The Beatles Secret: Here's How Paul McCartney Made 'Abbey Road' Song
Paul McCartney chose the best inspiration to create one of the songs in The Beatles' album, "Abbey Road."
Out of The Beatles members, McCartney is the most public about how he has written and composed songs throughout their career.
For instance, he said he made "Yesterday" when he was about to sleep and composed "Hey Jude" for John Lennon's son, Julian.
But among his inspirations, a heartfelt poem gave birth to their "Abbey Road" album's song, "Golden Slumbers."
In his 1997 book, "Many Years From Now," McCartney said that he based the hit track on "Cradle Song" - a poem from Thomas Dekker's play, "Patient Grissel."
He revealed that he liked the poem's words so much. However, he faced one problem while doing it.
"I thought it was very restful, a very beautiful lullaby - but I couldn't read the melody, not being able to read music. I just took the words and wrote my own music. I didn't know at the time it was four hundred years old," he explained.
