La autobiografía en rústica y en un solo volumen a través de las 161 canciones más emblemáticas desde 1956 hasta la actualidad de Paul McCartney, el mayor compositor musical de la historia contemporánea.Con mas frecuencia de las que puedo contar, me han preguntado si escribiria una autobiografia, pero nunca ha sido el momento adecuado. Lo unico con lo que siempre me las he arreglado para hacer, ya sea en casa o de viaje, es escribir canciones nuevas. Se que a algunas personas, cuando llegan a cierta edad, les gusta ir en busca de su diario para recordar los acontecimientos del dia a dia del pasado, pero yo no tengo esos cuadernos. Lo que si tengo son mis canciones, cientos de ellas, de las que he aprendido que tienen el mismo proposito. Y estas canciones abarcan toda mi vida.Espero que lo que he escrito le muestre a la gente algo sobre mis canciones y mi vida que no hayan visto antes. He intentado decir algo sobre como ocurre la musica y lo que significa para mi, y espero que pueda significar tambien algo para los demas. (Paul McCartney)A partir de las conversaciones que mantuve con Paul McCartney durante un periodo de cinco años, estos textos son lo mas parecido a una autobiografia que jamas podriamos haber escrito. Sus conocimientos sobre su propio proceso artistico confirman una nocion que ya habiamos adivinado: que Paul McCartney es una figura literaria importante que se basa y extiende en la larga tradicion de la poesia inglesa.Durante sesenta años ha encarnado la inquietud que asociamos con el artista de primer nivel. Y mas alla de eso, Paul McCartney es notable porque es uno de los pocos que no solo esta influenciado por su tiempo sino que su trabajo ha definido sustancialmente ese tiempo. (Paul Muldoon)

THE SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARWinner of Non-Fiction Book of the Year, British Book Awards (Nibbies), 2022A self-portrait in 154 songs, by our greatest living songwriter'More often than I can count, I've been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I've always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I've learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.'
