Некоторые ответы, касающиеся нового альбома:
- There are quite a few references to winter on this album. Winter is a word from both the first track, long tail winter bird and the last, when winter comes. There’s also winter like imagery in the lyrics of Sieze the day, eg. “when the cold days come,” and the reference to Santa Claus. Does this imagery have any significance?
ПОЛ: I like all four seasons actually! The main reason we get the winter thing on this album is because the song When Winter Comes was originally going to be a bonus track on the Flaming Pie reissue. But i liked it, and thought it deserved a bit more than that, so I ended up making a short animation film with Geoff Dunbar that came out yesterday. Geoff asked me to do a short piece of music for the opening title, and another for the end titles. As I was in lockdown (with nothing better to do!) it gave me a great reason to go to the studio, and that really started the whole project.
- "When Winter Comes" is my favorite song on McCartney III, a perfect new addition to my Christmas playlists :) . What made you decide to revisit it after recording it originally? Where did the animated video concept come from?
ПОЛ: At our office party last year I was chatting to my friend Geoff Dunbar, who I had made animated shorts with previously. I asked if he would want to make another film about using the song 'When Winter Comes'. He agreed to do it and assembled a team of animators, who all happened to be women. I pointed this out to him and he said he wanted an all girl band! The look of the video was very loosely based on some of Humphrey Ocean's drawings of birds.
- I love McCartney III, especially Deep Deep Feeling, it’s very unique, even amongst your technicolour catalogue.
Please could you tell me how - after all these years - you manage to keep those creative juices flowing? Your originality continues to be second to none.
ПОЛ: There's only one answer and it's just because i love making music! And on this album I thought I was just experimenting, but it turns out I was making a record.
- Are you as satisfied with the end result of this album as you were with previous studio works?
Which songs from McCartney III would you most likely enjoy playing live if concerts can be resumed?
ПОЛ: Yeah, this one is perhaps more pleasing because I wasn't trying to make an album! It was quite a surprise and so quite a pleasant one. As for songs to play live, I think Slidin' could be fun, and Find My Way and The Kiss Of Venus.
- What's Nancy's favourite song on McCartney III?
ПОЛ: Nancy's favourite? I think she likes 'The Kiss Of Venus'.
- what's the song in the new album that you had the most fun playing?
ПОЛ: The Kiss Of Venus was interesting because that was a song I had to play straight on acoustic guitar. It was fun to do and I was happy with how it turned out.
- how does it feel to have created something so timeless, that it will be enjoyed for generations to come?
ПОЛ: Thank you! I'm really happy about how McCartney III has been received because, as I said at the beginning, it jumped out and surprised me. I had no intention of making a third McCartney album, but I was very happy when I realised I had done. And I got to have so much fun making it! It was a perfect way to spend lockdown. It made me do Rockdown!
- You said that Lavatory Lil harks back to the Beatles song Polythene Pam. Was Polythene Pam a conscious inspiration for the writing for Lavatory Lil or did the similarities dawn on you only after you had finished it?
ПОЛ: The similarities were noticed by me after I'd written 'Lavatory Lil''. They're both songs about fictitious characters and we'd met people similar to them in life.
- Which song from the new album is your personal favorite? Or which one was the most fun when recording?
ПОЛ: Always difficult to say as they change, but at the moment it's Deep Deep Feeling.
- Who drew the wee man on the inside of the gatefold of Mc Cartney III ?
ПОЛ: That's one of mine. It's actually a little painting based on my smiling face signature.
- How would you describe McCartney III in three words?
ПОЛ: Quite a surprise!
