    I had this record on one night a lonnnngg time ago, sitting with some friends, doing my first trip (Yikes)...well, I couldn't get off the couch and change the record. This album get going round and round, kept repeating on one of those old time turntables that get repeating...the arm just kept going back onto the record. MaCartney I is emblazoned in my brain and cells. My favorite record of his. I love it.

    I've been a HUGE fan of Paul McCartney's music and The Beatles for as long as I can remember, and was very lucky to get my hands on a ticket for the gig he played in Liverpool's Kings Dock back in 1990. Best concert I've ever been too, but this song will always be one of my all time favourite songs from his solo material...

    Happy belated Valentine's Day to you, Doug, and your lovely wife. I've always loved this song , but I've never seen the video you played and I have to say, when they showed the scenes of Paul with Linda and the kids, I was initially fighting back some tears. Paul and Linda had one of the most solid and loving relationships in the history of rock and then Linda dies of breast cancer....makes me question any type of order in the universe.

    The first thing I did after buying an electric guitar in 1970 was to buy the songbook for this album, McCartney. Thank you. It was great to celebrate V-Day with y'all. I can relate to so much of what you are saying. I can still play the guitar solo for "Maybe I'm Amazed" and the guitar part for "Oo You". The Beatles breakup and Paul's first solo album were so meaningful to me. It was my sophomore year in high school. I was playing third clarinet of the third clarinets at an outdoor concert when my Beatles cover bandmates told me about the breakup. We were just devastated. We didn't see it coming. We were working on covering "Get Back" at the time.

    So good! Much love to you both!!
    Also Marc Cohn's version kinda sounds like Clapton a bit...really reminds me of "Can't Find My Way Home".
    I rarely like covers of Beatles/solo Beatle songs, but that was good!
    Also Meg, you were spot on about how that neither version is better or worse but different as the tone of the relationship is expressed as the early days in Paul's...and that they've "been doin it awhile" in the Cohn version! So spot-on!

    Happy Valentine's Day! Love, love, love this song. Very nice cover by Marc, change it up to fit your style, but keep the essential ingredients in there. All the songwriters in the Beatles had gifts for how to start and finish their songs. That piano intro just announces that this song is going to be epic. Also, as a guitar player that is guilty of playing too many notes when it isn't necessary, just like everybody else, I really miss the Beatles ability to make memorable, melody-based solos in their songs, nobody seems to do it much anymore.

    Being from Liverpool, we appreciate this choice of my wife's fave Beatle (mine is John!)
    Btw - that voice (particularly when he goes high and almost screams) is always going to sound like The Beatles.... It's the voice from songs like Helter Skelter and the more "rock-y" Beatles stuff - completely distinctive - it can only be Paul's voice.

    I think it's fair to say that Maybe I'm amazed at one of Paul's best compositions, and at a very sensitive time. At the time of the recording in February 1970, the Beatles were only three, since John - which was not mentioned - strangely enough in September 1969, on the return flight from Toronto with his new band, said to Allen Klein on the plane that he was leaving the Beatles become. Strange because before that, after Abbey Road had finished mixing, all 4 met at the Apple office and there was no question of a split at all, but George said that the band could continue to work and everyone could release their solo projects.. What about John in Toronto changed his mind. I think Paul was also tired of losing 1:3 in various decisions and he was against Allen Klein anyway, and rightly so.

    Are musical notes, like numbers in mathematics, allowing the construction of new melodies infinitely?
