If Paul had never written another song he would still be remembered for this song.
Agree. 100%
According to the Guinness World Book Of Records, Paul McCartney was certified to be the most successful recording artist of all time in the late 1980's. If you disagree, take it up with Guinness😮😊
Paul and Linda were together for 29 years until her death from cancer. He was often criticized for writing silly love songs, so he wrote "Silly Love Songs" as a response. Every love song he wrote was for Linda.
And Jane Asher.
Back in 1980 Paul was busted fro bringing pot into Japan, a small bag of personal smoke. He spent several days in jail while facing potentially a multi-year prison sentence, and from what I understand it was the first time he slept alone without Linda since the day they were married. RIP Mrs. McCartney.
Yeah, I pretty much hated Silly Love Songs. Seemed like low hanging fruit for subject matter like he had run out of ideas.
@@fightman49 If you were right I surely would agree.
@@fightman49 He wrote that basically as a diss response song to Lennon insulting him saying something like All Paul does is 'silly little love songs'. It hurt Paul because, no, we all know Paul's writing credits, but he decided to turn it into a positive (with a little F U) and made an incredibly successful song that many people love.
Beautiful tribute to his wife! Rest in peace Linda! Thanks for
It certainly was beautiful... I love hearing these other sides of the fab 4. It's very... enlightening.
As I commented above (or is it below lol!) there is a side to Paul you haven't heard yet, and it's on his second album, Ram. I hope you can do something from that. You will be amazed (lol!) when you hear songs like Monkberry Moon Delight.@@L33Reacts
Linda was his soulmate that saved Paul when he was down and out after the breakup of The Fab 4!
This is just a flat out great song. Paul played every instrument on different tracks, and then Blended them and sang the lyrics. Paul is one of the most talented artists ever.
So not only did he play the parts of the other 3 Beatles, he also played George Martin’s role. No end to his talents!
The sheepdog is Martha. Martha My Dear was written about her.
Paul McCartney is easily in the top 10 of best songwriters of all time.
Recently, Bob Dylan was asked if there was anybody in the music business that he revered and his immediate answer was Paul McCartney.
🕊❤️🎼
Well, we know Bob has good taste 😊
Andrew Cole - Let me make this perfectly clear. The Guinness World Book of Records has Paul McCartney in as the most successful songwriter in music history. Don't say that he is in the top 10. This is doing a disservice to his talent. HE IS #1 and has been since the late 1980's.
@@smithaustin624Lennon and McCartney are number one. They made their reputation together.
How can people forget that John wrote at least 50% of their songs.@@gettinhungrig8806
Top 10?
Paul has kept us amazed for the last 60 years.
Hi Lee. It's a very honest song from a man that loves a woman completely. He understands he doesn't always do things right but with her, he is better. Love this song, I play it regularly in my solo show and it never fails to touch people. Take care Lee, be well.
It's a very touching song. I feel it extra hard as a "family man" but Paul Is a hell of a musician. I bet tons of people felt the same feeling I did.
I was 47 in 2003 . I seen just about every famous " Classic Rock " group in my time , including a 1973 Led Zeppelin and a 1975 , The Who with Keith Moon . But, when I saw Paul McCartney in 2003 , here in Dallas Tx . That was the first time I shed a tear at a concert. It was fantastic!!!
This tribute makes me think of how he lost his mother, Mary, when he was a young teen. He had a longing that I think Linda soothed him with.
His second wife was a terrible person who during their divorce, accused him of monstrous abuse.
His present wife, Nancy, seems to be a genuine person. I’m happy for him.
Nancy Lee here. Have a lovely Sunday!
Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy. (“Rocky Raccoon”, of course…)
Paul is a great father along with his musical abilities.
And a much loved 'grand-dude' now too, of course...
"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is a real kick to sit through.
His wife, Linda, was the person who helped him through The Beatles' breakup. It was very rough for Paul, they'd all gone through something that most humans will never experience, and he and John had been friends since they were young. When John started lashing out at Paul in the press, it was heartbreaking. Paul didn't know what was going to happen with his life but Linda kept him grounded, loved etc. She was a very down to earth person who kept him from falling apart & he found his direction, with her as his partner, for 3 decades.
