It's pretty mind blowing thinking about Paul just noodling away on his guitar and coming up with this. Man, I wish I could do that...

I always think of "ER" when I hear this. There was an episode from way back involving Sherry Stringfield's character, her sister on the show, and a lost baby. I don't remember the particulars of the story, but I remember them singing the song to get past the hurt.

Howard Stern singing this song must be one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

You are so off about the meaning of that song.

Anyway, this is one of the few of Paul's songs that I actually like.


I'm sure you can reference the theology to back your statement.

Cheers to you. I still can't pick this one. Pretty complicated for your first, IMHO.

Hey, Bill - you could play this backed with Kate Bush's "Aerial" with her laughing birds and really drive people nuts.



Plus "Birds" by Quasi (the one from "Featuring 'Birds' ", as opposed to
"Birds" by Quasi, from "Field Studies". Details, details.)

Anyone ever listen to this cut back-to-back with the song
"Blackbird", by Wings (from the "Band On The Run" album)?

I detect a similarity . . . which one's better?

Well said!!

BTW. That chirping that seems to annoy some listeners is in fact an English blackbird. ( Sorry, but I don't remember his full name )

This is my favorite Beatles song because it is art and it is pop and it's the emergence of Paul as a songwriter in his own right.

(My favorite song by John was written years later. It is called "Imagine" and has the best lyrics of any pop song in the English language.)

Great song, but so overplayed . . . For a while, in my place of worship, I had to hear it almost every week. It was not played well either. I think if you are going to perform this song, you need to either be the Beatles or do it silently.

Teeny bopper tinge? What albums have you heard? Rubber Soul? Let It Be? C'mon man.
