“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
I am looking forward to reading Uetti's comments. He knows his stuff so thoroughly.
As for the song, it's interesting that you still link This One to Crowded House even though this one wasn't produced by Mitchell Froom.
This is Paul McCartney production.
Apart from Wix, all of the future Paul McCartney Band plays on this song, with particularly good vocal harmonies by Linda, the Hamish Stuart counter-vocals and the usual great bass performance by Paul, who also plays sitar and wine glasses (Like in the 1970 McCartney track Glasses) over the "spooky" intro, which was actually conceived to be more meditative than spooky 😀.
This One was released as the second single from the album, after My Brave Face, and all its graphics (Like single cover, posters etc.) were Indian influenced, with depictions of Krishna riding a swan ("The swan/This one").
Even the music video reflects this imagery, so I think the intro headed more in that direction than a spooky one.
By the way, I really love and maybe prefer the demo version of the song.
For being a demo, it is pretty much produced (With piano, live drums and vocal harmonies), but it is still pretty bare bones and it really showcases the writing, presenting the song without all those "distractions" and production choices (Intro and outro included).
And also, Paul sings it beautifully.
Here it is:

One of Paul's nice word games. I love the lyrics. Instrumentation, arrangement, production meticulously. For me one of the three best songs on the album. Nice reaction
It is meticulously redcorded for sure. A lovely song.
Love this.
You guys are so lucky to be listening to the Paul McCartney magic for the first time. You're always comparing his songs to other artists that came after. It's just proof of how innovative Paul McCartney was and still is! Most of us bought these albums as soon as they came out and have been loving them for years!
Absolutely. Some critics and people have since being more critical and less favourable to FITD but I think it was a materpiece upon release and remains one today. An album that saved McCartney from possible fade away and helped support a stunning tour.
This One and My Brave Face are the two best on the album to me.
and Put It There are the three best songs
and That Day is Done makes the top four
I really enjoy this song! Paul and "Declan" wrote 12 songs together that year but I was only familiar with Veronica that appeared on Elvis Costello's Spike album from this same year. I should check out the other ones they co-wrote that appear on the Elvis album 🙂. Paul spread several out over more than one album I think.
Hope this helps.

If you want more detail check out the prior video post on the song ‘You Want Her Too’. .... This Town is not technically a co-write.
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 Yeah, you just included it because Paul plays bass on it.😉
Just heard the demo for So Like Candy: ruclips.net/video/YV1fjTZj1R0/видео.html
Elvis' version sounds great and since the song is so mournful, it really hits with a single voice. But man, those demo harmonies were special. There's a certain magic to this version. I love how they weave around each other, each taking a high or low part. So good...
Tommy's Coming Home is an instant folk song classic. They should've released that demo as is at the time.
@@Kieop Yep those demos are some of McCartney's best work but much of that has to be attributed to Elvis Costello of course. I always have wondered what might have been if they had stuck together for a few more albums. Cheers.
I like this one. Pun intended.
The next one is my favorite on the album.
Veronica was co-written with Paul McCartney
The best song with Put It There
More clever word play from Paul. This one contains homophones. Pun intended.
In the chorus, he plays off "this one" by replacing it with "this swan" or "the swan".
This is truly a great song and stellar production and performance. Hamish is the second vocalist on this which is great, very McCartney/Lennon like.
As far as stage names, CPO is a stage name itself, so you’re good, but I’ll give Corey the name, Dartanan Rhodes
Cory - You will have to tell us what you think of the name she has given you (Dartanan Rhodes).
Hi. What about magneto and titanium man for the two of you!!!
He did these songs live
Figure of 8 (open the concert with this)
Rough ride
We got married
Put it there
This one
My brave face
Some are much rockier than the album. . My favourite songs are still to come, that day is done and how many people.
Side note: Elvis C made Paul use his Beatles hoffner bass again.
Also on the archive collection there is a disk of the two of them doing all the songs they wrote for this album and next live on acoustic guitar (early demos) - excellent
Thanks for mentioning That Day is Done as a favourite of yours because I feel it is a brilliant track. One of McCartney's all time classic deep cuts from across his whole career. It is brilliant and I love the lyric, 'she sprinkles flowers in the dirt, that's when a thrill becomes a hurt...' A co-write with Costello, Pauls vocals are impressive yetb again and it is such a poigant piece - proving McCartney can write and perform in any genre - genius!.
Pure McCartney genius! That outro is very McCartney though!
Funny that your favourite Elvis Costello's song, CPO, is Veronica, as it is another McCartney/MacManus co-write 😀
They definitely had something going. Too bad egos didn't allow the super group to happen.
Elton Cash, Johnny Dylon, Michael Wonder.
Well, guys, how about revisiting all McCartney's discography from the top once you've finished, giving it all a "fifth listening".
It would definitely be interesting 🙂
I enjoy the album Press to Play but hearing these tracks each day from Flowers in the Dirt makes me think twice. Flowers is a whole ton better in every way. IMO (just an opinion) I only dislike Motor or Love (which if had of been edited and less over produced might have liked it. It has a pleasant melody) and Figure of 8 (although I like it as a single).
Will you dudes be doing a review of Où Est le Soleil? It was on the offical album but not both LP and CD formats. It's a weird entry in the McCartney catalogue that's for sure. Whatever one makes of the song the video is woeful unlike the two versions for This One which are both highly creative, imaginative and quite apecial. I have always liked this song bt never come to adore it as much as many do. The intro and fade out are cool and the melody engaging but the chorus is somewhat a bit flat for me. The B-sides (qll of them are an interesting mix). My guilty pleasure is I like Good Sign from the 12 inch, even though I usually hate dance music! I should hate it but I don't. First Stone is a pretty cool rocker with Paul trying to be gritty, Here are the B-sides from Wikipedia although they left off Mama's Little Girl which was on the B-side to Put it There and is a delightful early Wings song.

This one... is one of my favorites from this LP. Some pretty nice lyrics...
"Did I ever take you in my arms,
Look you in the eye, tell you that I do,
Did I ever open up my heart
And let you look inside.
If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come.
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one."
It's got a good message... Stop waiting for some perfect moment that might never come. There just might never be a better moment than THIS ONE. Stop letting life pass you by. Grab life by the lapels and go for it.
Here's a video of them performing the song from the tour: ruclips.net/video/_fjOOYpIsO4/видео.html
Cory should 100% be LeBron Hendrix. :)
Great sounding track. Decent message. Still doesn't really do it for me though. I wonder who's the one that got away that he's singing to?
On first listen, it just sounds like he's singing about not taking people for granted; all we have is this moment. And you never know if you will have another opportunity.
However, in the part where he sings about missed opportunities and regretting past mistakes, he asks "couldn't I have given you a better life?". So this song is more in a vein with The Lovers That Never Were. It really is about the one who got away.
Elvis got his hair and glasses straight from his dad.
I'm a big McCartney fan, but as with much of this album, the song is only so-so. I do like the coda, though.
Nothing to do with Abbot & Costello. Declan's father Ross MacManus was Liverpool Irish and Costello is a West of Ireland name (dating to the 12th century). Ross MacManus wasa trumpeter who recorded as Day Costello, Costello being his paternal grandmother's maiden name. Oddly, "MacManus" is the Scottish spelling - Irish would be McManus. Not suire why that is.
