[@RastaSaiyaman]

@@you2449 Yup that was him, look up the live version in 1976 to see and hear him do so while singing. Here's some more songs you ought to check out to really hear what an awesome bass player he is: - Wings "Coming up" (Live 1979, way better than the studio version, he rocks that Yamaha Bass so hard.) - Elvis Costello "Veronica" - The Beatles "Hey Bulldog" - The Beatles "Hello goodbye" - The Beatles "Come together" - The Beatles "Free as a bird" (He uses a five string and hits us with that low B during the solo)

Paul talks about James Jamerson from motown being one of his primary influences on bass . That explains the R&B feel to this song.

This was written as a response to a criticism that all Paul wrote were silly love songs So he says "Some people want to fill the world with silly loves songs. What's wrong with that?"

This was Paul's response to people saying that all he wrote during this time were love songs and the edge and the risk taking that he showed with the Beatles was long gone. The lyrics clearly show was he was trying to say, " But I look around me and. I see it isn't so, what's wrong with that, here I go again" and the chorus of just " I Love You" over and over again is as simple as it gets and what a love song is all about. A direct jab at his critics and an absolutely brilliant response to those who said he had lost his touch and no one wanted to hear anymore love songs from him.

[@sjd5750]

Love the Bass line in this song...McCartney was/is a great Bass player...Great all around musician, really, but Bass is his main instrument.

This song will forever remind me of the long drive back to Texas to live. I was 14 and it was the bicentennial year 1976. Heard it many times on that trip. I feel the world needs to bring love songs back, that may be what we need. Couldn't hurt...

Nice review. One of my most dearest memories revolves around this song. I was a teenager (many, many years ago) and was working at a fast food joint. After we closed for the night and were cleaning up this song came on the radio (I always took my boombox to work to make the time pass). I started singing the Paul McCartney part (this was before the court order baring me from ever singing again ;) ) and a girl working there who was one of my best friends all of a sudden picked up the Linda McCartney lines. It was one of the most pure and emotional times of my life. Even now 30+ years later I remember the feeling and my eyes mist up. Thank you for reminding me of those good time.

I feel the same about the chorus of this song. I know my dad must have played it a lot when I was 1-3 years old and then I must have forgotten about it for 10 years so that when I heard it again at 12 or 13, I felt this weirdly intense feeling of recovering something lost, and when I realized it was Paul McCartney of the Beatles, that's when I got interested in listening to more of his 70s music.

Because of "Silly Love Songs" and George Harrison's release of "Crackerbox Palace" the same year, I became a fan of the Beatles and their solo efforts. In the 43 years since, I have embraced everything they created. "Eleanor Rigby" is, in my opinion, a masterpiece, as is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." So many of their songs are outstanding.

Animal Hospital days which started for me in 1972 when I was fifteen. It was a great date song.

Paul wrote a few really cheesy pop songs, this isn't one of them. This was in response to John Lennon commenting that Paul wrote too many silly love songs. But this track has some really great things going for it. Great bass line, it's dance-able, nice use of horns and strings, and an awesome vocal fugue at the end. The lyrics are decent, and the song is great as a whole. This also was a really great album, and the first one I ever bought with my own money in a record store.

Paul was so devoted to Linda that he put her in the band... even though she was not very musically talented... they figured it out :) When she unfortunately passed from cancer, he was "rudderless" and fell prey to "Heather Mills" - who bore a passing resemblance to his former wife.. and was also a "photographer/journalist" -- he apparently was a "marrying man" -

However, if one has a chance to listen to songs like "Helter Skelter", "Oh Woman, Oh Why", "Let Me Roll It", "Monkberry Moon Delight", & "On the Way" (to name just a few), I think one might agree that Paul also has shown the talent to venture into other genres such as hard rock and rhythm & blues, as none of these songs can be considered "pop", none of these songs were Billboard hits, and only one was a minor hit.

I don't know who Modern Renaissance Man is, but it was fun watching him hear this song for the first time, especially considering that he's unfamiliar with McCartney and even the Beatles. This song is often dismissed as one of Paul's cheesier efforts, but it's actually lyrically clever and beautifully done. Beginning so simply, with nothing but piano, drums, and a very prominent bassline, and building to include that amazing horn section, those string lines, and the vocal countermelodies. It's an underrated masterpiece, and this was a great video. I almost felt like I was hearing it for the first time, too. Thanks so much for this.
