Such a great and unique song.
Never turn the dial when it comes on. 🙂
Back in the 60s and 70s not all songs made sense. To me it was more if a vibe.
I never thought about what the song was about it just makes me feel good 😊
Agreed. Brad seems to miss that in most of his reactions. He gets caught up in analyzing the deep, secret meaning behind the lyrics, video, etc. instead of just saying whether he is enjoying (or disliking) the sound of the music & the singers voice. Sometimes the song is just for fun - there isn't always a deep significance behind it. Even if there is - so what? Just enjoy it!
@@r.r.6205 In all fairness to Brad, I imagine there’s a bit of pressure (even if it’s self imposed) for reactors to be able to understand the lyrics on camera, in the moment. I know I’ve been disappointed by some reactions where the reactor only commented on the music or just said whether or not they enjoyed the song without saying why. Besides, I suspect Brad is a thinker who is hardwired to analyze lyrics and music.
This is one where I can say that the meaning really doesn't matter. It's just a fun listen.
It's comical, sarcastic, witty, and just fun. Paul at his best.
Fun to watch your reaction videos, mate, but you don't need to take the lyrics literally on every song you react to. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey is just a pure nonsense song. It signifies nothing. :)
Just a fun song with with Linda and stella
Paul had two unfinished songs he wasn't sure what to do with so he put them together and this was the result. Paul, out of all the Beatles, liked to have a bit of fun with his music. It wasn't always serious.
The Beatles were never serious all the time either
Listen to "You know my name look up my number" from the Beatles. Almost like monty python were in the studio
I don't know what Paul was thinking but i think the first part is them (as you said, fake) apologizing for no one being able to get hold of them while they are relaxing raising kids, the second part (hands across the water) is them stirring to make the record by contacting players and management and the last part is them going out into the musician life on the road, this time with their kids in tow. Live a little, be a gypsy, get around, get your feet back on the ground, live a little, get around!
One of the great things about the music of our youth was the fun silly songs like this! Not everything had to have a deep heavy cultural message to it. Music was often about love, breakups, etc, but also much of it was just joyful and fun, a celebration of life, love, music, etc.
My favorite PM solo song. This is more a Lex tune than a Brad tune; she’d bop the crap outta this one.
Miss Lex... hope she can return soon.
@@retiredfirelt586 Agreed - just look at Brad's "numbers" views, etc. in comparison to when Lex is on camera. That's what the majority of what the rest of us want - Lex!!
This was a 70s song that was a call back to the 60s psychedelic era. ❤
Knowing that Paul did this song by himself, and as I see it just playing with music, makes it fantastic for me. Also such a different song at the time.
Actually Paul McCartney had a band by the time he recorded this song. It wasn't Wings, but the start of it. After recording the album "McCartney" by himself (with vocals from Linda), he started recording his next album "Ram" with a new band, including this song.
@@Trevornator oops, my mistake. Thanks
Hi Brad! I loved this song when it came out I believe 1971. Never paid attention to the lyrics much but I think his reference to uncle Albert is more towards an older uncle and not having time for older folks that really need the company. Great song!
This was the first time I picked up on that. I was nine in 1971 and thanks to the Air Force we didn’t live near extended family so the idea that Uncle Albert was older and neglected wasn’t even on my radar.
Funny it came out in 1971. I thought it was later. But I think I had it confused with Open The Door. Just fun songs.
The early 1970s gave us the best Progressive Rock, and McCartney gave us his finest Progressive Pop music.
To be clear: these are just home movies of Paul's family at his Scottish Farm, nothing to to do with the song. In school we used to drive the teaching staff nuts singing this song in the Hallway esp the Hands across the Water part lol. Critics didn;t get it...it was just a fun song for people to laugh about and sing....anyone who didn't like this song must have their head square up their ass....you're being too serious, it's just for fun...went to #1 and sold millions. I've heard sillier songs, like Disco Duck and the Streak...and "Lookin; like a fool wth your pants to the ground...."
Stop trying to figure it out, Brad. Just enjoy the magic of Paul McCartney.
As Paul was breaking from the Beatles and starting Wings, he made this song (and album). The song is a compilation of three different unfinished pieces he'd started while in the Beatles. I love the verse, "I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie" "Butter pie?" "The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie" "Oh, alright". That part has made me laugh since I was a kid in the 70s! It doesn't follow through sense-wise, but it doesn't have to. It's just a fun song with a lot of different parts that Paul blended together into a good time and still one of my all-time favorite listens.
No. 1 US Charts 1971..can't get any higher..a classic
RIP to Linda!
Fun song
Well, ya know. Not all songs really have to be exactly the same beat and melody from start to finish and sometimes lyrics mean different things to different people.
Paul had so many songs in his head and joined a few together
Paul said that he meant Uncle Albert as an apology from his generation to his father's, for being too busy doing their own thing to have time for them-- "We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day." Admiral Halsey was Paul's depiction of his father's generation. "Hands across the water" was a slogan during WWII.
Admiral Halsey was an American Admiral during WW2, Paul said this song was partly about US Aid shipments during the war.
