Paul is not exactly the most gifted guitar player but he has a penchant for songwriting ; especially tunes with strong melodic hooks . The resourceful use of his abilities and his creativity allow him to be one of the greatest songwriters in music history . Peace and good health to you … Miles from Canada .
Paul is like the teacher you never had, where you wouldn't mind getting homework. When Paul speaks, everyone hangs on to every word, that is what you call a legend.
This is easily one of Sir Paul's best--& I believe this includes his Beatles work. The song is simply amazing, both musically and lyrically. What a gem.
Can't help but notice that all these years later, Paul is still playing the Right-handed guitar that he bought in New York in 1964 to do "Yesterday" on the Ed Sullivan show. They still had to watch their money pretty closely, so a custom hand-made instrument was out of reach. Instead, Paul spent several hours at a music store playing every acoustic guitar they had, and this particular one by fluke had the amazing sound we still hear. This also explains why it is a right-handed guitar he plays upside down, only switching the strings. You still see the pick-guard on the wrong side.
I could have bought the album "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" almost only for this song. Blackbird was already one of my favorite... now I can tell why "Jenny Wren" touched me so much musically...
Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing But a broken heart took her soul away Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing She could see the world and its foolish ways How we spend our days casting love aside Losing sight of life day by day She saw poverty breaking up her home Wounded warriors took her song away But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing When this broken world mends its foolish ways Then we'll spend our days catching up on life All because of you, Jenny Wren You saw who we are, Jenny Wren
A big surprise, although his voice is obviously failing, he still has that amazing bell tone in the upper register. For most of us, it's the high notes that go first. Further evidence that Sir Paul is not quite of this world, but graces us with his music.
Tis not often, PickerDad, that one can sum up Paul McCartney in 3 sentences. What you wrote was brilliant; accurate; and all the way thumbs uip to a total summary of Paul ever since the early 60's whn they were pre-fab...toi fame...to present day,. I tip my hat to you; Paul is genius, just as John was. No doubt. Don't even get me started on the tremendous merits of George, how he too, grew into his own immense gifts of songs and music. Thank you, my brother----Jenny Wren REALLY put a lot more distance to the art of songwriting and singing that could be imagined...and that was some 11 yrs ago! And he is still cooking in the garden, in his backyard, of chaos and creativity!
How lucky are those spectators to be able to sit, watch, and enjoy an intimate performance by Paul McCartney - just the man with his acoustic guitar? It doesn’t get any better than this, in my opinion. Wow, how lucky are they!
Prior to the realease of Paul's album, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard in 2008, I have always felt that Mull of McTyre, what with the Scottish Bagpipes, was the most beautiful song he ever wrote. But then again, there was also Waterfalls from McCartney II. From the first time I heard Jenny Wren, to me, its absolutely the MOST beautiful McCarney composition of them all! By the way, if you have never heard the entire Chaos and Creation in the Backyard,.,,which has Jenny Wren on it---buy it and check it out! A great record! Songs like Waiting for Your Friends to Go (inspired by George Harrison; Paul said, ":A George type song", and many other gems on it, is magnificent! Paul IS musical genius!
This one is so beautiful it's even hard to express with words, and the duduk solo is heavenly. Unfortunately, I think this is the last of Paul's signature stirring songs as of today, coz his latest album didn't give us anything as beautiful as this one...
beautiful song and such a great follow on from Blackbird. Makes me weep every time I hear it for my late mother who was a Wren in WW2. I reckon this album with poss exception of BOTR was his best post Beatles album. Either way, deeply moving.
Beautiful,,,I want macca to come up with some more like that,,,.not easy,,,but I'm sure he could do it ....he does it so well.... and yeah,,,I think it would easily be on the white album....
Lyrics❤️ Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing But a broken heart, took her soul away Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing She could see the world, and it's foolish ways How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside Loosing, site of life, day, by, day She saw poverty, breaking all the home Wounded warriors, took her song away But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing When this broken world, mends its foolish ways Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life All because of you, Jenny Wren
I gave this song to my girl. Her name is Jenny. Yes, if you look at it, it can be translated to random ways and moments in all ones life. With this song I have seen each moment all the way through remembering stories she'd tell me in ernest. What it comes down to, is that she has had a beautiful heart all along the way of her life's hardship. And now, once again with her, as she realized who we are together, her weary walls have fallen away and we are catching up on the life with the love she always knew existed. Her song is beautiful.
How awesome it would be to listen to Paul like he thought of you as a studying musician yourself. I know some people weren’t following his story so much as today’s information overload and 5sec candy sound bites needed for the next fix we’ve succumb to. God save the children from mediocrity and blinding commercialism.
One of my favourite McCartney pieces. He seems to paint very specific elements of my life. It’s also as if he wrote it for some point in the not to distant future.... Like, now. Just, stunning.
I love the mistake he makes at the start of the second time round. He just plays it off beautifully and cracks on. Proves he's human like the rest of us. Many a time I'd drop a drum stick or break a skin at a gig and would just have to wing it whilst I recover. Awesome moment!
Picking through the harmony governd by a song Black bird went a wandering Fluttering but strong The walrus once had had it's fill on the mystic road After went the the magpie feasting on it's load
Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing 다른 많은 여자애들 처럼..Jenny Wren 도 노래를 부를 수 있지만.. But a broken heart, took her song away 상처받은 마음이 그녀에게서 노래를 앗아가 버렸지.. Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing 다른 많은 여재애들 처럼..Jenny Wren도 날개를 가졌고.. She could see the world, and its foolish ways 그녀는 세상을 볼 수 있었지만..그건 어리석은 짓이었어.. How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside 어떻게 우리는 사랑을 내팽게치고 하루하루를 보냈을까? Losing, sight of life, day, by, day 하루 하루..삶의 밫을 잃어가면서... She saw poverty, breaking up her home 그녀는 그녀의 자정이 깨어지는 빈곤을 보았지.. Wounded warriors, took her song away 상처받은 병사들은 그녀에게서 노래를 앗아가 버렸어.. But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing 하지만 내일이 발으면..Jenny Wren 도 노랠 부를거야 When this broken world, mends its foolish ways 이 깨어져버린 세상이 어리석은 방식을 바꿀때 말야.. Then we, spend our days, catching up on life 그대쯤이면..우리는 삶을 쫓아 시간을 보낼거야.. All be-cause of you, Jenny Wren 이건 다 네 덕분이지..Jenny Wren You saw who we are, Jenny Wren 너는 우리가 누군지 알지..Jenny Wren
This is one of my favorite McCartney solo songs. It would fit right in on Rubber Soul.
It has more a White Album sound actually.
Derek Martz more like the white album
@@Diego_Aracena_Kovacevic more like an anthology sound for me.
Diego Aracena Kovacevic Agreed, as they learned finger picking in India two years after Rubber Soul. :) Blackbird-ish and Mother Nature’s Son-esque.
Derek Martz never actually heard of this song... really cool to hear it now.
Takes his youthful misreading of Bach, turns it into his own personal late period masterpiece. Ladies and Gentlemen, Paul McCartney!
Paul is not exactly the most gifted guitar player but he has a penchant for songwriting ;
especially tunes with strong melodic hooks . The resourceful use of his abilities
and his creativity allow him to be one of the greatest songwriters in music history .
Peace and good health to you … Miles from Canada .

