Paul McCartney opens up about memory, songwriting, and his early years in a newly released conversation with Paul Mescal tied to his upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
The discussion centers on the personal stories behind the project, including McCartney’s childhood in post-war Liverpool and the people who shaped his life before The Beatles became a global name. Mescal, who is set to portray McCartney in upcoming Beatles films, guides the conversation through the album’s themes of family, friendship, and creative beginnings.
McCartney reflects on how memories can return through music, especially when writing about places and relationships from his youth. The album includes Days We Left Behind and Home to Us, a duet with Ringo Starr.
