Wings - Silly Love Songs | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@megdelaney3677]

The blonde woman was Linda McCartney - the love of Paul's life. Married in 1969. She died of cancer in 1998.

[@miguelbotelho2613]

One my favourite bass lines in a song.

[@Marcus_Berger1701]

Man you're so right. I also like that the bass is mixed in so prominent.

[@DavidTrippi-fp9yg]

Mine too

[@SG-js2qn]

So the machine sounds at the beginning are to imply Paul's music is factory made, commercial. But I think it's fair to believe Paul is simply oriented the way he is. This song was on the radio a lot.

[@strathman7501]

I don't quite understand what you're saying. The intro sounds evoke a record pressing plant, stamping out all those silly love songs to fill the world. It isn't intended as a criticism of Paul's music 😉

[@SG-js2qn]

@@strathman7501 I think it's a press making records too, but it's humor. Not sure why that's hard to understand. 🤷‍♂️ You know this song was a response to criticism by Lennon, right? Paul's response is all in good fun. He's happily cranking out silly love songs.

[@strathman7501]

@@SG-js2qn For the simple reason that you said "sounds at the beginning are to imply Paul's music is factory made, commercial", whereas this is not the implication at all, it's purpose is indeed as you have described it in your new comment. Glad that's cleared up.

[@SG-js2qn]

@@strathman7501 I don't see the difference. I'm saying the same thing both places. But whatever!

[@scottchapin2323]

We need more love songs and love in this world

[@shadow1674]

Welcome to the 70s we were crazy we were nuts and we had the music go down the rabbit hole have fun😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@4yules]

paul mc has never failed to make the hits throughout his career..

[@jimmysmith-xb7vm]

Hey Ace! You the MAN!! You are a very smart and open minded guy. I have watched some reactors not like this because he sings “I love you” but thats what he’s trying to convey when he says “silly love songs”. This track has a full buffet of instruments and the vocals are mixed so well! 👍

[@michaela8706]

Paul's bass line in this is pure fire. Paul wrote this song as a response to something John Lennon said to a question by a reporter. After the Beatles broke up a reporter asked John about Paul. John replied that he is probably off writing some silly love song. The blond in the video is his wife Linda. She passed away in the late 90's of cancer. You need to check out Paul McCartney's Super Bowl performance from 2005. HIs and Prince's from 2007 were the best ever. Thanks and God Bless.

[@allendixon7700]

Babe, what's a heavy bicycle tour of that and the same time?It's that's a wonderful how die

[@strathman7501]

Lovely reaction to a fabulous song, so clever, just bristling with melodic and instrumental hooks, unashamedly romantic and done with an ironic wink at the same time. Brilliant McCartney.

[@BridgetBailey47]

One of those catchy songs that everyone likes. How could you not! Great reaction!

[@brendamisenogle5447]

Fav Wings song. Came out when I was in. 8th grade. Lots of summer memories. Takes me right back.

[@StatsJedi]

The layering of the several parts fit like a jigsaw puzzle. Clever composition.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

Paul and Linda spent alot of time here in Tucson, Arizona. 'the desert world' mentioned in Band on the Run. Linda graduated from the University of Arizona here. They had a house on Reddinton Rd. They liked it here because they could go out in public and not have crowds of people. I met him once outside an Ace Hardware store. I just said 'Hi Paul, nice to see you' and shook his hand. And thats how it is here in Tucson.

[@debjorgo]

There's a new Wings album out right now. It is something they recorded back in '74. Live, in the studio, recordings of some of their songs. Soily is the new video. Rocks Hard!

[@dionysiacosmos]

If you like this you will love the medly Hold Me Tight/Lazy Dynamite/Baby I Love You So/Hands of Love on Red Rose Speedway, an earlier album of Paul's. The whole album is great but that closing medly is phenomenal!

