Thank you for mentioning that. It is incredible, and I was going to mention it. The great Todd Rundgren did the same thing, but it was a real rarity at the time.
Recognised as the most successful song writer of all time, he was also a key songwriter for the most influential band that ever produced music. In a few short years they pushed the boundaries of what popular music was, they changed the way popular music was recorded, and they changed the way it was marketed. McCartney is an outstanding musician and vocalist, his body work remains unsurpassed.
1st solo album since the Beatles broke up... Writes every song, plays ALL of the instruments... Inducted into the Rock-n- Roll hall of fame--twice. Thanks.
Paul's HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE (from the REVOLVER album) and I WILL (from the White Album) get my votes. But he has some of the most beautiful love songs, yes. HERE THERE EVERYWHERE is The Song that I believe every woman would love to hear... or 'live'.
"My Love" was a top of the charts hit for Sir Paul in the early 70's and at another end of his brilliant musical spectrum is "Silly Love Songs" written as a finger flip to former band mate John Lennon who said of Paul , "All he does is write silly love songs."
Wonderful reaction. The 70s was brilliant for music, any genre but especially prog and a song called Roundabout by YES off the Fragile album is a peach. Enjoy the 70s journey I did 🍁🎶⚘️🎶🍁
This song was on Paul McCartney's debut eponymous album that was widly panned as it came just at the end of the Beatles This song is about the mental anguish Paul suffered at that time, and his wife pulling him through It should have been released at the time as a single. Paul wrote this by himself, sings, and plays all the instruments
One of a handful of the greatest love songs ever written--this is how a man feels when he's REALLY in love with a woman, when he's found his Galadriel...
Ever? The Beatles as a group and individually have declined in popularity for a variety of reasons. I would have called them clearly greater than the Rolling Stones in the 70’s, but today the Stones are much more popular.
@@1dkappe Personal opinion only, but I think if that's true it speaks to the lack of good taste among today's young people. I have myself always thought of the Stones as third raters at best.I don't think there's been much that has come out since the 80's that musically worth a damn. Adele, Winehouse, a few others. And I don't think that's just because I'm old-I've always had a pretty discerning ear. There's quite a bit of good stuff to be found overseas, thankfully. But with today's domestic stiuff, mosrtly progranatic, uncreative, cookie-cutter autotuned trash, I have no reason to discard my tee shirt imprinted "It's not just that I'm old--your music really does suck."
@@geraldjensen6831 although I was introduced to the Beatles, Stones, The Who and others in the late 70’s, the passage of time and my love of blues has me reevaluating music from that time. The idea that the Beatles, collectively and individually, are “the greatest” is based mostly on sentiment and not “good” taste.
If you haven't already heard it, some of McCartney's love songs with the Beatles are wonderful. Here's a short list: "I Will" is folky/country, and gorgeous: ua-cam.com/video/p-abNGP1BK4/v-deo.htmlsi=VJASUYHQQ-HN6Xfr "Michelle" is pop, and the reason why so many females are named "Michelle" today: ua-cam.com/video/WoBLi5eE-wY/v-deo.htmlsi=0eo9LvX_kMxp2qGH "Got to Get You Into My Life" is jazz/rock fusion: ua-cam.com/video/rHwf0-yIemk/v-deo.htmlsi=iHF4PWbLfp7p6EgD "And I Love Her" is a gorgeous early Beatles' song: ua-cam.com/video/5tc0gLSSU1M/v-deo.htmlsi=lfxCuhQb-fJL391o "Oh Darling" is a scorching blues/rock late Beatles' song: ua-cam.com/video/erMgpfiOMSU/v-deo.htmlsi=BkXOIabVpGN4kc7Q Enjoy!
Great reaction to a great song. Paul McCartney is a great singer/ songwriter, both while he was with the Beatles and in his career afterwards. I would suggest that you react to "My Love" and "Silly Love Songs." Both of these came after he was with the Beatles. Also his songs while he was with the Beatles. "Let it Be", "Hey Jude", and "Yesterday."
