Anyone who says McCartney plays it safe and doesn’t exit “the box” hasn’t been listening very closely😂. I totally agree with you, Harri. Great reaction 🌺✌️

Ram is my personal favorite solo album from Paul. There’s many gems on that album. Take a listen to it.

Harri, you are correct about the misconception of Paul vs John. Paul was actually the Beatle that introduced the avant-garde scene to the other Beatles.

Another Mccartney masterpiece! I think you would enjoy the whole album

If pushed, this would be my favorite McCartney solo song of all time. So beautiful yet so much going on. When he hits the “Yeah… oh ohhh we believe that we can’t be wrong” - it’s like a musical climax. And people like to say that about Lennon, but the reality is he “stayed in his lane.” He had a signature sound and delivery and stuck to it for the most part, even in his solo career. McCartney rarely played it safe, always outside of the box and not afraid to experiment. The man has conquered almost all genres and created his own, tbh. A gift to the world.

There’s a great scene in Get Back where Paul is sitting at the piano and talking to one the roadies about music and chords. The kid asks if the music just comes to you. He says yes and that something came to me last night and he starts playing and singing this song. Amazing.

Underrated song I think. The whole RAM album was panned by the critics but now its praised. Nothing could compare to the FABS so it was disliked. But it has MANY great songs on it. Thanks Harri!!

Paul is just a genius , I love your comments about him . it's so refreshing to hear someone say , Paul is my favourite, so many people give the trendy comment and say it's John or George, without ever listening to Paul's music ( or John and George's to be fair ) . give daytime night-time suffering a listen , great late 70s wings song , b-side of goodnight tonight .

Nobody, I mean NOBODY writes and performs songs like Paul McCartney

Absolute signature McCartney at his best. So well produced. Instrumentation and vocals are top shelf!!! Well done Harri and Scott Walker. 👍

The genius that is Paul McCartney on full show here.

My favorite McCartney album of all time. The whole album is great 👍. Thanks Harri.

This is the best song on Ram which is supprising cause every song on Ram is great. That high note at the end. Goosebumps.

This is what i call Paul McCartney gold!

Another note about this song is that it was written during the Get Back sessions of early 1969 with the beatles search the clip on KZfaq.

Thx for this song! Will always be one of my fav McCartney tunes.

Awesome choice Scott and Harri. What a beautiful song.

Ahhh, another gem from a gem of an album! Paul’s finest work IMO. Yes, Linda’s vocals were first featured on this album and carried into Wings.

When Ram was first released, most music critics Panned it. Boy were they wrong. Over the years this is possibly his greatest work.

This is an epic request Scott! I had respect for you my friend, and it just went up another level brother!...lol Very well written and produced track by the legendary Sir Paul! I believe the Sultan appreciated this one. Great reaction Harri!

John Lennon could never have made Temporary Secretary. Also, when people say Paul wasn’t experimental, he’s literally the one who decided to set up that insane crescendo on A Day In The Life and to just put two songs together on that track, and also have that really long piano chord played for like, what was it, 20 seconds? Anyway, all of Ram is an INCREDIBLE album. All of Paul’s albums have insane tracks, but Ram is just so uniquely cohesive about it. Genuinely, incredible collection of songs in every single way.

So pretty indeed. Truly McCartney at his finest. Harmonies and the instruments blended to perfection. Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

George Martin did the arrangements for this song with Paul conducting an orchestra in NYC. Martin provided arrangements for Long Haired Lady and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. All uncredited. Resource - Ram box set book in the deluxe version. George Martin went on to do the same with Live and Let Die with being credited as producer too.

This and Every Night do battle to be my favorite post-Beatles McCartney song. Brilliant!

One of my favs from Paul

Paul's ability to pick melodies like apples off a tree is mind-blowing! This song is an example of that. At 1:15, he sings an exquisite line unrelated to the rest of the ballad. Almost a separate idea is the part, " Oh, I believe that we can't be wrong. "

A great climax to a great album

So glad that you heard this great song and reacted to it - this is to me one of the best things on RAM, which has always been my favorite from Paul

Then you have to listen to 'Tug of War " and "Pipes of Peace " fantastic records by Paul McCartney. ✌☯️take care

Genius is the word, Sir Harri. I saw him a total of three times, only once with The Beatles. Yeah, Linda was great harmony. I'd implore you to see him perform Bluebird live in Seattle. Peace and love from Florida.

Hugh McCracken, BTW, was a very busy session guitarist in the 60s and 70s, and was invited by Paul to join Wings. He declined. His most well-known work was the slide guitar solo in "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen, the guitar solo in "Hey Nineteen" by Steely Dan, and the main guitar playing fills on Van Morrison classic "Brown-Eyed Girl". From Hackensack, New Jersey. (He played second lead guitar on a couple of albums with B.B. King. Wow.)

McCartney’s a great great writer!

The best post-Beatles album from all of the Lads (to me), a great listen, start to finish

I'm 62 and I don't remember ever hearing this.

