Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Hope this gives you all a good kickstart to your Friday! Here’s to a great weekend! Make sure to go give Peter Q some hell on the weekly poll for this week on the community tab, ha! Cheers friends! 🙌🏻🔥

Folks, please confirm: Paul played every instrument on this song, and all the background vocals are sung by Paul and his wife, Linda.

Everyone knows Paul would still be married to Linda if she had lived. She is and was his one true love. This song is a testament to that.

When Paul leaves us, the world will have less magic in it.

Paul McCartney is this generation's Mozart. The man is a music machine!

McCartney is a prolific and brilliant songwriter, and this is one of his best. Btw, he also wrote a James Bond movie theme song, "Live and Let Die."

There has never been a Rock’N roll voice as good as his. His range, his interpretation, is ability to sing soft ballads or killer rock.

Important note. This being his first solo album, he did it solo. He played all the instruments. All, yes all.. Now that's also AMAZING !

“Oh Darling” and “ Why don’t we do it in the road” are 2 great McCartney screamers.

From the first of three albums where McCartney plays all the instruments himself ( McCartney (1970), McCartney II (1980) and McCartney III (2020)). McCartney is quoted as saying that of all the songs he wrote or recorded, this is the one he would most like to be remembered for - which is quite something when you think of the amazing catalogue of songs he has been involved in.

This “demo” was recorded at his home with him playing every instrument.

Paul went from raspy screaming "...ever help me" to the most angelic sweet "ooh, ooh ooh ooh.." seconds apart. The bag of talent was sick.

Nobody can put a melody together better than McCartney.

The "Wings Over America" Live version, bros... this song is amazing live!

Love the live version of it but the pure and raw passion on this version hits me every time I listen to it.

The story I've always heard is that Paul played every instrument on every song on the album.

This is a great song that did not get the love and appreciation it deserved when it came out. I have always loved this song. Paul and Linda.

Dang! It’s like you can’t ever make some people happy! Thanks for always working so hard to balance giving the folks what they say they want, and what your own interests are. I personally suggest Band on the Run next.

I remember hearing someone say, during the time of the Beatles, that Paul McCartney was the best at screaming in tune.

Paul's "rock voice" was also in evidence in 65 with "I'm Down", the flip-side to the "Help!" single.

This is one of the greatest love songs ever written. And just my opinion, but the live version kills this version.

Recommending some Wings - Band on the Run, Jet, Helen Wheels, Live and Let Die Also Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey

Paul - Admiral Halsey/Uncle Albert George - What Is Life, All Things Must Pass John - Watching the Wheels, Jealous Guy, Instant Karma Ringo - It Don't Come Easy, Photograph

A heartfelt, genuine love song that's not schmaltzy. Not many songwriters can pull that off.

The 45rpm single "Junior's Farm" that McCartney released with his band Wings in the mid 1970's is one of his greatest rockers - - a total banger.

"Maybe I'll Be Amazed" at your reaction... anything Paul McCartney does is great in my book. "Live And Let Die" is also a good tune.❤🤘

And the context is that the love he espouses is for his wife Linda McCartney whom he credited with getting him through the very difficult time of the breakup of the Beatles. Linda is also the background singer on this track and she later died of cancer, making this song all the more poignant.

I Saw Her Standing There is classic Paul and early Beatles.

Beatles, Wings, solo, singing, writing...............There is NO ONE better.......

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING MY A&A BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!!!!!

If you play this song backwards you'll hear a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup.

Paul McCartney wrote this song, played all the instruments and recorded it on a primitive 4-track recorder at his home, over 50 years ago! He and Linda did all the vocals. A great song, with great emotions and an amazing accomplishment.

Am I the only person who prefers this version to the live version? McCartney has such a great voice and is an incredibly gifted musician. Just McCartney and his wife Linda on this song. Wow.

When Paul "digs in" on vocals, --he's 'diggin'' one of his heroes, Little Richard! A Good/Surprising FUNKY Lennon solo: "What You Got" from Walls and Bridges ('75). Harrison: "What is Life?" Starr: "Photograph." Thanks guys, --happy still-new year!

At least play the Wings Over America version. Also, you're best served playing the 3 song medley that starts the show. Venus and Mars, Rockshow and Jet.

I've seen Sir Paul in concert a few times - and this song generally gets the crowd up and moving!

Another thing to remember is that none of them were over 30 when the band ended, he was around 28 when his first solo album dropped, holy moly

And remember .... McCartney played ALL instruments on this album.

I know news flash but Macca is so talented. He can play so many instruments (like in this song he plays all of them) but also his singing is immense! He can do the ballads obviously but he can rock out and scream with the best of them✌️

This isn't just a GOOD song--it is a GREAT song--maybe the most heart=felt, honest, and genuine love song ever written...

The live version (Wings Over America) is even better.

