I've been thinking a lot as of late. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of all time, and there are plenty others to choose from. Not looking for arguments. This is from somebody, that back in junior high, was listening to the song 'Coming Up.' Today, I'm listening to 'Fool on the Hill.' There aren't any bad songs with Paul. How do you just sit there in front of a crowd and write a song? This is all beyond me. Think for a moment, if you will. Everything, having to do with Paul, is like a brilliant ray of sunshine. It's his soul, I do believe. He is peaceful and cares about animals and the world and people. He loved Linda and created a beautiful family along with all the music of 'Wings'. You don't see him on tabloids or on the news because he is a loud mouth wanting attention. I wish the world was filled with more people like him. I'm just wanting to know if anybody agrees and sees exactly what I see. Can I get thumbs up, people? Paul's birthday was two days ago. Happy belated birthday, Paul!

I saw Paul in concert in 2017, and he could do an entire concert on the piano alone. A great talent. I also saw him with three other guys in 1965.

YES. Paul McCartney will be remembered like Mozart and Chopin. He is the best of the 20th Century. We are very fortunate to have been alive to hear his music right from him.

McCartney's gift was that he could write songs that were already in you.

My favorite Beatles songs, 1. Because 2. Elanor Rigby 3. Fool on the Hill

This is my song!! I have been the fool on the hill all of my life! No one has ever understood me, but Jesus does!!! And that's what counts !!!!!!!!!!!!

This song. My beloved Mom, a member of The Greatest Generation, opened her heart to the Beatles. She once confided in me that this song, "Fool on the Hill" was her second favorite Beatles song. Her first? "Yesterday", as played and sung by the Beatles, and me, her favorite only daughter. So when I hear this song, I think of my Mom, who could sometime surprise us all with her wisdom and grasp of the mysterious. God love you, Mom. I miss you.

Greatest genius of our time. Thank you Paul, for making music and making so many people happy. I love you.

I love Paul McCartney

Paul’s “Fool on the hill” is a major song musically and lyrically. Check the way the lyrics unfold by the way he turns the perspective right around. “They are the fools” while he”the man of a thousand voices” It is a hymn for the outsider.

No one can ever beat Paul McCartney, he is a complete package, i.e., a genius songwriter, amazing singing voice and good looks. Not to mention his natural connection to his audience.

懐かしい♪Beatles で大好きな曲の１つです。

One of the most underrated songs ever.

wooow paul vocals are awesome here

Man the live version brings me to tears, Paul’s voice is just so beautiful.

I'm a fool in a basement wishing I was good enough to be a fool on the hill

He so deserves a Nobel Prize, or an entirely new award, to recognise his unique impact on the WORLD for over half a century, and hopefully many more years. His songs have depth, are uplifting, speak of the human condition and have touched millions of people. The underlying message being peace/love, who else has spread that message as elegantly??

I feel like this song is about the person that we all know, that hasn't done much with their life by the traditional measures. But when you look them in the eye you see they have a joyous glint in their eye, and a knowing smile on the corner of their mouth. And you realise this person exists on a whole different level to yourself, and the other people you know.

Paul is a Genius.This is one of my favorites songs of him.

I can't think of anyone as talented as Paul....singer, songwriter, guitarist, nature and animal lover....just brilliant at everything this man does...I've loved him since the age of 9 and always will ~ 💖💖💖💖

I saw him in MSG 1989. He sang this song will the stage was rising and spinning. I was paralyzed with joy !!!!

His eyes are still so young looking and innocent- He is amazing :)

Day after day, Alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool, And he never gives an answer, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Well on the way, Head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make, and he never seems to notice, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do, and he never shows his feelings, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, ooh, Round and round and round. And he never listens to them, He knows that they're the fools They don't like him, The fool on the hill Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, Round and round and round

One of the best singers of all time, in my opinion.

We all love and cherish him just privileged to have witnessed his genius , thank you.

we all love this song.. becoz we are all fools on our own hills.. i am an old fool.. .

when I listen to the Beatles, I remember my childhood, the warmth of bright feelings, and I want to do good.

The lyrics describe the 'titular fool', a solitary man who is not understood by others, but is very wise.

Absolute genius,nothing more to be said!🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

Who's listening to this song in 2020?

inspired by the view of the Maharishi as the Beatles arrived for spiritual inspiration...they weren't making fun of him, just respect for his grasp of life while thinking most westerners would think he was a fool.

