      I somehow just discovered this one. What are your thoughts on it?

        Love it. Should have been on Pure McCartney over a couple of songs that most of us have already referenced.

          Sounds like Flaming Pie era b-side material. Very uninspiring.

            Another beautiful, heartfelt song... Was this on an album?

              Is this the song used in the Robert De Niro movie soundtrack?

                Yes, Susy. He performed it for a brief period in concert and I was fortunate to hear it in Arizona in 2010.

                  I see it also has been performed by Tom Jones.

                    Susy, Yes it was. Unfortunately it didn't do well. I think it was called "Everybody's Fine". Shame it wasn't a big hit or Paul's song would have been better known. Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale were also in it. I have never seen the movie but it had good people. I guess the script wasn't very good. I like the way the word "home'' is repeated in the lyrics.

                      Thanx for info. Song seems a bit simplistic, but probably becomes more distinctive with extra listenings. It does have a pleasing warm quality. I've got that DVD, never watched it, I should. I hope he does more songs for movies. I recall what a nice surprise it was when his song "Vanilla Sky" played over the credits in the Tom Cruise film

                        So-so. Not bad, but definitely not close to top-tier McCartney.

                          I love it! It's as good as anything from Chaos, IMO. It would fit right in on that album

                            I agree. Paul has done this style so many times better in his career, it's almost impossible to be objective. Paul's voice also takes this song down a notch for me. Very much in 'Flaming Pie' era style. But listen to any of the ballads from that album, and this song doesnt hold a candle to any of them.

                              I like his playing the piano on this, the warmth of the vocals and melody and the poetic images

                                Just a song. Not enough melody for me. Both a little punctuated and lazy vocally for me.

                                  It's nice, but I've never heard of the movie. That's kind of weird that a Robert De Niro movie can come out and I don't even know it exists.

                                    I absolutely adore this song, one of my favourite from his late career ballads. Surprised it seems to split opinion as much as it does.

                                      __________________________________________________________ I love it too, Rocky Boy. As a late period Paul song, it should have been on Pure McCartney rather than something like Bip Bop.

                                        This song is a spritely more uptempo piano ballad, unlike that piano song featured at the end of the album "New"which I love for its deep feeling, sounds beautiful, is beautiful, with its line about a Bird