Don't forget why John was lashing out. He had good reason after all!
@@lauraallen55 Please explain? Because of the Allen Klein debacle?
Partly, and also because Paul went to the press without saying anything to the rest of them. John had wanted to quit and was told to keep it under his hat for awhile. He also thought he should end the band he started. It felt like a betrayal to him.@@jpirard
Paul McCartney joins Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, John Lennon and Paul Simon in my pantheon of greatest songwriters of the rock era.
This is, to my ears, one of his most Beatles-like solo efforts. And it's my favorite. Haunting and beautiful
and Bowie
An absolute legend. MacCartney ain't bad either🤪Paul lives about 10 miles from me and he's often seen locally. In local pubs, walking through town. He's my favourite artist of all time, and how he can move us, like he has with you in this song and relate it to your own life is just brilliant. Awesome react man. Lots of love to you and your family mate😊
Edit. No one sings like him, or could replicate it. His range is incredible and he's quite underrated as a vocalist imo
the live version is amazing. You need to SEE THAT!!!
JUST what I was going to say!
Wings over America
Anything with Paul performing live is and was Amazing!
@@joelliebler5690 ABOSULTELY!!!! Here is the LINK for the Live 1976 WIngs performance czcams.com/video/x_FiIilTwIA/video.html

I don't know if you knew this already, but another song Paul wrote that is one I loved immediately is Martha My Dear is about Pauls sheep dog. Her name is Martha. Love that beautiful song.
I'm 68 just imagine all the great music you missed way better than the shit of today.
I’m your age but realized good music continues to be made. Stop listening to radio and go to a Tool show, or Gojira, Lamb of God, Pantera, Queens of the Stone Age… The 60s zeitgeist will never be repeated but you’re missing out if you’re stuck there.
From Paul's excellent first solo album. He played all the instruments on the album ❤
He is such a talented dude. I guess he really isn't "underrated" lol I just don't know it yet
Do your best to be the best father you can. You only get one chance to do it to the best of your ability.
@L33Reacts Yeah you need to give more than lip service to Paul McCartney. Maybe one day you will appreciate his genius.
This was a really exciting album to listen to back then, right after the Beatles broke up. Everyone was curious to hear what Paul would do. The album has such a handmade quality, and I like the way he played all the instruments and did all the vocals with Linda backing him up. "Maybe I'm Amazed" stood out as one of Paul's most beautiful songs ever.
The 10 year old girl is Heather (from Linda's first marriage) Paul adopted her. She is now a potter. The baby was Paul and Linda's first child, Mary, who is now a renown photographer. Paul's drum kit is based on Rin go's Beatle's kit which is to be expected as he played that kit many times in the Beatles sessions.
Heather was not 10 years old here, she was 6 years old
It wasn’t based on Ringo’s kit, it actually WAS Ringo’s kit.
You got it Little Brother! Every Real Dad, every Real Man, reacts the same way to this song..
It's perfect that you heard this beautiful, heart-on-sleeve, studio version first. This song was later re-released in a stunning, tear-out-your-heart live version, fortuitously recorded during a Wings performance wherein Paul just blows off the roof in an inspired, emotional performance. I love both versions and I'm sure, Lee, that you will, too.
"Another Day" might be my favorite Paul McCartney song but this one is truely wonderful.
"Another Day" is a beautiful song, as well.
McCartney was released about a month before the Let it Be album was released all amidst the groups public breakup. He was leaning hard on Linda to get through it.
The wings over america version is my favorite! but the studio version is also great.
This was during the Beatles break up. Paul was very lost and confused. And heartbroken because of his loss of his lifelong friends. They went to their farm which if you don't know McCartney is a huge environmentalist and loves nothing more than being outside riding his horses maybe not at 82 now but that was him and Linda's life with their family. Wonderful father. She brought him back. They started wings a year or two later. And the rest is history
Your Beatles' journey has been beautiful to watch. Thanks.
Thank you for that! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I love the journey as well.
Kinda getting to know you like a Bud Lee , thanks for being a friend in this situation 😀
I love when young people appreciate old (me) people's music!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Paul was around your age when he wrote this album. Great reaction, inspiring to witness, really. I remember my father playing this album for me when I was probably 12 or something and he was emphasizing that Paul played all the instruments.
