended my love of music way beyond the folk genre, so, I thank them for that. I paint, draw etc. and play a little guitar and piano, so, I have some common passions with Paul. We all have our favorites and let’s be thankful we lived while they played their wonderful music together. Thank God we still can enjoy Paul and Ringo!
What a great story teller and conversationalist…a true credit to humanity this man is
"Sir Paul" (William) is a bad example for humanity. William have lived a lie since late 1966 when he replaced JPM "as an already set up affair".
It's just old William retelling some old lies.
This is utterly brilliant. Jarvis is a superbly relaxed, inquisitive interviewer who knows when to speak and when not to, and Paul is...well, he's fucking Paul McCartney! One of the loveliest, most interesting and funny interviews of Macca I've ever seen.
Imagine the interview was with Lennon! Would have been awesome 👌
@@lokiop345 His would be good to, in his own write😉
You mean Paul Rameau?
@@SuperLeica1 Ramon, not Rameau
Paul is so cool and laid-back, it's a pleasure to listening to him.
"Paul". You mean "Sir Paul" (William) lying trough his teeth.
Never seen Paul so relaxed and funny. Fantastic interview and him and Jarvis so do more together. Learnt a lot about him and his history which considering so much is known , that’s pretty amazing.
Remember kids , stay in music school and learn all the scales, or you might end up like Paul.
It is so refreshing that Paul does not take himself too seriously. I love you Paul.
Paul is an absolutely beautiful, spiritual, and loving human being. God Bless him to the Moon and back
It's serious cringe. Like MJ Heal The World.
Jarvis did an absolutely amazing job! Also he's a star in his own right, he was the frontman of possibly the best britpop band: Pulp
Thank you. Something that should have been in the video comments. I thought he must have been the Principal of this Institution.
@@allymayful Before I watched this interview, I had never heard of Jarvis or Pulp. The students seemed to recognize Jarvis as he walked out, so I thought he was one of the teachers.
Paul's second best talent after composing and making music is obviously telling very entertaining stories.
he comes out like a man in his 20's. amazing. maybe that veggie lifestyle is worth looking into.
david young oh yeah!! It did his wife a lot of good.
Fucking hell Roy, how could you stoop so low?
Savage!
It works. ✌🏽
nice one roy lad
Beautiful man...thank God for the gift of Paul Mcc.
I love you yeah yeah yeah!💋✌🏽
It's a warm wonderful feeling when Sir Paul walks in and I think..that's my friend ..I know him. 🤗 Strange phenomeno
Kim Belanger Same here. I totally agree! Like I know him personally for ages. What a great personality!!!!!!☺️🙋🏼
😂😂😂
Kim BelangerI know right?
Jarvis what an interviewer he is,this is tremendous 2 legends together.
"Sir Paul" (William) is not a legend. What he is can only be defined once the truth is out.
@@olskzeri2723 Please disappear with this pathetic garbage. It’s the most ridiculous conspiracy theory ever.
Seen quite a number of interviews with McCartney, this is one of the best.
Greatest interview because Jarvis doesn’t cut him off or finish his sentences all the time...
Paul: I didn't think the name "Paul McCartney" sounded that good.
Jarvis: It sounds pretty good now.
Masterful speaking by Billy Shears

Yes, that was the first time I ever saw the name "Paul McCartney" in anything other than a charismatic magical light. For the first time I saw how, if the Beatles music had never been, McCartney might seem an unbeautiful name suggestive of, say, a pauper's cart full of junk. But Paul with his Beatles made the name McCartney a name of power, beauty, magic.
I saw a pic of the Beatles on Walter Cronkite on feb 7, 1964 ... my mouth DROPPED. Then I heard them two days later ... OMG!
This was truly riveting. I could also listen to Paul go on for hours. After watching the James Corden's special I wished I could have been in that pub listening to that surprise concert. What a gift. "Meet the Beatles" was the first album I ever purchased (with my birthday money) and with that sparked a love and appreciation for these four guys from Liverpool. Last year my husband and I went to Liverpool and visited Paul and John's home as well as many other relevant sites. Thank you Paul for sharing your gifts and your message with the world.

