Awesome song - he wrote it for Linda, his wife, to thank her for getting him through the split with the Beatles. He loved her, she was his constant, and she gave him reason to be happy.
I'm always impressed that Paul was / is one of the biggest music stars in history but managed to keep a strong marriage and raise 4 good kids. Not a lot of rock'n rollers who can say that. RIP Linda.
@@adwood201 watch Get Back on Disney+. You will then realize you’re wrong, and yoko did not break up the Beatles. Everyone has been wanting someone to blame for years instead of accepting that 4 boys grew to men and were ready to move on.
Pure, mature love. That’s what this is about. Not the ‘nothing is wrong, we’re perfect’ of puppy love, but looking squarely into the eyes of the person who is looking just as honestly back, love not blind to weaknesses but there to help you grow past them and loving you along the way.
This song obviously was written about his wife Linda. When the Beatles broke up and Paul formed the band Wings, he helped Linda learn how to play the keyboards for them. It seems that she was his anchor and the perfect compliment that helped him transition into the next phase of his life and career. He started off saying Maybe, but that became Baby, I''m Amazed. Thanking her for her support and being there for him.
McCartney wrote all the songs on this album, his first solo venture after the Beatles broke up. He played every instrument (separately) and edited the tape together. He was a one-man Band. Talk about talent. This song is so Beautiful. It's one of my favorites.
The record basically announced that the Beatles were broken up thanks to a Q and A with Paul that was included in the record. John was livid because he wanted to announce the breakup when he did his solo record months before. But Paul convinced him to hold off until after Let It Be was released.
@@John_Locke_108 How on earth with all the information available now do people still believe this?! Allen Klein told John to keep his mouth shut in order sure up new deals and steal money.
Paul Mccartney is THE living legend. Everything he does is simply amazing. People try to trash him or the Beatles, but no one will ever beat what they've done.
Paul was super depressed at the breakup of the Beatles. He’d tried so hard to keep the band together, and it was the only job he’d ever had. And he was unfairly blamed for the breakup for a long time. Linda, his wife, helped lift him from his depression and convince him he could still have a career after the Beatles. He went on to huge success with his next band, Wings, plus a successful solo career, and became the most successful songwriter in history, in the Guinness book of world records.
Paul, IMHO, is the greatest songwriter of all time. The guy has written more hit songs than anyone that I know of. Not to mention he's an incredible singer and can play like 40 or 50 instruments.
I think this album was done at a time when Paul was happy in his life. Living in the countryside with his family. Sadly his wife Linda passed away from breast cancer which is the same cancer that his mother died from. It’s such a beautiful song.
Quite possibly the biggest musical genius since Mozart. He plays every instrument and has never stopped writing new songs and performing. He’s mind blowing.
Paul was labeled to be the melodic Beatle, yet while he's indeed responsible for the majority of the band's romantic ballads he also crafted some of their heaviest, hardest rocking songs. In a band filled with versatile musicians, maybe it's amazing that Paul was the most versatile of the four.
McCartney played lead guitar on several Beatles songs. On Taxman, George couldn't come up with a good solo, so that is all Paul on lead. Also, most of the guitar work on the song 'Sgt Pepper' is all Paul.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 I'd say it's debatable. I'm a big fan of John as well. I think what we can say for sure is that John was more often than Paul on a rocker mode.
I've loved Paul since I sat on the floor to watch him on Ed Sullivan in 1964 show with the Beatles, when I was 11 years old. This song & photos are special because it was about his wife Linda & the pics of her & his daughter Stella is special. The man is still performing at 80 years old. His carpool Karaoke with James Cordon a couple years ago was FANTASTIC. All four of those guys were talented in their own right.
Right on, Brad. That's the sound of a man publicly going deeper than we're comfortable. And good on you for the "maybe" observation. I never caught that. Brilliant.
We should all feel so lucky and blessed to have lived in the time of Paul McCartney. What a genius songwriter he is and the masterpieces he's created are so timeless they possess the beauty of a DaVinci painting or a Mozart concerto. They will live on long after McCartney has left this world. Thank you, Paul!!!!
Appreciate your breakdown of the song and totally agree, he's expressing his vulnerability. Parenting can leave you feeling vulnerable too, that might have been part of it, even tho he's singing to her. Also - LOVE the family pictures in the video, nice touch!
“If I could sing like Paul McCartney, or get funky like Etta James I'd never change, I'd never change, I'd never change silver heeled ways.” (Fleetwood Mac) I’m with them.
One of the best love songs ever written and the video is a perfect compliment to it. One of Paul's most amazing tunes, and that's saying something, as he had way to many to count(with & without the Beatles).
Brad you nailed it. I have listened to that song for 30 years and never put it together. He's saying all of these personal feelings, but preficing each line with Maybe. When you hear these songs at a young age you don't have the maturity to understand the lyrics. So you just sing along without thinking about for years. Then, at 48 yrs. old, you hear it again for the first time through these reaction videos. What you guys do actually means more, to people like me, than you may realize. These song aren't just songs, there reminders of significant memories of our own lives. Good and Bad.
Paul plays all the instruments on this song. Recorded at his home in Scotland. His wife sings background vocals. The live version is beyond description.
The absolute top of the food chain in the music world. No one will ever match his talent.,his vision , his emotion and pure talent of expression! Listening to him since 1963......
If you wanna hear some really good Paul McCartney singing, check out “ you never give me your money” by The Beatles. Paul sings in like three different styles on that song. His range is insane.
I was fortunate enough to get to see Paul in Knoxville, TN on his US tour this year. Almost three full hours of nothing but hit after hit after hit after hit. It was the best night of my life ❤️
My friend - later the sax player for our first band - and a bit of a McCartney lookalike, and I listened to this and 'Ram' together when he got them. We were knocked out. Great songs and performances.
Sixty years old and six decades of music I've enjoyed. While so many songs have touched me in so many different ways over the years, only Paul (and/or the Beatles as a group) get the hair on my neck to stand up every time, still to this day, when I hear their music. I don't know why..."Maybe I'm Amazed" at the genius of the music, the simplicity of the melodies as the words massage the ears? I don't know...just "Maybe" there doesn't need to be any explanation.
