McCartney's Song-Writing

McCartney was famous for his writing of exceptional pop melodies. His strong melodic ideas give the tunes in his songs character. Paul's writing is very cheerful, light, and lively creating a playful tone to most of his songs. The main reason why the beatles broke was due to the difference of style in the songwriting. Lennon was dark ad melodramatic whereas McCartney is jovial and optomistic. The sounds and difference of the voices exemplify the opposite tone and theme that they envision for their songs. McCartney uses romanticism in his music and writes happy, joyful songs. He uses the theme of "playful pop" in his lyrics to help the listeners envision a bright, happy world and even when there is struggle, it's always possible to be strong and rise above. McCartney, along with Lennon, helped give the youth a voice and single-handedly changed the face of rock and roll. McCartney contributed to the 8th James Bond movie by writing the song "Live and Let Live", which became the title and theme of the movie. As McCartney's singing and songwriting flourished, he started making duets with other major music legends such as Micheal Jackson and Stevie Wonder. McCartney's influence on the music world has greatly grown since his days with The Beatles and he only continues to get better as the epotimy of an epic singer/songwriter.