He could reinvent!
Love from Africa
Paul is like the teacher you never had, where you wouldn't mind getting homework. When Paul speaks, everyone hangs on to every word, that is what you call a legend.
Interestingly, I remember reading somewhere that if Paul didn’t become a musician, he probably would’ve actually become a teacher !
My music teacher
He really is a genius of our times.
most definitely
I would say he really is THE genius of our times.
Greatest composer of the 20th century
In the original recording Paul used an Armenian Duduk for the 'duu duu' part, and it sends goosebumps down my body. What a master of sounds.
This is easily one of Sir Paul's best--& I believe this includes his Beatles work. The song is simply amazing, both musically and lyrically. What a gem.
agreed
Just beautiful....
Can’t go along with you on that but it is your opinion and that’s cool
A throwaway
@@stephenspringer2203 Oh be quiet, John.

This also explains why it is a right-handed guitar he plays upside down, only switching the strings. You still see the pick-guard on the wrong side.
he also keeps it tuned down a half step to help him sing.
Where'd he bought it?
Dexter Rutecki ya he always uses this one in concert to play yesterday.
Dexter Rutecki whole step actually.
It was actually in August, 1965 that Paul sang Yesterday on Ed Sullivan, not 1964. ;)
Paul is an absolute treasure of this world, the impact he had (ad still has) will forever live on.
A beautiful song. He was gifted then and still is. His song writing skills and guitar playing has not waned.
A genuine solid gold genius. Try to imagine where music would be without him. I'm 74 and still get gooseflesh and a tight throat when Paul sings
Makes me cry to know that there's as much beauty in the world as this song. Thank you Sir Paul.
Musically speaking, Paul is not human!! He is Divine!!
Yes to sir paul the great....
I could have bought the album "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" almost only for this song. Blackbird was already one of my favorite... now I can tell why "Jenny Wren" touched me so much musically...
Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart took her soul away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world and its foolish ways How we spend our days casting love aside
Losing sight of life day by day
She saw poverty breaking up her home
Wounded warriors took her song away But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world mends its foolish ways Then we'll spend our days catching up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
You saw who we are, Jenny Wren
my dad's favourite paul solo song. he put it in the car for me when i was a kid.
now relistening to it makes me cry
oh and btw he's still alive, i just love him a lot
That's a great story!
@@billiegaetano27nice second comment lmao
@@Marcosss-7-years-ago hahahah ty :) it's the truth though
OMG!!!!!! This song is so beautiful! I sometimes play it on a loop for hours and don't get tired of it.
A big surprise, although his voice is obviously failing, he still has that amazing bell tone in the upper register. For most of us, it's the high notes that go first. Further evidence that Sir Paul is not quite of this world, but graces us with his music.
His gifts are from God...what a gift to us all.
Hello! 😊 I just released a cover of this song, go see it if you want!

