Good Times Coming / Feel The Sun
-
So I?ve really become a big fan of this track since purchasing the Press To Play vinyl. A total highlight from that album for me. 80?s Paul really capturing something sweet
I get the feeling on it of listening in on him having a nostalgic thought 
Like he?s talking directly to us, letting us into the personal sunny feeling he?s having, and also wishing for us that we might all feel that same sun shining in. pretty spacey and dream like, right? Really fresh. So good. It?s a pretty simple tune too, done just right. I totally feel it and for me its a perfect lyric for the vibe. I?m loving it now? laughin at the good times comin in Good Times Coming / Feel The Sun 
so I guess I could have put all this in the "Paul song of the Day" thread 
but anyone got a thought by chance on laughing at the good times comin in

He felt so carefree, no troubles or worries
It's a great song. Smooth and bouncy too at the same time -
I've always loved the song, especially after hearing the longer (7 min.+) unreleased version of it.
-
It has always been one of my favourites as well! I like the contrast between the two song parts..I feel Good Times Coming is melancholic and then everything just explodes when Feel the Sun begins..great!

While I have a certain amount of nostalgia for that album and listen to it from time to time... I think it's one of his weakest. Although this tune is pretty good it's also so repetitive and smothered in 1980s keyboards. It's a good melody though. To me it would have been better if he'd used it with a few other half-finished ideas to string together one song that sounded a little more complete. And by half-finished ideas I'm of course referring to the rest of the album.

Paul has said that the verse " we did'nt need a reason ...just a rest" .....was about The Beatles always working..just fyi
-
My favourite song on the album, & proberly in my top 5 Macca tunes ever, loved it from the first listen....24 years ago
Loved it when I also heard the full length bootleg version, wish he had kept it like that on the official release. -
One of my favorite tracks from the album.
Always puts me in a better mood. -
Yes, it's probably my favourite on the album. It's hard to think that in Q magazine in '86, they said Press To Play was up there with RAM,McCartney and Band On The Run as one of Paul's best album.It's stock has certainly fallen since then,i think even NME gave it a reasonable review,shock horror.

Paul said himself on an '86 MTV special about the album that he had been told by a few that it was the best thing he'd done since Band On The Run. All I know is that I was barely a teen when the album came out, and it was the first Paul McCartney album I ever owned -- and grew to love! In college, I'd loaned my cassette to a friend, and it took him weeks and weeks to return it to me. It was because of Press To Play that I bought Tug Of War and grew to love that album, as well.
-
It did get some good reviews at the time & I for one thought it was by far the best thing he'd done for years. If FITD had'nt come along it would easily be my favourite album of his from the 80's.

i agree 'maccamad'. i dont even care if 'press to plays' creator goes along with the 'press was a crap album' line these days because i love it. if the music press gave it some good reviews at the time then they were spot on for a change. maybe it was mccartneys record buying public who were not ready for it at the time.perhaps another box office duet with someone like michael jackson would have kept them happier?
