"Maybe I'm Amazed" is another great song by Paul McCartney & Wings with his 2nd wife Linda! He was a genius with writing lyrics, going back to The Beatles days! He's always promoted peace and love, that's enough for me!
@@User_gin_aikensc_92753 Don't worry, I'm showing my age by admitting I know who Jane Asher is. Nevermind we might be older but we grew up with the best music ✌
Paul's considered one of rock's best and most innovative bassists. Just listen to his bass line on the Beatles song "Something," written and sung by George Harrison. It's so melodic it's practically a song in itself.
All of his bass work from Rubber Soul forward is incredibly innovative. And melodic is definitely the right word. What would Come Together be without that bass line? Just a mediocre generic rock song.
Paul is the melody man. He just never, ever runs out of them. On RUclips there are a few videos where you have to guess the beatles song just from the bassline. I thought I would be good at it. Holy hell, I'm not!!!! I couldn't even recognize a lot of them because they sounded like a different song.
Tried to learn Penny Lane one time on bass and was completely befuddled. That’s when I started really paying attention to his bass riffs. Very complicated but fit in without being overwhelming
This was the #1 song of 1976 in the USA. :) You should definitely react to "Let Em In" by Wings. It's unique, in a way that only Paul McCartney can do. LOL!
"Silly Love Songs" was a gigantic hit in the United States. It topped the charts at number one and went on to become the song of 1976. I heard it on the radio so often back then that I can still hear it playing in my head whenever I want to -- that bass line, the melody, those harmonies, the disco strings, the horn riffs. Even so, new things stand out to me when I listen to it now, like the piano section towards the end. The first vinyl record I ever bought was "Wings Greatest", a 1978 compilation album featuring several of the bands greatest hits, in large part because it included this song, but also because of "Band on the Run", "Live and Let Die", "Jet", and others.
@@mikecaetano I think I read it actually drove him kind of nuts that he was always having to hear Paul's music everywhere. I honestly think part of the reason he barely did any shows (and no solo shows) was he was afraid he couldn't sell the tickets like Paul did. Whether that's true or not, who knows, but he was certainly intimidated by Paul's output and success. edited to add: It DEFINITELY drove him nuts that "Yesterday" followed him everywhere!
You have to react to Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul. He composed the song, sang it, and played ALL the instruments. It’s a love song to his wife, Linda. It’s so heartfelt and a rocker too!
Here's the wild part , Paul only played bass in the Beatles because nobody else would. He then goes on in his career to write some of the most memorable bass lines ever. His first instrument is guitar , second piano & bass third. He does also play drums. Just one of the greatest musicians ever.
To this day, Wings is still one of my favorite bands ever! Venus And Mars is my favorite album of theirs. Band On The Run, My Love, Listen To What the Man Said, Maybe I'm Amazed, and Magneto And Titanium Man are some more great songs to try.
I wish there were a whole lot more silly love songs right now. But they've gone away. This was a wonderful song in the summer of 1976. Our bicentennial year.
Paul McCartney and the Wings - Band on the Run - Uncle Albert - Jet - Live and Let Die - With a little Luck - Don't say Goodnight - Maybe I'm Amazed - My Love
Let Me Roll It is a great Wings song! All of the Beatles did great work after they broke up. George Harrison did some really beautiful things.... My Sweet Lord is great.
One of his best. My favorite is the “round” at the end with 3 different melodies coming together. (I Love you/ I can’t explain…/How can I tell you about my loved one?). Classic. If you want to hear some rocking’ Paul, I’d go with Live and Let Die, which is arguably the best James Bond move theme song ever.
Agreed, I could not remember the term Round to save my life. Thank you for reminding me of that because they do it so smoothly in this song. He will absolutely love Live or Let Die... everyone does❤️❤️❤️!!
Paul McCartney is probably my favorite song writer of all time. I took my dad to see him live for Father’s Day a few years back and it was the best concert I’ve been too, hands down.
Was so happy when Paul created Wings, we were so sad the Beatles had split up. Good part for Paul, it gave him time to focus on his life with Linda (RIP), and the beautiful children they created. Sweet song, always love a song about love, just can't beat it. Thanks Jay
Maybe I'm Amazed is generally regarded as Paul's best solo song. Either the studio video version or the Wings Live version would be great for you to react to.
@@richardkeating3575 The Maybe I'm Amazed studio version came from Paul's first solo album McCartney. The live version, which was the top ten hit single, was from Paul McCartney and Wings, the Wings Over America album.
@@keithjones6023 I LOVE UA/AH!! I think it's better than Silly Love Songs but wouldn't necessarily say a million, lol. Silly Love Songs is deceptively simple sounding, and was also a huge middle finger to those who said his music was too fluffy. He definitely had the last laugh. More than that, watch the live version. That asshole is playing that bassline while singing lead, and that lead includes 2 countermelodies. That's just insane. I was 8 years old that summer and I remember hearing the 3 melodies at once.
Paul's wife was the blonde in the band Linda she started one of the first vegetarian food companies I think it's still going? Please do a song written about a place in my country and somewhere I think Paul and Linda had an estate mull of kintyre it has bagpipes in it.
Greatest thing I ever heard was when I was saying to a younger person that I liked Paul McCartney and Wings much more than when he was part of 'The Fab Four' in the Beatles. To which they said 'Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?' Ahhh... yeah. :)
If you haven't done Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five; Let Me Roll It, Jet, Back Seat of My Car, Letting Go, then you have not touched the surface. Even Call Me Back Again, My Love, Maybe I'm Amazed... these are musts. Otherwise you miss out. He is an international treasure.
You got that right my friend. This was his answer to the people that made statements about his song writing about love songs. This song was like an answer to those people. Being silly in love is an alright place to be. This song did well in the marketplace.