@@idontwantmyrealnameonhere5955 "Hands Across the Water"
Look up Billy Shears , William Campbell and other aliases. This is the Fake Paul McCartney or Faul McCartney. The real Paul McCartney died in a car accident back in 1966. It's freaky as hell, BUT all laid out in the song "A Day in the Life" from the truly wacky Seargent Peppers album.
1971,not '68. The Beatles were still around in 1968!
no one knows what the songs means but it is a great song! Paul just knows how to change up a song so well and it all transitions like its meant to be
Love this song 😀❤️
What did they do ? They haven't done a bloody thing all day.
The woman is Paul’s first wife, Linda, who sadly passed away fairly young of breast cancer. The little girl in the home movies is their daughter Stella, now a world famous fashion designer.
Thank you!! I recently looked up to see if you and Lex reacted to this song. I was super surprised to see y’all didn’t. Glad to get this!!
sonidos y voces geniales ... un temazo de sir Paul!!!
Absolutely love the time when this tune came out.. Great tune.. Prefer Wings over The Beatles.. "Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five".. "Drink to Me"
Lol, you couldn't have picked a worse song to interpret. I'm quite sure PM didn't even know what it was about. Linda Eastman. Think super wealthy Eastman Kodak family.
LOL..your so funny! Love this song and Wing's so so much! My Bf get's sick of me playing them lol he's like Noooo! Put the Police on!
i have been trying to figure out why they were apologizing to uncle albert, FOR THE LAST FIFTY YEARS!
and i'm still perplexed every time i hear this song. i guess paul wanted to force us all to use our imagination.
Please don't try to over analyze...It's called a medley, a collaboration of unfinished songs that McCartney linked together... Back in the day when we had real musicians creating real music, not just opening up the lap top and copy and pasting.....Just enjoy!
I always theorized it was Paul taking a shot at John for running off to America to start a family. It's a song he stopped playing live for some reason he hasn't said.
If you listen to the song again and think about Paul speaking to John about his absence, about his choosing a different path and life, really at the time almost choosing America over England. A quiet life over the band. It has a sort of "we lost John to America" vibe. The title uses American names. We see Admiral Halsey (John wearing military clothing and pretending to be a revolutionary.) And we see Uncle Albert. John being a family man. I took these as metaphoric, because both Halsey and Albert were real people. Albert Kendall, Paul's uncle. And admiral Halsey, a real life admiral who Paul described as representing older bullish generation. Listening to Paul mocking Admiral Halsey and then the lyrics go on to dismiss even a care about Halsey, as Paul's butter pie was more pressing to him. Hence good riddance to John. At least at the time. Again, Paul did reconcile with John and did stop performing this song live as well.
Paul's said the song was sort of an apology to the older generation from the youth. It's the one song that I haven't felt Paul was completely honest about the meaning of it. Surely my own interpretation is wrong. But the similarities are rather uncanny and strange. Even if coincidental. It's fun to think about. Even if I'm probably wrong.
It doesn't mean anything. It's just great music.
Long been my favorite Paul song. First heard it about 50 years ago, though it took awhile to learn the correct title. We called it Hands Across The Water. Jesus, dude, you couldn't have picked a worse spot to interrupt the song. You broke the flow from one part into the other, a key part of the song. Its like looking at half a painting, then looking at the other. Art is meant to be as the artist presents it.
McCartneys music is not the type to be analytical about. Trust me you'll enjoy it more. Definitely not all meaningless, but it was just freedom from traditional restraints.
You had to be there. Things didn't have to make sense, it just had to sound good. This is right after the Beatles broke up. Sad times for us back then.
You have heard Linda before. She was a part of Wings.
Whatever you want the meaning for you to be
Let go drift down stream
He said they were sorry for not doing a bloody thing all day..
He's sorry he hasn't done a bloody thing all day.
Don't overthink a song. It doesn't always tell a story, have a message or deep meaning. Sometimes it's just to please the ears and the soul.
Got to Number 1 in USA
Great song
Paul's 2nd album, post Beatles - 1971, and, for me, still his finest non-Beatles work. Love it, always have, always will....by Paul & Linda McCartney - released 1971.
Think Paul wrote this while the Beatles were still together but broke up before they could release this song. Paul then put it out as he went solo.
Poor Brad - just can't enjoy the music/song. Has to over analyze the crap out of everything. At least he admits to being lost & clueless. SMH
Linda was a well known photographer. (A member of the Eastman-Kodak empire.) This song came out the same year as The Yes Album and Fragile by Yes......suites were becoming the norm.
Linda was not a member of the Eastman-Kodak empire. That was a rumor spread around when she first dated Paul. It was quickly debunked.
Linda Eastman McCartney is NO RELATION to the Eastman -Kodak empire. NO one in her own family was related to the them. Just because she was a photographer and her last name was Eastman, people ASSUMED that was the connection. Her family surname was really Epstein, (NO RELATION to the Beatles manager Brian Epstein), but was later changed to "Eastman." Her father was a famous show business/entertainment business LAWYER. Her brother is ALSO a Lawyer for the entertainment business.