Great to see a heartfelt reaction to a beautiful heartfelt song. The highlight of this amazing song for me is where he does the ooh ooh part which sounds like something visiting us from a different planet to give us a hug. Another song by Paul that might be worth checking out is Heaven On A Sunday. Also there's another heartfelt song by Paul Simon that might be worth a listen called St Judy's Comet. Thanks for your reaction.
His first solo album, 1970, with wife Linda occasionally helping on back up vocals. Maybe I'm Amazed was NEVER a single, but should have been. The radio stations were playing it over and over as if it WERE a single, but it was only on the album. At 82, Paul is still singing it in concerts. the little girl in the photos in Linda's daughter Heather from a previous marriage. the baby is Mary McCartney Linda and Paul's first child.
Every Night from this same album, McCartney, is great. Paul released McCartney III in 2020, the third album where he played all the instruments. There's a video from the album where Paul breakdances. The song is Find My Way. Great song too. (Breakdances with help from Beck and Jordan Johnson.)
I seriously like her perspective about the differences she has noticed concerning men and women in music. I strongly recommend that she also looks at The Carpenters, the Righteous Brothers, The Supremes, ABBA, and many others. One thing I've found is that greatness transcends time, generations, races, genders, and nationalities.
Another great reaction, Rere. The tricky thing about the release of this song on Paul's first solo album, "McCartney," is that in the liner notes he revealed for the first time that the Beatles had broken up. As you can imagine, this was devastating news to the pop/rock universe, so it was easy to overlook these gems at first, because the backdrop was so dark and bleak. It was gut-wrenching news for millions around the globe.
✨🎼✨🎼✨🎼 ... Great reaction .. so Paul was a heartthrob when he was in The Beatles all around the world. As he grew up and went solo , his songwriting skills and musical ability were at the highest level. I hope you react to "Blackbird" by Paul McCartney sometime soon. Keep bringing us these gems ReRe .. this song will live on forever. ❤️
It is a great tune. Later when he got the band Wings together, they would play this live and there was a live version of it on a Wings album iirc (Wings over America, I think), although this was originally on his first "McCartney" album. You might want to listen to some Paul McCartney & Wings. "My Love" is his other great post Beatles love song, but there's also Band on the Run, Jet, With A Little Luck and Live and Let Die, the Bond movie theme. Mull of Kintyre was the first 2 million seller single in the UK (1977), which I'm not sure has aged well, and there was Goodnight Tonight, pretty much the last decent Wings song, in 1979. When we get closer to Xmas, perhaps you could listen to his "Wonderful Christmastime" solo song.🎅
After the breakup of the Beatles, Paul was depressed and wandered off on the farm drinking too much alcohol. Linda would arrive after searching for him on horseback and drag him home. Saved his life!
Paul McCartney wrote and performed so many memorable "love songs" in his long and storied career. Maybe one of his best is the song he wrote honoring his late bandmate in The Beatles, John Lennon, "Here Today". ☮
"More Paul McCartney suggestions please" No problem! A few solo greats from the last half-century: Distractions House of Wax Here Today Beautiful Night Dance Till We're High Little Lamb Dragonfly Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five Riding To Vanity Fair Hope of Deliverance Back On My Feet Mr Bellamy Dear Boy Waterfalls I'm Carrying No More Lonely Nights The Note You Never Wrote You Gave Me the Answer Jenny Wren Mull of Kintyre Kicked Around No More Letting Go We All Stand Together Little Willow Somedays The Pound is Sinking Live And Let Die Why So Blue? Maybe I'm Amazed Mrs Vanderbilt Summer of 59 Wanderlust The World Tonight Tug Of War ...I could go on. Oh, and then there's The Beatles...
