New Macca song called "Get Enough" coming out at midnight
-
I even like the brief auto tuned part. It reminds me of the exuberant Cher and The Cher Show.

Yes, the harmonies and melody during the bridge are fantastic!! Hope it's in the '19 set list.

I think he's remembering Linda. Wanting to see her again, wondering if he ever will. The way you feel about lost loved ones, wanting to see them again, so much.

Kestrel! Why would he be writing like that about Dot Rhone?
ETA: I just read your post about the docks, so who knows. I just didn’t think he’d be writing a song about her saying he can’t get enough. Unless he was putting himself back in the past and talking about how he felt then. He did almost marry her when he was nearly 18 and she got pregnant. He would have, if she hadn’t had a miscarriage. There would be no Paul in the Beatles if that hadn’t happened. He would have had to have gotten a “real job!”

Maybe without the autotune!

Copied from another board:
He talked about the song in GQ last year. Maybe it would have been on the super deluxe edition.
McCartney proceeds to tell me that he recently used Auto-Tune on a song—one that's not even on his new album—and how he worried for a moment about it. "Because I know people are going to go, 'Oh no! Paul McCartney's on bloody Auto-Tune! What have things come to?'… At the back of my mind I've got Elvis Costello saying, '****ing hell, Paul!'" But then he considered it some more, and what he thought was: "You know what? If we'd had this in the Beatles, we'd have been—John, particularly—would be so all over it. All his freaking records would be…"
McCartney demonstrates a version of how he'd imagine a modern-day John Lennon singing in an extreme Auto-Tune warble, and then he gets out his iPhone and plays me some of the song in question, another collaboration with Ryan Tedder, called "Get Enough," which has an emphatically full-on Auto-Tuned McCartney vocal, plenty more than would be required to horrify any passing purists. It also sounds pretty good.
"Come on, man," says McCartney. "You can't be so straitlaced to not expose yourself to experiences in life." -

Its so specific in detail that I think it has to be about someone and the feeling I get from the lyrics is that Paul is remembering someone from a long time ago. So I think he is putting himself back in the past,a past that was well before Nancy,Heather,Linda,Maggie or Jane came along.
Of course it might be the Hamburg docks and he's refering to some bird he was knocking off when the Beatles were first playing in the city. Or it might be about a dog !! Who knows?
-
Maybe it was the docks where Nancy's family has trucks? I, too, doubt that it is about someone from so long ago.
-
Weird but - assuming it’s one of the Tedder produced songs - I like it !!!
Much more than Fuh you or the truly awful Nothing for free.
This will be Paul’ s first Top Ten Hit in 30 years !
-
A few more listens and .....I LOVE IT .
I usually hate everything with auto tune.... and this certainly is “in your face” auto tuned. But I can’t help it - can’t get enough of Get Enough.
From a marketing point of view it’s completely crazy to release The Who Cares Video and 2 weeks later drop this song. But I guess by now Paul thinks : Who cares ? ( or in the words of the late great Michael Jackson Don’t stop til you get enough !)

I think it's about someone from his past, because the lyrics seem to say he's erased those days from his mind, and left them all behind... (see words in bold below)
It was a time we were all full of hope
Saw the future burning bright
As we watched the moon rollin' out
To sea
Do you remember?
But those days are erased from my mind
Yeah, I've left all those old days behind
But still I remember your face
Forever.

He was working with Ryan Tedder on this song along with Fuh You. I think Paul had unfinished songs & they completed them. Much of this could have been made up on the spot. I've heard people say it was about John!
And Frank! I love Nothing For Free! It rocks!
Frank says:the truly awful Nothing for free

It's very sensitive, emotional, a stunning contrast to "Come On To Me." I love it, I think.

Kestrel didn’t quote my entire post - I DO think it is about Dot. And it sounds like Kestrel is leaning that way too (if we had to make an educated guess)

OMG, now that’s crazy! It is clearly about a female. (I’m not calling you crazy - I know you were just saying what you had read!)

I love the lyrics, but dislike the music. Maybe it will grow on me, but I doubt it.

If I could get the damn “You Gave Me The Answer” thing to work, I’d ask Paul! There was another question I had, but now I can’t remember what it was! Can anybody get that to work to submit a question?

I gave the song a lot of listens. I wanted to like it. I tried to like it. But, I just don't. It's making Pretty Little Head sound like a melodious gem.

I don't think it has to be about anyone.
