And I don’t just mean a boy/girl romance. McCartney: The thing is, I’m quite a romantic. There are so many of these songs that weren’t hits at the time, but people discover them over the years, like “Here, There and Everywhere.”
Rubin: As long as we listen to the songs, we hear new things. It just made things swing along a little easier. Whenever we were writing something I would naturally just go to the high harmony. And as Rick pointed out, the Everly Brothers were an influence. And then you’ve got Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell on You.” So “Baby’s in Black” has a cold, dark 3/4 feel. McCartney: We loved that sort of waltzy feeling, a very funky feeling. How Robbie McIntosh Became a Go-To Guitarist for Paul McCartney, John Mayer, and Others So I know what a waltz sounds like, but it never occurred to me that it could be a waltz, because I’ve been hearing it my whole life as “Baby’s in Black.” The idea that it fit into some format was lost on me until Paul mentioned it. To me I just hear it as a finished thing. And that’s another interesting thing-the Beatles’ music is so ubiquitous in our lives, it’s what we compare everything else to. I didn’t realize that it was a waltz until you said it was a waltz. The whole song is harmony, instead of just part of the song. And it seemed like a good example of a song where there was John and Paul singing through the whole song together in harmony. It blew my mind when Rick asked about “Baby’s in Black,” which is one of my favorites. You really go off the beaten track in terms of the songs. So I think we just ended up just intriguing each other, because it’s a subject we both love. For me, it’s talking to someone like Rick, who’s got more knowledge than the average bear. McCartney: Yeah, talking to anyone about music is normally pleasurable. So we met up, really with only that in mind - we would talk about the influence of the bass. Rick had intrigued me when I first spoke to him on the phone and he’d said, “I’d like to focus on your bass playing.” I said, “OK, well, that’s interesting.” Then he started to enlarge upon that thought. McCartney: We didn’t know actually what we were going to do, other than talk music. The interview took on a life of its own and just wanted to be what it was. We filmed the interview, not knowing what it was going to be, what to make out of it. Rubin: It just kind of happened naturally that way. How did you decide to use such a minimal approach? No scenery - just the two of you talking. People feel like they’re watching us talk, which is exactly what’s happening. A lot of people I meet just say, “Oh yeah, I checked out that 3, 2, 1 the other night.” Rick and I talked about it the other night, and he felt it’s because it doesn’t come across as product. McCartney: Yeah, I’m getting a lot of feedback from it. Like the doc, the conversation is a mystery tour spanning their entire music lives, as they reflect on people and things that went before.
But even thousands of miles apart, their warm, friendly chemistry comes through loud and clear. (“I hope you don’t mind I’m eating a little bit, but I can talk and eat - unlike Gerald Ford.”) Rick checked in from the beach. Paul checked in from a cozy sofa, snacking and drinking coffee.
McCartney and Rubin spoke to Rolling Stone about making the documentary together, in a one-of-a-kind three-way interview, via Zoom. Fifty years after they said goodbye, the Beatles are bigger than ever - the toppermost of the poppermost, guaranteed to raise a smile. There’s also the new 50th anniversary edition of George Harrison’s 1971 epic solo statement, All Things Must Pass, which is sprawling with previously unheard treasures.

Get Back premieres on Disney Plus in November, across three nights, digging into a wealth of unseen footage from the 1969 sessions for the album that became their bittersweet farewell, Let It Be. It comes at a time when Beatles fans are feverishly awaiting Peter Jackson’s new Get Back doc, which finally drops this fall. “And luckily, I can remember a lot of the circumstances.” “Each song’s got a story of how you wrote it,” McCartney tells Rolling Stone. 3, 2, 1 has struck a nerve with fans, because there’s never been a music doc quite like it. It’s just Macca in deep conversation with fellow legend Rick Rubin, as they listen close to the Beatles’ music, sharing memories and focusing on the sonic details. But the stunning new Hulu docuseries McCartney 3, 2, 1 presents Paul like we’ve never seen him before: the proud music geek.

The world knows so many different Paul McCartneys: the charming young moptop, the Sixties avant-garde innovator, the bearded family man, the rock & roll legend.
