I've been thinking a lot as of late. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of all time, and there are plenty others to choose from. Not looking for arguments. This is from somebody, that back in junior high, was listening to the song 'Coming Up.' Today, I'm listening to 'Fool on the Hill.' There aren't any bad songs with Paul. How do you just sit there in front of a crowd and write a song? This is all beyond me. Think for a moment, if you will. Everything, having to do with Paul, is like a brilliant ray of sunshine. It's his soul, I do believe. He is peaceful and cares about animals and the world and people. He loved Linda and created a beautiful family along with all the music of 'Wings'. You don't see him on tabloids or on the news because he is a loud mouth wanting attention. I wish the world was filled with more people like him. I'm just wanting to know if anybody agrees and sees exactly what I see. Can I get thumbs up, people? Paul's birthday was two days ago. Happy belated birthday, Paul!
I love Paul. But c'mon you can't exonerate him from the "bad songs" charge. There are plenty: Temporary Secretary, Freedom, Maxwell's Silver Hammer. But he probably has the most "good" songs out of anyone in his peer group as well.
YES. Paul McCartney will be remembered like Mozart and Chopin. He is the best of the 20th Century. We are very fortunate to have been alive to hear his music right from him.
This is my song!! I have been the fool on the hill all of my life! No one has ever understood me, but Jesus does!!! And that's what counts !!!!!!!!!!!!
This song. My beloved Mom, a member of The Greatest Generation, opened her heart to the Beatles. She once confided in me that this song, "Fool on the Hill" was her second favorite Beatles song. Her first? "Yesterday", as played and sung by the Beatles, and me, her favorite only daughter. So when I hear this song, I think of my Mom, who could sometime surprise us all with her wisdom and grasp of the mysterious. God love you, Mom. I miss you.
No one can ever beat Paul McCartney, he is a complete package, i.e., a genius songwriter, amazing singing voice and good looks. Not to mention his natural connection to his audience.
@nakedBison69 Ha ha...My neighbor Larry Kane, was the ONLY reporter to travel with the Beatles on their 64/65 tours of the U.S. at the height of Beatlemania...his book "Ticket to Ride" is a fascinating read...Im just relating what he said about Paul ..hes not a bad guy at all ,,don't get me to wrong...but Larry said that he lives in a bubble and wasn't as real/ and approachable and down to Earth as John and George were...thats all
Paul’s “Fool on the hill” is a major song musically and lyrically. Check the way the lyrics unfold by the way he turns the perspective right around. “They are the fools” while he”the man of a thousand voices” It is a hymn for the outsider.
Absolutely!!! On first impression it’s the saddest song ever but it then becomes the truest, the hymn to all of us outsiders, outsiders to the spinning world❤
I feel like this song is about the person that we all know, that hasn't done much with their life by the traditional measures. But when you look them in the eye you see they have a joyous glint in their eye, and a knowing smile on the corner of their mouth. And you realise this person exists on a whole different level to yourself, and the other people you know.
You just described me🌻and my entire birth family saw me as a fool...was judged by the standards everyone is forced to live by. I never did fit in and I'm the happiest being just to be me
I saw him in 1976 at MSG with Linda and Wings. He sang The Long And Winding Road and Yesterday too. That night remains one of the highlights of my life. What a talent. I have always loved and admired Paul.
I can't think of anyone as talented as Paul....singer, songwriter, guitarist, nature and animal lover....just brilliant at everything this man does...I've loved him since the age of 9 and always will ~ 💖💖💖💖
Well said. Totally ridiculous to dislike this. McCartney is unquestionably one of the greatest singers, songwriters, and popular icons of the twentieth century. That being said, as much as I like Paul doing it, my favorite is Sergio and Brazil '66. But Paul wrote it. I was born in '55...I count my lucky stars to have grown up in an era where popular music was extremely well crafted-ALL styles of popular music.
He so deserves a Nobel Prize, or an entirely new award, to recognise his unique impact on the WORLD for over half a century, and hopefully many more years. His songs have depth, are uplifting, speak of the human condition and have touched millions of people. The underlying message being peace/love, who else has spread that message as elegantly??
mercedes6194 yes I agree...if God wanted to visit us through a British songwriter -vocalist-musician it is he, Sir Paul...revisiting his work 45 years later (I was 7 or 8 when my mom played his music) it's still magical and fresh...and uplifting
@@helenhanson5781 oh please don't start. He's not dead. Anyone who thinks that is either jealous of his work and wants to create a bad reputation of him or are gossipers.
inspired by the view of the Maharishi as the Beatles arrived for spiritual inspiration...they weren't making fun of him, just respect for his grasp of life while thinking most westerners would think he was a fool.
Day after day, Alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool, And he never gives an answer, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Well on the way, Head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make, and he never seems to notice, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do, and he never shows his feelings, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, ooh, Round and round and round. And he never listens to them, He knows that they're the fools They don't like him, The fool on the hill Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, Round and round and round
that's what we do..every day, on, and on..pretending that everything's fine; and? we come to believe it! but who cares? let 'em think we're the fools..just saying..
Dauphin Me too. My 10 month old grandson loves this and Octopuses Garden, he has a multicoloured Octopus and the tentacles make trumpet noises In different keys, we have a ball when we hear it.!!

