The daughter of pop megastar Paul McCartney has given an intimate peek into the hallowed halls of Abbey Road, the studio where he -- and many other music stars -- recorded masterpieces.&nbsp;

Mary McCartney directed the new documentary, 'If These Walls Could Sing', which gets a worldwide release on Disney+ on January 6 after premiering in North America in December. &nbsp;

The London studio gave its name to arguably The Beatles' most beloved record, 1969's "Abbey Road", and it was on the nearby zebra crossing that the Fab Four shot their legendary cover photo.&nbsp;

"I have a personal connection with the studio," Mary McCartney told AFP.&nbsp;

"I grew up coming here, we lived nearby. I have a very funny picture that I love -- my mum (Linda McCartney) leading a pony across the zebra crossing."&nbsp;

Inevitably, The Beatles occupy a major part of the 90-minute documentary, since they recorded no less than 190 of their 210 songs there.&nbsp;

But Abbey Road has a long history, established in 1931 by record company EMI.&nbsp;

Initially dedicated to classical music, it had cutting edge technology for the time, and was used by composer and conductor Edward Elgar shortly before his death in 1934.&nbsp;

"So many people come to Abbey Road to the zebra crossing but don't come inside because it's a busy working studio, so I wanted to bring the viewer inside," said McCartney.

The studio became "the bunker" for The Beatles after the hysteria surrounding the group led them to quit touring in 1966, recalls Giles Martin, son of their producer George Martin, in the film.&nbsp;

Many stars have since sought to tap into the magic of the place, from Elton John and Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin and Oasis -- all of whom feature in the new film.

"Each person tells a different story, different aspects of what makes Abbey Road a whole," said Mary McCartney.&nbsp;

Beatles fans have been spoiled recently, with the new documentary coming little over a year after "Get Back" in which director Peter Jackson painstakingly reworked footage of the band writing and rehearsing the album "Let it Be", including their famous performance on the roof of Abbey Road. &nbsp;

Paul McCartney's daughter gives intimate tour of Abbey Road

From looking for inspiration on the bus to finding titles in dreams, Paul McCartney looks back on his life in a new book recounting how he wrote some of the world`s most famous songs. 
 
Described as "a self-portrait in 154 songs", 'The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present' spans McCartney`s eight decades of songwriting - as a teenager, a member of the Beatles, his time with rock band Wings and as a successful solo artist. 
 
Released this week, the two-tome set is arranged alphabetically, with lyrics to songs like 'Hey Jude', 'A Hard Day`s Night'&nbsp;and 'Penny Lane'&nbsp;accompanied by their inspiration.

"Once I've finished a song, then you release it to the world so I don`t worry what happens to it," McCartney said on Friday at an event to discuss the book. 
 
"I`ve come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to get it like the meaning I had, they`re going to put their own meanings on it and I think you have to accept that." 
 
Both late Beatle John Lennon, with whom McCartney wrote songs, and his first wife Linda McCartney, who died in 1998, features heavily in the book. "It was always great to work with John from the very first time ... We just developed a way of working with each other and trusting each other that grew and grew," he said.

"We grew up together. It was like walking up a staircase and we both went side by side ... It is great to just realise how much I loved this man."

Considered one of the greatest songwriters of all time, McCartney penned his first composition, "I Lost My Little Girl", as a 14-year-old after his mother died in 1956. 
 
Years later, it was a dream of her comforting him that inspired the title for 'Let It Be'. "She was just sort of saintly ... just saying to me `it`s going to be ok, just let it be`," he said. 
 
"It was very warming to have that dream, I felt great when I woke from it and then thought that`s a great title." The book recalls his hometown Liverpool and inspiring family members. Edited by poet Paul Muldoon, it is also filled with pictures, handwritten drafts and letters. 
 
McCartney recently said it was Lennon who had instigated the world's most famous group to split in 1970, not him. "The biggest misconception at the end of the Beatles was that I'd broken the Beatles up and I lived with that for quite a while," he said. 
 
Asked about the price of fame, McCartney, 79, said; "Your privacy ... I had to cope with what (fame) brought. That`s still what I`m still doing, coping."
