Compared to the Beatles, it seemed slightly under-produced at the time, but looking back over 50 years, it sounds perfect. Maybe ahead of its time. This is such a passionate song. Great material throughout the album.
That final line woahhhhhhhh we believe that we can’t wrong yeah yeah yeah! Is one of the greatest most impassioned sung lyrics Macca ever performed and it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Heavy stuff going on with Beatles at that time and adopting Heather but they had each other’s love like you say Justin and that gave Macca everything he needed to carry on. What a performance what a woman and what an end to an album. Perfect❤
I can’t love this song enough. This song, this album, it’s place in my life. Hope you enjoyed the journey. I so enjoyed watching all your reactions to this.
He has so many greats but I have to go with this as my favorite solo Paul song. Hypnotic. The melodies, the instrumentals, tempo changes and his voice. It’s just perfect. His little Beatles-esque “Yeah!” leading into the first “Oh, we believe that we can’t be wrong” makes me smile every time. And when he breaks, laughing around 2:43, I laugh. Just a genius. We’re so lucky to have him. ❤
Paul had been together with Jane Asher for about five years (they got engaged in December of 1967). Most of McCartney's love songs were about Asher through 1968. Paul first met Linda in May of 1967 when she was in London to cover the launch of the Sgt. Pepper album as a photographer. They met again in May of 1968 when John & Paul went to New York to publicize the beginning of Apple (Linda was based in NY). Jane called off her engagement to Paul on July 20th, 1968 (after she caught Paul with another woman named Francie Schwartz). Paul & Linda became an item and moved in together about 3 months later - in the fall of 1968. They got married on March 12th, 1969. They began recording the Ram album version of "Back Seat of My Car" on October 22, 1970... but Paul had played an early version of it during the "Get Back" sessions in January of 1969. So Paul had come up with the song just a couple months after he and Linda had started living together in the fall of 1968.
There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this album. Every track is a gem and sooooo feel good. A masterpiece. 😊😺
Wonderful, uplifting, life-affirming song, one of McCartney's best. It captures that feeling of young love, standing defiant against anyone who tells them they're not meant to be together (the press, fans?). Very much in the style of the Beach Boys' pocket symphonies. It's no surprise that McCartney's favourite track of all time is God Only Knows. This though has some real bite and defiance as well as being a touching declaration of love. Brilliant melodies and harmonies as you'd expect from Macca. So nearly a Beatles song - Paul demoed this during the Get Back sessions - see the recent Peter Jackson series. Don't forget to check out Another Day / Oh Woman Oh Why - also on the 'Ram' CD I sent you - they're not bonus tracks, but a standalone hit single recorded during the 'Ram' sessions. The single reached number 2 in the UK and number 5 in the US. Then move on to the Band On The Run album, which is another McCartney classic. For anyone interested, I had the privilege of interviewing drummer Denny Seiwell about the making of 'Ram' and the early Wings albums earlier this year - just Google search for 'jeremy blackmore journo portfolio denny seiwell'. Denny's a really lovely guy.
I think this is my all time favorite Paul McCartney solo song.
Ram is an absolute masterpiece! It ties with Sgt. Pepper and Revolver for my all time favorite albums by anyone!
Brian Wilson probably loved this.
It *is* very Wilson-y. It's even a car song.
Thanks for your reviews of these songs. The album's a personal favourite of mine and I think you caught its vibe perfectly. There's something about the atmosphere of this album which I find very difficult to put into words but it always seems to leave me in a better place when I listen to it.
Hi Justin. Dave from London, with Friday On My Mind. One of my favourites from Macca, but it also shows up why so many people criticised his solo stuff. Yes, it's shallow and it's all about the pop hooks. But we get romance, Paul's sweet melodic voice as well as his rocky yell, and it's like a pocket symphony, with so many musical ideas crammed into four minutes. I would still say that my favourite of his love songs to Linda is My Love from the following album Red Rose Speedway
Red Rose Speedway was my first McCartney album, and bought for it the song "My Love". I've not heard it in literally decades, but at the time I really enjoyed the album. It's by no means a classic album, but it has some real gems on it. It's odd that "My Love" seems to have been forgotten, as I remember it being huge at the time. Great song.
"My Love" is a freakin' beautiful song!!!
Such a great song and album and 51 years later it is still getting rave reviews. Paul and Linda and friends created one of the great post Beatles solo albums.
Paul and Linda had "that fresh flame" until the day Linda died, from what I understand. They had been married 2 years when this album was released, so yes, it was still early in the relationship.
Kids got talent. He’s going places. 😎
I loved your reactions to this whole album and the entire time I was just waiting for you to get to this track. I KNEW it would floor you and you did not disappoint. There’s another young man doing RAM and he’s just about to get to this one and I’m looking forward to his reaction.
I’m sure other commenters told you this album got SLAMMED by the critics but I think it was mostly they were still blaming Paul for breaking up the Beatles (he did not nor did Yoko).
I “discovered” this album in 1976 and had it on 8-track so songs were cut in the middle as tracks changed but I still loved it then and now the box set with this, the mono mix, the instrumental album called “Thrillington” and some outtakes (and a book). Look for it online if you can.
Ty David!
Great song, better than I remembered. Like the previous track. Both still aren't included among the best songs of the album, but end with dignity and energy an excellent album. Thanks for taking us to this trip through the past, JP.
