Paul McCartney says he still asks John Lennon for advice when writing songs, as he feels his spirit is with him.

The Beatles legend, 83, released his new album and was interviewed by Paul Mescal, who will play him in upcoming films.

McCartney talked about his relationship with the Beatles and the nostalgic lyrics on his new album, mentioning John Lennon.

John Lennon had a tough life, with his dad leaving and his mum passing away, so he used humor to cope, which helped with songwriting.

McCartney still refers to Lennon in his mind when writing, asking for his opinion on new songs.

Paul McCartney answered questions from the actor who will play him in new movies.

McCartney told the actor that he still talks to John Lennon's spirit, and sometimes gets feedback, and also feels George Harrison's presence.

McCartney also spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music and thought Lennon would be proud of Liverpool's airport being named after him.

Lennon would have liked the airport naming, as they used to hang out there and watch airplanes, which was exciting for them back then.

People who seem bold can be sensitive inside, like John Lennon, who had a tough life and used humor to cope, which McCartney understood because he lost his mum too.

John Lennon once asked how he would be remembered, and McCartney said they had done enough to be remembered with respect and love, and the airport naming would have answered that question.

McCartney, who duets with Ringo Starr on the new album, is already thinking about making more music, but is not in a rush.

McCartney is always looking to the future, listening to music, and will start writing again once the album is out, without feeling pressured to make another album right away.

The Boys Of Dungeon Lane by Paul McCartney is now available.
