Wow! Yes, there is a real similarity - if you just listen to the line 'Yesterday, I believed my love was here to stay' it has a melodic similarity. Also the bit where he says 'Just what sin have I been guilty of' reminds me of Wanderlust too. I reckon THIS is the song Paul heard in his dream.Latest posts made by thetoot

RE: Golden Earth Girl
It's also a beautifully produced track too. I'm not a massive fan of the egg shell seas/in excelsis word-play but it does carry on the Catholic connection of Biker Like an Icon as well as the punning thing too and he just about gets away with it. wink

RE: Is he ignoring the UK
I think part of the criticism of Paul here in the U.K is that he comes across as a bit shallow, or a bit fake - and that he is past his best. This might seem completely ridiculous to people from other countries, but I think that a lot of the hostility has to do with his hair and his face-lift. Crazy as it sounds, Brits really really don't like facelifts and people dying their hair in an obvious way as it comes across as symbolic of some kind of fakery. Yes, it's a silly point of view, but take that, coupled with the almost over-glossy nature of what many people have seen from his live set and you can sort of understand the criticism. Remember, most Brits have no idea whatsoever about the amazing back catalogue he has and think that he only did something in The Beatles, so when he then goes out and seemingly only plays Beatles songs on live t.v, coupled with the other stuff, you have the roots of the criticism. He doesn't deserve it though and he is a national treasure.

It Shouldn't Have Been a Single
Sometimes Paul makes some odd single choices. Which songs do you think should have stayed as album tracks, b-sides or just in the can? Probably the obvious one for me is 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish' but how about you?

RE: "One Of These Days"
Beatles4Ever&Ever:
What's sad about the whole thing is that a lovely song such as "One of The Days" just sort of appeared and disappeared simultaneously in 1980. It got no recogniton...except, seemingly, from a few fans who bought McCartney II. The public at large is totally unfamiliar with this beautiful song. Seems wrong. Paul seems to have lots of little gems tucked away/buried in albums that go virtually unnoticed. Another one of those, for me, is "Don't Let It Bring You Down" from London Town. Love that song. How many people actually know about it...or tons of others he has?
I absolutely love 'Don't Let it Bring You Down' - actually I think it's my favourite McCartney song
