I wish that Sir Paul would play this song in his concert's.

[@andrasdr.lipovits8720]

He played it, many times.

[@rockmonroe1754]

This song should have gone higher than #25 on the charts. Should have been a top 5 hit.

[@adayinthelife5772]

Its a shame Countdown made everyone mime

[@tyau424]

fusion of sadness and a melodic rock song. only Paul would do it. and that is how you define greatness.

[@ledflaplin2001]

Well Elvis Costello wrote it with Paul as well. He deserves some credit also.

[@stephensykes8055]

Co written by Elvis Costello

[@sharigreen9252]

He sang this on his 1989-1990 tour. Flowers In the Dirt was the LP he was promoting. Saw this show and it was the first time he sang many Beatles songs. The Tripping the Live Fantastic album is this tour. I highly recommend it.

[@andyfielding56]

Load of bollocks. The soundtrack doesn't match the video. Great soundtrack, great video but they didn't happen at the same time.

[@bobdiepold2122]

Always loved this song and it was great when he sang it live in 1989 tour.

[@justindiflaminies7759]

Such a great song...to bad he’s lip singing it...nice job Bill.

[@CattyTatty]

It was never "Live" back in the 80's

[@mirkoamicizia4258]

Bill? Who's bill? Oh you mean billy shears? Paul replacement? Yeah, I guess "bil" did a good job. Fuck off with that nonsense, I'm not gonna list all the reasons why replacing Paul would've been impossible, cause that would take me an insane amount of time and I really don't have time nor the energy deal with you. Here's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna ask you to leave and stop spreading false rumors about Paul. The paul is Dead rumor was debunked by the same guy who started it years ago, give it up mate. Paul is still alive, get over it.

[@lanlansaria]

@@mirkoamicizia4258 true. And also imagine how much money the agency will spend just to shut up all the mouth of his friends and family hahaha

[@wanderer1955]

He looks much better with long hair 👍

[@lcs4237]

Musica gostosinha de ouvir pra viajar... 🍃 Paul é um grande cantor! 👏🏼

[@williamsousa951]

Com o vento batendo no rosto, num dia ensolarado, numa estrada tranquila a beira mar 😍😍

[@williamvanbiene748]

Sir Paul, really the greatest

[@DECODECODECO2007]

NO PODES SER TAAAAN GENIO, no sos humano Paul . GRACIAS

[@charliebadger]

Pity it wasn't live.

[@robinevans3440]

God bless you Linda

[@josephlennonmccartney245]

[@eltorpedo67]

Lip-synced. :(

[@josrmarefo57]

[@小林聡-v1d]

Paulらしいな😂声のチカラ強さは彼の体格が良くなった分増したよう。相変わらず若若😮

[@FedericoMcCartney]

[@teib757]

Everyone did playback on countdown

[@josrmarefo57]

congratulation my friend paul MC..the best music...you only the beatles...ded ringo..and john...harryson....joseph from paraguay...

[@ronmoore2583]

I have always thought - being an "avid " beatles fan that was some kind of reference to paul trying to be brave about john " dying and quite rightly so but then you get the beautiful " if you were here today" unbeatable tribute xxxx

[@rman52]

Sounds more like a lost lover song but who knows. I was lucky to hear this and figure of eight live in NJ around the time it came out. Two of his best post fab songs IMHO.

[@joaodalmeida7240]

Awesone excellent good job guys do you get It?😅

[@MaureenDeVries-wd9mh]

Fantastic song 😂

[@josrmarefo57]

[@gordonashley4401]

Belafina gi fet jurtyui fan lagaso

[@edrogers7112]

Mary go see Paul

[@marcoantoniocarvalho3755]

Esta música

[@junegubatan8429]

Nice song

[@johnmaer]

The principal lead track on the recording had an electric 12-string, not an acoustic 12-string. Another way you know this was lip-synched. A more energetic bass line as well....absent here even in mime.

[@sillydillydokieo]

Every time this song comes on at work I want to intentionally overdose and die on the pharmacy floor.