I was crazy nuts over Silly Love Songs which took number 1 in 1976. So, I guess people really do love silly love songs. Paul is a great bassist and piano player. Thanks for this one Jayvee. Took me way back. Nice to go there from time to time.
Another master piece by Paul McCarney. He is so creative and talented. When you hear hus music you know that You are not wrong...You are going to find a fantastic music
I always associate this song with my sixth grade class trip to Bob-Lo Island, an amusement park located in Canada. It was early June of 1976, and my classmates and I were on one of the Bob-Lo boats. These boats were old-fashioned paddle-wheel boats that sailed on the Detroit River from downtown Detroit to Bob-Lo Island. The trip took about two and a half hours. Many of my classmates and I were on the top deck of the boat just enjoying the sunshine and the warm summer breezes. Suddenly, over the PA system, this song came on, and the entire boat started dancing, my classmates and I, included. We started jumping up and down, singing this song, laughing, and just being care-free kids on a field trip. It was truly one of the most special moments of my life.
This song is such a strange mix of hyped and sweet and sickly and insipid. What a trip! I see why it was/is such a hit. Thanks Paul, and thanks JV! Your commentary is amazing! It made me appreciate the music even more.
I can’t speak for Sir Paul, but I think Linda was the love of his life. I can remember sympathetically feeling his pain when she passed even though I didn’t know that much about her. Whenever I see video of the two of them together, I think “that’s what love is”. RIP Linda and thanks for a lifetime of music Paul! Now more Wings!!
The “people telling him not to write stuff like this” refers to John Lennon. This a riposte to Johns post Beatles dig at Paul for writing nothing but happy songs and not writing anything else but Yesterday in his song How Do You Sleep. Great song but nasty lyrics But is was an immeadiate reaction from John right after the Beatles broke up and John blamed Paul. They made up much later of course and were friends again Try Calico Sky by Paul for a love song
To be clear John announced to the band he was leaving but was persuaded to keep quiet until their last album was released. But then Paul jumped the gun and announced his leaving first. This pissed off John and hence the bitterness for a few years and the nasty, but brilliant, How Do You Sleep. Which essentially had a go at Paul for his actions and of course John’s narrow, because of his anger, view of Paul’s songwriting. He was wrong of course but by then the red mist was down Tense times
In an interview John claimed that he was hearing subtle digs at him in the early wings albums by Paul which led him to the “how do you sleep” song which John says was not so subtle.
@@skintrader100 Paranoia reigned in those days between them. John suffered for a few years of the band with on and off writers block. Yet still produced some of most brilliant songs. Go figure. Paul has said he never consciously wrote any songs early on to prompt How Do You Sleep. On some studio out takes of the Beatles towards the end you can hear the track being rehearsed by John. The lyrics came later. It all ended very oddly I have a compilation of the songs John, Paul and George released on their first albums. Reduced to 12 tracks it makes for an astonishing and brilliant album. Especially as all the songs gestated during the last couple of years of the Beatles
@@topgazza yeah and I bet yoko probably fed Johns paranoia that Paul was taking shots at him in his music. John also stated that Paul was ok in regards to the “how do you sleep” track. Paul took it like a champ.
@@skintrader100 It’s a story with lots of nuances. But it has become pretty established by all the witnesses that Yoko poisoned Johns mind and fed his paranoia. John responded in that song with a dig at Linda “jump when your momma tell you anything” ouch. Sad but another fascinating part of their career
I personally have a lot of really good memories listening to Paul and Wings. I loved how varied they were within their songs, which turns out most songs that are my favorites do exactly that.
What a classic from Wings. Paul's bass is fantastic as usual and the whole song flows beautifully. Have you listened to Live and Let Die yet Jay? That's one of my faves and it rocks.😁👍🎶❤️
This was from his 1976 tour Wings Over America. I was lucky enough to see this concert at the Summit in Houston. Great concert. I will never forget it. I was just about to turn 20 years old...I am now 65 and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Have seen Paul around 5 times since then. General admission tickets, so I got with in 50 feet of the stage and it was amazing. There is a blu ray of this concert. I highly recommend it.
This was written as a slap back kind of statement to critics and John Lennon, both of whom at various times dismissed Paul’s penchant for writing poppy love songs, which also happened to be enormous hits and connected to people who enjoyed music the pleasure and joy that music should be about. This song ended up being a huge, huge hit and made Paul’s point “what’s wrong with that?” Love Paul!
This was said to be in response to John Lennon's remark about Paul McCartney writing too many silly love songs. But I always wondered if one of the people Paul was directing the "I love you" lines to was John Lennon. Gives the song a dual meaning that he still loves John like a brother no matter what. Check out "Live and Let Die" (Paul wrote this for the James Bond movie of the same name) and "Jet."
That summer, 1976 i was 5 and my sister 8, you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing this one. My mom used to take my sister and myself fishing often and no matter the day, in the way this song was on the radio. We called it our "fishing song". Mom would sing it and point at us that she loved us. I miss those days and miss mom also.
Wings were a great band. They have so many great songs. Paul Mc Cartney has a great style of writing and as many people said here-he is an excellent bass player. His wife Linda was in the band too. I particularly love this song because the world always needs more love songs. I would recommend 'No more lonely nights' by Paul Mc Cartney.
Wow, I was 6yrs old at the time this song came out. I remember listening to it on our stereo system, my 2 sisters and brother would all dance with this playing.
@@salsasoul4112 I was born in NYC in 1968, the exact same day John and Paul announced Apple COrps! When they took a car ride to JFK they passed the hospital where newborn me was in a crib.
This is an amazing 70's song and also timeless. The bass, horns, vocals, and mix of instruments at the end are pure bliss, especially if you have good headphones.

