Paul never did launch his YOUR ONE OF US album, but it was heard. Some people hated it. Others hailed it as an important ground-breaking work. Captain Sensible called him a genius. His sister-in-law said it was a phase he was going through and he would get over it!

The interview that never really happened:

Q Did you write these songs?

Paul No, nobody wrote these songs.

Q Could you say what you do in words that anyone can understand?

Paul Song-improvisation, I suppose, but that sounds fr2clever for my liking.

Q You surely start with something? A lyric, chords or a theme at least?

Paul Nothing, but there is something.

Q What's that?

Paul The way I feel, fleeting thoughts, my body, my breath, the touch of the keys and strings...

Q Do you think this is your strongest work to date?

Paul No. But this is the first time it's been available in a recording.

Q How do you feel about the album?

Paul I love it, but I realise it's just something & nothing.
