“Maybe I’m Amazed" is a Rock & Roll tribute to Paul McCartney featuring an all star lineup of world class studio musicians. MIA is dedicated to bringing the feel and sound of a McCartney live show. Their 90 minute show features Paul McCartney hits from The Beatles, Wings and his solo efforts set to a backdrop of multi-media and lighting that leaves the audience…Amazed.
CPO who plays Macca in the show has been playing Paul in national touring acts Beatles vs Stones and Abbey Road for the past 10+ years as well as other Beatles acts across the world including The Liverpool Beatles, Beatles show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Hard Days Night, 4 Lads from Liverpool, Sgt Pepper Beatles tribute, Beatlemaniacs and several others. He has also done several Wings and Beatles tribute shows with former Wings guitarist Laurence Juber. In addition, CPO has fronted Boingo Dance Party featuring Johnny Vatos and a rotating cast of former Oingo Boingo band members. CPO has also released several albums as a singer/songwriter including Wonderlove(with MIA drummer Dicki Fliszar), LPFM, Faul!, CPO & Co and several solo albums as Chris Paul Overall.
The Cast:
CPO (Macca) - bass, piano, guitar
Dicki Fliszar (Abe) - drums
Chris Jagich (Wix) - keys, guitar
Cory Clark (Rusty) - guitar
Scott Harrah (Ray) - guitar, bass
Nice irony: He sings: Away from all that jazz in an actually very jazzy song.
Fantastic song. Pure class.
When I heard this song for the first time, I was hooked.
MASTERPIECE! My fave of the album!
A beautiful ballad, love Paul’s bass playing via the 5-String and a great classical guitar solo.
This is finally back to classic McCartney! The melody, the double tracked voice..Great that he still has that young voice in that song.
That was love at first listen for me back in 1989 ❤
I was just looking up how the arrangement was done. The track was first demoed by Paul on a Fender Rhodes (at his Kintyre home studio, Scotland) so was presumably written on keyboard, but then the band version was Hamish Stuart ("Paul wanted the feel of an Argentinian tango. I was getting into Brazilian music at that time and the chords reflect that") on acoustic guitar, and Mitchel Froom (mainly) on keys, with Paul playing bass and the Spanish guitar solo. Paul gave Clare Fisher a tape of the band recording with "some general instructions," according to Fisher's son Brant who was present at the orchestral session. It was scored for 14 violins, 4 violas, 2 cellos and a double bass, but apparently not for clarinet. McCartney said that he loved the arrangement but specifically asked for the clarinet part himself: "We added it to the arrangement, going for more of a Benny Goodman feel than, say, Sydney Bechet." This addition was scored for 3 clarinets. (Info online and in e.g. 'Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas' Luca Perasi, 2023)
Paul acquired a Wal-E 5 string around this period which he used on the world tour following the album release. It’s such a beautifully written and produced song.
It's a magnificent Latin flavoured piece. Everything about this just gells. A masterpiece that not many know of. Simply amazing. This is an example of what separates Paul from other musical giants. This is Beatles worthy. Side one of FINTD must be the best side one of an album in the entire eighties.
For me this is the true masterpiece of this album, and for some reasons I always link it to And I Love Her, like it followed and developed that path that Paul opened in 1964.
Paul was a keen Prince fan in the 80s (He recorded a very Prince-esque song during this period called Don't Break The Promise), and it was through Prince's work that he came to know and appreciate Clare Fisher, who initially he thought was a girl 😀
I think Clare orchestration here elevates the song, as well as Paul's superb performances: Great vocals, among his best from this period for me; a super intricate bass line played on his new 5-string Wal bass and even a very good classical guitar solo, with each phrase played an octave above the previous.
Also of note that Paul produced this track (With Geoff Emerick engineering), a sign that maybe Macca didn't really need to work with all these "current" producers.
I mean, if you compare this to Trevor Horn's work on Rough Ride…
I share your love for this song and consider it a masterpiece in his entire catalogue. Don't Break the Promise - I had forgotten that hidden gem. I wish I had the knowledge that you and other musicians have so I could comment more. I certainly don't think it's nerdy stuff. I admire musicians and those who are sincere with their opinions. This song is like a superior brother to Footprints. Getting ready for Dave Gilmour tomorrow. I must apologise as I made an error I thought no tracks on this album were produced by David Foster and I was wrong. What is your view on whether it is by canon an official single or not? I don't think it got to released stage but a video was made and screened. Gilmour's guitar knocks it out of the park for me. Cheers - sorry too much waffle again.