Me too, first album I ever bought. Coming of age with the Beatles was a remarkable experience.
@JamesLogan-jn3dn Been a fan for 59 years!
Paul looks very at ease and relaxed during this interview...Great stuff, thanks Jarvis !
Amazing how he can write masterpieces getting inspiration from things we ignore day by day
Hey!! I can't believe you are here!! I love your videos man
Exactly!
The Beatles Vocal Harmony I love Sir Paul and I love your brilliant vids too.
i'm left handed and wrote backwards as a kid as well. The similarities end there unfortunately
What letter did you start with? This guy says he started with P but wouldn't it be L if writing "Paul" backwards?
americanstrife no you write right to left. two of my kids did that, with their rights hands though. they also opened books back to front and wrote mirrored letters. i'm still convinced they are actually left handed, but trained to use their right hands.
You can always become vegetarian!
What? You *NEVER* got high with a girl named Linda?
@@coronelsakura2841 lol
i'd say paul is our present day musical dickens. ❤️ quick-witted, intuitive, feeds his music and stories from the little things he notices around him, he loves play on words, he loves performing (and only ch.dickens could perform ch.dickens best), he's written endless material, and like dickens's stories, paul's music will be around for a very long time to come. i admire both of them very much. no better writer, no better musican.
Great comments
Sadly, I am too young to have experienced any of 'ch. dickens' live performances. Are their any recordings available, maybe on acetate 78's or maybe wax cylinders? However, I can claim that my great-great-great grandfather was married in the same church as Charles Dickens - just 3 years earlier St Lukes in Chelsea (England . Obviously, dur!)
Looking good Macca. You're the reason for my name. My mam was a Beatles fan. And I have lovely memories of dancing with her round the living room to The Beatles and Buddy Holly. Sadly she died when I was 9, and I have lovely memories of her love of music which has been passed on to me.
Thank you Paul.
Well my brothers are called Walrus and Eggman.
Oh! What did their schoolmates, teachers etc say about that?
Weird, Mum calling a Daughter Paul!!!!
What about a boy named Sue, then?
This is lovely. Paul normally comes across very guarded and sort of nervously jokey in interviews, but here he seems so comfortable and at ease.
Yes, Paul has evidently grown out of a seeming insecurity he perhaps felt sometimes post-Beatles, or so it seems to me. Post-Beatles he sometimes seemed to feel he had to prove himself, and his ego was sort of manifesting in the wrong way, getting in the way. But I've noticed in recent interviews that that seems all gone now. Now he's totally comfortable with himself and a pure joy to listen to. So nice to see Paul this way, since he's such a big part of what we love about the Beatles.
Everytime I see this interview, i'm just amazed how fast time goes by. Im nearly in the end and it feels like it's only been 5 minutes. Love u Paul
This is William and why thank him for the charade he have played ever since he replaced JPM late 1966 "as an already set up affair"
I was there! By some incredible luck. He did an acoustic set after this talk which included “I’ve just seen a face” “Every Night” “We can work it out” and quite a few others. I hope he releases the whole set one day
A real conversation. I love that, 'cause Sir P has got a great memory and sooooo many stories.
Thank-you Sir Paul for your taking the time to do this. Jarvis you done perfectly !
Yeah, really great, Jarvis. Made me feel like I was right there with you.
I saw Paul in concert here in Vancouver 2 weeks ago july 6 2019. Like so many others, The Beatles music has been the background music of my life. I could not imagine another artists' concerts creating such an atmosphere of harmony and love as his shows do! It comes from the overall messages of love found in Beatles songs as well as his own music past the group. I am impressed so much by his humility, generosity and spirit of love. He truly appreciates his role and knows the effect he has had on people all over the world! Thank you Sir Paul McCartney for the gift you have given to all...and your understanding..you have brought much love to the world!
Paul is great wherever he plays. But to see him live in his home of liverpool is very special
@@boxinghistorian2629 i hadn't thought of that...but you are absolutely right!