This is the greatest man in the univers

Creative Competition: John: Strawberry Fields, Paul: Penny Lane; John: Ticket to Ride, Paul: We Can Work It Out; John: In My Life, Paul: Here, There, and Everywhere; John: Nowhere Man, Paul: Fool On The Hill.

So elegantly simple

this ain't just a song, he's outright telling y'all that the Earth is truly flat, motionless and the sun revolves around it....

Well said. Totally ridiculous to dislike this. McCartney is unquestionably one of the greatest singers, songwriters, and popular icons of the twentieth century. That being said, as much as I like Paul doing it, my favorite is Sergio and Brazil '66. But Paul wrote it. I was born in '55...I count my lucky stars to have grown up in an era where popular music was extremely well crafted-ALL styles of popular music.

There are not many people of my generation who had the mastery of melody that Paul has. I always loved this song, ever since I was a kiddie.

The more I listen to this music, the more I feel so in love to the legacy of this amazing musician. Thanks Sir Paul for your heart touching songs.

Yet another masterpiece by Sir Paul. (Experts agree: 'The Magical Mystery Mystery Tour' was one of the Beatles' best albums, in the same league as Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and Rubber Soul.)

This song brought me to tears at Metlife Stadium last night!! Got to see Paul McCartney, a real musical genius of my lifetime. Love you Paul!!!

The paradox of this song is, the music is so beautiful, and gives you a feeling of harmony and happiness, but the words of the song are so sad and tragic.

Thankyou Paul your music inspired me to pick up my flute for the first time and play during a depressing time of pandemic l listened to fool on the hill, it did it for me Thank you,💖

Great! Divine! Paul in the voice! Messi in drums!

Some voices like Paul’s don’t need a choir for their songs do touch your ❤and deeply into your soul, they go!! Terrific re-make Mr. MacCartney...Perfect video: wow, wow, wow 😇😇😇😇❤️💙❤️💙❤️ Simply beautiful !!

Even after all those years...he's still got it :) You go Mr. McCartney

Paul has always had a fantastic voice, from the Quarrymen to now. What an incredible musician.

If you were able to see the documentary get back ,you could realize that Paul,is the driving force behind the band. He's a perfectionist,he's telling George go to D minor ,then G then he's barking out notes as he goes along. I give him lots of credit for the Beatles success and of course add Jhon and Harrison and Ringo. Paul is a very talented musician,like Prince.

I grew up with the Beatles' songs. Then I heard this song, and I thought what a beautiful melody. Then I checked KZfaq for it. Shocker! It's Paulie?! And I missed it?

What a beautiful voice.

It warms my heart watching Paul sing Beatles songs at an older age.

A happy birthday to Sir Paul Mccartney ...77yrs 18th June 1942....thank you for the music ...down the years ...wish him a long & healthy life.

When I have kids I’m going to raise them on classics like this beautiful, well written music

Voilà un titre de 1967. I love it, I adore it. This is my life, this is my story! We all are fools, isn't it?

Need I say it again. Sir Paul McCartney is a musical genius... An event which prompted this song happened when Paul was walking his dog, Martha, on Primrose Hill one morning. As he watched the sun rise, he noticed that Martha was missing. Paul turned around to look for his dog, and there a man stood, who appeared on the hill without making a sound. The gentleman was dressed respectably, in a belted raincoat. Paul knew this man had not been there seconds earlier as he had looked in that direction for Martha. Paul and the stranger exchanged a greeting, and this man then spoke of what a beautiful view it was from the top of this hill that overlooked London. Within a few seconds, Paul looked around again, and the man was gone. He had vanished as he had appeared. A friend of McCartney's, Alistair Taylor, was present with Paul during this strange incident, and wrote of this event in his book, Yesterday. Both Paul and Alistair could not imagine what happened to this man. He had seemed to vanish in thin air. The nearest trees for cover were too far to reach by walking or running in a few seconds, and the crest of the hill was too far as well to reach in that short time. What made the experience even more mysterious, was that just before this man first appeared, Paul and Alistair were speaking to each other of the beauty they observed of the view towards London and the existence of God. Once back home, they spent the morning discussing what had happened, trying to make some sense of it. They both agreed that this was something others were infer occurred as a result of an "acid trip," but they both swore they had not taken or used any drugs. When Paul filmed the sequence for this song in the film, it shows him on a hilltop overlooking the town of Nice.