After the Beatles, Paul was able to really show his musical range and chops. Linda was his true life partner. She helped him behind the scenes but was his professional writing partner and band member when he formed Wings along with being his wife and baby mama. RIP Linda!
This is from Paul's first solo album right after the Beatles' break-up. A live version quickly replaced this version as a hit and that is the version usually heard on the radio. They are pretty similar and each one has its strengths. It came at a time when Beatles fans were wondering what was going to be next for them as individual artists. Pretty quickly they all had their hits and successes.
A stunningly brillant song and my favourite Paul McCartney song. Great guitar solos from McCartney and a great vocal performance too - very soulful. I also think that this is Brad's best reaction and take on a song.
This studio version is from one of his earlier albums but the definitive version is from the live album called Wings Over America and became a top 10 hit in the USA!
The legend that is Paul McCartney. A musical genius and still rocking stadiums at 80 years old. From 1963 until 1987 he had at least one number one hit every year. Unbelievable talent.
After watching the Get Back film I then watched the 3 episodes of McCartney 3,2,1 which are McCartney and producer Rick Rubin playing Beatles songs back on a mixing desk. I highly recommend watching it. I've been a fan of the Beatles since I was a toddler. Superfan in fact. But these recent programmes have really hit home for me just how impressive Paul McCartney is. He has just lived music. He's so full of energy, enthusiasm and positivity in his 80th year, it's highly infectious. And what a voice, so incredibly versatile too.
Brad made me laugh. I’ve been listening to this song for decades and never really thought about the “maybe” part of it. Like: I REALLY love you -- maybe.
This was a very emotional time for Paul. The Beatles had just broken up and the three guys he’d grown up with and who were like brothers to him were now on the other side of an acrimonious and very nasty legal battle. Paul had escaped to his farm in Scotland in Kintyre with his new partner, Linda and her daughter Heather. He didn’t really know what the future held for him as a musician and personally, but Linda was his anchor and this song really expresses how he felt about her. They remained married and were inseparable until she sadly died of cancer in 1998.
Paul put right out into the world just how deeply and completely he loved Linda. And when he did this, we all finally understood John's "Yoko thing" -- and that Paul did too.
I agree. I tend to always prefer the studio version, but this song, Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me” and the Frampton Comes Alive hits need to be the live versions
Paul and Linda were such a beautiful, and ultimately tragic, love story. IMO, he wrote many of his best songs about her including this one. One of my favorite songs.
One of Paul's very best!! Have you two listened yet to his song, Yesterday? An early Beatles' song, it became the most covered song in music history. So unbelievably beautiful. Here's the link to the live video of Paul introducing that masterpiece to the world in 1965. ruclips.net/video/wXTJBr9tt8Q/видео.html Watch it and enjoy!! And see another reason why and how The Beatles earned their status as the one & only GOAT!!!!!
It's not impossible this is his best song ever. And I'm old enough to have heard it when it was released (I was a young teen) and weird this is still true now. Great reaction from both of you
This was off his first solo Album McCartney, the first of 3 that he plays all the instruments on in the recording process. This was released within a year of the Beatles split in April of 1970
Paul actually wrote this song while The Beatles were still together, but only recorded it after their breakup for his first solo album. He plays all of the instruments on this track. My favorite song by him. It has a nice single-note descending chord pattern. Great insights by Brad!
Brad, lol, yeah. This is one of my favorite Paul McCartney solo career songs although he really has so many. But as far as not having heard him sing like that, I promise you he sang like that many times in various Beatles songs. I wish you could do a lot more Beatles because they were just so all over the map and went through so many changes in the short time that they were together but I do know they have a high likelihood of getting blocked. Although I've seen at least one or maybe two react channels where they do Beatles stuff all the time and never get blocked, so I don't understand it. A couple Beatles songs to check out or Paul sings pretty intensely are of course the infamous going off section at the end of Hey Jude, but also Helter Skelter, often thought of as the very first heavy metal song. And lots of others. And while his voice isn't quite ratted out that much on this early stuff, one of my very favorite early Beatles songs has Paul singing lead and it's called Long Tall Sally, a cover of a little Richard song Home Paul McCartney idolized. And I tell you what man he sings the hell out of that thing. When they were really becoming the incredible band that they turned out to be in Hamburg Germany before briefly going back to Liverpool and then coming to America and taking the world by storm, they lived above this club that was very popular in Hamburg and they were the house band there but whenever they played Long Tall sally, the crowd would just go nuts and throw things and throw bar stools and punch each other and throw beer all over everybody and break things. So the manager tried to write it into their contract that they couldn't play it but the audience always screamed for it anyway and so they always inevitably ended up playing it, often as the last song and people would go nuts, every time. And I see why. He's young but his voice on this is freaking amazing. Here it is: m.ruclips.net/video/w-iA9-D_Mbw/видео.html
I remember one day I was having a bad day at work and I went on my break .. so on the way back to work I heard someone playing this song and it made me feel better .. realized that my day was gonna get better after that .. ❤️
He loved the solo so much he played it twice. All 3 “McCartney” albums are just Paul by himself playing every instrument, singing all the harmonies, and producing. Even with all the praises he rightfully receives he’s still totally underrated as a musician.
This was a huge hit on the radio, early 70s. P McC, and also Wings, hit big on the radio all through the 70s, and into the 80s..."Listen To What the Man Said" "Venus And Mars/Rock Show" "Band On the Run" "Silly Love Songs" "Another Day" "Live And Let Die" "Let 'Em In" "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" "Ebony And Ivory"(with Stevie Wonder) "Jet" "No More Lonely Nights"(long version with David Gilmour shredding the guitar!) "Goodnight Tonight" "Let Me Roll It" "Arrow Through Me" "Take It Away" "With a Little Luck" "1985" (more)
You should also check out Paul's song, "My Love" which is also about Linda. And for another example of Paul singing like that, check out the end of "Hey Jude" among others.
If We Are Lucky,, Once In Our Lifetime We Can Meet Our True Soul Mate & Love Of Our Life,, Linda Was Paul's..R.I.P. Linda..Thanks For ALL You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.🙏❤
he not only wrote and sang this masterpiece, he also plays ALL the instruments - guitar, bass piano, organ, and drums
I never knew that, that's awesome 👌
The entire album is all Paul
You expressed my comment word for word! Brilliant minds think alike!☮️❤️
@@wolfpack9958 True. I think McCartney II is all him also.