This is my favorite solo Paul song.
Nice comments. Paul was a real family man and dad and that’s a great goal to aim for. I’m 56 now and had three daughters and a son. We have always been close and now that they’re all grown up and in their 20’s and 30’s, we’re as close as ever. Every moment you spend with your family is so valuable, and never wasted. And don’t worry, we can all get better and that’s the beauty of it. We learn through our mistakes and become better people for it. And being a Beatles fan is a great way to start! 😅
Heavily into the Beatles and gutted when they broke up so I rushed out to buy this album. This is my favourite off the album.
You got thru your 20s Lee, big props. It gets better. You’re making it better, and you’re committed to learning and being a better human. And when you’re my age you don’t give a fuck, live your own life and focus on contentment, for happiness is a dead end on the roadmap
His first solo album and my sentimental favorite. Sounds as fresh to me today as it did then,
Congratulations on 2 years! I always look forward to your reactions. There is usually much less problem posting The Beatles' individual work.
McCartney is becoming much more appreciated in his old age
It was the live version some 10 years later that became a top 10 hit!😮😊
Lee: Yes, his attention to detail is incredible. This song is a masterpiece. Go Paul. For a John Lennon song, check out either Gimme Some Truth or I'm Losing You.
Never underestimate any of the Beatles. They are all geniuses. He's also one of the most underrated rock tenors of all time. At least by those who don't know. ☺
I love this song; Paul is so heartfelt. Wishing you all the best, Lee for you and your family. ❤
Happy Birthday to your baby, Lee, and have a happy day to you too, Father !❤
Paul will be remembered for this song
You are going down a rabbit hole you will never get of. While none of them could replicate what they did in the Beatles (who can!), their solo work is great !
I know 🤣🤣 but it's OK... I love it. Next up I gotta get into some of John's solo stuff.
@@L33Reacts check out Jealous Guy by John.
Hi Lee, this is a great song and you’re right to check out Lennon’s solo work too. Their solo work is often overshadowed by the colossal genius of the Beatles but is usually excellent. Good luck with the 3 year old.
Yes!@@L33Reacts
@@L33Reacts - Here are 4 love songs... one from each Beatle shortly after they had broken up that you might want to check out...
"Every Night" Paul 1970, "Oh My Love" John 1971, "I'd Have You Any Time" George 1970 and "Photograph" Ringo 1973.
And here are one other song from each of them - you should check out...
"Working Class Hero" John 1970, "Live and Let Die" Paul 1973, "Beware of Darkness" George 1970 and "Back Off Boogaloo" Ringo 1972.
This song is just beautiful ❤️. It’s one of my favorites.
Great reaction to a great song from a great songwriter and performer... Happy Birthday to your 3 year old😊
another gem frm paul, one of my fav of his, gd 2 c it live 2, hge songwriter n performer 4 many decades, a star in v 70s n 80s,
When I had my first junior high crush, I listened to this song nonstop. Hits you hard at that age.
While this was great with Paul playing all of the instruments on his first solo album, the live version of the song on Wings Over America includes far more emotion, especially as he is singing to Linda on stage with the band. I saw Wings perform it live in 1974 and it's still my favorite Wings song/performance to date.
Agreed!
Agreed!!
He wasn’t on the McCartney album and, yes, he was part of Wings, but was not responsible for this particular song. It was still Paul’s song to Linda.
I know it was still Paul's song to Linda. I didn't say it wasn't? I thought Denny was on this album, my mistake.@@yankeeboyno7
Denny and others sang and played on the live version, so that's what I'm thinking of, I'm sure. :)
@@yankeeboyno7
Even Martha the dog gets in on the love.
Linda looks amazing in these pictures.
You can feel the emotion in the song....the awakening to real life...instead of screaming people...
( martha my dear...white album)
For me, the first two McCartney solo efforts are gold. Loved the first one but Ram has become my go-to . Dive deep! And Wings Over America.
Seeing Paul just being a husband and father on his own farm just made me see him so differently. An added respect for the kind of person I always knew he was.
Ram is a masterpiece in my opinion far above everything else he did.
This song really shows the amazing talent of Paul. While he was depressed at the break up of the Beatles he produced this masterpiece.
