"APPRECIATE" NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE! IT WOULD GET

RMartinez:
ROAD? I don't think so. I will listen again to see if I am missing something. NEW was the first song put OUT THERE because it is clearly the most commercial song on the CD, maybe the ONLY commercial song on there. SAVE US has potential but I am not sure the hook is strong enough.
I was talking to jackpearson about Appreciate, which was the original topic of this thread.
-
There are no bad tracks on this album but Appreciate is probably my favourite. There's something hypnotic about it after a few listens. Some simple but strong lyrics too, and I love that sung "aah" chord at 3:07 that sounds like it was lifted straight out of "Because" on Abbey Road.

I really Appreciate this song!

Oh, I'm quite happy with 'Queenie Eye' being the single....for numerous reasons!! First, (as a big fan of The Beatles and Paul McCartney) I just think it's very very catchy...once the chorus kicks in...and is very well written and produced! Second,
As a gay guy, I can assure everyone it will be a big sing along at the gay bars. I mean, "Queenie Eye, queenie Eye, who's got the ball...not in my pocket...fan the flame...careful what you touch in case you burn**[...O.U.T. spells out, that's out, without a shadow of a doubt**....never blame circumstances if romances seldom came..." I mean. how can that NOT be a big sing along. Take my word for it!! Numerous songs...over the years...have become big mainstream hits because they were FIRST popular in gay bars and gay guys loved them. This will be a sing along just as Adele's funky "...rolling in the deep" was and still is in the bars. We love to sing those funky lyrics and we will love singing those of ....'Queenie Eye'!!!! Now, back to being just a regular fan....it's just a great song!! Thank you Pauls (McCartney & Epworth)....both of you!!!!!
-
Great groove on Appreciate! Love it....one of the best on the album. Love the echos the sonics...who is drumming on this? The guitar work towards the end is ferocious! The middle bars are a throwback to "bogey music". Anybody catching that?
-
That and I CAN BET..

You said it! Oh, if only we had our own bar that would play this song!

I do think "Appreciate" would make a great single too, if Paul could be a little bold.

Abe is listed as the drummer! Lists Paul as playing "Ciguitar," Keyboards and drums too! I freakin' love this song too!
-
'Appreciate' would have sounded perfectly on 'Press to Play'. But that was nearly 30 years ago! Now, its just a snore.
-
What are you smokin' Joey?
Oh, well, to each his own. Hey, what is that near the beginning of the song? Sounds like a baby crying!

The "ciguitar" would be that cigar box guitar he played with the Nirvana guys, right?

Correct

KCSN is doing their fund drive, and a woman for Concord Music Group came by to donate Paul swag bags for donations. I called in to request "Appreciate," and Les, the host, told the woman that he appreciated her for donating the bags and played the song in her and my honor. ;-D parlance

Agree with I Can Bet as single, not Appreciate.

Sorry but Queenie Eye is about a children's game. Paul:"Now this song, Queenie Eye, is based on a game we used to play when I was a kid." I wouldn't try to claim it as a gay song or for the gay crowd. P.S. don't be personally offended. Just setting the record straight.
-
They can interpret the words that way, though, if they want to, can't they? Ascribe their own significance to a line, that means something to them? Especially to the chant "Out." Paul should be alright with that. He's stated before that he likes to see what meanings people come up with, for his songs. It's interesting for him.

Doesn't have to have a gay origin to be claimed by the gay crowd. We're used to taking what we can get!

Personally I dislike Appreciate---But to each their own! If I had to pick a single after Queenie-Eye and New which I both LOVE! The next that I would say are the two best right up there are Alligator and the one starting to become my favorite.... HOSANNA! I can't get this song out of my brain! It is such a haunting and melodic sound to it.
