New song featuring Paul, "Love Song to the Earth"
-
As far as group charity songs go, this one is actually pretty good. My only quip is that the title / chorus is a bit corny. they could have come up with a better line. But the female voices on the song are amazing. I like the hip hop element in the song. It's great to see Fergie back.

I can respect an artist (or anyone, for that matter) standing up for what they believe in, even if I don't agree. But this does not excite me, as a fan of Paul's music. However, I do understand why he did it.

Paul sings the second bit of the first verse after the female at the start.. he also does the harmony to the first chorus and the second verse!
Doesn't he come in at about 1:20?
Does he? I walked out at 0:20

Hideous. We heard McCartney pitch corrected on almost every official release since ?Good Evening Auto-Tune City?, but butchered beyond being recognisable??! And I only mention his feature because the song, production-wise and composition-wise, is an absolute turd.
Nancy R:
[..] And the other guy sounds like Kanye (rapping)
No, he doesn't at all...
That's Sean Paul, lol. A thick Jamaican accent doing a dancehall bit. Kanye West wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole. Quality control McCartney seemed to have completely lost these days...

Sorry for my "ignorance" but I have no clue about rappers! We must agree to disagree about the song.

Stick a "c" in front of rappers, Nance. It all becomes crystal clear.

I copy paste all the time across the boards, the usernames should've gave away a hint ages ago, haha.

Oh I've been aware for ages. I enjoy your work: don't always agree but that's normal.

The original YouTube link has been taken down,but Rolling Stone has now posted the official video: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-mccartney-bon-jovi-fergie-team-for-love-song-to-the-earth-20150908 I still can't hear Paul, though. But it's nice to see Jane Goodall make a brief appearance near the end. She's a genuine hero.

I recognized Paul's voice and Sheryl Crow. Otherwise, it might as well have been people shouting in traffic.

Same view as nobodytoldme or me? *confused* I'm guessing you meant nobodytoldme.

The quotes are messed up - and they still are, but I can't be bothered to fix it now, even more so when this could've been so easily avoided if the board would've been updated somewhere in the last 8 years... :'). But he did mean me, haha.

Hi, The quoting has now been corrected. Misquoting has nothing to do with the board's lack of updates. Unfortunately some members are not as proficient at quoting as others. I do my best to help where I am able to do so, but I have been extremely busy offline yesterday (children back to school) and today. As to the board's lack of updates, hopefully that issue will be resolved once action is taken in regard to the survey - fingers crossed! In future, please feel free to drop a private message if ever I may assist, it is my pleasure to do so!

Actually, I expected much worse. The lyrics though were pretty ordinary. And they really forced some of those lyrics into tight spacing. But overall pretty lazy. Not doing it for me.

Jesus, that's bad. Why does Paul get involved with this kind of garbage?
