BLACKBIRD SINGING
by Paul McCartney
Blackbird Singing célèbre des retrouvailles et une révélation. Retrouvailles jubilatoires avec des chansons inoubliables : Penny Lane, Yesterday, Hey Jude… Révélation d’un grand poète populaire grâce à ces poèmes inédits au réalisme sensible et tendre où se côtoient le souvenir, la peur de la solitude, l’humour et l’espoir. Avec la passion des mots, Paul McCartney évoque les lieux de sa jeunesse (Liverpool), les êtres aimés et disparus (John Lennon, Ivan Vaughan, sa femme Linda) et ses batailles (Pour que ça change). De ballades élégiaques en cris de révolte, sa poésie se déploie en un chant éblouissant de maîtrise. « Videz votre esprit, oubliez donc le nom et la célébrité. Lisez et écoutez ces mots limpides – et faites-vous votre propre opinion ». Suivons le conseil de son ami Adrian Mitchell et laissons-nous emporter par la musique des mots de Sir Paul. |

YESTERDAY & TODAY
by Ray Coleman, Paul McCartney, Ian Ruskin
Amazon.com
"Yesterday" was recorded more than thirty-five years ago at the peak of the Beatles' triumphs and is the most recorded song ever. An astonishing 2,500 versions of McCartney's prized signature song have been made. Focusing on "Yesterday" and the era in which it was created, author Ray Coleman, who was close to the Beatles' story from the start, draws a fresh portrait of McCartney, then and now. In candid interviews McCartney discusses his rich and often mercurial relationship with John Lennon and a wide range of subjects.

Blackbird Singing: Poems and Lyrics, 1965-2001
by Paul McCartney, Adrian Mitchell
Amazon.com
The hardcover publication of Blackbird Singing, the first collection of Paul McCartney's poems and lyrics, was an international cultural event—celebrated in concert halls, at literary festivals, and in newspapers and magazines throughout the world. "While McCartney is of a completely different cast than Bob Dylan, his appeal may be even greater than that of the latter great poet-songwriter," wrote Publishers Weekly; The Guardian hailed McCartney's words as "a remarkable feat of historical imagination." The best-selling Blackbird Singing now includes several new poems and lyrics, including "Freedom," which McCartney performed in New York City at a benefit concert last fall. To actually read McCartney's poems, whether exuberant ballads of love or poignant messages of deepest grief, is to appreciate the electrifying power of the confluence of dream and song. Inspired by his late wife, Linda McCartney, Blackbird Singing gives us extraordinary access to the inner life of one of the most influential figures of our time. |

Wingspan: Paul McCartney's Band on the Run
by Paul McCartney
Amazon.com
A companion to the CD and ABC documentary of the same name, Wingspan: Paul McCartney's Band on the Run is a photographic tribute to the ex-Beatle's 1970s band Wings, which also included the late Linda McCartney. The lush color and b&w photographs show the band on the road and in the studio, with plenty of shots of Paul and Linda working together, making eyes at each other and frolicking en famille. The pictures are interspersed with copious quotes from Paul. "My fridge had half a bottle of sour milk and a bit of dried cheese. Linda took the mickey out of me for that. The house was a bit of a tip, really, just a place to sleep, but when she arrived it became a place to live in."

Blackbird Singing: Poems and Lyrics 1965-1999
by Paul McCartney
Amazon.com
It is nearly impossible to scan any of Paul McCartney's lyrics without hearing the Beatles' music in the background, dictating rhythm, pace, and mood. But as Blackbird Singing demonstrates, the effort is worth making. This first collection brings together early and late poems, along with some of Sir Paul's greatest hits (including the words to "Yesterday," "Lady Madonna," "Penny Lane," and "Hey Jude.") In his introduction, editor and fellow Liverpudlian Adrian Mitchell urges readers to "wash out the name and the fame" and examine what's on the page. If you can do this, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
True, some of the lyrics appear trite on paper--"Heart of the Country" and "Mull of Kintyre" are notable offenders. Even "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" seems naked and frail without the rousing brass section. But McCartney's deeper vulnerability comes to the surface in "Dinner Tickets," a poem about his childhood. And "Standing Stone" recounts a gutsy fable about a man using the power of imagination to fend off the enemy: he erects a standing stone, "a weathered finger to the sky" and learns to be "at peace with peace." "Irish Language" boasts a rare streak of irony as the narrator admires the way "those Irish chappies" swill the language around in their mouths and dribble it through their fingers. The song ends with a beautifully timed punch line: "The Beatles were a bunch of Micks." Blackbird Singing closes with poems dedicated to the author's late wife that are tender, sparse, and startlingly honest. --Cherry Smyth --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. |