Part II 😁 Might as well add to the list of Legends!! Everyone has their favorite Rock singer but the favorite Rock singer of these Rock singers is Paul Rogers of the the band,,,, Bad Company! A good start of them is their title song from the same name sake album BAD COMPANY!! 😎☮️
Together and separately, Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote some of the greatest love songs in rock history. For a taste of the vulnerable side of Lennon, try "Oh My Love" (about his wife, Yoko Ono) from his "Imagine" album or "Julia" (about his deceased mother) from the Beatles' so-called "White Album." And let's not forget the third songwriter in the group, George Harrison. I suspect that Harrison's masterpiece "Something," with its intense longing and confusion, partly inspired McCartney to write "Maybe I'm Amazed."
To me, music is timeless. I understand music reflects our past, songs we grew up with etc. For a weak example... If a band of people in their 30's or 40s recorded "Maybe I'm Amazed" and it comes out completely different than Paul's here,,, It's still 'Maybe I'm amazed'. I find it very odd when people tell me "That was way before my time". Why is there a time limit on music? If you play a classical piece. It will sound at least somewhat similar. I do realize that recording technology has changed the ease and variety for a lot of artists. Some are going back in time to re-create past technology. Anyway, It's all fun! Thanks for the video!
VERY COOL!! Sir Paul McCartney is in more than one way Royalty!! His epic piece would be the one for a James Bond movie 🍿🎥 LIVE AND LET DIE!! Others; BAND ON THE RUN SILLY LOVE SONGS UNCLE ALBERT/ ADMIRAL HALSEY!! That's a start. Ok what's next? So I'm 9 years older than your Mum! What might she like? Elton John?? You should do a What me Mum likes reaction!!?? Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Naturally, Paul in his 80's can't hit the highs on this recording anymore. But it is a testament to his musical ability across multiple instruments and his voice at the time. I mean, he really doesn't have to tour anymore. In some ways I would prefer it if he didn't.
There is a whole intro to a BBC performance by African-American star Bill Withers, where he admits losing the standard male off-handed display of affection - on the tune 'Ain't no Sunshine'. Possibly worth checking out.
The sheep dog pictured is Martha of the song Martha My Dear. So, ya’ll can pretend this song is about Linda all you want, we know who the man really loves….
You need to do a reaction to the LIVE VERSION of Maybe I'm, Amazed by Paul McCartney and Wings that was recorded in the 70's. That version is like an entirely new song. I, like many others, prefer it to this recorded version. He sings it differently and it is much more dramatic than this version. Many UA-cam reactors do both versions. Here is the link to the live version. ua-cam.com/video/yxTdz3hw9Xo/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I, definitely, prefer the Wings version [from: Wings Over America🔥🔥] -...which, actually, became a bigger hit than this version ever did-, but: regardless: It is a SUPERB song (and beautifully heartfelt and powerfully emotional!). 💚💗💗 -Also: not that "this isn't" about Linda Eastman McCartney (Of course it, absolutely, IS!); however: it would behoove you (and anyone!) to understand that: the "place" this song comes from is one of: being completely lost/feeling westerly lost. ...After The Beatles broke-up, Paul McCartney, essentially, lost the ONLY stable thing in his adult life and something which had supported and driven him for ...over a decade [and, while a decade of time seems to move more quickly, after you have lived a number of them, as a teen or twenty-something, a decade is a "vast" expense of time! ...A LOT happens!]. ...SO: Paul felt alone and lost and totally uncertain of where he was going or what he, even, wanted. ...but he had met Linda and she supported him and helped him in this time and this song, essentially, was a "thank you" to her for helping him through something he had never (remotely!) experienced before and wouldn't have been able to do/get through (not nearly as effectively, anyway! -perhaps not at all 🤷🤷) without the support and love and understanding of someone who loved him, understood him and gave him both the space and the support, the security and ability to find faith and strength, again and (subsequently) to find his way through. It is deeply devotional and absolutely tied directly to McCartney's post-Beatles psychological experiences and/or "outlook" (if-you-will🤷). ...So it is a deeper sort of love... not simply devotional love" and/or "devotion to another" ...or, maybe, exactly that🤷: unlimited and unbreakable devotion something most people want or need, but can never trust or never reveal that they do want or need and fear they can never find, or, simply: do not, ever, find.🤷
Well, maybe I'd put it in the Top 30. There are a LOT of wonderful love songs in rock, many of them written in fact by Sir Paul, either with the Beatles or solo. You owe it to yourself to listen the Beatles/McCartney/Lennon/Harrison, even if you don't put up reactions of the songs on UA-cam, which I suspect bans most all that catalog (a disgrace, btw - how are young people going to know stuff if they can't share it?).