I lived near Armistead Maupin in San Francisco....our hill was a 45 degree one! He called us the fools on the hill!!! His poodle dog was so precious!

He is the light he is the love....what a man of peace. I saw him in 1991. Pure musician of magic.

Paul McCartney s music is as fresh now as the day it was made ,so refreshing always timeless classics,were blessed to have shared his music, Thankyou from all your listeners and fans,God bless you always Paul,💖

This is one of my favorite Beatles-era songs. I would also mention 'Fixing a Hole' and 'She's Leaving Home'.

The arrangement to this song is insanely well crafted. My Dad bought the single back in '67 (???).

I totally agree and having met him at his father’s house as a schoolgirl I can say how lovely he is,so much charisma.

Paul has become an international treasure, living and singing wonderfully beyond the age of most of his contemporaries. And better than all of them, consistently.

It actually amazing to think the two greatest songwriters ever where in the same group

Es llamativo que Paul haya decidido repetir exactamente la versiòn original, la de los Beatles juntos, no le agregò ni restó nada, significa que homenageaba a sus compañeros como si el trabajo de aquel equipo de Jhon, George, Ringo y èl fuera, sencillamente insuperable¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Què generoso y que humilde Paul, grande lo tuyo.

so much Wisdom and Truth in this brilliant song. Dear Paul.. Gratitude for this beautiful piece:)

He has a beatiful voice!!! I love this song

This is real music

man I hope he lives to 100 I want to grow old sharing this earth with him

Poor Paul. He was probably thinking of how much fun he had when he was making Magical Mystery won't his best friends...😭

Beautiful song.

2021 and this songs remains beautiful

Greatest Musician since Mozart, Beethoven, Bach & the Italian and French ones, ❤!

丘の上にいつもいるＦｏｏｌな人が、実は地球が回っていることを理解していた、 なんて、そんなテーマの曲ですね。 私はこの童話のような曲が好きでした。歌っている動画発見に感激しています。

this is my go to panic/anxiety attack relief song. I usually count while it plays, such a good song.

I have been a fan of Pauls since I was 9 still enjoy his music and im on wrong side of 60 now

I wonder how many middle-aged and older people can listen to this and not burst into tears.

Beautiful. One of my all-time favorite Beatles's songs. (Actually, written and sung by Paul.)

One's of Paul's best.

Paul mc McCartney por siempre.gracias x tu música 🎶

Beautiful. It took a room full of great musicians to replicate what 4 lads from Liverpool made. They ARE the greatest, never to be replaced. Never.

I bought the VHS version from Virgin Records, Oxford Street. Plain white cover £5. What a tremendous accolade Paul gave his father on "Put It There". If only we could all have had a Dad like that!

Still gives me goosebumps.

An absolute master at work.

Well done Paul McCartney 🎸, keep it coming 💯✅

From the moment it came out this tune has always been one of my preferred song from THE BEATLES. One which talks about someone who may perhaps be a dreamer with a vision nobody grasps or understands. "THE FOOL ON THE HILL " is a masterpice of Paul McCarthey.

Paul, the best of Liverpool for ever!!!

My ALL TIME FAVORITE Paul MCcartney song! 🍺😎👍

It's a masterpiece.

Incredible melody!

so very very nice...this version is so beautiful!!!!

Goes to sleep wakes up and writes let it be thanks to his dream, goes to sleep again wakes up and writes yesterday possibly the greatest song of all time. No training no nothing just a guy from a council estate in Liverpool

"But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head sees the world spinning round" Paul McCartney is mocking you people he knows the truth hes telling right in your face in his music lyrics that the Earth is Flat.

Greetings from Argentina!!! I love this song!!!!

i was lucky enough to know one of these .rip mr clark.

Pure genius. The lyrics…….. what was going on in those days.

This version is just awesome !

What a wonderful song with so much meaning ...

Wonderful. Speaks to so much. Love it.

in the 1960s I didn't have the turntable and I knew the beatles very little, but a few years ago with emule I have all the fabfour songs in my ipod! thank you john, paul, george and ringo!

Love this album ❤

The voice that shaped a generation.
