This song was so atmospheric, perfect for a cool cloudy day and it had the sort of sound that I wished that wings had more often, a soft and accoustic Beatles sound
Одна из самых первых песен Пола Маккартни, которые я услышал подростком много-много лет назад, раньше чем большую часть песен БИТЛЗ. И эта песня всегда ассоциировалась у меня с группой УИНГС, это феномен Пола Маккартни как "соло"-суперзвезды, со своей исключительной интонацией, а не "коллективного музыкального феномена" группы БИТЛЗ. Эту песню можно считать квинтессенцией творчества Пола Маккартни в его ипостаси "ЭКС- битла".
This song came on - the Drive In speaker, long ago when I was young enough to wear my pajamas to watch movies… in a car. The auditory joy would stay with me to this day; at the age of 57. Thank you mom and dad for taking me with you on wholesome adventures, and sharing your love of music & movies.
I’m sure many have thought this but without Linda being in Paul’s life at that time, supporting him & creating a family the world might’ve never been given all the music he’s made. These songs are love songs for Linda & the world.
Takes me back to my 9th grade mechanical drawing class where Mr Colvin would sometimes be have a radio playing an FM station and it would be playing quite frequently in fall of 1971, my freshman year in high school. I actually thought is was a Beatles song a few years later when I finally got into appreciating the Beatles music in 1974-1975 my senior year. It sounded Beatleque and not until a few years later did i learn it was after the Beatles.
Memories of our Dad and Stepmom Elaine, her kids-our step siblings and weekends in San Pedro when we would visit with them. I was 7 when this came out, so many good times….
The women relegated to typing as secretaries for their whole career in that long grey sequence at 0:50 followed by the old white men on phones supposedly running everything really captures the "kettle on the boil" anger bubbling up at the time.
I loved Ram, his best album ever post Beatles & worthy musically if it had been a Beatles album say after Pepper, not one bad track but for some payback reason from the then nasty lets get at the Beatles press, Ram was not well received. It beggers belief, what was inside their ears! Monkberry Moon Delight is my fav but its all good. George had also his All Things Must Pass triple alb which was liked but I felt it was overlong overproduced (Spector fucks up again!) & only a few good tracks. It was liked it was recorded in a train station! Paul produced Ram himself, played most of the instruments with some session men also. He is just so good but Ram is still a bit forgotten, even by Paul himself in concert, he does the odd song, but Ram is like one big song as it connects each track together in a weave. Band on the Run isnt as good as Ram, nice yeah, but it gets all the plaudits. Ram came out '71, the Beatles had a messy divorce & Ram got John retaliating so it got lost unfort. If it had been released in' 73 it would have been received much better. Since it got the audio cleaned up as they do for releasing it again it sounds even better as I felt the original was a touch brashy.
Agreed agreed agreed Although at the time I think it was popular to trash The Beatles in general as Let It Be was not critically acclaimed either (can you imagine?!?). Paul was so unhappy with Spector and Let It Be released in 70 Not surprising as John and Phil were drunk for many of the sessions and Phil fired a bullet info the ceiling. (More Phil chaos than Phil precision) If you watch Living in the Material World you can see Maca could barely get George and Ringo out of bed to work, and George ultimately credits Paul for their having anything accomplished during that period It’s interesting to note that Bowie released Hunky Dory in 71 (which has a lot of sings that sound like they are loosely based on/influenced by Maca cuts on Sgt Pepper’s and The White Album) and that didn’t sell well either. It was mostly ignored until a few years later, after the success of his next album, when the label was less afraid to promote Bowie “post Ziggy”. I think of Paul had Promoted Ram after the success of his releases with Wings, it would have sold more copies. Still it’s in the top 30 for 1971. It went Platinum. Song Was number 1 in August ‘71 It’s just not as famous as the others that’s all. That’s okay. We all know if you are here listening, you have good taste! :))
Estaba viendo vídeos de accidentes automovilísticos y peleas callejeras cuando encontré este video no se por que estaba viendo tantas estupideces cuando hay música tan positiva, es Paul mcartney pero todavía suena a the Beatles, excelente me encanta, Beatles por siempre.
This is one of the few songs you can really hear Linda's vocals. I really like that. This is one of the first 45's I bought. thank you, Paul. If anyone wants to hear Linda sing more with Paul click this link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UY3JwlwgqxU.html