The paradox of this song is, the music is so beautiful, and gives you a feeling of harmony and happiness, but the words of the song are so sad and tragic.
Thankyou Paul your music inspired me to pick up my flute for the first time and play during a depressing time of pandemic l listened to fool on the hill, it did it for me Thank you,💖
Paul McCartney s music is as fresh now as the day it was made ,so refreshing always timeless classics,were blessed to have shared his music, Thankyou from all your listeners and fans,God bless you always Paul,💖
Paul has become an international treasure, living and singing wonderfully beyond the age of most of his contemporaries. And better than all of them, consistently.
Some voices like Paul’s don’t need a choir for their songs do touch your ❤and deeply into your soul, they go!! Terrific re-make Mr. MacCartney...Perfect video: wow, wow, wow 😇😇😇😇❤️💙❤️💙❤️ Simply beautiful !!
Need I say it again. Sir Paul McCartney is a musical genius... An event which prompted this song happened when Paul was walking his dog, Martha, on Primrose Hill one morning. As he watched the sun rise, he noticed that Martha was missing. Paul turned around to look for his dog, and there a man stood, who appeared on the hill without making a sound. The gentleman was dressed respectably, in a belted raincoat. Paul knew this man had not been there seconds earlier as he had looked in that direction for Martha. Paul and the stranger exchanged a greeting, and this man then spoke of what a beautiful view it was from the top of this hill that overlooked London. Within a few seconds, Paul looked around again, and the man was gone. He had vanished as he had appeared. A friend of McCartney's, Alistair Taylor, was present with Paul during this strange incident, and wrote of this event in his book, Yesterday. Both Paul and Alistair could not imagine what happened to this man. He had seemed to vanish in thin air. The nearest trees for cover were too far to reach by walking or running in a few seconds, and the crest of the hill was too far as well to reach in that short time. What made the experience even more mysterious, was that just before this man first appeared, Paul and Alistair were speaking to each other of the beauty they observed of the view towards London and the existence of God. Once back home, they spent the morning discussing what had happened, trying to make some sense of it. They both agreed that this was something others were infer occurred as a result of an "acid trip," but they both swore they had not taken or used any drugs. When Paul filmed the sequence for this song in the film, it shows him on a hilltop overlooking the town of Nice.
La Choriste - Some more than others. The real fool is the one who can't live with their own foolishness, the foolishness of others and the foolishness of the world. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't believe everything you think. Listen quietly. There is wisdom in silence. Rumi says: "Silence is the voice of God; all else is a poor translation." The world is infinite in all directions; the fool wants to box everything in, categorise everything in nice, neat little lines. And gets frustrated and angry when the world doesn't follow his model, his idée fixe. Bonsoir! La Choriste - Certains plus que d'autres. Le vrai fou est celui qui ne peut pas vivre avec sa propre folie, la folie des autres et la folie du monde. Ne te prends pas trop au sérieux. Ne crois pas tout ce que tu penses. Ecoute doucement. Il y a de la sagesse dans le silence. Rumi dit: "Le silence est la voix de Dieu; tout le reste est une mauvaise traduction." Le monde est infini dans toutes les directions; le fou veut tout encaisser, tout classer dans de jolies petites lignes bien nettes. Et devient frustré et en colère lorsque le monde ne suit pas son modèle, son idée fixe. Bonsoir!
The fools people that make fun of other people for enjoying such a song Understanding people for what they love or enjoy nothing ever to be made fun of just because you can doesn't mean you should Maybe a Fool on the Hill might lonely it's only art is making fun of other people makes them feel funny and important
John Lennon started th4 group, brought in Paul and George (through Paul}. John was "primus inter pares." Paul was the pop element. John was the soul. Even Paul knew it.
Yeah so much brilliant and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Martin from Crest-wood, Washington DC. Where are you from ?
If you were able to see the documentary get back ,you could realize that Paul,is the driving force behind the band. He's a perfectionist,he's telling George go to D minor ,then G then he's barking out notes as he goes along. I give him lots of credit for the Beatles success and of course add Jhon and Harrison and Ringo. Paul is a very talented musician,like Prince.
Yet another masterpiece by Sir Paul. (Experts agree: 'The Magical Mystery Mystery Tour' was one of the Beatles' best albums, in the same league as Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and Rubber Soul.)
Yeah so Absolutely beautiful and amazing Digital and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Martin from Crest-wood, Washington DC. Where are you from ?
From the moment it came out this tune has always been one of my preferred song from THE BEATLES. One which talks about someone who may perhaps be a dreamer with a vision nobody grasps or understands. "THE FOOL ON THE HILL " is a masterpice of Paul McCarthey.
I grew up with the Beatles' songs. Then I heard this song, and I thought what a beautiful melody. Then I checked RUclips for it. Shocker! It's Paulie?! And I missed it?
I've been thinking a lot as of late. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of all time, and there are plenty others to choose from. Not looking for arguments.