There should be no surprise when a Paul McCartney song has a strong bass, since he's one of the best bass players around.
He and Entwistle are credited with basically inventing how to play rock bass. Such totally different styles, and both so great.
@@loosilu Amen.
Oh, yes. Definitely!
Yes, thank you! But a good piano player too. Not to mention the fact that he was left handed.
And such a unique warm bass tone
"Shout out to that bass player"---yeah, that's Paul. And he's always amazing.
It wasn't Paul, though.
@@Quirkydude Yes, it is.
@@Quirkydude It was. You can literally see him playing the bass in the video, live on stage!
@@Quirkydude Only Paul plays like that.
@@Quirkydude I'm curious. Who do YOU think plays bass on this song? 🤨
This song was really sweet. That was his wife, Linda singing back up with him. The world could use some more loving messages these days.
Always!
I heard that one time in an interview, John Lennon remarked that Paul just wrote "silly love songs". When McCartney heard about it, he wrote this song
John was always a smart a**, and his mouth usually got him in trouble.
This is absolute truth
This wasn’t true. Paul stated that it was from an article that criticised him for always writing silly love songs. It wasn’t John that said it.
@@skintrader100 But John did say it. Over and over he said it. Of course, John wrote a few silly love songs himself, such as "Oh Yoko!"
Sounds like something JL would say. Live at the BBC has chatter and they were the two always joking around, Ringo and George less so.
"Live And Let Die" is Paul McCartney's theme song for the James Bond movie of the same name.
Yes! My favourite of his solo songs.
Omg i LOVE this song 😍
"No More Lonely Nights" from Paul is really beautiful.
Great David Gilmour guitar solo, too!
"Maybe I'm Amazed" is another great song by Paul McCartney & Wings with his 2nd wife Linda! He was a genius with writing lyrics, going back to The Beatles days! He's always promoted peace and love, that's enough for me!
Linda was Paul's first wife. Paul would have married Jane Asher but he got busted cheating on her.
Linda was his first wife

