A new version of "Heart Of The Country" by Paul
-
It isn't particularly faithful to the original melody, is it? Sounds a bit haphazard.
-
Interesting video! I wish the full recording had been included in the deluxe edition of RAM.
-
Paul could've sang it in its original arrangement if he wanted to. His falsetto voice is very much robust and vigorous. His recent re-recording of "Baby's Request" is another reminder that he still has his ol' vocal magic here n' there.

May be I'm so sensitive now (for personal issues) but hear this version makes me cry, not for his voice wich is still nice, but thinking how much he loved Linda, and how much he does till today, is a love who never dies...
-
Flippin love it

Love the animation on this and the clear, clean vocal, too. What a great song. Anyone else realize that this year -- on April 17th to be precise -- marks the 15th anniversary of Linda's passing.
The animation looks like a tribute to her -- whether or not it's for her food company, it's brilliantly done. And isn't Paul participating in some exhibit of Linda's photography in March, somewhere in Austria? I'm guessing -- and hoping -- we'll see a few tributes to honor this lovely woman on the 15th anniversary of her death.

Paul tweeted about this video: From Paul: "Great to see Linda animation up on YouTube - looks great - love it"

It's lovely and very well animated. Anyone spot Martha at the end?? I actually like Paul's snippet on Heart of the Country and the harmonica. We just have to appreciate that's how he sounds now. Definitely for LM foods as we have the little heart symbol at the end which is now on all of the packaging.

like it,... not long enuff.. like the subject. the actual video....

I love you to pieces, Audi, but this post is just delusional. This was painful to listen to. The new "Baby's Request" is passable, but just a shadow of the original.

always good to hear something of Paul just messy around on a riff, thats how it sounds to me, what is that a recent recording? nowhere near the quality of the official recording, obviously. I'd like to hear Paul do that song, he should put it in the live set!

Check out the main site. Elvis Costello does a voice over for the animated Heart of the Country!

"I did a new mega simple version of 'Heart Of The Country' for the Linda animation on YouTube," McCartney posted on Twitter on Wednesday. AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!

?I read on FB today the first video was leaked. Now one can see the entire commercial with Costello's voice over
-
I think that it's a beautiful version. It deserves to be a full length song though. I don't think his voice is that bad that to be honest. It's just different. The way i've described it in the past is that his voice has a patina. McCartney being McCartney I think he can make it work to his advantage.
-
I think it is very cool! Meant to be background for the commercial. Dylanish harmonica is neat. The animation is terrific! Podgie (what a treat!) Monkey
-
I wonder who played the harmonica?
