Paul McCartney - Kicked Around No More

Off The Ground

[@harveyjohnny1967]

Just consider for a minute that hardly anyone knows this song. And how brilliant it is. This is not even a mid-level well-known Macca tune. Insane.

[@leifgunnarlindberg3879]

B-side.

I agree it's not mid-level, it's top level!

Omg that's cute. I say something similar. "Nobody puts my Paulie in the corner"

[@gabrielal1364]

I wish Paul, one day, he decides to put all together these unknown songs because the're such a pure gold! Songs like Same love, she's so beautiful, the loveliest thing, kicked around no more... it's really sad people don't know about these songs :(

[@ColtraneTaylor]

It was released on Off the Ground: The Complete Works, now out of print. Used copies about a 100.

[@gabrielal1364]

@@ColtraneTaylor yeah, really sad. Probably, the archive collection will include this song and the others he added to the complete works but, i mean, it's really sad the general public won't know these type of songs because they will be released in formats that just the fans will buy and know it. Too many people think Paul music career is just he did in The Beatles but, don't misunderstand me, he really did masterpieces in this period but his solo career is fulfill of masterpieces too, most of them, underrated :((

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@gabrielal1364 I prefer Wings to late 90s McCartney than Beatles including his own Beatle songs. He got better imo.

[@MarcoZucchi81]

[@5tone_10]

wow never noticed it was linda in the background, I like it a lot

[@SLCommunications]

I only came across this song yesterday (!) - prompted by a podcast featuring Danny Baker who said this was his favourite Macca song. Really lovely melody - with more than a hint of 10cc 'I'm Not in Love' harmonies. Sir Paul: please release this on Spotify. 👍

[@tonixjesse9087]

I didn't know this song. Paul never fails to amaze the world every time. Love is love.

One of my favorite McCartney song. Easy listening. Relaxing. I like the melody.

[@TrejoBeatriz]

This is so astonishingly beautiful ... makes me bleed... Heart-wrenching-beautiful..."Take my blessing when you go ..., I don't want to be kick around no more.... it kills me to hear him ... so incredibly beautiful.... and the music...makes me enter into a trance...

[@brianherrington7226]

I agree its as good as any ballad hes ever done and Lindas harmonies make it that much better. He recorded this around the time I was going thru a very painful break up with a woman and if I had heard this or it had been released in the US on the Off The Ground album I would have had a go to song for healing from my favorite solo artist and even today I think boy thats the way I really felt.

[@JuneLynn]

Simply beautiful....especially Linda's harmonies...no doubt about it, Paul is a musical genius...

[@kiersmith3698]

Paul is the greatest singer of song. It is the greatest pleasure hearing anything he does. It's very emotive. I particularly like his voice around Flowers in the dirt and Off the Ground albums, this song is a fine example of that.

[@stellaevans752]

What can I say! This man is a genius! What a song, so beautiful I feel privileged to have been around the same time as Sir Paul McCartney xxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Always amazing to hear more undiscovered gems from Paul maybe he could put an album of these super songs 😊

[@petebuckwheat7669]

Amazing song by amazing musician :)

[@brianherrington7226]

Just can't understand why Paul won't break his hidden gems out like this one and start performing them live. Blow some folks away. The arrangement on this is spot on.

[@ter521fad]

Yes, this would blow SOME folks away if Paul were to perform it in concert. All the other people who've never heard of it would be going on a beer or a bathroom run. Maybe they'd make it back to their seats before Paul plays another Beatles song.

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

Brian Herrington What’s good to you does not mean it’s good to Paul.

[@lynnecummings2882]

Beautiful, easy listening music, his voice so flowing, lovely back round from Lynda and the band, great, yes wish he would bring out an album of these gems.

[@badfingerking3533]

I've known this song well for the last 25 years, and if Paul played it live, I would use it as a chance to buy a beer or use the bathroom. it's pretty awful.

[@icanwaitanotherday]

This one is brilliant

[@tonybates7870]

A 10cc vibe going on in the background here and another brilliant creation effortlessly turned out by Paul, 80 years young today, as I write. I read that this was released as a B side to something - not even an album track. The greatest pop writer that ever lived.

