Paul McCartney takes fans down the streets of his Liverpool childhood in his first solo album in ​more than five years due out in May.

在預計5月推出的睽違逾5年的個人專輯中，保羅．麥卡尼帶著歌迷追尋他童年時在利物浦街道上的足跡。

"I was thinking just that, ​about the days I left behind and I do ⁠often wonder if I’m just writing about the past ​but then I think how can you write about anything ​else? It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool," the 83-year-old said.

83歲的麥卡尼說，「我當時在想的是，關於那些我遺留在身後的日子，我也的確時常思忖，我是否只是在描述過去？但我接著又想，你又還能寫些什麼呢？利物浦有著太多的回憶了。」

The tracks evoke his childhood in post-war Liverpool, his parents and adventures shared ​with band mates George Harrison and John Lennon before ​the world had woken up to the Beatles, according to a statement ‌on ⁠his website.

根據網站聲明，這些曲子喚起了他在戰後利物浦的童年、父母，以及披頭四風靡全球前與夥伴喬治．哈里森和約翰．藍儂的共同歷險。

"It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there," McCartney said about "Days We ​Left Behind".

在描述「我們遺留在身後的歲月」一曲時，麥卡尼表示，「中段提到了一些關於約翰，以及我曾居住的Forthlin路。Dungeon巷就在附近。」
