Paul McCartney - Egypt Station (#1 album in US) Appreciation Thread 2.0 - New and Improved

You're one to talk, we know you have two life size Gilligan's Island dolls!

 

It's A Doll's House for sure.

P.S. "Your're"...if you can't remember if it's "your" or "you're," just use both!

 

I don’t Know is tier 1 absolutely. It’s pauls favorite on the album and I can see why. It’s like a modern Let It Be it’s an incredible record. Judging by your tiers here is my breakdown:

1 Classics: Dominoes, DRW, Hunt You Down Medley, Happy With You, I Don’t Know, Hand In Hand

2 Awesome: Who Cares, Back In Brazil, Do It Now, Caesar Rock, Nothing For Free

3 Great: Get Started, Confidante, Fuh You

4 Good but not my faves: People Want Peace, Come On To Me

5 The this album is too good to have any ‘meh’ songs tier: None

Tierless because too short: the Stations (which I also love)

 

I thought Paul was just being cheeky when he said it was his favorite. Like, "I don't know" because I can't decide, but I'm obviously also referring to what is the most recent single.

Coming soon:
Person 1: So Paul, what's your favorite song on Egypt Station?
Paul McCartney: Ahh...hmmm...ummm...well...who cares!

 

I defitively would have put I don t know and Happy with you in the top tier
Despite repeated warnings to
But really like them all

 

Another COTM teaser in Paul's Instagram's story

 

They can't all be top tier! Perhaps a tier above "top tier" is in order?

How about "Rooftop Tier?"

 

Not after you used both!

 

I love I Don't Know - it's my favorite too. I love the piano intro, one of the best thing's Paul's ever put to tape. And again when it's revisited in the interlude.

 

I don t know might be the finest song on the album. Everything about it is jus incredible-the piano-intro, the melodic structure, the arrangement, the lyrics, Pauls vocals. Could be one of Pauls finest songs since leaving the Beatles
But that goes for Hand in Hand and Dominoes to.
Back in Brazil is-just as the good doctor pointed out another very good one-in a more fun way
No I love them all
But I don t know perhaps a bit more

 

Paul McCartney on Twitter:

#EgyptStation

 

Yeah, but you conveniently skip over the fact that YOU have a life size "Skipper" inflatable doll with the same expression , and if it could talk he would call you... " little buddy" .

Come On To Me Teaser #2b:

 

Feeling inspired by someone in one of these threads (possibly this one) discussing re-ordering the album in order for it to "flow better", I thought I'd actually take the songs I loved the most from NEW and Egypt Station and do a custom playlist "album", and I'm calling it "Save Us...Despite Repeated Warnings". So far here is my track list:

1) Station I
2) I Don't Know
3) Alligator
4) Happy With You
5) Everybody Out There
6) Fuh You
7) Demons Dance
8) Dominoes
9) On My Way To Work
10) New
11) Caesar Rock
12) Save Us
13) Despite Repeated Warnings
14) Queenie Eye
15) Hosanna
16) Station II

So I'm looking for a couple of things:

-Feedback from anyone who wants to provide it with regards to song order. I feel relatively comfortable for myself on the songs I chose, and it was tough to narrow these down. I'd originally had on "Hand in Hand", "Early Days", and "My Valentine" on here, but just didn't feel like they totally "fit" what I was doing, so I cut them out.

-If anyone is talented at graphic design and wants to help out a Macca fan who isn't (that'd be me) and take a shot at designing something that incorporates the NEW album art w/ the Egypt Station album art, I'd really like to use it at my playlist's cover art.

Thanks!

 

Press To Play in the top 10, yeah!

 

Or not 2b!

 

2 much ...

 

Yes, but if you follow the train concept, then you populated the train with demons, alligators, and queens, oh my!

 

I think it's going to be the who cares video. I'm thinking it opens with the security guy he looks up and hears the music and upstairs is Emma dances to a waltz or something then she daydreams the who cares video where she is dancing with Paul in that broadstreet looking make up and the video closes back at her apartment where we see the security guy listening to come on to me.

 

Pot to kettle, pot to kettle, you're breaking up!

 

Sounds like an Egypt Station concept video. Emma's name in the video is Janet, and everyone is wearing "Ichiban" T-shirts ...

 

No, on Instagram, the other teaser is a close up on a building. Inside, there's a maid who turn on the radio to play COTM, while watching at the window
My theory is that it's going to be Come On To Me video:
The security guard and the maid seeing each other in the other building, flashing a smile at each other and the song goes on, and on, and on... And at the "Yes I Will Now" they decide to leave their buildings and meet each other finally.
If I'm right, well congratulate me later

We'll get a lot of videos for the album!
Fuh You, Back In Brazil, Who Cares, Come On To Me (about fuhing time)
I'd love to see a video clip for Dominoes or Despite Repeated Warnings of course which could go viral
