Paul McCartney/Wings-song by song thread

That's a pretty good description of my McCartney III Ringofied Edition that is a combination of the best of III and III Imagined as well as Ringo's new Ep and Dhani's single. It works surprisingly well!

Stop listening to it.

 

Too Late, I already have!

 

Bip Bop

 

Wait... the version on the album isn't an hour? It sure feels like it.

 

What do we think about the version from III Imagined

 

I love that version. He makes it a completely different track
Great stuff

 

I haven't heard the Imagined version of MIII so this is going to be fascinating going forward.

Yes, the track is completely different, but it doesn't really go anywhere (for me). Interesting to hear but nothing I'd want to hear a second time.

 

The beginning and end are very Beatlesque. I really like this version, but the original is still better, in my opinion.

 

Of course the original is the best
They (almost)always are

 

The magic number is three on these albums and three is the number of songs that are better on III Imagined than the original album!

 

Two is a couple
Three is a crowd

 

Next Up - Find My Way

 

I like this one, the bass playing is a highlight...

 

Watching the video gives me more respect for and insight into the song and Paul. Still not a favorite 6.5/10.

 

Missed this. This is a great version. Very Ibiza Chill Out circa 2001 - the whole Imagined album has that vibe. I wondered if they'd all be given the same brief and was surprised to find out that no, they all were told to do their own thing. With the exception of one or two tracks, the album has nice cohesive feel to it. 10/10

I should say that the Imagined album has been extremely successful in my household where we often have music warz (this happens when you have teenagers who are into rap) and this has been the one album that we can all agree on.

 

Not a fan and I always skip it. Apple tells me I've only played it 16 times. This song nods to some stylistic elements that I can't get on with...that sort of music hall, Sgt Pepper-ish tweeness. I don't mind the chorus, but *deep breath* I don't think Paul has the vocal chops anymore to do it justice. It is what it is. He's a 79 year old man who has spent his entire life singing really loudly on a regular basis. His vocal cords have got to give some day. And I think that day has come. Overall, this song is a miss for me. 2/10

I really like Beck's version, great bass, as with original.

 

Agreed!

 

Find My Way is a strong, solid, highly structured pop song. It's catchy and moves well. I like how it directly references the pandemic lockdown days. I also like it's surprise reprise. All in all a good album track.

 

Here is the version from III Imagined!



Which version do you like best! I'm with @maccafan and prefer this version.

 

Find My Way is a solid track. Nowhere near top-tier Paul but enjoyable and one of the better tunes on the album.

 

Funny, this is one of relatively few tracks on the album where I think Paul's vocals actually work pretty well. Yeah, he could have done amazing things with this in 1971, but he makes it work with what he's got now. And I have no clue what you mean by twee-ness here -- I don't hear that at all (and I kind of like Macca's twee stuff).

 

A brilliant, inventive piece of sunny pop-music
Love the ”surf-guitar” sound.
This is Paul enjoying Freedom in the studio
9/10

 

I love Becks version
Great bass-line and a solid groove
But I still prefer Pauls gorgeous original because of it s eccentricies and dream-like qualities
