And, in the end / The love you takeis equal to the love you make.
— The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics
Paul McCartney is an English musician and songwriter who rose to fame as bassist, singer and co-writer of the Beatles. His partnership with John Lennon is the most successful songwriting partnership in music history, and songs of his such as "Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Blackbird" are among the most covered ever recorded.
Born in Liverpool, he taught himself piano, guitar and songwriting as a teenager and joined Lennon's group the Quarrymen in 1957. After the Beatles split he formed Wings with his wife Linda and Denny Laine, one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, and he has toured as a solo artist since 1989. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time and was knighted in 1997.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you.
I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
Somebody said to me, 'But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.' That's a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, 'Now, let's write a swimming pool.
Music is like a psychiatrist. You can tell your guitar things that you can't tell people. And it will answer you with things people can't tell you.
You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.
To keep the record straight, it wasn't always John and Yoko. We've all accused one another of various business things; we tend to be pretty paranoid by now, as you can imagine. There's a lot of money involved.
And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