Do you know which albums of Prince does he like ?
@@jean-christophealbert8903 I don't recall any specific one, maybe Paul has talked about what's his favourite Prince album but I haven't heard or read that quote.
The only thing remotely near I could find was this remark, made in 1989:
"I like Prince, he is probably my favourite modern act. I went to see his concert at Wembley, it was good. (What I like) about Prince, he is an innovator and he doesn’t go the way that everyone goes. He seems to stand out from the crowd. He looks good, he dances good, he sings great, plays great guitar and I like a lot of his songs. I like a lot of his albums, even the ones that kind of don’t do that well, you know"
@@Uetti Thx for your answer !
This album is one of my favs its overhated flowers in the dirt and off the ground are amazing late 80’s early 90’s albums
Surprised you never mentioned the use of harmonics and deliberate string squeaks from the acoustic guitar... this is what makes the song for me.
My first thought about this song when I originally heard it... was that it has a lush beauty to it.
Paul plays the bass and the Spanish guitar solo. Paul and Linda do the harmony vocals.
The orchestra had 14 violins, 4 violas, 2 cellos, 1 upright bass and 3 clarinets.
This link is Paul's demo version: ruclips.net/video/_ndH_A-EBq0/видео.html
Thanks for the link. That was lovely.
@@aBeatleFan4ever I don't hear Linda at all in this song, just Paul harmonizing with himself, sometimes using his falsetto voice
@@Uetti - I agree with you. That is how I hear it as well. But Luca Perasi has Linda listed as contributing a harmony vocal - so I listed it as he did.
@@Uetti That's what I hear too. But I've also read things that say otherwise. I read one that said the harmonies were Linda and Hamish. I think I'll trust my ears on this one. I hear one male falsetto harmony voice, which I believe to be Paul's. And the video link provided by @patticrichton1135 certainly seems to confirm this.
How true the topic of the song is. This is strengthened by the slightly melancholic sound. It's like in "Through our Love" on "Pipes of Peace": "We wasted time and again on things we already knew". Love could be so easy. Lovely tune, l ike the solo. Despite all of this, it's not one of my favorites on the album. Interesting your different perception of the song and but same general critics..
I was a teenager when I bought this album and it confused me, and this song is one of the biggest reasons why. Sure, I knew he was a pretty eclectic musician, though I was mostly familiar with him as a radio artist. I had bought Press to Play, All the Best and this album when they dropped, but I had also acquired McCartney, Pipes of Peace and Band on the Run, and was working on my Beatles collection. So I knew that he liked to add orchestration to his pieces.
And yet, this is just so lush, so UNLIKE anything I had heard from him before. It sounded like it belonged in a jazz lounge, so I'm not surprised to learn that it had a Brazilian influence. Paul had always liked Latin music; you can hear its influence going back to the early Beatles and he has used orchestration going back to Yesterday. But not together and he didn't want any of that Mantovani rubbish, by which he meant a full lush wall of sound. It's why he didn't like Phil Spector's Long and Winding Road arrangement. It's why, despite some people thinking that Good Night is McCartneyesque, I have gone to bat saying that song sounds NOTHING like Paul. But then here was THIS song. It's lush, but nothing like THOSE songs, because of the Latin vibe.
I like this song quite a bit; it sounds great. But it feels out of place on this album. And it really threw me the first time I heard it.
Johnny Cash and June Carter didn't sing "... hotter than a brussel sprout." LOL. They sang "... hotter than a pepper sprout."
Why is what Johnny Cash sings or not sings relevant for anything?
@@hakonberg8003 Because if you pay attention CPO mentions this song around the end of this video
THANK YOU, You are the only ones I have seen who has reacted to this BEAUTIFUL song that I LOVE so much from the "Flowers in the Dirt" LP. I WISH though that you had done a reaction to the GORGEOUS VIDEO that comes with it. PLEASE consider doing a REACTION to the VIDEO, to see him perform and in the studio, here it is... ruclips.net/video/rGiSrVqFPDQ/видео.html PLEASE?? THANK YOU!
Yes, I just watched that video for the first time. It really highlights his bass playing.
