About this listen
A rare, promotional-only interview recorded at AIR Studios in London in July 2005, featuring Paul McCartney in candid conversation about the creation of Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.
In this revealing audio document, McCartney reflects on the thrill of creating music versus the vulnerability of releasing it, the "mystical" nature of songwriting, and how his voice and performance approach have evolved over time. He speaks openly about stepping outside his creative comfort zone under the guidance of producer Nigel Godrich, whose direct and uncompromising approach challenged McCartney to rethink how the album was made.
Recorded across sessions at RAK Studios, Ocean Way in Los Angeles, and AIR Lyndhurst, the interview includes detailed, track-by-track insights into songs such as "Fine Line," "Jenny Wren," "English Tea," "Too Much Rain," and "Riding to Vanity Fair." Along the way, McCartney shares studio stories, creative tensions, and moments of discovery that shaped one of his most acclaimed modern-era albums.
An essential behind-the-scenes companion for McCartney and Beatles fans, as well as anyone fascinated by the craft, risk, and intuition behind great record-making.