What amazes me is that Paul McCartney played all the instruments on this song, drums, base, lead guitar, piano, and organ.
Thank you for mentioning that. It is incredible, and I was going to mention it. The great Todd Rundgren did the same thing, but it was a real rarity at the time.
*bass, not base
Almost all😊
@@ploppill34what instruments didn't McCartney play?
Jack White and Lenny Kravitz also do this for some of their songs.
This was Paul's very first Album after the breakup of the Beatles. He played all Instruments by himself.
McCartney himself is amazing. On the short list of best overall musicians in the past 100 years.
He is high on my list
He will go down in history along with Bach and Beethoven
I believe Paul was really depressed with the breakup of the Beatles, and Linda help guide him out of that depression. She was everything to him.
Peace

In a few short years they pushed the boundaries of what popular music was, they changed the way popular music was recorded, and they changed the way it was marketed.

In my opinion, McCartney's greatest song. Simple, straightforward, and honest.
Written for his lovely, late wife Linda. RIP Linda 😊
I think he has said they were only apart two days in their entire time together.
@@phen277when he was jailed for marijuana possession in Japan?
First time? You have much to learn about this man.
All the instruments on this were played by Paul.
What talent he has!
You have to know that he playes and sing everything on this song no one else is involved 😊
Paul played all instruments on this track and I think the whole album.
a man falling deeply helplessly in love...and as noted, his love Linda helping him get thru the Beatles breakup, to which Paul was devastated.
1st solo album since the
Beatles broke up...
Writes every song, plays
ALL of the instruments...
Inducted into the Rock-n-
Roll hall of fame--twice.
Thanks.
The live version from 1976 is even more impressive.
You will not be disappointed.
Great review from a young person Paul was a wonderful love song writer se the album "Beatles Love Songs"; it will have you crying !
The greatest songwriter in history his list of number one's he's written or co-written is in the 30s.
Paul's HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE (from the REVOLVER album) and I WILL (from the White Album) get my votes. But he has some of the most beautiful love songs, yes. HERE THERE EVERYWHERE is The Song that I believe every woman would love to hear... or 'live'.
“My Love” is another ballad he wrote for Linda.
You can actually see and hear this song being fleshed out by Paul on the piano while still with The Beatles during the "Get Back" studio sessions.
Paul is awesome, this is the tip of an Everest sized Iceberg. For more, do Band on the Run, a huge song and album for him, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎤🎹🎸🎶🔥
This man is so special that he even makes a chromatic run on the piano better somehow.
such a beautiful song
You wouldn’t believe how lovely the seventies was for young love.
One of his greatest songs, even better with the coda he added live ...
"My Love" was a top of the charts hit for Sir Paul in the early 70's and at another end of his brilliant musical spectrum is "Silly Love Songs" written as a finger flip to former band mate John Lennon who said of Paul , "All he does is write silly love songs."
LOVE “My Love” !!!!!
Family slides of a much younger Paul, his wife Linda (RIP) and their beautiful family.
These pictures are from the time that this song was recorded and released... early 1970.
I'd forgotten how good this is.
That was so from the heart, what a lovely tribute to the mother of his kids.
In live shows, he sang this and played the piano at the same time.
Wonderful reaction. The 70s was brilliant for music, any genre but especially prog and a song called Roundabout by YES off the Fragile album is a peach. Enjoy the 70s journey I did
🍁🎶⚘️🎶🍁
As mentioned, the rock band Journey, their catalog is heavy on love songs.
