Product Description: “There are lots of sort of lovely memories about these places.” Sir Paul mines his childhood for inspiration on some of the most intimate songwriting of his unrivaled career.
Paul McCartney has written songs about love, loss, loneliness, attempted murder, and countless other characters and topics from his earliest Beatles days. But with The Boys of Dungeon Lane, one of the most prolific and influential rockers of all time gets intimately specific: He mines his stomping grounds and family photos for inspiration—including the street where a pair of bullies mugged him a few blocks down from his childhood home in Liverpool.
“When I say ‘the boys of Dungeon Lane,’ I’m thinking of those two boys,” McCartney tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. In the softly strummed and sepia-toned “Days We Left Behind,” the “Liverpool scallies” who stole the young McCartney’s watch make an appearance, but so do memories invoking George Harrison and John Lennon, who he met as a teenager and wrote his first songs with at his house on Forthlin Road.
While love songs like “We Two” and “Never Know” are very much anchored in the current moment, others stand out for their historical significance. “Lost Horizon” is a track that McCartney had shoved in a drawer and forgotten about. “Home to Us” is a jovial reunion with Ringo Starr (and their first duet since The Beatles disbanded).
All of them strike a rare retrospective tone for Sir Paul: He has written about the loves of his life and family before, but never in such intimate, autobiographical detail. Below, McCartney takes us through a few tracks off The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