He wrote it before the Beatles broke up though.
Very much a family man with his heart on his sleeve in this song.
At the time this was written the lawyers were ripping apart the Beatles and all three of his band mates were seemingly against him and the general public was blaming him for the break-up, he was really leaning into Linda and this song shows it.
Sir Paul has a beautiful song called JUNK. I’m not sure what album is on. It’s just lovely.
People like Paul McCartney have so much talent and some people like me have none, don't you just hate them, lol
One of the most beautiful love songs ever...❤
Hopefully, this one will be the album version, it's more instinctive, rough, sincere and emotional...
I prefer when reactors listen to studio versions first
Live version fits your description.
@@lipby Live version fits your description.
@@Richard2003 I am interested in people experiencing these songs as I first experienced them, which was almost always the studio version
Agreed. The Wings live version is energetic and has its place, but it loses nuance and smooths over the varied dynamics and textures, not to mention that half of Paul's guitar duet with himself is missing live.
This is the original studio recording of what I think is his very best song in an incredible catalogue. He played most if not all of the instruments, IIRC.
Opposite of “Silly Love Songs.” He dredged this up out of his guts in addition to showing off crazy talent both in terms of songwriting and musical versatility.
Tremendous piece of art.
I would call Monkberry Moon Delight or pretty much anything from Ram the opposite of silly love songs! This one sounds a lot like his Beatles' fare to me. Loved when he got creative with his second album, and then Band on the Run and some others.
Hi Lee, one nice hidden easter egg is around 3:50 (in your video) when you can hear Paul & Linda's infant daughter Mary gurgling on the floor of the studio where she was playing as Paul recorded. He was at a real low in his life at this point post-Beatles, prey to drink and depression. Linda rescued him and the song celebrates that. Magic moment with the organ punching in at 4:12, never fails to make my hair stand up...
It's hard to recommend highlights from McCartney's solo cannon, it's so vast and varied (in a way he's a victim of his own creative fertility - hard to pigeon-hole). Grabbing a triple-album's worth almost at random from my favs, here's a suggested playlist that ought to make anybody think twice who has ever said he was done after the Beatles:
Distractions
House of Wax
Here Today
Beautiful Night
Dance Till We're High
Little Lamb Dragonfly
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five
Riding To Vanity Fair
Hope of Deliverance
Back On My Feet
Mr Bellamy
Dear Boy
Waterfalls
I'm Carrying
No More Lonely Nights
The Note You Never Wrote
You Gave Me the Answer
Jenny Wren

Kicked Around No More
Letting Go
We All Stand Together
Little Willow

The Pound is Sinking
Live And Let Die
Why So Blue?
Mrs Vanderbilt
Wanderlust
The World Tonight
Summer of '59
Tug Of War
There is some AMAZING solo stuff!! You’re hitting on a great one here!!
One of Paul’s best songs. Wonderful images to accompany.
If the vocals and piano stood out to you, Monkberry Moon Delight from his second album, Ram, will blow your mind. It's like the vocals and piano here on steroids. You won't believe Paul can let loose like that. :)
I can say this lovingly because I am a mom of 3..... she'll be three this week
then 13
then 23...... enjoy the time now when they're little, because time moves so very fast.
I'm on my third great-grandchild. Time truly does move fast.
Wonderful
Oh no, calling Paul an underrated song writer can't have gone well! 😁Besides all of the iconic Beatles songs he wrote/co-wrote, his solo career and Wings career also were hugely successful. Live and learn, that's why reaction channels are so great!! You're doing great, thanks for keeping all this great music alive.
That little girl was his stepdaughter, Heather, who was Linda's child from a previous marriage, and the baby was Mary, their first child together.
You can tell from the pics in the montage that they had a really sweet relationship. You can sense the daddy-daughter bond. I don't know if Heather's real father was ever in the picture but it was clear Paul was there to take up the role and she was completely happy with that.
From his first solo album McCartney - Paul played all the instruments and most of it was recorded at home. However you can see Paul play a snippet on The Beatles Get Back documentary.
Got this album when it was released, and not only was it a good one it was cool to find out that McCartney played all the instruments on it.
