Dungeon Lane is a street leading down to a beach in the Liverpool neighborhood of Speke, where McCartney spent some time as a child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I\u2019m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else?\u201d McCartney said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John [Lennon] and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class. We didn\u2019t have much at all but it didn\u2019t matter because all the people were great and you didn\u2019t notice you didn\u2019t have much.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paul McCartney - Days We Left Behind (Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2n1IhyF6R0U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<em>The Boys of Dungeon Lane <\/em>marks McCartney\u2019s 18th solo LP and follows 2020\u2019s <em>McCartney III<\/em>.

While noodling on a guitar as they spoke, McCartney somehow hit upon a chord he didn\u2019t recognize; he quickly turned that into a three-chord progression, which became the album\u2019s first track, \u201cAs You Lie There.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tMcCartney and Watt continued to work on the album during sessions that were scheduled in between McCartney\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/paul-mccartney-got-back-2025-north-american-tour-dates-1235382476\/\">busy touring<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/paul-mccartney-help-first-time-since-1965-1235436696\/\">schedule<\/a>.
