Paul McCartney came out with his album “New” in October of 2013. This album was named properly because the songs reflected his new life.

One song that strayed apart from that trend was “Early Days.” It has an acoustic sound that the rest of the songs on this album lack. It brought to light some of the troubles that McCartney had through the years of being a Beatle.

“So many times I had to change the pain to laughter just to keep from getting crazed,” Is the chorus in the song. It just brings out some of the dark time that he went through with out really ever talking about it. Showing being part of the fab four might have been harder on McCartney than thought.

The rest of the songs on the album have more of a light but rock edge to them, describe his new life. His life is very much centered on his wife, Nancy Shevell who he married in 2011.

My name is Hannah Frey and this is my fourth year being a part of the Leaf staff. I joined the Leaf because I wanted to expand my involvement in the SHS community and I wanted to learn more about graphic design. I am passionate about social equality and the social injustices that occur in our affluent society. Being in this class has helped me to see that I want to work for a nonprofit organization and help solve these problems. I am currently the editor and chief of the Leaflet, which is our online, design-based magazine. Every issue, I pick a new topic to be covered. Using design to cover these issues attracts another audience for the Leaf and makes it entertaining to have an in-depth look about a topic. Journalism has helped shape the person I am today, and it will help me excel in my desired field of work.