This is by far one of the best love songs to ever be written.

To be fair, he even admitted that some of it was his fault, but John had a similar breakdown at the time and you can hear it in his stuff too.
@@josephtingley654 I only ever heard Paul say it was John's fault. What blame did he personally accept for the band's break-up?

@@steveofdeon1322 Yeah, they were fairly well known from what I've heard.

@@TheGuitarMan71 Take 1 on the Rooftop. ruclips.net/video/3sgCrFiI_Gk/видео.html At 1:26 he is singing so hard that it looks like he might pass out.
Paul is one of a kind. None will come like him again. He is the melody man who created nearly one thousand songs and he has such a wide register
There's an authenticity about this that makes it more relatable, which is also what I like about you two.
Linda McCartney - a beautiful woman inside and out. RIP.
Look at Brad feeling it and throwing in some wisdom. Your reactions have evolved so much, as have you two. Maybe I'm amazed at the power of music. ✌️
Fun fact: Paul played all of the instruments on this song… guitars, bass, piano, organ and drums.
Wow! I’m a Beatles aficionado, but wasn’t aware of that fact. Thanks! ☺️
Fun Fact. He played all the instruments on this album
@@LeahIsHereNow he did the same with the McCartney 2 and McCartney 3 albums.
and all the harmonies
He recorded this as the Beatles were breaking up, he had a new wife, and his daughter was about to be born.