I love how he says "door"! You know what I mean. :)
It reminds me of Get Back in that it holds the beat back in a really cool way.
“Live and Let Die” or “Let ‘em in” would be great next songs for your reaction

Love that album!
Some of those are Paul solo, for those who don't know.

Let Me Roll It is a great Wings song!
All of the Beatles did great work after they broke up. George Harrison did some really beautiful things.... My Sweet Lord is great.
Yes one of my faves!!!
George Harrison had the best Solo album of all the Beatles in my opinion. All Things Must Pass is a complete masterpiece!!!
Let Me Roll It is 100 times better than this one!
@Rose Madder Love the book by the way 😉
@Rose Madder Not sure if we are on the same wavelength, l meant the Stephen King book with the title Rose Madder 😉
"No more lonely nights" and "Mull of Kintyre" next!! ❤
One of his best. My favorite is the “round” at the end with 3 different melodies coming together. (I Love you/ I can’t explain…/How can I tell you about my loved one?). Classic. If you want to hear some rocking’ Paul, I’d go with Live and Let Die, which is arguably the best James Bond move theme song ever.

For rocking Paul I would suggest that song, as well as Jet and Junior's Farm.
Agreed, I could not remember the term Round to save my life. Thank you for reminding me of that because they do it so smoothly in this song. He will absolutely love Live or Let Die... everyone does❤️❤️❤️!!
Absolutely my favourite Bond theme.
Who's the bass player? That would be Sir Paul himself, one of the greatest bass players ever.
This is a great song by Wings.
You may want to try: Jet, Let 'em In, and With a Little Luck.
Add My Love, Maybe I'm Amazed, Live & Let Die and Waterfalls and that would make a great playlist for Jay to tap into ✌
Also Listen to what the man said…
Oh! I forget about With a Little Luck. Like that a lot too.
I love WIth a LIttle Luck.
@@kerryn6714 I don't think those are Wings?
Paul McCartney is probably my favorite song writer of all time. I took my dad to see him live for Father’s Day a few years back and it was the best concert I’ve been too, hands down.
He's such an incredible performer. I remember thinking that the stadium felt too small.
One of my absolute favorite feel good songs of all time!!!
Gotta listen to his song, 'My Love' which has an amazing guitar solo. Also Jet is another great Wings song as well as many more.
JET. Damn straight. Great song. And maybe JayVee could chase it up with Rick Springfield's amped up cover of JET, which is equally good.
I think it's one of his goopy ones.
Love Paul McCartney and Wings!! Just simple, happy, glorious music ❤️😍❤️
Paul is awesome bass player. You should check out Goodnight Tonight and Jet.
Was so happy when Paul created Wings, we were so sad the Beatles had split up. Good part for Paul, it gave him time to focus on his life with Linda (RIP), and the beautiful children they created. Sweet song, always love a song about love, just can't beat it. Thanks Jay

The beautiful blonde that was always with him. Was his wife Linda McCartney!! Beautiful sweet Linda. She passed away from cancer some years ago.
No one's suggesting "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". His first #1 hit after the Beatles broke up. Very unique and a song you NEVER hear.
Mind-blowingly nuts! Off the charts experimentation! 🤩😍🤩

Paranoia reigned in those days between them. John suffered for a few years of the band with on and off writers block. Yet still produced some of most brilliant songs. Go figure. Paul has said he never consciously wrote any songs early on to prompt How Do You Sleep. On some studio out takes of the Beatles towards the end you can hear the track being rehearsed by John. The lyrics came later. It all ended very oddly
I have a compilation of the songs John, Paul and George released on their first albums. Reduced to 12 tracks it makes for an astonishing and brilliant album. Especially as all the songs gestated during the last couple of years of the Beatles
@@topgazza yeah and I bet yoko probably fed Johns paranoia that Paul was taking shots at him in his music. John also stated that Paul was ok in regards to the “how do you sleep” track. Paul took it like a champ.