[@adamfindlay7091]

ESTÁ E UMA DAS MÚSICAS MAIS LINDAS DO PAUL

[@fernandomarques3711]

Me encanta esta canción. Es puro onirismo lírico y desencanto amoroso. Me recuerda mucho a mi abuela que falleció al poco de publicarla Macca. Nostalgia pura.

[@emptyspotlight]

i was listening to off the ground 2 disc edition. and this song came up when i was on my from work... i was driving in the rain (puns not intended). this song just made the rain so beautiful. i get shivers just thinking about it.

[@ter521fad]

This is one of Paul's better deep cuts, in my opinion. Those 10cc-style backing vocals really take it to another place. Hard to imagine Paul McCartney being kicked around, though. Maybe he was writing it from some other person's point of view. Paul has been known to do that on occasion. Ha ha.

[@markgardner1020]

Heather Mills had a pretty good go at kicking him around. And she's only got one good leg!

[@RonnvanEtten]

Early seventies many kicked him around, blaming him for breaking up the Beatles instead of seeing/knowing he saved a lot actually. Beatiful song...

[@tracylynnedgar5788]

Mark Gardner 😆😆😆👏🏼👏🏼

[@sup9542]

Media, business managers, "fans" who decided Paul was the bad guy, critics who savaged a lot of his solo work (and now they all look back on it and say it was great.) And John, he couldn't help giving Paul the occasional kick throughout the 70's.

[@mchaggis622]

Losing his mother. Losing Linda. Despite his great heart and talent and what he means to all of us. It’s all a matter of perspective.

[@gabrielal1364]

Linda put a lot of effort! Since her little harmonies in McCartney to her contributions in Flaming Pie while she was sick, we can say Linda was an amazing part of Paul's music! Her voice give it an amazing touch of each track and it's impossible not be surprised about her improvements year by year. I really adore this song, I had never listened it and, at the moment when you think have listened all from Paul, you find these sweet treasures for the ears and the soul. A lot of thanks for upload it! That's a pity Paul didn't include these track in Off the ground and currently, it's very strange find it in one album remasterized of official streaming platform

[@kerawelt2008]

Underrated masterpiece !

[@TheCamdenham]

In my opinion the very personification of the value of Linda McCarney.....a fairly uncomplicated musical arragement with lyrics of no significant acclaim. But then the listener is treated to Linda's backing vocals..... lifting this from the medicore to the heavenly.....just listen to that warm feeling you as she surrounds you with a gentle and comforting sound as you are permitted to flow within the waves of a ocean current that allows you to finally get some peace. We love you Linda !!!!

Actually Yoko often sang softly.

[@justanotherrandomcrit8115]

No, anyone’s isolated backing vocal won’t sound bad, evident by most Wings-era Linda backing vocals. Problem is she had no monitor, so on Hey Jude she couldn’t hear what she was singing of course it would sound bad.

[@derekmyers3258]

I've heard enough to know that Linda can sing and sing well. Somebody could find my worst moment too. Negativity.

She was okay - I'm *okay* too. Lots of people are, but not everyone was married to Paul, that's all. Nothing wrong with being in your husband's band if you want to.

@@ktkee7161 I know... I do know Danny's history and association with punk. And I've never agreed with a lot of "great" songs Danny's gone on about. But again, we're all entitled to like and dislike what we want.

Y tu figura se me aparece cada vez que te pienso en cualquier parte, a cada momento Y los verdes campos se hacen rosados emborrachados de tus flores Porque no quiero ser herido nunca más (bis) ……. No quiero dolor solo amor por mas que me seduzca el beso en la tierna noche o la pasión me confunda con su sensualidad No deseo y no quiero el dolor una vez más (bis).

[@mrfester42]

For any other songwriter this would be a very good song but for Paul it's very nondescript and not very memorable. McCartney does so many things great but his greatest strength is his unmatched ability to write melodies that grab you, stay with you and are, for lack of a better word, simply delicious. I've been listening to him since seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964 and I can't think of a better word than delicious to describe his melodies. As good and as touching as this song is, it just doesn't have "it"!
