Robert Bunter: Paperback Writer is really about Paul's relationship with his father. He got the whole family in there and you get an idea of what their Sunday dinners were about. He knocks it out with such ease that you don't realize that he just told a better story than one of those million verse Springsteen songs. Richard Furnstein: Paul really opens up this baby with the "dirty story about a dirty man and his clinging wife doesn't understand his son is working for the Daily Mail" verse. We're here for "Something New," so let's go! Great, thanks for the completely unoriginal, hackneyed insights. McCartney - fun, happy, shallow songs about everyday people Lennon - unsettling, dark, deep songs about himself. Robert Bunter: Okay, there are two things about this song that everybody knows: it was the first time they were able to get that much of Paul's bass into the mix (Lewisohn tells us this was achieved by using his loudspeaker as a microphone, whatever the hell that means), and, as the flipside of "Rain," it is one of those perfect Lennon/McCartney contrast 45's which exemplify their respective tendencies (the others, of course, are "Penny Lane" b/w "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Hello Goodbye" b/w "I Am The Walrus"). He'll give you a hit if you want a hit, it's no problem. "I'll be writing more in a week or two." Paul's talking about himself here. It's all groove and words that sound nice but don't really mean anything (and it came out at a time when Paul was lauded for avoiding the word "love" in a song). Richard Furnstein: For my money, this is Paul's first true Wings song.
