Paul McCartney is 'Getting Back' with a new album on May 29

 In a career of over 70 years, through bands and solo work, the five year gap in former Beatle, Paul McCartney’s discography is soon to be closed.

Word of the new album, "The Boys of Dungeon Lane," came on March 25 through a cryptic link texted to fans. The link taking them to a Google Maps page showing the album’s logo on a sign carried by a boy running on Dungeon Lane in Liverpool, England.

Tacked onto the announcement was the first single, "Days We Left Behind." Indicative of what’s to come with the 14-piece LP, the track is packed with nostalgia and introspection, as seen in the first line, "Looking back at white and black reminders of my past."

Having lived a life almost entirely in the spotlight, fans are able to speculate the meanings of McCartney’s songs in a personal manner.

"The first time I listened to it, I was trying to think of it in the perspective of The Beatles and the history of the band," political science freshman Henry Busse said. "Starting when they were like 15 and then becoming famous at like 20, Beatlemania and not having real life ever again. Obviously, that meant a whole lot coming from Paul, and that being the song chosen to release as a single. And then [on second listen] I started thinking about my own life and things that I’ve moved on from, it's a very emotional song."
