It’s incredible stuff! Hard not to get fired up about our own writing and thinking when you see parts of the process like this.

Something so incredibly cool and inspiring about one of the most accomplished songwriters of all time banging out a couple of milquetoast chords and saying, β€œI mean, that’s just silly. I shouldn’t dare to do that. I’m showing what a lousy writer I am.” Bring that energy to your work!

Saw this clip of McCartney interviewed on the South Bank Show in 1978 the other day and haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It’s a one-minute crash course in creativity and success. You can’t be afraid of being seen as silly or not good enough. You just have to do the work and get it out.