@@Andy-ty2ni ye seen paul in liverpool 5 times and its like no other
Wow. What a truly special and wonderful gift this is. I'd listen to Paul's stories for hours and hours and hours. Absolutely amazing interview, Mr. Pulp. Thumbs up. Way up.
I'd be honored if some McCartney fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of his early masterpiece BLACKBIRD on my channel. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.
Loved your cover Will. Enjoyed your take on With a little help from my friends too.
Paul did things that everyone just accepts. Are there any other good examples of this?
Yea and his dad and his brother just accepted it and so did all his friends and Jane didn't say a word about it and everybody he worked with all just kept their mouths shut lol. And there's a monster in the loch by Inverness 50 foot long and if you stay up late enough on the 24th of December a big fat man with a beard shoots down your chimney 😂
Never would i have thought to hear Paul speak like this...I do so love it!
So incredible that this is the guy who is one of the Fab Four!!! Great sense of humor and still a nice looking guy! Macca, I have always loved you and your music! And I have the same name as your mum, Mary!! Blessings always.
Each Beatle album is a piece. It's own personality & feel. I am so glad I was here to
absorb it all. Thanks for sharing this.
I really love how hes never lost his scouse sence of humor!
What a great interview - no interruptions just a talk . What a brilliant host well done Jarvis.
Paul is wonderful he is like a story teller of old - the keeper of memories of the tribe and now with John and George gone it becomes even more important to remember.
I love the Beatles and I love Paul forever and a day . Their music brought so much joy to my life and best memories. Love you Paul. Forever in my prayers 🙏
Paul still looks the same as in the sixties. His soul is and will stay forever young. Thanks Paul, I am the same age, so I can speak, although I don't look as young and fresh - alas. Bravo, bless you.
Not really but whatever I guess
Marx movies - he is Such a Fake
He's not even the same human being he was in the early to mid 60s
James Guy No not a fake, just a genuinely decent and mega talented man.
Billy Faul still fooling them all 😉
Some of the best non-sycophantic questions I've heard put to PM. Proper considered answers - Jarvis did well.
Some great insights here into Paul's musical mind. One of the best interviews with him that I've ever watched.
Agreed. Great interview by Jarvis.
I noticed in this interview how articulate Paul is. No long pauses, uhs, or normal faults almost all of us have. His thoughts, like much of his music, translates into superlative communication.
Syd bysyd I agree with you, Paul was enjoying it and the questions were great.
Helps that Cocker knows what being a famous music person means so he asks with insight.
That was the best McCartney interview I’ve seen, great job!
This is NOT a McCartney interview, normie. William is NOT "Number 9".
Lennons codeword for his dead bandmate.
Unlike any other interview of McCartney.
Him being at his old school, that he bought and and sponsors courses is truly " passing it forward" to others that are inspired.
He himself is an inspiration to us as musicians, songwriters, Beatle fans, or any others that are still in wonder with affinity for their music, young or old.
Bravo. Thank you for posting.
Paul is such a wonderfull gentleman. Great and unique charisma.
Not like the original Guy that used to give one line reply’s. . A marked improvement
@@jamesguy1030 And you think his whole family would accept the new Paul? 😂😂😂
Peetjemuwijk - Ha Ha, Yeah, People will keep a secret if they think it’s for a good cause, even the grieving family and Jane Asher , I recommend that you watch a documentary called the winged Beatle, it shows what happened, Faul McCartney didn’t even go to his fathers funeral, because it was not his blood father . . The Rotten Apple Series is another amazing look at the truth, and if you still have any doubts all about it, Have Another Look at the colour film footage in the movie called “HELP” & compare it to the magical mystery tour a short time after. . It’s clear to see that we are looking at two completely different individuals.
❤️I cherish these interviews. It's so wonderful to hear all the old tales of the Beatles days. Thanks so much, Paul! Please keep sharing these magical stories! x❤️
Best interview I have heard with Paul , great job Jarvis .
