Here's Paul returning in his Mad Scientist laboratory after quite a while since the McCartney II album. This song definitely retains the quirkiness and fun nature of the 1980 album, and it's a nice and welcoming return in Macca's discography (Well, maybe we can also count 1984's Playout Version of No More Lonely Nights as another freaky McCartney II "son"). The incredible thing about this is that Ou Est Le Soleil is actually the oldest song in this record, having been written as far back as 1975, as this demo recorded in Paul's Rude Studios in Scotland proves: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLOpm7aJ0rG9e40.htmlsi=kNlS6fBGWFPYyebr I really like the playfulness in the released session, especially the idea of Paul using an actual saw in the studio for the rhythm track. The saw also appears in the music video for this track (Around the end of it we see Linda sawing Paul and all the other McCartney Band members, as a magician). Yes, a video was made for this track, as it wasn't a B-side (As Cory incorrectly said in this video), but an actual Paul McCartney single! Isn't it great? The video, based on a videogame of the times, is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pb93qs5q3rmxoJ8.htmlsi=T-PYL5uaTLFigh9d Pretty psychedelic in a way 😀

This is the only song on the album that I would say sounds dated. I do like its bones though. You'd think that a song about the engine that powers love would be more of a power ballad or rocker than a song this smooth and layered.

Why you need to do a video on Trippin’ the Live Fantastic and its associated singles. Otherwise these are the songs you will miss, and some of these are gems. I am too lazy to write where they all come from. 1. Back On My Feet (An exception B-side from Once Upon a Long Ago). Note: You my have covered this if so I apologise. 2. Flying to My Home 3. Good Sign 4. The First Stone 5. I Wanna Cry 6. I'm in Love Again 7. Mama's Little Girl 8. Same Time Next Year 9. I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday 10. Loveliest Thing 11. Party Party 12. All My Trials Studio single 13. C Moon New cover 14. Mull Of Kintyre Live 15. All My Trials - Milan 27/10/89 16. C Moon - Milan 26/10/89 17. Strawberry Fields Forever/Help Give Peace A Chance - Liverpool 28/6/90 19. Birthday - Live at Knebworth 30/06/90 2:43 19. Good Day Sunshine - Live at Montreal Forum 20. P.S. Love Me Do - Live at Maracanã Stadium Plus, the Beatles Songs played live for the first time since the breakup. So, I will not include those played on any Wings or official live releases or on singles already mentioned.. 21. The Fool On the Hill 22. Can’t Buy Me Love 23. Things We Said Today 24. Back in the USSR 25. I Saw Her Standing There (Yes I’m cheating as I think Wings did this in 77 or 79 but an not confident it was recorded on any official release) 26. Hey Jude 27. Get Back 28. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band There are about half a dozen more that were played with Wings. Plus, new songs. 29. Together 30. Inner city Madness 31. Don’t Let the Sun Catch Youn Crying (Cover version) That's a lot of great material. I hope you consider it. Cheers.

"Ou est le soleil dans la tete?" literally means "Where is the sun in your head." That's a French idiom for "Where are your senses?" "Travailler" means "work" (which is why there are sounds of sawing and hammering in the song). The song is saying: "Where are your senses? Work!"

You had talked yesterday about Flowers in the Dirt being an "eclectic" mix of songs, all very different from one another. That's exactly why Paul McCartney is the most popular composer of all time. Paul never settled on a formula, and then just reworked it over and over again. Paul loves all kinds of music. And if you listen to all of Paul's albums, you will hear songs that are going to be outside of your personal tastes, because he writes every kind of song. This is the man who wrote Helter Skelter AND Mother Nature's Son. He is the man who wrote Honey Pie AND Back in the USSR, and those are all on the same album! Talk about eclectic! The amazing variety of songs that Paul can compose, play and sing, is the reason why he is my favorite artist and songwriter. I love his songs with The Beatles, I love his songs with Wings, I love his songs as a solo artist, and I love his new stuff, still writing songs as a grandpa and an octogenarian. I'm truly Amazed by Paul McCartney, there's no Maybe about it.

Paul McCartney was indeed just as prolific in the 90's. He only issued 3 solo albums under his name but he composed and released THREE classical pieces of music (Liverpool Oratorio 1991, Standing Stone 1997 and Working Classical 1999). He also recorded and released TWO electronica albums with Youth ( Strawberries, Oceans, Ships, Forests 1993 and Rushes 1998). And don't forget that Linda McCartney was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 and undergoing a lot of medical treatment and procedures until her death in 1998. AND he did some majoring touring 1989-1993 for the first time since Wings disbanded. (I was reminded by other comments that he also did a live album and Unplugged and the HUGE Beatles Anthology project--there's probably more--he never stops.)

I highly recommend you guy to tackle the TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC double live album next. I mean, you also have reacted to the Wings Over America triple live album, so why overlook this equally important release? This album represents the first time Paul has played many Beatles songs live (Many for the first time ever, others since The Beatles touring days), as well as some Wings and solo 80s stuff. That tour (The 1989/1990 World Tour) was basically where Paul created the template of his tours as he's still doing them. Also, many of the Flowers In The Dirt songs played live sound way better than their studio counterpart. So, I highly suggest you guys, especially being a live McCartney band, to study how he played those songs at that time
@triplejazzmusicisall18837 күн бұрын
I thoroughly agree. It must be included. Or at the very least the tracks that were not ever released elsewhere.from Paul after leaving the Beatles. Singles such as All My Trials and so forth. All those Beatle's songs never heard live before. Surely that alone makes it's inclusion for review essential. I suppose it might seem overwhelming to those who didn't sort of grow up through this period and bought everything Paul released but for the sake of being thorough the double album Tripping..., is essential as are the singles from it. Where else will they hear the John Lennon tribute medley except from the cassingle (can't instantly recall which one), Mama's Little Girl, Mull of Kintyre Live etc... Good I would love to know people's thoughts on the composition Inner City Madness, Together, Sally and Paul's cover of Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying. Cheerio and thanks per usual. I'll give you a well deserved break from my comments soon.

I think I read somewhere that Paul was influenced by sound of the vocals on The Cars song "Drive" when writing this song. I could be wrong.
