This was an amazing point in Macca's journey where he co-wrote a handful of tunes with Elvis Costello, a genius foil who is very much John Lennon's equal. Without John, Paul often would wander into unchecked territory that pandered to some of his worse instincts. My Brave Face and Veronica (released by Elvis on Spike!) were the 2 big hits from this pairing. There is also the very dark So Like Candy that Elvis released on his Mighty Like a Rose release. Both these cats are the best in the business of songwriting, and Elvis added that acerbic point of view that is missing from Paul's perspectives. You could not have made a better pairing, but save for John Lennon himself. How incredible that Elvis Costello (Declan McManus) used to be in the Beatles Fan Club when he was ten years old! EC's father Ross, a popular singer in the Joe Loss Orchestra, shared the bill with the Beatles when they performed for Royalty. Elvis's da Ross brought home all the Beatles's autographs for his young son. How incredible that little boy would grow up to be a powerhouse songwriter of similar stature to John and Paul. And that is why I describe Elvis Costello (and Paul Weller too!) as The Beatles v.2.0! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Brave_Face
I'm a long-time and very big Paul/Beatles fan, but I totally agree with your comments. Paul's numerous "making of" videos are not only boring, but pretentious, self-indulgent ego trips that take the mystery away from the creative process. Fact is, he's an egomaniac who loves taking about himself and how writes his songs and makes his videos etc.
This is actually the first "Making Of" video that I've come across of Paul's. So I'm not sure what you mean here. I've never looked at Paul as an egomaniac. If he was an egomaniac I don't think he'd be such a private person.
Lot of Macca haters here..get lost ppl.. This band rocks! Hamish: Average White Band Robbie: Pretenders & co Chris: do Wixie: do Linda: do ♥ Dont like it, dont watch it. ♪

great song off a great album
Everyone has a dig at Macca but wouldn't we all liked to have written half the song that he has created?
The drummer is Chris Whitten, a magnificent drummer, truly underrated.

Good McCartney tune
Uploaded in 2006??? Whoa!!!!

NICE! Thank you, I loved it.
Yes, he's an egomaniac ... but he's a charming, successful, and extremely talented egomaniac.

He can do no wrong.
