              Dawg, johnnymain thought up some good 'uns, wish I had (am jelly), good job, johnny

              What song is "Big Red Barn" in? Or is that its title? Yeah I think it is, has the big barn bed, in it... Granddaddy used to a big red barn  in his  back yard. Makes me sad to know it's gone. (well, all things must pass away)

              Another Paul place in song: "Beautiful Night" I suppose the night (and day) could be construed as a location (?).

              "Daytime/Nighttime Suffering" I quite fancy that one, Macca

              I think there's a very long blues number on a bootleg: "Atlantic Ocean"-- that little ditty goes on and on (like the ocean); seems interminable, like many blues songs.  it's cool, though

                  On the subject of Big Barn Bed, a few months ago I suggested (requested) the song for the 'jukebox' on a local BBC radio station... and they played it. Not a Wings song that's played very often on British radio I would have thought.

                    I was in my rental car in Cleveland, OH  and turned the radio on. It was tuned to a station that was having a ‘70s weekend. They then proceeded to play Let ‘Em In! Nearly ran off the road! 😂

                        Paul didn't write this one, but it's a song he sang with the Beatles, and later during his solo years... and is a location... so it sort of counts as one of his songs, lol

                                          This happened to me just this morning.  I went to my usual convenience store (a gas/food place called WAWA which is big in Philadelpia, New Jersey and now Florida.  Anyway, as I walked in to get my coffee, their playlist was playing "Pipes of Peace".  It really surprised me because they normally play Top 40 Pop.  Sounded great by the way and it was totally unexpected.  Maybe because it is the Christmas season and they are mixing in Christmas songs too.

                                            @fast-city-line said in Questions for Mr. McCartney:

                                            I have a thousand questions I could ask Paul. Most of them have to do with technical musical questions, including the songwriting process. For instance, I would like him to talk about the underrated factor of tempo in song composition. It's like for any given song, there's a perfect tempo for it, and it just wouldn't be right if it were faster or slower. So my question would be does the tempo just come to you automatically at the beginning or do you sometimes have to work on figuring out what the right tempo would be? And if it's the latter, which songs did you have difficulty working out the tempo, and how did you settle on it?

                                            Another question would just to kind of prod him to expatiate at length on something that I got just a tiny glimpse of in one of his answers to an interviewer (who typically didn't pick up on it and only wanted to talk about blandly general stuff and the Beatles days etc.) And that was he mentioned how he finally settled on the name Eleanor Rigby for that song. For a while, he was going to use Father McCartney, but he kept thinking that wouldn't be right, so he and John scoured the phone book looking for names (how fun -- before the internet!) And soon enough he found the name Eleanor Rigby and knew instantly that was perfect. Part of that process involves he said it had to be the right number of syllables. Also it had to come off the lips just right in terms of which parts of the name are flowing and which parts are percussive, etc. So I would like him to then use that as a jumping off point to talk generally about coming up with lyrics and and how things that aren't necessarily deep and meaningful but just technical, are also important parts of the process.

                                            I'll post my other 998 questions when I have some free time.

                                            You are new here, so you don’t know we’ve talked about this at length here. Eleanor was from Eleanor Bron, who starred in Help! with them And Rigby was from a store Paul saw. In just a minute I will post a photo of the plaque with their name. And Paul looked through the phone book to find the name McKenzie!

                                            There is an Eleanor Rigby buried in St Peters Church, in Woolton Village. Some say Paul might have notice it subliminally. Incidentally, Eleanor Rigby lived in the same road as Ivan Vaughn. And as we know, it was Ivan that introduced Paul to John. Another coincidence is that both Ivan and Paul share the same birthday.
