Paul McCartney - Another Day (1971)

"Another Day" is a song recorded by Paul McCartney in New York in 1970, during the sessions for his album Ram. Although it was the first single of McCartney's solo career, "Another Day" was actually written and previewed during The Beatles' Let It Be Sessions in 1969. It was officially released on 19 February 1971, with "Oh Woman, Oh Why" as the B-side. Neither song was included on the original pressings of Ram.
"Another Day" is written in an observational style reminiscent of "Eleanor Rigby"; Denny Seiwell, the drummer from the Ram Sessions, called it "'Eleanor Rigby' in New York City."[6][7] The lyrics describe the drudgery and sadness of an unnamed woman's life at work and at home.
Paul's wife, Linda McCartney, provided vocal harmonies on "Another Day". Describing his and Linda's distinctive harmonies, McCartney said "I wanted 'our' sound." Paul was deliberately attempting to create a unique McCartney style, a musical identity outside of The Beatles.[3] McCartney had decided to list Linda as co-writer of more than half the songs on Ram, and this decision extended to "Another Day." Despite her lack of a musical pedigree, he insisted that Linda had been an active collaborator, making valuable suggestions about lyrics and melodies.[8] Linda's credits as co-writer were later regarded as business manoeuvres in the post-Beatles legal matters.[1]
Matching the lyrical sense of isolation and social alienation was the unique sound of "Another Day." Studio Assistant Engineer of the Ram sessions Dixon Van Winkle said that Paul asked him to pick the single. With McCartney's blessing, Winkle mixed the song and pressed 100 copies for radio stations. "The next day I heard it on the air, I realized...we got carried away with the bass part...it pumped like crazy. But we never remixed the song, and Paul never said anything."
Although "Another Day" and "Oh Woman, Oh Why" were not originally included on Ram, some CD re-releases of Ram have one or both songs as bonus tracks. "Another Day" has also appeared on several of McCartney's greatest hits albums, including All the Best!. It also appeared on the Wings greatest hits compilations Wings Greatest and Wingspan: Hits and History even though the song was not credited to Wings and predates the band's formation. (wikipedia)
lyrics:
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
It's Just Another Day.
At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five,
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive,
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
Ah, It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

Paul was always the genius in the Beatles. I don't mean that to shit on Lennon or Harrison, but both of them had faults that McCartney didn't have. Harrison was far too insecure and not assertive to really prosper within the Beatles (he finally did post-Beatles) and Lennon...what to say about Lennon? I know that a lot of pissy people with chips on their shoulders love the guy but if I had to say one thing that spoils his genius songwriting is his fucking bad attitude. What an absolute drag of a guy.

This song is one of Paul's highlights in many aspects: the poignant melody, the chord progression with inversions wisely woven by the bass line, the bar changes, the backing vocal arrangement and especially the wonderful lyric depicting so brilliantly the routine of a common working lonesome woman, which shows how talented Paul McCartney is, also as lyricist and poet. An absolute masterpiece.

[@sportster88]

They've already found several cures for cancer. The problem is, they wouldn't make the pharmaceutical corporations millions of dollars so they're suppressed. Search Royal Raymond Rife and also medical cannabis. Avoid eating GMO foods that are contaminated with toxic chemicals. Avoid canned food with BPA lining in the cans and don't use plastic food containers that contain BPA. Don't eat meat from animals that've been fed GMO foods and given antibiotics. Eat organic whenever possible.

[@jlbaker2000]

sportster88. I agree that the cure for cancer is already out there. Money speaks, as usual. Cancer is big business for Pharma and medical iindustry. I wouldnt be surprised if the FDA is in cahoots with them too. The worst case of greed ever. I add to your list to not freeze or heat plastic.

This is, hands down, my fave McCartney song. No screaming. Just a pretty ballad hitting, for me, the right chords. There's a downbeat sound I like. Sometimes downbeat gets me down, but when it's in a certain place, it works great. Like gray days. I'm wired a bit differently than others this way, but I prefer overcast, rainy days to sunshine.

Not according to a maintenance man I had met which does work for celebrities as Rihanna, Mariah Carey, McCartney and Starr etc. He said McCartney will not interact with him directly and uses his assistant to talk to him. When speaking of Starr, he said he is just a normal guy willing to speak with the common man. Seeing Paul in concert 2016 was amazing and Ringo of this year was also. Ringo is far humbler and more outgoing in my opinion though. Starr also gives the spotlight to every member of his all-star band. Paul clearly wanted the spotlight the entire time.

It's been years since I had heard this song. I just discovered a number of nuances and details in the arrangement that never heard before. Not to mention the composition skills. How he takes several melodic lines that each could be part of different songs and blends them all seamlessly into a perfect unit. You may like it, or not. Taste is a matter of taste, but the man's skills are superb and undeniable.

[@Voodoo66Chile]

Old comment but a good one! Ive always noticed and appreciated how Paul could weave multiple songs into one either by overlaying melodies that when isolated could sound like a totally different song or songs like Admiral Halsey and Band on the Run that morph into totally different songs seamlessly while remaining a single song.... if that makes sense!