Great interview, totally genuine and what a freaking artist- He and his mates saved many of us after JFK was assassinated by giving us their gifts of music. thanks.
Well said.
We could have saved ourselves had we not bought into the cover-up and went after the real killers. But then we were distracted, you see. The coup of '63 turned our country irrevocably into a place run by toadies of the ultra rich complete with a Potemkin Democracy and half our taxes going straight into their pockets through a war machine that bleeds us all dry.
“With the Beatles” was released the very day that dastardly deed was done 11/22/1963
I was 4 and my parents tell me that I wouldn't stop crying because I wanted to see the Beatles on Sullivan.. and in those days only 1 tv.. my dad always watched his Western show.. anyway he let me watch show.. I don't remember but that's a 60 year old story in our family.. lol.. Beatles 4 Ever!..

Was always a huge fan of Kennedy brothers JFK & RFK in particular, until reading detailed info given in this riveting story...

Go read it folks...
When I was a kid, someone gave me a Beatles Greatest Hits on 8 track tape. Back then, I didn't like the Beatles much, and I threw the 8 track tape into the closet. Sometime around the time I was 15, the summer before I turned 16, my granddad passed away, and I kind of inherited his car. I put an 8 track player in the car, and I pulled that tape out of the closet. I listened to just that 8 track for 3-4 months and fell in love with them. Today, I readily admit they are my favorite group of all time. I just worship their music. None better.... And Paul was always my favorite.
JARVIS is the IDEAL interviewer for Sir Macca... xx SF
It's not just the quality of his output it's the quantity and the prolificness😣of this chap. And the longevity. Genius. Our present day Beethoven.✌🏽
David Wilder i'd say he's our present day musical dickens 😉 quick-witted, intuitive, feeds his music and his stories from the little things he notices around him, he loves play on words, he loves performing, and as dickens's stories, his music will be there for along time to come. i admire both of them very much.
@@JamesLogan-jn3dn I have been a fan of Paul McCartney since there was only two channels on tv, four tracks in a recording studio, no congestion on the roads, strangers actually said hello on the street, you could have a night out and a takeaway and still have change from a fiver.
Quite a while is the answer lol ✌
I have seen snippets of Pauls humour obviously over the decades. This video is a classic insight into this great quality of his. His take on other artists is also interesting❤ Very enjoyable, thanks
I absolutely love music. It's the one thing in my life that has always seemed mystical to me. The Beatles came on the scene when I was 14 and I was immediately captivated. They have brought me so much joy over the years. If I get into Beatles mode I can listen to their songs for hours. The harmonies, everything about them, is really on another level from other groups. It was a one in a million chance that happened and completely changed the reality we live in. Thanks for all the memories, Paul.
Spot on!!! The timeline of our life.
I read the news today and it was good. Congratulations Paul, for regaining rights to the Beatles Song Catalog. It's right where it needs to be and should have been all along. So So So happy for you!!!!!
Read this to the tune of a day in the life haha
Is this true?? Congrats to him!
Paul is a living treasure indeed.
Дмитрий Зайденберг They both are!
Дмитрий Зайденберг you are really adorable

Idiot
Anderson Mendes evidence that he is not living? Conspiracy theory nut jobs
FINALLY an interview that isn't someone just geeking out with generic "oh my god you're Paul McCartney" questions. I feel like Paul really opened up and showed that coy and playful side of him that was so very prevalent during interviews of the Beatles-era. His remark at 25:45 made me laugh out loud big-time.
My son was there and a few days later sir Paul was at the graduation with Nile Rodgers and toyah...Great day.
Self-isolating made easy... listening to Macca and all his songs, even exercising to it! Def helps get through the day!
You are listening to William. He is NOT a "Macca". Get in your head that it was real Paul McCartney before late 1966 and from late 1966 and until today it have been William playing the role of "Paul McCartney".
Taking in what William says as historical facts are a BIG MISSTAKE because it will come a day when you must unlearn all the nonsense he have said on camera about the days BEFORE he joined Beatles.
