On the vulnerability of the song "Early Days":

Sixx: "'Early Days,' my favorite song on the record, just jumped out. Gimme a little back story on that one. By the way, I wanted to say, your voice, it sounds very vulnerable. It's almost like you were just sitting there telling a story. It was fascinating."

McCartney: "Well, it's interesting you should say that because that was when I started to work with Ethan Johns. ...I came in with the song, which I had already written, and it's basically a little acoustic thing and it's me remembering, basically me and John when we were just two kids, before we'd started The Beatles, before we'd gotten on as song writers, so you know, I'm really going back to kind of very early days....So I just sat in the middle of the studio and sang it and he said 'great.' I said 'ok, now let's kind of look at the vocal, because it's a little bit, you know,' like you said, 'vulnerable.' I would have said dodgy, a little bit, maybe it's not the greatest vocal. And he said, 'no, no, no, you gotta leave it. That's what's good about it. It's just you,' and I said 'I didn't sing that word too well, you know I'm doing a falsetto, a bit croaky or something.' And he said, 'It's ok man, that's how this song has got to be sung'...thankfully I listened to him and thankfully you like it."