The vocal control and emotional intensity of his singing here are incredible. I love all of this album (recorded while he was still technically a Beatle) with its lo-fi, homespun production and artistic honesty. Try Junk (there's a vocal and and instrumemtal version on the album) and for a real tear-jerker, Teddy Boy. A unique talent.
Yeah his vocals were absolutely fantastic here. I've never heard him sing like this that I can remember... but my beatles journey is less then half a year old so I'm still learning lol
You haven't heard half what Paul can do vocally yet! That's to be found on Ram :)@@L33Reacts
Live in the 1970s, this was a killer track!
This song (and the McCartney album) was recorded with one mic. Insane. Such a great song and album following Abbey Road.
That said that Paul's masterpiece after the Beatles' split was his second album, Ram, George's was All Things Must Pass, and John's was Plastic Ono Band.
Solo songs from John's you should hit are Working Class Hero. It's the gritty version of Imagine. God or Mother - so raw and full of pain for one, and something unexpected even for John on the other but him being at peace with his life post-Beatles. Jealous Guy, Love are both gorgeous. John's diss track in reply to Paul's: How Do You Sleep? is incredible. Gimme Some Truth is along the same vein but not aimed at Paul. There's a start for you for John. :)
For George, Beware of Darkness, Awaiting on You All, What is Life - anything from ATMP, essentially.
Great choice.
The dogs name is Martha I believe that's the one he sings about in Martha, my dear.
Congrats on hitting 20k! McCartney :One of the best 10 albums of all time; easily his best solo work.
I think his best solo work is easily Ram!
Paul took a dig at John in the song "Too Many People" and John (with George on slide) responded with "How Do You Sleep?" It would be interesting to hear you react to them together.
He took a few digs at John on that song and others on Ram!
I love everything about this song.
The live version on Wings over America is sublime, great song.
This is one of the two songs for me and the spouse. I’d given up on love when we met. I’m still amazed after 19 years.
Live and Let Die is a banger and cool to watch live.
Another song in this vein, is Come Alive by Foo Fighters. It’s a deep track, written for his daughter.
There was actually a brilliant live version of this, I personally prefer the studio version, but the live version is incredible to watch.
Some lennon song that I have always been a fan of are "watching the wheels" and "(just like) starting over" both from his double fantasy album, 1980.
Amazing vocals from Paul.
Its a masterpiece...a stunning song
A beautiful, classic song from Paul. I also love the live version from Wings Over America. His voice is a little grittier in that version. Give it a listen. I'm sure you'll love it.
As others have said, listeto the live version, it's stunning.
Thank you for being Real L33! We feel you
This is a beautiful song. My favorite McCartney tune. Love to see you enjoying these songs.
Everyone has their favorites! Mine are Every Night and Monkberry Moon Delight, and a couple others too.
Can't go wrong with a Sir Paul pick!!! 💯🎶♥️🔥
Nope, need something more edgy one of these day, though. Need some Sir John and Sir George picks soon, too. :)
You have to hear the Beatles 'I want you/She's so heavy'
Just came here from your on the beach neil young vid...its like the sun breaking through the clouds after Neil's intense moodiness
The olde English Sheepdog is "Martha"as in Martha my Dear
Paul's Wings, Venus and Mars album was supported with the Wings Over America tour.
One of the singles off the album, Letting Go, is a great song to 'remind yourself' of something a little different that Paul can create.
I like your attitude amigo. Sir Paul is an impressive artist no doubt.
Lovely reaction, Lee. From Wings I would recommend Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey, Another Day, Band on the Run, My Love, Jet, Silly Love Songs, Listen to what the Man Said, Live and let Die.
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate that. I will definitely be heading down (yet again) another rabbit hole lol
Gorgeous song from a gorgeous album. Glad you chose the album track and not a live version. I was 10 when this came out, and this album got as much play in our house as any of the Beatles albums. I was also in love with the photos on the album jacket, most of which make up the video here. Linda was a photographer and published several books of photos, worth checking out!
It's just Paul playing every instrument on this whole LP
This is his best love song ever miss linda
Every Night is his best love song.
Happy birthday to your little one
Despite the Beatles 1970 self-destruction, the "beat" went on.
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey and also Band On The Run should be up next.💯👍
