  • He wrote it when he was 16 and didn’t like it. It remained unfinished and unpublished until 1964 when it became a top 10 international hit.
    But the Beatles didn’t record it.

    I've always loved this song, and finding out McCartney wrote it made the story almost legendary. The fact it was a hit goes to show that not all music critics are right.

    Nice work on this one. Just goes to show that even McCartney’s self deemed B list material was more top shelf than many other artist’s A list material. It’s amazing how easy it became for him to make it flow like water out of a tap…

    Wow! So glad I found this! I am also 77 (someone else mentioned their age) and grew up with the Beatles and the “British Invasion”. I swear my friend had the first Beatle record in America. His aunt in the UK sent him a 45 with four songs on it saying, “These are the hottest musicians in Europe.” Back in the 60’s we had no idea who collaborated with who so your insight makes those memories even more precious! Thank you,

    I'm sitting there with my youngest daughter (25 years old) and we're watching that "Get Back" documentary... the episode where Paul McCartney was writing the song "The Long And Winding Road" in the studio with the cameras rolling. He starts off with the first verse written, and he's starting to flesh out the second verse singing "The wild and windy night...something something, something something..." By the end of that episode he's got the song fully done and we're both floored. I look over and she's actually crying. She says "I can't believe I'm sitting here literally watching him create this beautiful masterpiece." The man is a genius.

      He was in Jamaica and dinner with Dustin Hoffman who said he didn't believe Paul could write a song about anything, and they pulled out a magazine which had an article about Picasso's death and last words, and Paul sat there with a guitar and wrote "Picasso's Last Words" (from Band on the Run) right in front of him. Dustin Hoffman was blown away and said to his wife "look he's doing it right in front of us!"

      Glad you liked it! And, let me assure you, finding true trivia on these guys is tough. I always get peppered by chatter from hard core fans that know the stuff. My hope is that I can deliver it in a way that isn’t just dry facts, because dry facts are a lot easier to find!!
      That is why I endeavor to structure my videos as stories with a beginning, middle, and end. I can’t always do it, though. Then it’s not as interesting.

    I used to hear A World Without Love on the AM dial when it first came out but I never heard of the song Woman. I looked for it on CZcams and I played it for about 15 seconds. It's lacking. Now I know why I never heard of it. I probably changed the station when it came on.

    Yet again, the Trooper knocks it out of the park (baseball, yes? I'm British so my exuberances would be cricket-related and make no sense!).
    You've got this whole spinning the narrative out thing up to mastery lever, Sir Trooper. Six minutes on the edge of my seat this time ... the mounting tension and building excitement ... and it turns out to be a song we all know but about which we have hitherto known next to nothing!
    Actually, thinking about it, maybe "knocked it for six" would be an understatement anyway. I'll keep the baseball reference. ;)
    Thank you, Trooper.

    McCartney's demo of "World Without Love" shows a different feel to the song. Once the song was in the hands of Peter & Gordon and their producer it was a vast improvement to the song. Definitely not a song for the Beatles. Lennon and Harrison thought the line "Please lock me away" was a joke. Imagine their amazement when the song became a number one song in many countries.

    American here living in South Africa. I was born in 1960 and loved hearing this story. I'm a music artist myself and have produced an epic Christian album which is an American/South African project. I wrote all the songs and melodies, but had it all arranged and produced here using local talent....which is awesome! I might add, that your never too old, or poor to follow your dreams. Our album took us 7 years to complete, but sometimes good things take more time. God is good! By the way, I subscribed to your channel today, and wish you well. Cheers!

    Hello from England ~ I was a teenager at the time the Beatles hit the scene. Up until then the most popular songs were mainly solo artists. This radically changed as more and more groups followed in the wake of the Beatles. There was no other group like them! At one point the New Musical Express paper list all top-ten best selling records as Beatles songs (perhaps someone could verify that). The Beatles spearheaded the famous 'British Invasion' and encouraged other groups to follow. The Beach Boys from the 'good ole USA' were a fabulous group much loved and admired by me, who had their own unique style: 'Good Vibrations' was a particular favourite of mine.

I'm an itinerant musician and language teacher (FunSongs) and have just released an album entitled the Music of Travel.
