Paul McCartney Said a Song From The Beatles' 'White Album' Has 1 of His Best Melodies
Paul McCartney said he wrote a song for The Beatles’ The White Album with Donovan. The track was originally about the moon but it turned into a song with simple lyrics. Paul is a big fan of the song but it’s nothing compared to a Hollies song with a similar name.
Paul McCartney said one song from The Beatles’ The White Album has one of his best melodies. Notably, he said another rock star helped him write the song. Despite Paul’s feelings about the track, it’s nothing special.
“I remember sitting around with Donovan, and maybe a couple of other people,” he continued. “We were just sitting around one evening after our day of meditation and I played him this one and he liked it and we were trying to write some words.”
Paul and Donovan had difficulty writing words for “I Will.” “We kicked around a few lyrics, something about the moon, but they weren’t very satisfactory and I thought the melody was better than the words so I didn’t use them,” he said. “I kept searching for better words and I wrote my own set in the end; very simple words, straight love-song words really. I think they’re quite effective.”