Saw him perform this song in concert last month. 79 years old. Still sounded great!!!
One of my favorite songs by my favorite singer/songwriter. Written and recorded all by himself, during and after the painful divorce of the Beatles
I always get choked up with this song. I cried like a baby when he did this live at the show I saw recently. Amazing!!
Awesome vocalist.... McCartney could shred, screech, shout, sing sweat and whisper all in the same song - unbelievable
Great review. Brad's insight at the end is great! And funny.
Excellent response from Brad regarding “maybe”. Brilliant. Really, maybe. Truly.
Right on, Brad. That's the sound of a man publicly going deeper than we're comfortable. And good on you for the "maybe" observation. I never caught that. Brilliant.

Although I've seen at least one or maybe two react channels where they do Beatles stuff all the time and never get blocked, so I don't understand it. A couple Beatles songs to check out or Paul sings pretty intensely are of course the infamous going off section at the end of Hey Jude, but also Helter Skelter, often thought of as the very first heavy metal song. And lots of others. And while his voice isn't quite ratted out that much on this early stuff, one of my very favorite early Beatles songs has Paul singing lead and it's called Long Tall Sally, a cover of a little Richard song Home Paul McCartney idolized. And I tell you what man he sings the hell out of that thing. When they were really becoming the incredible band that they turned out to be in Hamburg Germany before briefly going back to Liverpool and then coming to America and taking the world by storm, they lived above this club that was very popular in Hamburg and they were the house band there but whenever they played Long Tall sally, the crowd would just go nuts and throw things and throw bar stools and punch each other and throw beer all over everybody and break things. So the manager tried to write it into their contract that they couldn't play it but the audience always screamed for it anyway and so they always inevitably ended up playing it, often as the last song and people would go nuts, every time. And I see why. He's young but his voice on this is freaking amazing. Here it is:

Banging on the keys with real intensity too!
Genius- Pure brilliance -and a really kind man
Guys you need to listen to the live version of this song. It's a masterpiece. Much more emotional.
I remember one day I was having a bad day at work and I went on my break .. so on the way back to work I heard someone playing this song and it made me feel better .. realized that my day was gonna get better after that .. ❤️
I was raised in the 70’s and the music was amazing… I was amazed
A beautiful magnificent song that shows him as a consummate artist in his own right.
He loved the solo so much he played it twice. All 3 “McCartney” albums are just Paul by himself playing every instrument, singing all the harmonies, and producing. Even with all the praises he rightfully receives he’s still totally underrated as a musician.
This was a huge hit on the radio, early 70s. P McC, and also Wings, hit big on the radio all through the 70s, and into the 80s..."Listen To What the Man Said" "Venus And Mars/Rock Show" "Band On the Run" "Silly Love Songs" "Another Day" "Live And Let Die" "Let 'Em In" "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" "Ebony And Ivory"(with Stevie Wonder) "Jet" "No More Lonely Nights"(long version with David Gilmour shredding the guitar!) "Goodnight Tonight" "Let Me Roll It" "Arrow Through Me" "Take It Away" "With a Little Luck" "1985" (more)
You two will really love his " Listen to what the Man Said" I love all your reactions. ✌️
You should also check out Paul's song, "My Love" which is also about Linda. And for another example of Paul singing like that, check out the end of "Hey Jude" among others.
If We Are Lucky,, Once In Our Lifetime We Can Meet Our True Soul Mate & Love Of Our Life,, Linda Was Paul's..R.I.P. Linda..Thanks For ALL You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.🙏❤
This song was from when Paul was with Wings and his late wife, Linda playing in to the band as well on keyboards.
Brad gets the emotions in the lyrics. Good.
I love this song. I also love that they shared those intimate and adorable family photos. Paul's wife Linda was a photographer and musician.
Got to play the LIVE VERSION.
This by far is Brad's BEST REACTION! Animated and 😎 BRAVO!👍👏👏👏👏
“ Maybe I’m amazed of the way I love you “ 🔥
Welcome to Sir Paul. I loved his stuff with wings but him and the Beatles changed the world.
