The Beatles song

[donegal]

What was the story behind the beatles song 'Paper Backwriter'. were did paul get the idea?

[surfer mike]

Paul McCartney wrote this after helping set up a bookshop for some friends.

This was a song that led the transition from early Beatles style to later Beatles style, from love songs to opening up the subject of songs to a wider variety of subjects. Paul's Aunt had been bugging him for months, challenging him to "Write a song that wasn't about love." So he wrote this just to shut her up. He said: "We always try to do something different. And this idea's a bit different. Years ago my Auntie Lil said to me, 'Why can't you ever write about a horse or the summit conference or something interesting? So I thought, 'All right, Auntie Lil. I'll show you."
