Letโs say it!
"Days We Left Behind" is the new Paul McCartney song from the upcoming album The Boys of Dungeon Lane. It's his first since my Dad passed away in 2022. It's so beautiful, I cried throughout the whole song. Thanks, Dad; thanks, Paul, you're both immortal in my heart.

Since a few hours, it seems that we have the cover & the title of Paul McCartney's new album, expected to be announced on Friday: THE BOYS OF DUNGEON LANE. Dungeon Lane is a place in Liverpool, already mentioned by Paul in his song "In Liverpool" (1988). Will it be a sort of concept album?
A conversation about the Geroge Harrison album and my book about it with Ken Michaels Radio, enjoy!