When The Who released The Who Sell Out and the “I Can See For Miles” single, the group once again caught McCartney’s attention. When he wrote “Helter Skelter,” McCartney said he wanted to top the raucousness of “I Can See For Miles.”

The live version of this song from his 1977 tour was the radio hit and up until recently was the only version played. It’s even more amazing.

One of Paul's best songs. Great vocals, great instrumental choices, and that chromatic piano riff is just iconic now. WIth respect to the chucka-chucka muting on the guitar, that's a good example of something the Beatles did well: when you repeat a section, change something up every time.

A good example of his range as a rock&roll singer can be heard on "I've Got A Feeling" from the Rooftop Concert.

Check out Paul McCartney's song "Jet".

Love this channel. You guys are great because you’re direct and honest and have so much fun

Love your channel format. I enjoy that there are no breaks in the music and you analyze after. Your musical knowledge adds so much as well. I’ve learned to appreciate “my” music from an entirely new perspective - yours. ❤️. I rarely rewatch videos, but you have several I do. Keep up the great work!

The live version of “Amazed” is a lot better. I believe it’s on the “Wings over America” album. Another signature song from his band Wings is “Band on the run”. And “Jet”. Have a fabulous weekend guys! 🎸🎹🥁🎤🎧

"Band On The Run" full album reaction.

Thanks guys. Once again, you've brightened my day. I have so much fun watching your reactions the first time you are hearing music I have loved for decades. It always takes me back to first time I heard them. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.

McCartney and Ram are the two Paul albums that should get the full listening treatment, both are masterpieces!

Miss Tina Turner and Nutbush City Limits Now so overdue!

Other Paul McCartney & Wings songs to react to (and I hope they don't get blocked) are: "Junior's Farm", "Venus & Mars (which then goes into Rockshow)", "Jet", dang, there's so many to choose from! 😺

"The world's first blend of heavy metal and bluegrass." Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

George Harrison wrote one of the greatest love songs ever to his then wife, Patty Boyd. That song - "Something." Paul McCartney wrote this love song to his biggest love, his wife Linda. Differences between the styles of the two songs is that George sang his song with an easy vocal, sensual, like he's laying in bed next to her singing the song. Paul, on the other hand, sang his song with pure, ramped up passion. When he sang his song, you KNOW he meant every word he sang. Both songs are great. The talent that was all four members of the Beatles will never be equaled.

My post-Beatles Favs: McCartney "Maybe I'm amazed", "Uncle Albert". Lennon "Imagine", "#9 dream". Ringo "Photograph", "It don't come easy". Harrison "My sweet Lord", "What is life"

Wonderful reaction fine Gents! Your next Paul McCartney and Wings song should definitely be 1985 it's upbeat and joyful and totally bops! George Harrison What Is Life and My Sweet Lord are incredible. A&A community 100K is close at hand. Don't forget to Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe. Keep the music and the love rolling!

"Maybe I`m Amazed" was originally going to be on the Beatle`s "Let It Be" Album but Paul hung onto it knowing the Beatles were going to break up & released on this - his first solo album. He plays, sings, engineered and produced the entire album by himself. Linda helps out on some of the vocal harmonies. A really great tune he did was "Live & Let Die". A tune he wrote for the James Bond film. The production on "Live & Let Die" is one of the best ever heard. Also one of the best live performances of a song I was lucky enough to have heard. Great having you guys around.

George Harrison’s The Ballad of sir Frankie crisp...epic song, one of his very best, you’ll love it I swear!

I’m glad you reacted to the studio version first! Paul McCartney played all of the instruments in the studio version. By the time the epic live version came out on “Wings Over America,” guitarist Jimmy McCulloch had joined Wings, and he absolutely killed it on his Gibson SG. Same kind of guitar played by George Harrison (and later Peter Ham of Badfinger, who Harrison gifted his SG to). Jimmy McCulloch was in another band with Pete Townshend called Thunderclap Newman. They released an amazing song called “Something in the Air” that you should definitely hear. As far as George Harrison goes, his song “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)” is exactly what the world needs right now. 💟☮️

George Harrison “What is Life”, Ringo Starr “Photograph”, John Lennon “Whatever Gets You Through the Night”, Paul McCartney “Let Me Roll it”, “Jet”, “Junk”, “Every Night”, entire “Back to the Egg” album. Yes, Paul is my favorite, by far.

Watch the mid 70’s Concert titled “RockShow” It’s well worth anyone’s time! Paul and Wings at their best!!

It's fun watching the younger people listening to music for the 1st time that I've heard my entire life

"When John Lennon does it, you don't walk away inspired." LMAO! That's classic Andy!

Besides this being the best of McCartney’s solo work; it’s that album cover which is so iconic...everybody knows it’s McCartney 😍

I'm amazed..every time I hear it! Play it again and you always pick up more. The softness, the hard rock banging, the soulful piano and one of the most recognized guitar solos in history! It's all in the title & EVERY time I play it I play it loud & then I play it again so I won't miss anything!

