Best McCartney unreleased song

Which is your favorite? Added Yvonne (although released by 10CC) because Paul's one is such a great track IMO!!

 

I said "Waterspout", but now I'm thinking maybe I should have said "Cage".

 

If "1882" was included, I would have voted for that one. There is something about "1882" that draws me in. Something dark, which is not typical of Paul.

For the songs on your list, I need to decide between "Yvonne" and "Waterspout".

 

Unreleased by Paul..."On the Wings of a Nightingale."

I also really like "Best Friend"

 

"Goodbye"

 

Yvonne for me, but that was really hard.
I'll second Arnold Grove about 1882 also.

 

Hey, yeah, "Best Friend" wasn't an option! That would be my pick probably because I listen to that song probably more than a good portion of released McCartney songs.

 

Return to Pepperland, closely followed by Waterspout and Yvonne.

 

"Waterspout" is an amazing song, would have been sensational on my favorite Wings album London Town.

I also like "Robber's Ball" and "Night Out" but they may be a bit repetitive. The list captures the highlights of the unreleased Paul as I know them.

 

The one piano rendition of "Suicide" (where he makes it through the whole song) is quite a gem!

 

+2 (that's one for each thought).

Paul's demo of So Like Candy (w/EC) might top them all, though, for me...

 

I voted for "The Rupert Song" on the assumption that it's the same as "When the Winds Is Blowing". I also love the piano demo version(s) of 1882.

 

Write in vote: Tommy's Coming Home.

 

Of the options, Cage.

Best Friend is a very good choice as well...

 

I concur

 

I voted Cage. I think your list skips quite a few unreleased McCartney songs however.

 

I don't understand why "Is It Raining in London" was included, is there a version by Paul available? I agree that 1882 should have been included, that is a super track.

I chose between "Waterspout", "Cage", "Lindiana" and "Return to Pepperland" and went with "Lindiana" in the end.

 

I included "Is It Raining in London?" although we can only hear a snippet of it (1 minute circa) on the home video Movin'On. Judging from what it can be heard, it's a great song, and a live performance by Hamish proves it, IMHO. So I decided for the inclusion.

 

I know it's a cover, but I really love "Tragedy"

From this list, I had to You Tube a couple of these songs, as it has been a very long time since I heard them. And one of them was Cage.

Wow, that's all kinds of catchy with unpredictable melodies (this must have been 3 different songs at one point).

I enjoyed it more than I ever remember, so Cage gets my vote from this list.

 

Wow, I'm surprised that I apparently just cast the first vote for Your School... by far my favourite song of what's left.

 

I think Rupert is the title song of the project, not When the Wind is Blowing.

Main melody has the lyric "Rupert, we'll be singing a song/Rupert, we'll be rolling along/Rupert, we'll be singing a song of love."

It's a lovely song, just not the same as When the Wind Is Blowing.

 

"Robber's Ball" trumps them all.

 

Waterspout.

Should've been a non-LP "B" side.

 

Does "when the wind is blowing" count? I love that one

 

Thanks for the info. Does "Rupert" circulate?
