Paul's trying to turn 'My Valentine' into a standard

BOYCIE:
I think My Valentine is a very good song, but i don't think it's a classic Paul song. I could name a few more that might be up their as classics if they were Beatle recordings and not Paul post Beatle. TUG OF WAR WANDERLUST TOO MUCH RAIN NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS I could go on.
But My Valentine has a 1940's air about it. It's fits so comfortably alongside the other standards on Kisses. I think that's why it's being described as a "standard," so much. It could have been written in the era of Poter, Berlin, Arlen and the Gershwins.

"My Valentine" is going to be a classic because it will be the only Paul song to be re-released on 17 different versions of the same album.
If I recall there were quite a few different versions of No More Lonely Nights out there as well! I love that song, but I can think of at least 4 versions in between the GMRTBS soundtrack and various 12" mixes out there.

He played it again last night on SNL as well as the Sandy benefit concert. I've even heard "reviewers" saying its a classic. The next step is for a big movie to use it or a popular artist to cover it & sell millions. I dont know. To my ears, it doesnt even approach his classics like 'Yesterday'.
I had put 'kisses' to bed (proverbially) for a while and thus hadn't heard anything from that album in a while...and I have to say that given that 'time out', the song My Valentine sounded refreshingly 'Classic Paul' like...LOL Although I liked the song well enough upon release, I don't think I had put that much stock into it and was surprised at how 'welcomed' it felt during the 'Sandy' performance

Just listened to a great cover of My Valentine on YouTube. Kind of an R&B version. Check it out:
It's cool. -

It's cool.And that is exactly why Paul should ghostwrite for young artists filled with feel. That version is better than Paul's I'd say. Love it.

He's giving us waaay too much "face." And he needs to learn the actual chords. Nice vocal, but he's over-acting, I'd say.

I like the vibe, he's a pretty hammy performer but you can tell really feels what he does, I liked that version. I bet I could do a better one, but very similar in style to theirs, but I would vary the rhythm guitar more, using the upbeat notes like he does, but have nore variations. actually I probably wouldn't be able to sing it as good as he does and like you say, get all the litttle chords in the middle 8 right. add the beauty that is due such a fine song. Paul is great with flashes of chord variations, that end up being integral to the sound. My Baby's Request is like flexing his mastery of that. even more so, Golden Earth Girl is like heaven with the way the chords come together via various sounds and instruments.

He can stick his melisma. Paul's tender version anyday for me.

Nice choice of words and vocabulary, melisma! totally. Not sure I mind that kind of thing, but this singer was pretty jerky in his accents, and just a bit too much. Plus the songs Paul's so its done how he wants it and thats a sweet version no doubt. I do think the other one (or one like it done better) would have better 'commercial' potential. the songs are there to be taken and rocked on