You don't see him on tabloids or on the news because he is a loud mouth wanting attention. I wish the world was filled with more people like him. I'm just wanting to know if anybody agrees and sees exactly what I see. Can I get thumbs up, people? Paul's birthday was two days ago. Happy belated birthday, Paul!
This comment is the perfect summary of why I like Paul so much as well
Jim Croce
You damned bastard
(just kidding this jimmy is a classy)
@@Zahajko Jim Croce is the most underrated musician ever, it's disrespectful that he isn't in the rock and roll Hall of fame yet.
All of the Fab Four are amazing talents !
I love Paul. But c'mon you can't exonerate him from the "bad songs" charge. There are plenty: Temporary Secretary, Freedom, Maxwell's Silver Hammer. But he probably has the most "good" songs out of anyone in his peer group as well.
I saw Paul in concert in 2017, and he could do an entire concert on the piano alone. A great talent. I also saw him with three other guys in 1965.
Gary Morris Hmm I wonder who those three other guys were..?
THE CHOSEN ONE I wonder too hmm
Awsome!! you saw him with the three other guys
@@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf but who are the three other guys
This totally happened
YES. Paul McCartney will be remembered like Mozart and Chopin. He is the best of the 20th Century. We are very fortunate to have been alive to hear his music right from him.
Who was his drummer
in this recording ???
Fabulous!
McCartney's gift was that he could write songs that were already in you.
Best comment ever...really!!!
This is my song!! I have been the fool on the hill all of my life! No one has ever understood me, but Jesus does!!! And that's what counts !!!!!!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We all love him!!!

