From McCartney: A Life in Lyrics — Eleanor Rigby

Listen to this special episode from another podcast you'll love called McCartney: A Life in Lyrics from iHeart Media, MPL and Pushkin Industries. Face cream, a Bristol liquor business, and a lifelong reverence for the elderly are just a few of the rather ordinary and disparate inspirations Paul McCartney brought together in the creation of a masterpiece: “Eleanor Rigby.” In this episode, McCartney and Paul Muldoon tease out the song's lyrical inspirations and discuss the influence a Bernard Herrman score for a Hitchcock film had on the lead single from 1966’s “Revolver." Hear McCartney: A Life in Lyrics every Wednesday, available wherever you get your podcasts. (The series was produced by Pejk Malinovski and Sara McCrea; edited by Dan O’Donnell and Sophie Crane; mastered by Jason Gambrell with sound design by Pejk Malinovski. And executive produced by Leital Molad, Justin Richmond, Lee Eastman and Scott Rodger.Thanks to Lee Eastman, Richard Ewbank, Scott Rodger, Aoife Corbett and Steve Ithell.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