[@karolinafafrowicz2761]

+Loren Sidebottom U r not weird, I'm fourteen and I love The Beatles, especially sir Paul McCartney, too :)

[@carlapastorracionero5492]

I'm 28 but I was 13 one day. I discovered Beatles at that time. It was magic. This is magic and it will always be. That is why we keep loving it.

[@marcwate4035]

Having been born in1960 The Beatles have been part of the soundtrack of my life. I can (and often do) listen to them all day.

[@jessechalif2428]

Just Another Day, is one of Paul McCartney's most heart-touching songs that I recall from high school in 1971, the Vietnam War draft was still happening and it was my future after graduation, listening to Just Another Day back then would always lift my soul. The draft worries would simply disappear as a lost myself in the lyrics of the song about the love that Paul had for his wife Linda. That kind of Love was what a lot of guys that were looking to be drafted could only dream of, having someone to write letters to and coming home to after our obligatory tour in Vietnam. Paul truly loved Linda, and I believe that it broke his heart to lose her, unfortunately for him, it also weakened him as a man leading him to later married a much too young woman that was just after his fame and money.

Great to hear of your life experience. So, 1971, I was 🔟, I'm trying to remember how I felt about all that, VIETNAM 🇻🇳 WAR DARK DWEEB set up ... living it as a child...

[@SisterofBrittany]

Linda's voice completes the song.

[@anavilanova5055]

More I listen Paul more I love his music and his lirics. And I love Linda too.

[@phillipoos]

Gorgeous song ....a great talent...

[@chriswalsh829]

One of my faves for sure

[@dalvaleal8223]

Essa música é simplesmente linda 😢

[@haroldchernofsky]

i love this tune and it makes me cry and dont know why@@@

[@mauriciocarvalho9969]

Essa música marca a minha adolescência Lembro que queria aprender a cantar inglês essa música espetacular. Tudo nessa época era difícil demais! e, você tinha que ouvir o disco em vinil diversas vezes escrevendo palavra por palavra, mas valia a pena.

[@Marcos-pe8pk]

Exato. Tinha 15 anos em 1971. Esta música marcou profundamente minha adolescência. Restou a saudade. Um abraço de um carioca.

[@elianagomes6268]

Verdade

[@lauramaguire4003]

So many beautiful memories i have from this song!!!

[@s.romero2934]

Still listening in December 2021! But oh so lucky to be alive !!!!!

[@javierdepaizpaetow9603]

Those beautiful harmonies with Linda and that incredible bass line with the Rickenbacker...❤😊

[@mga2899]

Happy Birthday, Paul. Just realizing that his newer songs are a half century old.

[@davidkidd450]

Sitting on my front porch, listening this tune, So relaxing 😊

[@lindamorris4029]

I love how this song is a kind of companion to Eleanor Rigby. But that song is grandiose whereas this one focuses on the detailed minutia of an ordinary life to paint a portrait of despair. Just perfect.

[@anthonyodonnell6105]

Beautifully said.

[@frankelliott1083]

I see this as the middle third of a trilogy: She's Leaving Home.... Another Day.... Eleanor Rigby. Snapshots in time of a life.

[@BrigitteBell]

I don’t care what anyone else may say, The Beatles were truly gifted. With song writing, charm, humor, and musical compilation. They had an ability to tell stories in such a way that it struck a chord in anyone listening. My ears are truly blessed to have this, and so many of their other great songs bestowed upon them.

[@saintgeorge6706]

Wow this one always takes me back to when I lived in Roehampton. I was about 13 years old. It always makes me think of a girl called Linda who lived on our estate. Thanks Mr McCartney for the happy memories.

[@michaelparanormal]

One of our greatest artists we ever produced in the UK!

[@davidbudding5836]

To produce this masterpiece soon after splitting from the Beatles shows Paul could turn his hand to anything. This song is so underrated

[@Pins33ker]

I listened to a Beatles session of this song in early development by McCartney, where he was struggling with the notes and structure of the song. It is amazing how it turned out later with prefect harmonies and notes. Absolutely beautiful.

[@gunthro3327]

I appreciate the trippy visuals

[@paulbayliss6776]

I love "Another Day" the song Paul wrote and rehearsed when he was a member of The Beatles. It sounds just like The Beatles. Paul McCartney is an amazing genius and is up there with Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky. Chopin and the many great composers.

[@Lessontobe]

I agree!

[@utubegeronimo7628]

If the Beatles had femained as a group, the 1971 "Another Day'' would have a different beat and tempo with John around.

[@Morticia1313]

Such a great song! Happy Birthday Sir Paul🥳🎉💜

[@joshuaconnelly2415]

As a child I was delighted every few months by the arrival of a new Beatles song, a song I would love deeply and imbibe into my soul. I was so sad when my mother explained what "the Beatles split up" meant: They were not going to make any more music (together). Some months later I heard a song that grabbed me, hypnotized me, and held me deliciously captive. I loved it the same as any Beatles song, more even. There would be more (Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, Band on the Run). It was almost a decade later when, upon listening to a radio special on the new hits compilation, Wings Greatest, that I realized it was none other than Paul McCartney.

[@susannebass1883]

Just one of Paul’s many, many awesome,great songs ❤

[@jakeduran62]

Who else here owns Paul McCartney's all the best CD. I absolutely love the beatles and Wings