3. Fool on the Hill

Greatest genius of our time.
Thank you Paul, for making music and making so many people happy.
I love you.
I did a drawing of Paul with your profile picture as the reference
Couldn't of put it better myself 👍
Genius for sure, especially since he does not read sheet music. Does it all by feel.
@@1stGeorgiaGirl Paul McCartney died in 1966, he was replaced by a lookalike William Shepherd, who is a trained musician and could read music.
Best band ever!!!

He may have an over developed EGO however..you think?

wooow paul vocals are awesome here
Paul's vocals are always awesome
when he sing this hidden truth there will ofc be a passion most wont understand
The Earth is Flat
Which Paul?
@@g2tennis I was gonna reply exactly this but you already did haha
Ilie Tudor the only Paul that sings in the band, unless Ringo legally changed his name to Paul.
I feel like this song is about the person that we all know, that hasn't done much with their life by the traditional measures. But when you look them in the eye you see they have a joyous glint in their eye, and a knowing smile on the corner of their mouth.

You just described me🌻and my entire birth family saw me as a fool...was judged by the standards everyone is forced to live by. I never did fit in and I'm the happiest being just to be me
Paul is a Genius.This is one of my favorites songs of him.
Man the live version brings me to tears, Paul’s voice is just so beautiful.
I saw him in MSG 1989. He sang this song will the stage was rising and spinning. I was paralyzed with joy !!!!
I saw him in 1976 at MSG with Linda and Wings. He sang The Long And Winding Road and Yesterday too. That night remains one of the highlights of my life. What a talent. I have always loved and admired Paul.
I can't think of anyone as talented as Paul....singer, songwriter, guitarist, nature and animal lover....just brilliant at everything this man does...I've loved him since the age of 9 and always will ~ 💖💖💖💖

Fool on the hill is a high intellectual composition it's underrated b
Part of his beautiful charisma.
Agree, although this video is at least 30 years old. 😀
I'm a fool in a basement wishing I was good enough to be a fool on the hill
I'm just a fool for ever having been a fool for a fool.
I am working my way to being a fool and time's running out.
Trav, I beat you to it, and I want my life back thanks...
Get back to your life? That's a long and winding road, by way of Penny Lane. No task for a day-tripper. Just let it be, eh Jude?

but I think you may be "waking up" now!
this ain't just a song, he's outright telling y'all that the Earth is truly flat, motionless and the sun revolves around it....
There are not many people of my generation who had the mastery of melody that Paul has. I always loved this song, ever since I was a kiddie.
Para eso está la función "compartir" (➡)
Absolute genius,nothing more to be said!🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
懐かしい♪Beatles で大好きな曲の１つです。
Even after all those years...he's still got it :) You go Mr. McCartney
Paul has always had a fantastic voice, from the Quarrymen to now. What an incredible musician.
Who's listening to this song in 2020?
Me,lol
2021
2021! And I'll be back in 2040, 2060, and 2080 if I can help it.
I always have this song in my heart and head. It reminds me of my Mom, who loved it.
Listening during the 2021 version of 2020 😊
This song brought me to tears at Metlife Stadium last night!! Got to see Paul McCartney, a real musical genius of my lifetime. Love you Paul!!!
Seeing Paul and Linda in Berkeley (my home town) in 89 was truly sublime … Indescribable. God damn I love that guy.
inspired by the view of the Maharishi as the Beatles arrived for spiritual inspiration...they weren't making fun of him, just respect for his grasp of life while thinking most westerners would think he was a fool.
I never heard that.
Its obvious,isn't it
What a beautiful voice.
He has a beatiful voice!!! I love this song
We all love and cherish him just privileged to have witnessed his genius , thank you.
when I listen to the Beatles, I remember my childhood, the warmth of bright feelings, and I want to do good.
The more I listen to this music, the more I feel so in love to the legacy of this amazing musician. Thanks Sir Paul for your heart touching songs.
A happy birthday to Sir Paul Mccartney ...77yrs 18th June 1942....thank you for the music ...down the years ...wish him a long & healthy life.
The lyrics describe the 'titular fool', a solitary man who is not understood by others, but is very wise.
Paul himself! Thank you.
This is real music
Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Ooh,
Round and round and round
John Lennon even liked these lyrics!

