Memory Almost Full

by Paul McCartney

Although more than 35 years have passed since The Beatles broke up, their legacy lives on in the two surviving band members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Recently celebrating his 65th birthday hasn't slowed McCartney down: his new album rose to No 8 on the British charts.

Memory Almost Full is a paradox: many of the lyrics imply that McCartney is looking to the future, yet musically many of the songs are reminiscent of his work with The Beatles and Wings.

The anagram in the CD title, 'for my soul mate LLM', echoes the sense of nostalgia found throughout the disc. The woman in question is his late wife Linda, most definitely not Heather, from whom McCartney split last year.
