PAUL McCARTNEY "flaming pie" cd/remastered boxset 1997
his twenty-third post Beatle collection
i regard this album as his "latter day career masterpiece".
album was produced by George Martin with assistance from Jeff Lynne and Paul McCartney
and because George an Jeff dont take crap from anyone in a recording studio Paul had to lift his game.
a couple of blues rockers on here, one features a duet with Mr Steve Miller.
a couple of other piano based rockers with the rest being ballads and acoustic based tracks..
lyrically and musically this stands up to anything from the Beatles catalogue.
tracks were recorded over a period of four years inbetween the recording of a classical album and one of his experimental albums and was the final album of his to feature vocals/keyboards from wife Linda before she died of cancer the following year.
if there were four Paul McCartney albums everyone should own then this would be one of them.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
looking back on fond days writing with John Lennon (1) Paul McCartney - The Song We Were Singing - Lyrics - YouTube audio with lyrics
the sad song he wrote for Ringo's children after their mother died of cancer: (1) Paul McCartney - Little Willow - Lyrics - YouTube audio with lyrics
the duet with Steve Miller: (1) Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie: Used To Be Bad - YouTube audio
the piano based title track slow rocker: (1) Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie (Live) - YouTube live
one of the most beautiful love songs he ever wrote: (1) Paul McCartney - Beautiful Night - YouTube video
and my favourite:
Somedays I look,
I look at you with eyes that shine.
Somedays I don't,
I don't believe that you are mine.
It's no good asking me what time of day it is,
Who won the match or scored the goal.
Somedays I look,
Somedays I look into your soul.
Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.
Sometimes it's hard,
It's hard to know which way to turn.
Don't ask me where I found that picture on the wall,
How much it cost or what it's worth.
Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.
We don't need anybody else
To tell us what is real.
Inside each one of us is love,
And we know how it feels.
Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who live in fear.
Somedays I don't,
I don't remember why I'm here.
No use reminding me, it's just the way it is,
Who ran the race and came in first.
Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who fear the worst.
We don't need anybody else
To tell us what is real.
Inside each one of us is love,
And we know how it feels.
Somedays I look,
I look at you with eyes that shine.
Somedays I don't,
I don't believe that you are mine.
It's no good asking me what time of day it is,
Who won the match or scored the goal.
Somedays I look,
Somedays I look into your soul.
found another track off the "Flaming Pie" album
partially recorded in the studio and partially beside a fire presumably on his Estate in East Sussex??
Linda beside him in the studio, looks like shes crying towards the end
then him solo beside the fire, he looks so anguished and pained as he stokes the fire at the end.
Goddamn that was sad!