Yeah so much brilliant and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Martin from Crest-wood, Washington DC. Where are you from ?
Hope you don't mind me asking ?
The voice that shaped a generation.
love this song ❤️
so very very nice...this version is so beautiful!!!!
It's a masterpiece.
Paul mc McCartney por siempre.gracias x tu música 🎶
I wonder how many middle-aged and older people can listen to this and not burst into tears.
as a young person it sounds more like a silly song than a song to cry to
it has this serious part that constantly gets interrupted by a sesame street type beat and its silly
If you were able to see the documentary get back ,you could realize that Paul,is the driving force behind the band.
He's a perfectionist,he's telling George go to D minor ,then G then he's barking out notes as he goes along.
I give him lots of credit for the Beatles success and of course add Jhon and Harrison and Ringo.
Paul is a very talented musician,like Prince.
This version is just awesome !
Yet another masterpiece by Sir Paul. (Experts agree: 'The Magical Mystery Mystery Tour' was one of the Beatles' best albums, in the same league as Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and Rubber Soul.)
The arrangement to this song is insanely well crafted. My Dad bought the single back in '67 (???).
One's of Paul's best.
I lived near Armistead Maupin in San Francisco....our hill was a 45 degree one! He called us the fools on the hill!!! His poodle dog was so precious!
My ALL TIME FAVORITE Paul MCcartney song! 🍺😎👍
Beautiful. It took a room full of great musicians to replicate what 4 lads from Liverpool made. They ARE the greatest, never to be replaced. Never.
A wonderful song from one of the most prolific artists/bands of my time.
Love this album ❤
I love this song💛
man I hope he lives to 100 I want to grow old sharing this earth with him
An absolute master at work.
Beautiful. One of my all-time favorite Beatles's songs. (Actually, written and sung by Paul.)
Absolutely Beautiful!
Yeah so Absolutely beautiful and amazing Digital and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Martin from Crest-wood, Washington DC. Where are you from ?
Hope you don't mind me asking ?
What a wonderful song with so much meaning ...
Excellent! Just the voice for such a tune.
Just beautiful.
This is one of my favorite Beatles-era songs. I would also mention 'Fixing a Hole' and 'She's Leaving Home'.
Poor Paul. He was probably thinking of how much fun he had when he was making Magical Mystery won't his best friends...😭
He is the light he is the love....what a man of peace. I saw him in 1991. Pure musician of magic.
this is my go to panic/anxiety attack relief song. I usually count while it plays, such a good song.
Incredible melody!
Greetings from Argentina!!! I love this song!!!!
+Marco Antonio Hi Marco not many times do I get the opportunity to talk to someone from Argentina
Marco Antonio
I love Paul Mccartney what a talented man
The best of the best, Gold albums everywhere!
From the moment it came out this tune has always been one of my preferred song from THE BEATLES. One which talks about someone who may perhaps be a dreamer with a vision nobody grasps or understands. "THE FOOL ON THE HILL " is a masterpice of Paul McCarthey.
Paul is so marvelous...
I grew up with the Beatles' songs. Then I heard this song, and I thought what a beautiful melody. Then I checked RUclips for it. Shocker! It's Paulie?! And I missed it?
And of course backed by wonderful talented musicians, don't forget that.
There's no better fool on the hill but me...
That Magical Mystery Tour is the one I'm still on.
God bless all fools.. 🐦
Thank you Sir Paul for your incredible music, I love you, 7 decades of greatness. Don't stop rockin'!
Pure genius brilliance
I love this song so much.
David Caruso: "and this song"...(puts shades on)..."loves you!" (with a sudden dramatic turn left and departure off stage left).
My favorite demi god next to Hercules...Hercules was stronger but Theseus was smart and strong! a good combo...