This can stand alongside anything he did with The Beatles. One of the greatest recorded vocal performances of all time. The production was very deliberate, but still has that sort of in the basement by myself feel. He always got tagged as the "cute" Beatle who degenerated into soft pop later on (somewhat justifiably) but when he felt like rocking out, he really could. This is also one of those songs that 40 different artists could cover, and all have interesting takes on. Faces with Rod Stewart did a great live version...

I'll recommend George Harrison's song "Apple Scruffs" from the "All things must pass" album. Incidentally, "All things must pass" from 1970 was a TRIPLE album that came in an actual box. Double albums were not unheard of back then, but triple albums were usually reserved for Anthologies and "boxed sets" for people who had very lengthy careers. Naturally, as a triple album it was quite expensive. Many fans complained that it should have been a double album, and that there wasn't enough good content to justify it being a triple.

George Harrison’s Isn’t it a Pity, All things must pass, All Those Years Ago, Got my mind set on you, When we was fab.

This song is so close to my ♥️ ...I always tear up. I’m a huge McCartney fan. Thank you for appreciating this amazing masterpiece.

So glad you “youngsters” enjoy some great music. 55 years old and still searching for different music to listen to. Currently digging the Blues and Jazz, but I always circle back to the music of my youth. Classic Rock. Love your honest thoughts. Keep rockin’ kids. You seem to be enjoying the ride.

McCartney plays all instruments on here, and it's - hands down - the best song on that album. But there is lots of even better material from his solo records and with WINGS to be discovered.

"Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you "

These are real raw feelings Paul is giving us. He's a man so in love with his wife Linda McCartney, she helped him transition after the Beatles broke up. When Paul McCartney & Wings formed, Paul insisted Linda be involved in all of his music projects so they would never be apart when the band was on tour. She was a photographer, musician, song writer and beautiful soul. She passed away from cancer. There's another song to check out, "My Love". Another beauty for has wife and true love Linda. Also " Let Me Roll It", "Venus and Mars Rockshow" which was the intro song on tour. Happy Friday friends, stay safe!

This came off of the first album Paul did after the Beatles broke up & it’s my very best favorite of Paul’s music - actually the whole album is great & I’m so glad u guys chose this recording instead of the live one he did later. Awesome!!!

If you wanna hear Paul McCartney’s “Rock n roll voice” as you called it then I suggestion listen to “Long Tall Sally”.

Live version from Wings Over America is the classic version

Hey guys! Love you! He played ALL the instruments on this!

I am glad you rated this song well guys. Many people consider this his best piece of music. BTW he originally composed this during the Abby Road Beatle days.

Check out his triple live album “Wings Over America “. There is a KILLER version of Maybe I’m Amazed, along with other solo stuff, as well as Beatles. One of my favorite live albums.

After The Beatles broke up Paul was seriously depressed and drinking heavily. Linda's love pulled him through and this song was written for her. One of his most soul bearing songs he ever wrote. An absolute classic. Other Beatle solo works to listen to : John - Gimme Some Truth Ringo - Photograph George - Wah-Wah

One of his greatest. Totally amazing since the day it was issued. What a voice.

Goosebumps from start to finish as always.

Just swung by to say: the (famous) live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" *may* be "S" tier. ;) /Muddy Camera! :D

You NEED to do the LIVE version of this off the "Wings Over America" album. Completely blows this away.

Paul just really knew how to put a song together. Such a great variety and such a range or like you said, he could have such grit and still sounded amazing. His songs never sounded the same.

This song and also hey jude really show Paul's vocals and the way he sings both songs very charismatic and emotes feeling and the delivery of it so very soulful and very awsome song

"Jet" fun song. Paul on his own always seems to add a fun tilt to his music.

Since you guys have been requesting straight bangers, I'd recommend "Hi, Hi, Hi" from McCartney's catalogue.

Absolutely love this one. Great reaction.

THANX for THIS one GUYS, a VERY underated BUT VERY JAM 😍😎

it’s really time for you guys to check out Todd Rundgren.

Great choice, guys. Difficult to find someone who has been more of an influence on contemporary music (for 50+ years) or more talented. There are some amazing live versions of this song from over the years, too, true to the original but adding different nuances. His album "Ram" has a lot of incredible music as well, worth a listen and/or reaction!

Yes, he played every instrument on this Lp. Extremely talented individual!

Full body chills every time I hear this song (and I’ve heard it a lot).

You wanna hear McCartney sing loud? Try "Monkberry Moon Delight" Through out the whole song. Talk about stretching your voice? You will love it.

ON Fridays when I was in my 20's and 30's, we would play Working Man by Rush at 5pm and go grab some ICE-COLD beer in Houston...sometimes margeruitas on the patio and play Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do

My favorite solo song is by Andy's favorite Beatle, George! The song is Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth). A great song with a great message.

This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Its passion never gets old to me.
