Paul McCartney's songwriting therapy
Sep 23, 2005, 6:27 GMT
Sir Paul McCartney has confessed he "talks" to his guitar when he's feeling down.
The Beatles legend, who is married to model Heather Mills, admits he uses songwriting as a form of therapy.
He revealed: "There's this sort of therapy aspect in songwriting sometimes, and that's one of the reasons I love it.
"If I'm feeling really low, I'll take my guitar into the darkest corner I can find in the house, sit with it, and talk to the guitar, explain it all to the guitar. And it works. You come out of there and it's magical."
Earlier this week, McCartney was left injured after falling down an open trapdoor during a concert.
The legendary musician plunged down the hole, from which a grand piano was set to emerge, during a performance in Florida injuring his elbow and back. McCartney, 63, had to be helped up by concerned stage hands but bravely carried on.
He told the 18,000-strong crowd: "There's a big hole in the stage and I just fell into it. A word to the stage crew, I want a big fence around here tomorrow. We ought to construct a picket fence, that would look nice!"

Poor Paul!
I'm glad he's ok. When I saw him in Atlanta he told the audience that he had fallen, but that he wasn't injured. I think he was afraid to tell us he had hurt himself because he wouldn't want people to worry. Not that we would worry to much if he told us he was alright. We beleive eveything Pauley tells us!