Same here!! :)
Ölsk Zeri troll
My favourite musician of all time! Thanks for everything Sir Paul 👏🤩
I have my ticket stub from The Beatles concert in Toronto, 1964,. It was beyond amazing! Need I say anything more???
Yeah, have you got a ticket stub from a Led Zep concert?
Extended conversations such as this are virtually impossible in older formats such as television and radio. People seem so much more relaxed and genuine when they can tell their stories and not be bothered with the timing constraints of commercial interruptions.
Paul was great and Jarvis did a good job letting him be himself. I've been a fan of Paul's music for years. I might now be a fan of Paul the person.
Paul is LOVE
Alex w Paul is dead.
@Mingi Majewski
No, he's not dead. That'd be your brain.
Minji majewski - Yeah, The Original James Paul McCartney died back in 1966 . . These people can keep putting their heads in the sand , However the Truth is the Truth & one Day it will be public Knowledge. . The Winged Beatle is a great documentary & a great way to have a look at the colour film footage, Just Like The Work Done by Tina Foster & Her Side by Side photographic evidence. . : I Love Billy Shears
Paul is Billy
Let me ask you ppl this. Where are George and John’s plastic surgery body doubles hmm?🤨 If Paul’s ‘double’ was so quickly chosen.
I really like how Paul McCartney answers the question, how do I write a successful song? He simply says, in his plain-spoken way, in the way that he always talks, he speaks openly about the necessity, when you're writing a new song to go to a quiet place, free your mind of distractions, and go with an energy that comes with being on the guitar, try new things vocally, come up with some words that sound and feel magical, and then just keep on going following it through, and seeing what happens. This is exactly the way I feel it is done when I most enjoy it! And to hear someone like him say that really is a huge turn-on!
So forward to 52:47 in the video where he answers that question and maybe it'll make a lot of sense to you too. (The answer goes on to around 55:37, and during the answer he talks about the internal debate about recording "song snippets" with your phone, though you'll rarely really go back to later, this is exactly the way it happens for me!)
BTW, I really like where Paul is going with his brand these days. It really feels like he's entering into the phase where he's going to be slowing down and not being the big pop star anymore. He's still going to rock out and he's still going to play concerts and maybe record, write some new songs, but now that he's got his gray hair showing and he's probably not going to update the face lift he had years ago, it's looking like Paul is easily settling into his "Rock Elder Statesman-Hood." Which is OK by me! I think he's wearing it really well.
lol Paul looks like a fashion victim, white shirt to blend with the white hair, plain black trousers and lovely canvas shoe's! lol.. His taste in clothe's is like his taste in woman!
Face lift??
I'm loving this, Jarvis your pretty damned good at this interviewing lark,So casual, and it just works.
Chemistry..I'd like some of that with Paul
Paul Ramone is how the Ramones got their names
His second album is also called "Ram". Not a coincidence in my mind.
@@tomneville4460 Huh? How so?
@@tomneville4460
containing the song "Ram On"
I'm surprized Jarvis didn't jump on that
Actually it was Anthony "Tony" Ramonie, pronounced Rah-Moan-Ee.
❤❤❤Dear beloved legendary Paul Mccartney, what a gracious, kind, gifted, humorous, lovely soul you are!! Your humility, charm, modesty & playfulness are beyond astounding! I can listen to you talk to the end of time. Truly, you are God's blessing to all.
So much life lessons to be learned from you Sir extraordinary! ❤❤❤❤
I always forget he is actually 77! So youthful! How does he do it?
William is 82-83 years old.
William celebrates his 85th birthday tomorrow 🎊🎁🎉
@@davedavey5 *correction: you have the intelligence of a potato
money lol
What?? Never in my life have I wanted to jump on a 77 year old! But try holding me back if I ever got near this SEXY man. He's devastatingly charismatic and magnetic, and...humble, boyish. Omg I must go make some bread or something.
Great interview. (Thank-you Jarvis + LIPA!) Sir Paul is an International treasure a living legend, a genius and a great guy. 👑
Brilliant interview, would have loved to have been in the audience. Macca is an absolute legend - read the book Many years from now to get some more of his tales!