It’s a story with lots of nuances. But it has become pretty established by all the witnesses that Yoko poisoned Johns mind and fed his paranoia. John responded in that song with a dig at Linda “jump when your momma tell you anything” ouch. Sad but another fascinating part of their career
I personally have a lot of really good memories listening to Paul and Wings. I loved how varied they were within their songs, which turns out most songs that are my favorites do exactly that.
I have their greatest hits! awesome music by sir paul! He was in love with his wife Linda until the day she passed from cancer
"That" bass player is Paul himself of course, one of the greatest ever! Keep up the good work Jay!
It's just Paul having fun with sounds. Incredible talent and genius. And your right, the bass on this song is simply amazing.
Yes, he deeply loved his now-deceased wife, Linda. We were all deeply grieved when we heard the news she passed.
Paul goes Disco! Sweet. Born musicians, with open minds can do anything!
Love Paul McCartney and Wings, more...
Man I really loved this song when I was little!! I remember singing this in the car every time it came on❤️ Brings back memories of being young👍
Me too I was 7 years old when this song was released. How time flies. 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
What a classic from Wings. Paul's bass is fantastic as usual and the whole song flows beautifully. Have you listened to Live and Let Die yet Jay? That's one of my faves and it rocks.😁👍🎶❤️
This was from his 1976 tour Wings Over America. I was lucky enough to see this concert at the Summit in Houston. Great concert. I will never forget it. I was just about to turn 20 years old...I am now 65 and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Have seen Paul around 5 times since then. General admission tickets, so I got with in 50 feet of the stage and it was amazing. There is a blu ray of this concert. I highly recommend it.
Brilliant thanks for picking this
This was written as a slap back kind of statement to critics and John Lennon, both of whom at various times dismissed Paul’s penchant for writing poppy love songs, which also happened to be enormous hits and connected to people who enjoyed music the pleasure and joy that music should be about. This song ended up being a huge, huge hit and made Paul’s point “what’s wrong with that?” Love Paul!
What a tune, no angst just joyous ❤️
This was said to be in response to John Lennon's remark about Paul McCartney writing too many silly love songs.
But I always wondered if one of the people Paul was directing the "I love you" lines to was John Lennon. Gives the song a dual meaning that he still loves John like a brother no matter what.
Check out "Live and Let Die" (Paul wrote this for the James Bond movie of the same name) and "Jet."
Always luv that song! 👍👍👍👍👍 Nothing silly 'bout luv songs. The sadder, the more beautiful... 👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That summer, 1976 i was 5 and my sister 8, you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing this one. My mom used to take my sister and myself fishing often and no matter the day, in the way this song was on the radio. We called it our "fishing song". Mom would sing it and point at us that she loved us. I miss those days and miss mom also.
greatest songwriter in popular music history
Wings were a great band. They have so many great songs. Paul Mc Cartney has a great style of writing and as many people said here-he is an excellent bass player. His wife Linda was in the band too. I particularly love this song because the world always needs more love songs. I would recommend 'No more lonely nights' by Paul Mc Cartney.
Paul is that bass player. Did you know he was the Beatles bassist? First rock bassist to play the melody and not the backbeat.
Nice to hear this one again. That bass line really blows me away and could be rated as one of the best in rock history.
Wow, I was 6yrs old at the time this song came out. I remember listening to it on our stereo system, my 2 sisters and brother would all dance with this playing.
This was the Number 1 Billboard song the day I was born in 1976. Wings is simply amazing! ❤
I think that means you were born in the summer, and you just had a birthday that ends in 5? Happy birthday!
@@loosilu Thanks Sweetheart 😊 ❤
@@salsasoul4112 I was born in NYC in 1968, the exact same day John and Paul announced Apple COrps! When they took a car ride to JFK they passed the hospital where newborn me was in a crib.
@@loosilu That's awesome!
One of my all time favorite songs. This one brings me back to being a kid and hearing it on the radio. It’s beautiful.
This is an amazing 70's song and also timeless. The bass, horns, vocals, and mix of instruments at the end are pure bliss, especially if you have good headphones.
I always loved this song. You can feel their love in it.

Paul Mc Cartney and Wings were one of the most successful groups of the 70’s. They had great hits, which also reminds me great times of my childhood.
I adore this song. So glad you like it 😊

That’s McCartney on bass. He played bass with The Beatles too; although he played guitar, piano and drums too.
Try Let Em in by Paul and Wings. There is also a version of Paul's song by Billy Paul
Oh I really love this one. Brings me back to my highschool years. You should react to My love, Deliver your children, Mull of Kintyre, Let me roll it.
I still listen to the live album Wings over America
Great reaction love the song.