This song points the way to much of Paul's later solo work. It's effortlessly melodic with deft piano playing, those George Martin strings, loads of hooks, masterful vocal arranging... not a bad end to an album full of fine songs.
Love this album especially this cut! It gets to my heart for some reason! Thanks
Is there a bad song on this album? There might be but it's a masterpiece
Check out “Another Day”
Not included on the album but with the same trademark McCartney gorgeous melodic hooks.
Highly recommended.
We may end up in Mexico city!
Greetings from Mexico
Listen to Paul Mccartney "Once Upon a Long Ago". A BEAUTIFUL and criminally underrated song.
Don’t forget “Another Day”! Archive collection
A great song and arrangement to end a great album, with skilful production to help lay out its ideas more clearly.
Great job! There’s a single “another day” that was not on the album (very good). Next should be Band on the Run, and if you think closer was great, wait for the closer on Band on the run!
Or you could do George “s All-things must pass . Also later Oct in the new remix of the Beatles revolver. Keep it up!
This is easily one of the top 5 solo McCartney songs. Great stuff.
One of my favorite Paul songs. I wonder what it would sounded like if they put it on Abbey Road.
Better.
@@-davidolivares Would have fit in great in the medley. I'm gonna have to rewatch Get Back to see if they show him playing it.
@@John_Locke_108 - Paul plays an early version of "Back Seat of My Car" on January 14th, 1969... during the "Get Back" sessions. That should help you find it.
@@aBeatleFan4ever Thanks! I have a memory in my mind of it but I don't trust my brain.
JP- Nice job on McCartney's album reviews. What's next, Wings Wild Life album?
WE believe that they can't be wrong too !
You finally got to this song! Thank you!
The line, "we believe that we can't be wrong" is so poignant, it can be read in many levels, including The Beatles breakup.
Definitely :) Ty Matt
Paul is simply a genius.
I know this might sound hyperbolic to some, but to me, Paul & Linda were the ultimate Love Story! He so unabashedly loved her that he was determined to not only NOT hide it, but to shout it out and declare it to the world!
Of course, John also did this over Yoko, and theirs was also a beautiful love story, but it got overshadowed by all the other BS. But John was JUST as determined to "shout it to the rooftops" about his love for Yoko, He was just as vocal about it as Paul was about Linda, but John's songs about his love for Yoko were not as "grandiose" as Paul's were.
That's not a criticism, just an observation of two of my favorite musicians from the most important band there ever was, who changed my entire life, as they did the lives of the world who grew up listening to them!
Justin, I am hoping SO HARD that you will go back and do "McCartney", his first solo album! MAGICAL!!!
And then, "Band on the Run" and "Venus & Mars"!!!!😃
I just listen to his unreleased track India on TH-cam. Made me cry. So clearly about Linda just a few years after her death and he's trying to find her. In the song, Paul says he doesn't know where she's gone but he's going to find her again.
@@Katehowe3010 Great idea!!! Think Justin would be up for it?
One of my favorites. Epic
This song reminds me of an old girlfriend from 1981. RIP beautiful Shelley!
There is no greater voice than James Paul McCartney
A joyous song. McCartney is brilliant. I grew up with everyone praising Lennon and calling McCartney a schmaltzy songwriter who never came close to what he did in the Beatles. Paul did a huge range of music. Some was schmaltzy, some was pretentious, but some was brilliant.
The Ram album was the first album that I bought. I must have played it 500 times!
Wow, I took it completely the other way. I bought this album when it came and I always thought it was the other way around, parental control.
"And listen to her Daddy's song, we believe that we can't be wrong!"
I thought it was the same parental iron fisted control that manifested in the confusion of "She's Leaving Home", and more famously, Romeo and Julliet.
Of course I'm probably wrong, but I formed these ideas when I was feeling overwhelmingly oppressed. Parents aren't great listeners.
Hello… Juniors Farm
My favourite album from Paul would be red rose speedway or band on the run
For me this is romantic treacle. Pop for young and somewhat naive lovers. No a bad thing in itself and there are songs that fit this mold that I love but this felt like something from a decade earlier. Odd how I am more comfortable with other songs that harken back to earlier musical styles. If this had been on Sgt Peppers I would have loved it so it evidently is more me than the song itself.
I see a lot of love for RAM in the comments but I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a dissenting voice: it didn't do a lot for me.
I found this particular track to be ok, but nothing more.
a beatles cast off apparently. Not my cup of tea.
*Apropos of the beatles... here's a top tune for your consideration: 'Beatlemania', by New Fast Automatic Daffodils, from their album Body, Exit, Mind. A great album, well worth a play.
@@Katehowe3010 I can only sow the seeds, as for the rest... But you know what they say, hope springs eternal 🙂 🤞
WHITE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to love these last couple songs but to me, they don’t equal the others. They predict the silly love songs to come. Lack of depth, just busy. There are some nice parts, don’t get me wrong.
I’m going to repeat myself, a great album with a couple clunkers. I usually don’t skip them but I might in the future. Another Day should be included here, an earlier single. Way better…
The I don’t usually do the b-sides and singles rule should be done away with. That’s half the fun.
Piece assembled from several themes, which I do not find exceptional but not unpleasant either. A bit disappointing ending for me.
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.
Would rather listen to Yardbirds, pecking away at the Rolling Stones. But I get my Kinks off to the Canterbury scene, if you know what I mean, Uncle Albert? Macca ain't no Mozart or Schubert. And only one fourth of a much better quartet! Peace.
