      Love how Paul simply lets us know what he's going through after the Beatles breakup and how much Linda did for his musical recovery. He put this together all on his own, playing all the instruments himself, first of 3 albums in this real solo style. Linda did some backing vocals. This was the album of his finding his own identity, before moving forward into Wings. He learned his vocal 'screaming' from Little Richard, who taught him how to do it to protect his vocal chords.

    From the first of three albums where McCartney plays all the instruments himself ( McCartney (1970), McCartney II (1980) and McCartney III (2020)). McCartney is quoted as saying that of all the songs he wrote or recorded, this is the one he would most like to be remembered for - which is quite something when you think of the amazing catalogue of songs he has been involved in.

      It's all great, but I prefer Paul's early hits for the best pure R&R, straight no chaser. Like I'm Down, Beatles 65, which in my view is the best pure R&R ever, and probably one of the last albums before the hippie days and concept albums came in, and launched them into an even higher level of brilliance. However, No Reply, on the 65 album launched many top musicians to take up the guitar or Rock. Chris Hillman of Byrds said that was the song, as did others.

    George Harrison wrote one of the greatest love songs ever to his then wife, Patty Boyd. That song - "Something."
    Paul McCartney wrote this love song to his biggest love, his wife Linda.
    Differences between the styles of the two songs is that George sang his song with an easy vocal, sensual, like he's laying in bed next to her singing the song.
    Paul, on the other hand, sang his song with pure, ramped up passion. When he sang his song, you KNOW he meant every word he sang.
    Both songs are great. The talent that was all four members of the Beatles will never be equaled.

    • @dyanapomp
      @dyanapomp 3 года назад +1

      Main difference to me is that Paul wrote his song from the heart, with true feelings and passion behind the lyrics. George wrote the song for no one, he said he just wanted to create a love song (after lying and telling Pattie it was for her) and he needed help from his bandmates for the lyrics, so yeah.
      Also, I'm gonna leave this quote here:

    One of Paul's best songs. Great vocals, great instrumental choices, and that chromatic piano riff is just iconic now. WIth respect to the chucka-chucka muting on the guitar, that's a good example of something the Beatles did well: when you repeat a section, change something up every time.

    When The Who released The Who Sell Out and the “I Can See For Miles” single, the group once again caught McCartney’s attention. When he wrote “Helter Skelter,” McCartney said he wanted to top the raucousness of “I Can See For Miles.”

    • @johnp515

      McCartney never named “I Can See For miles” as the song. He said that he’d read in a magazine that Pete Townsend said that The Who were recording “the loudest, dirtiest song ever” and he thought about doing that himself, as a challenge,. Only retrospectively did people try to work out which song was current for The Who and it happened to be “I Can See For Miles” but obviously that song, as released, is not particularly heavy let alone the loudest, dirtiest ever so no one actually knows which song it was or whether The Who even recorded such a song at that time

    "Maybe I`m Amazed" was originally going to be on the Beatle`s "Let It Be" Album but Paul hung onto it knowing the Beatles were going to break up & released on this - his first solo album. He plays, sings, engineered and produced the entire album by himself. Linda helps out on some of the vocal harmonies. A really great tune he did was "Live & Let Die". A tune he wrote for the James Bond film. The production on "Live & Let Die" is one of the best ever heard. Also one of the best live performances of a song I was lucky enough to have heard.

    This can stand alongside anything he did with The Beatles. One of the greatest recorded vocal performances of all time. The production was very deliberate, but still has that sort of in the basement by myself feel. He always got tagged as the "cute" Beatle who degenerated into soft pop later on (somewhat justifiably) but when he felt like rocking out, he really could. This is also one of those songs that 40 different artists could cover, and all have interesting takes on. Faces with Rod Stewart did a great live version...

Because there is a dance that came from it. It is a line dance, learned by preschoolers, that is very, very good exercise.

    I’m glad you reacted to the studio version first! Paul McCartney played all of the instruments in the studio version.

Same kind of guitar played by George Harrison (and later Peter Ham of Badfinger, who Harrison gifted his SG to). Jimmy McCulloch was in another band with Pete Townshend called Thunderclap Newman. They released an amazing song called “Something in the Air” that you should definitely hear. As far as George Harrison goes, his song “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)” is exactly what the world needs right now. 💟☮️

    I'll recommend George Harrison's song "Apple Scruffs" from the "All things must pass" album. Incidentally, "All things must pass" from 1970 was a TRIPLE album that came in an actual box. Double albums were not unheard of back then, but triple albums were usually reserved for Anthologies and "boxed sets" for people who had very lengthy careers. Naturally, as a triple album it was quite expensive. Many fans complained that it should have been a double album, and that there wasn't enough good content to justify it being a triple.

      Todd is Godd... anything everything.
      (Those who know, understand)
      Hello It’s Me is a very personal song for me - it just can’t be rated, I’d probably cry (my hello-boy is now dead, waiting on the other side).
      The first Todd I fell for was We Gotta Get You A Woman. I’d love the boys to react to that. For laughs, maybe Bang Yer Drum...
      they might like his prog stage - he even dabbled in interactive soundtracks a couple decades ago. The man became the brains behind so many contemporary artists. His genius is both subtle and precise. Godd.

    Just swung by to say: the (famous) live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" *may* be "S" tier. ;)

    Maybe someone will tell me they shared a stage in the 70s but I definitely would be amazed if Bowie and Paul got together, just on pure musical talent alone I think it would have blown our minds.RIP David Bowie.

    Gentlemen,. I have reviewed the subscribers totals for other channels reacting to similar songs and genres of music. Some have over 600k subscribers, some have broken 100k in short order. My analysis has revealed a serious bias. there is a horrible and pernicious bias against reactors with actual musical knowledge and ability and this is negatively affecting your subscriber numbers and is why your subscribers are so loyal. You impart knowledge in addition to feel. Keep it coming. Cheers.

      There’s probably a lot of truth to that, haha. We’re cool with it, we compare ourselves to who we were yesterday more than others, hence why I think our set/production is the cleanest, and we still have work to do. Part of it also falls on how many videos we drop, many channels drop like 10-15 a week, we believe in quality over quantity. We grow slower but as you see it’s stronger and more stable, like a tree. No interest in this channel ‘blowing up’ overnight. Just consistency, cheers friend! 😁

      Prob true, and we’ve talked about it and have stuff in the works and basically agreed if we drop more content it’s going to be other content that will be fresh/overlap well with you guys rather than just throwing more of the same. Where we can use things like Deep Cut streams to give more reactions without muddying up the water. We have some interviews with people planned and feel that will be a great content type for you guys as well as for our growth, we’ll see how things go, just very excited for 21’ and to give you guys everything we’ve got.

      @@andyandalex You don't want blow up over night anyway. There are a lot of songs in the world, but they are not infinite, and not everyone likes them all. Eventually, all music reactors burn through the classics, and end up struggling to find songs that have their own large fan base.

    Check out his triple live album “Wings Over America “. There is a KILLER version of Maybe I’m Amazed, along with other solo stuff, as well as Beatles. One of my favorite live albums.

    I'm amazed..every time I hear it! Play it again and you always pick up more. The softness, the hard rock banging, the soulful piano and one of the most recognized guitar solos in history! It's all in the title & EVERY time I play it I play it loud & then I play it again so I won't miss anything!