It's exquisite. There is NO end to his creativity.
his vocal pitch is still seemingly effortless and so pure, gorgeous pitch just falls out of his mouth.
There's a canal boat on Regent's Canal in London with the name Jenny Wren. Saw it at Camden Lock.
How lucky are those spectators to be able to sit, watch, and enjoy an intimate performance by Paul McCartney - just the man with his acoustic guitar? It doesn’t get any better than this, in my opinion.
Wow, how lucky are they!
we've never deserved how lovely paul is, but this, is just too much for us to have. tears
Love that it's also a Dickens story
A very true Dickens story.
@jennywren8937 Awe you are Jenny Wren!!
Wow , those are some lucky people.
this is amazing .
What a gift to the world....
WHAT A GENIUS!💯♥️

I agree well said.
He's got kinda dead eyes these days...This song is chilling and beautiful.
Early Days. Listen to Early Days.
i personally like my Valentine though.
Queenie Eye.
Beautiful song. This sounds like it could’ve been on the McCartney album, it has that feel.
My favorite Paul's song
Me atrevo a decir su mejor obra del siglo 21
Such a strange and unusual song, the more you listen to it, the more it makes sense, and the more you like it :)
A lovely genius... ❤
The sound is very important....thanks for the guitar story Picker Dad.
beautiful song and such a great follow on from Blackbird. Makes me weep every time I hear it for my late mother who was a Wren in WW2. I reckon this album with poss exception of BOTR was his best post Beatles album. Either way, deeply moving.
Paul you never cease to amaze me as usual this is beautiful
Just love it...makes me cry every time. PAUL a true poet and musician of my time
Beautiful,,,I want macca to come up with some more like that,,,.not easy,,,but I'm sure he could do it ....he does it so well.... and yeah,,,I think it would easily be on the white album....
I really like this guitar (Epiphone FT-79 texan)
Epiphone most solid, underrated guitars ever imo
Goosebumps instantly even after months of knowing the song.
This song would have gone top 10 in 1960's. It should go number one in any era.
Love this beautiful song...well done Sir Paul...
Really great song, his effortless switching between major and minor - great melody, I love it!
tears... Thanks.
Beautiful song by one of the greatest :)
Amo está canción es mi favorita de Paul es preciosa😚😚😚😚😚
Up their with his very best compositions, Great song Paul 😉
Like so many Beatles, Paulie boy can sing.
Blackbird Part Two🌹
Masterpiece. Thank you for your talent Sir Paul
Lyrics❤️
Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing
But a broken heart, took her soul away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world, and it's foolish ways
How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside
Loosing, site of life, day, by, day
She saw poverty, breaking all the home
Wounded warriors, took her song away
But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing
When this broken world, mends its foolish ways
Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
Great job girl
@ idk. Nice lyrics. How true. Thanks.
I like this music of Paul McCartney is very beatifuly with solo
Love Paul so much. His music has enriched my life so much. Thank you Paul ❤
Красавчик Пол! Волшебная мелодия!
Paul McCartney is The best songwriter ever for me!!! By The way, I did an acapella cover of this song, it's on Lex Lecoq/ Jenny Wren!!!
I am and was amazed at how well this song fits my life experience and temperament, like a glove. Paul, thank you.
This is when you definitely realize that there never existed a Faul McCartney.
I rally love this song. thank you!
A sense of harmony to which I fear we can only aspire.
beatiful
I think its in a league with his best!
That's a lot underrated
Супер моя любимая песня

hermosa ...sublime muy nostálgica...Jenny hermosa
Had this been a Beatles track in an alternative universe, it would be considered a classic.
His picking pattern's is really something else.
Спасибо,друг.
12/5/21 SO MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!
Bu adam gibisi gelmeyecek ya ona üzülüyorum 😣

beautiful！！！！

This was Paul's best song of his last 5 or 6 albums.
1:45
love this song.
He was raised in Liverpool. I was raised in Livermore. He learned a Bach song. So did I he became famous. I didn’t.
Very good audio
Actually Calico Skies was a later song that was very much in the vein of what he was talking about..and superior to this.
Is like similar a blackbird song
Emotion.
Excelente!
Bravo
Wake up for life guys...Paul isnt dead
f'kin' ace song that Macca lad! - ;)
Genius.
Paul toca um pedaço de uma Bourrée de Bach, no início do vídeo. A canção Jenny Wren é inspirada nessa Bourrée?
People will play this tune a hundred years from now and wonder why it wasn't popular in 20's century.
Blackbird, bluebird, Jenny wren Paul likes birds
Paul proofing being paul
doing a marathon now and then 04/11/23

Awesome moment!
Picking through the harmony governd by a song
Black bird went a wandering
Fluttering but strong
The walrus once had had it's fill on the mystic road
After went the the magpie feasting on it's load
How the hell do you get a ticket to one of these?
Time-travel to 2005
Paul is not dead...because he remember when he was young.

She saw poverty, breaking up her home

Paul's nickname for Jane Asher was "Jenny".