[@starlightperkins330]

We've all wondered that. What was/is it like to be Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison...(The Beatles) the rock band that conquered the world. I was in Jr. High than High School during this period in his career. Paul McCartney and Wings were the absolute VIBE. The music sounds better now then it did back then and back then it was wonderful..LOL!!!

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

Supposedly this was in response to John calling Paul's songs silly love songs.

[@claudiadavies5110]

Gorgeous fantastic reaction, the song's got heart and honesty and you always get it, thank you 😊

[@270yis7]

It's been joked that if Paul McCartney were to trip and fall onto a piano, by the time he got up and dusted himself off, he'd have written three all-time classic hits. Pretty much. 🙂

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

Yeah. Pretty much.

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

"This is so pure" - how right you are !

[@riffmondo9733]

I used play this in the car and sing it to them. They are adults now but still crank it from time to time.

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

It's just a simple song which gives you good vibes. We all need silly love songs, they warm your heart.

[@SG-js2qn]

Probably the best music era is '65-'95. Just a lot of amazing musicians and a generally favorable music distribution format.

[@les4767]

If you liked this, give "Band on the Run"-Wings a listen.

[@Marcus_Berger1701]

I love that Paul is not embarrased to just write a catchy pop song. I get that there are many musician out there like Dylan and others who are masters of lyrics and meaning and that allright. But at the end of the day songs like this silly love song or "Hello Goodbye" really bring a smile to billions of people on earth. Whats wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. By the way, the bass line of that song!!! 1975 to 1985 best time for music!

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

One of the best rock songs in pop.

[@kaarhildtorset4850]

Wow long time since ive heard this remember it was played all the time on MTV

[@DavidTrippi-fp9yg]

Good catch bro that bass line of the chainsaw 🔥💯🫵

[@beeseewill2407]

This song is a full production.

[@Blasserman]

You said it, it was a better time for sure. Things were more real before people started using the internet instead of their brains.

[@davidshort517]

I'm with you ace, I much agree that songs with positive lyrics are alot better.

[@EarthWalker2023]

🔥

[@brucesavage8493]

I suggest that you please react to the video of “This Song” by George Harrison. ✌️🖖

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Paul wrote this because John Lennon complained that the Beatles were recording too simple songs.

[@sammybeck7794]

When Linda and Paul married Linda talked him into being a vegetarian and Paul loved it and he has been a vegetarian ever since if I'm correct in that. Him and Linda would say that they would eat anything that didn't have a face

[@mbmn1960]

That's Sir Paul, not Mr. Paul. 😅

[@bobdelp2023]

YEAHHHHH, WE WERE REALLYYYY KINDA SPOILED ACE, IT'S NOT OUR FAULT!👍😊LOTSA GREAT WINGS SONGS ACE : LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAID, MAYBE I'M AMAZED, LET EM IN, LIVE AND LET DIE, WELL THERE'S SOME FOR SURE ACE! R.I.P ☹TO LINDA, PAUL'S WIFE AND YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ANYTHINGGG OFF OF HIS MASTERPIECE 76 ( BAND ON THE RUN ) 💯

[@shadow1674]

Okay Paul McCartney and wings or wings suggestions band on the run. Listen to what the man said and with a little luck. ❤❤❤❤❤ There's your suggestions shadow

[@megdelaney3677]

Please react to Paul McCartney and Wings (official video if possible) - Coming Up - It's really cute! Thanks Ace!

[@debjorgo]

I think you are referring to the Coming Up video. That's just Paul McCartney. He played all the instruments. Wings did the live version that was the hit in the US. There's a great video of that, but I don't think it's an official video.

[@joecveteticccvetetic4068]

Another wings song..bluebird

[@megdelaney3677]

Please react to Paul McCartney and Wings (official video if possible) - Mull of Kintyre -Thanks Ace!

[@wpl8275]

Name the popular silly love songs of today. You can't. Not in hip hop. Rap. Or even popular music. They can't be found. Why? Don't people fall in love anymore?