This song is a gem that bombed when released as single reaching only 39 in the UK charts ! Still dont understand why it didnt make at least top five and with great B side Heart Of The Country ! great choice but many more from Sir Paul to try Harri ! He is a living legend with so many varied songs ! Try Little Willow ...then Helen Wheels or Juniors Farm then Average Person ! All Varied and unique ! And many more besides ,,,,,Motor of Love mmmmm

when the "RAM" came out , all the critic of music ( like rolling stone magazine ) destroyed the album telling Mc Cartney is doing same Beatle stuff ...... and now they wrote is one of is best album ...... mc cartney was so underrated at this period . for me the full album is a masterpiece . Please try " long haired lady " or " monkberry moon delight " next

I LOVE you Harri, because you give Paul is DUE, when so many reactors don't. I LOVE watching your reactions to Paul's solo work, PLEASE do more. THere are also great songs on his "TUG OF WAR" lp, and "BACK to THE EGG" lp. Would love to see you react to these two VIDEOS of Paul's for "HOPE OF DEIVERANCE" and "PRESS" (that is a really fun one done on the London tube! ) BOTH are here on You Tube.

sorry if someone already said this but I hear the influence of Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds here. McCartney and Wilson: definitely two of the best!

A great pick Scott, one of my favorite McCartney hidden gems. We are going to see Paul at the Syracuse Carrier Dome. I am so excited. It was a complete surprise my kids got my wife and I tickets to show plus got us a condo for four days on Lake Cayuga nearby. Love my kids and am pretty sure this will be our last time to see our musical hero as he will be 80 next month and is slowing down. Good reaction to a fantastic request Prince Harri. Someday I would like to hear "Dear Boy" from the Ram Album , it along with Ram On are two of my favorite early Paul and Linda songs. Not a bad song on the Ram Album. I requested it long ago but it got lost in the shuffle somewhere or blocked. Not sure, just disappointed. ☹️🤴👍😉🔥🌏🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🕊️

McCartney was criticized for McCartney being under produced. With this album, he was criticized for being over produced. The next album was Band On The Run. He got it right. Masterpiece

and you hear Linda McCartney singing back up vocals. Hard to believe this was 51 years ago....seems like "Yesterday."

Great reaction!! Another beautiful song by McCartney is Through our Love! You should listen to!!

A great song from a great album. Two loves of Macca's life, his family and music, ooze from the album "Ram". Why don't you check out the first track from the album, "Too Many People", it's an upbeat rocker. Linda provides great harmonies on this album too.

This song has so much depth to it. Two different point of views from the backseat of the car.

Love love love RAM

Paul can be seen working on this song during the recording of "Get Back".

This is so beautiful!! For being a short song it's filled up of a bunch of different songs, ideas and atmosphere... But I don't know if this album was at his best but absolutely a truly magic period. When you'll listen to McCartney, Wild Life, Red Rose Speedway, Wings at the Speed of Sound albums you can say goodbye to your mind and be amazed...

this song and dear boy are my favorite songs of ram .whereby dear boy is probably the most complicated compositionally, only the background vocals of dear boy is genjal if you analyze the piece. ram is for me the best mc cartney album - and of course mc cartney has experimented a lot. To list all these experimental things here would probably be too much. fireman,mc cartney II etc with a little luck synth music ......................... greetings from germany

Try Wanderlust from Tug of War. George Martin said it was McCartney's best vocal performance.

From the masterpiece called RAM

Will like to see/hear your reaction to "House of Wax" Paul plays the guitar solo on it. A good example of his underrated guitar abilities. It is quite different from a lot of his other material

I always think of Paul and Linda living in their farm in Scotland, separated from the Beatles and his former life, but believing they ate on the right track, moving in another direction. A cry for independence!

At the time this album, Ram, was panned but now it's considered great

He is a true composer he writes masterpieces lennon writes great but he is not the musician that McCartney was in those words came right Out of John’s mouth !!

Harri hitting the nail in the head with his musical analysis. His musical IQ is up there. I'd love to see Harri react to Listen to What the Man Says

I don’t agree that John has it over Paul either. John had a few nice songs, but Paul had more variety and certainly more hits. I love them both and it’s not a competition. (Just a competition between Paul and John and we can stay out of it LOL)

Another great video, Harri! I’d like to request your reaction to I’m Alive by ELO. I know you’re a big fan of the band and Jeff Lynne.

Great song. John Lennon always thought the line ‘we believe that we can’t be wrong’ was a dig aimed at him and Yoko.

Echoes of the Beach Boys.

Great pick Scott Walker! It was on my list for next month! I’ve been on a huge RAM kick lately. There was a group of musicians that did the whole album live performance a number of years ago and did a great job recreating the album. It was so good to see them performed live and showcased the complexity of the songs. Here is Back Seat of My Car but I recommend checking out the full concert. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mL2FlsWj1JuRdps.html

O it was Linda. She was bashful till Paul came in to her picture (pun intended).

John Lennon took this song as a personal attack on him and wrote a song against Paul called How do you sleep. I'm not as crazy about this song as some of the comments. It's not bad. well below Beatles standard.

It's a great tune, best on the album. But it could have been an epic had he spent more time on the lyrics. He has a tendency to vamp until he settles on the final lyrics but sometimes just gets lazy. "Hip trying learn to learn" is what it sounds like he's singing, Lennon could have helped with that, he was the wordsmith of the group.

Ram is a hot mess. All these great bits of melody that generally go nowhere, and a lot of insipid or "let's flip John off" lyrics. This one, a Beatles left-over, is marred by Linda's atrocious backing vocals (and so high in the mix - you thought only John could blunder when mixing songs including his wife on the Sometime In NYC album) and Paul's inability to close the song out properly. It has like three conclusions. Compare to "1985" which closes the Band on the Run album which builds to just the right crescendo and ends where it ought to end.
