I’m a huge Beatles fan and among the many many books about their life & legacy, I picked up “A Hard Day’s Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Song” to read while traveling. It focuses keenly on the writing process, not creative interpretations of their songs, which makes it a fascinating read and stand out among other books I’ve read.It describes in depth the collaboration between Lennon & McCarthy with details on who was the lead, how others assisted and inspired, and where they were when writing the songs. Any recommendations on what I should read next? I’m into biographies, autobiographies, books about developing creative instincts, and those huge Astrology birthday books!!

Ooooo, learning about the writing process from The Beatles?! HOW COOL! Actually, would you be willing to post about this in the Composing Lounge as well? Songwriting is definitely a nuanced aspect of creating music for film and television: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/composing

Hi Shellie, I'm from Liverpool. My Dad used to play piano in the Cavern Club when it was a jazz venue before the Beatles and I live around the corner from the Casbah where they first knocked together.