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing Paul talk, he is such a classy person. Love all his stories. As a songwriter I especially relate to his conversations about songwriting!!
Thank you everyone that had the responsibility to bring this interview & others to the forefront & public. These productions I'm seeing for the first time are as they say, "Just What the Doctor Ordered". I love to sing & I am very passionate about the great music I choose to celebrate. This was very needed by someone whom has loved all the Beatles and their amazing music as a group & individually since 1963. God bless this holy goodness of spirit. BA
If you started liking them in 1963 you got to experience the real Paul McCartney. Count yourself lucky.
@@OlskZeri-qm4ceI used to check this video daily 4 YEARS AGO just to see you responding everyday and you are still here. Absolutely unseen levels of mental illness
You are such a gift to the whole world. Are you retiring? I saw your memoirs and panicked cuz I thought what will we do without Paul?
Your happiness and wellbeing is more important than me wanting to hear you all the time. I m just curious 🤗
i could listen to sir paul for hours, listening to all his stories...loved it !
you like to listen to a substitute who ist an imposter??? You don+t listen to Paul but to Billy Shears
Senta Seltmann Idiot
Senta Seltmann troll.
I just love to listen to Paul’s stories. What a fantastic guy ,so down to earth.
But theese are just stories from lying "Sir Paul". And he is not down to earth, he is arrogant.
Paul, what a gentlemen you are. Thank you for this lovely interview. It is nice to share and reminisce sometimes. Peace always.😌
Sir PMC, good chat. Saw him twice a few years back, one show for xmas, the other was the following summer; brilliant fun shows and Beatles memories, he's just such a great guy.
Imagine watching Jarvis and Paul McCartney in the same room just having a chat live. What a trip.
May Paul live forever, he's so cool. Brazil loves you.
This is best interview for dealing with the musical process. Reading comments I realise use the questions came from students/fans rather than some journalist or presenter. So encouraging that their timeless songs didn't require straight jacketed musical forms, just intelligence, musicality and spirit.
I totally agree with the comments below. This is one of the best interviews (and interviewers) that has ever been done with Paul. The content was a breath of fresh air and gave insights to Paul and his music that even hardened Beatles fans like me are happy to have. Well done Paul. Well done Jarvis.
Jarvis Cocker is such a great interviewer ! Paul awesome as ever ! 💕 Thank you !
I love Paul, but he's being too modest about his musical knowledge. When you play guitar or piano long enough and you learn chords you start understanding the relationships between them more and more, so for him to say he doesn't have musical theory knowledge, is not true, he does, just not in the formal way. There is no way this man does not know diminished or augmented chords, or add9s or maj7s, he OBVIOUSLY does. Some of those earliest songs had those chords in there, and the man himself was knocking out amazing chord changes like Michelle.
Even "She Loves You" alone had a augmented V chord at the end, and I hear a Cm6 in the harmony vocal. during the verse (I know the guitar just plays a straight Cm).
"Too modest" is a judgement. Furthermore, there are MANY excellent musicians who don't know the technical vocabulary of chords or scales. They have practiced and spent TONS of time at their instruments. They come to understand it all, but that doesn't mean that they know and/or USE the terminology.
@@TheVeek192 There is nothing wrong with judgement.
Trev, I saw a recent video on you tube on this very topic,...the jazz type chords like add 9, cmin7, etc. The lads went to a local shop, a record shop when they were still quite young,and learned jazz chords, and how to add flavor to chord progressions from an older dude,who was a jazz guitarist. I believe the video is called "the genius of Paul McCartney on guitar. It is a video that shows some of Paul`s guitar parts on various tracks. He did videos on John and George ,with the same title(using their names,of course) and all of them are cool,and really great to see as a guitarist..if you happen to play,as I do. Check them out man,good stuff!
He probably just knows the fingerings rather than the chord names
So excited to be studying acting at LIPA this September. Sir Paul is incredible.
Thank you. A true song painter on a level that reaches beyond singer. songwriter musician. Thank you for the insight you chose to share