This song was on Paul McCartney's debut eponymous album that was widly panned as it came just at the end of the Beatles
This song is about the mental anguish Paul suffered at that time, and his wife pulling him through
It should have been released at the time as a single.
Paul wrote this by himself, sings, and plays all the instruments
The album was "panned" by many critics... but the album was a huge hit (#1 in the US) and sold a couple million copies.

This is the studio version. It's great. But listen to the live version, too. That was was the hit single, 7 years later.
Wings over America album live version.
Glad she did the classic studio version first. Agree she needs to hear the live version as well.
Probably still the best thing he has released since The Beatles disbanded
Great to see a heartfelt reaction to a beautiful heartfelt song. The highlight of this amazing song for me is where he does the ooh ooh part which sounds like something visiting us from a different planet to give us a hug. Another song by Paul that might be worth checking out is Heaven On A Sunday. Also there's another heartfelt song by Paul Simon that might be worth a listen called St Judy's Comet.

I was 15 when this was released in 1970!
I think of the Sixties and Seventies ,as the 'Golden Age of Music'...

Agreed!
Paul McCartney wrote and performed so many memorable "love songs" in his long and storied career. Maybe one of his best is the song he wrote honoring his late bandmate in The Beatles, John Lennon, "Here Today". ☮
He wrote this and thought to himself, going solo is not so bad, I'm gonna be alright.

Should check out these rock love songs: Hendrix - Little Wing & Beatles - Something
People should check out "Wings over America" live version except Paul only plays piano on that one but it's also really good!!

Part II 😁 Might as well add to the list of Legends!! Everyone has their favorite Rock singer but the favorite Rock singer of these Rock singers is Paul Rogers of the the band,,,, Bad Company! A good start of them is their title song from the same name sake album BAD COMPANY!! 😎☮️
His 'Band On The Run' album is an all time great. Check out the title track.
You should probably see the Beatles playing Don't Let Me Down live on the rooftop. It's John's plea to Yoko, another very heartfelt song.
Together and separately, Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote some of the greatest love songs in rock history. For a taste of the vulnerable side of Lennon, try "Oh My Love" (about his wife, Yoko Ono) from his "Imagine" album or "Julia" (about his deceased mother) from the Beatles' so-called "White Album." And let's not forget the third songwriter in the group, George Harrison. I suspect that Harrison's masterpiece "Something," with its intense longing and confusion, partly inspired McCartney to write "Maybe I'm Amazed."
"Something" from "Abbey Road" is the love song.
Dig your reactions! Have a listen to Oh Darling by The Beatles. Paul’s vocals are incredible on that. Peace ✌️😎🤘
I struck me the other day that, wouldn't it have been nice to have had Linda McCartney's life?
I know she's gone but what a life.
He's playig the piano
To me, music is timeless. I understand music reflects our past, songs we grew up with etc. For a weak example... If a band of people in their 30's or 40s recorded "Maybe I'm Amazed" and it comes out completely different than Paul's here,,, It's still 'Maybe I'm amazed'. I find it very odd when people tell me "That was way before my time". Why is there a time limit on music? If you play a classical piece. It will sound at least somewhat similar. I do realize that recording technology has changed the ease and variety for a lot of artists. Some are going back in time to re-create past technology. Anyway, It's all fun! Thanks for the video!

I, definitely, prefer the Wings version [from: Wings Over America🔥🔥] -...which, actually, became a bigger hit than this version ever did-, but: regardless:
It is a SUPERB song (and beautifully heartfelt and powerfully emotional!).
💚💗💗
-Also: not that "this isn't" about Linda Eastman McCartney (Of course it, absolutely, IS!); however: it would behoove you (and anyone!) to understand that: the "place" this song comes from is one of: being completely lost/feeling westerly lost. ...After The Beatles broke-up, Paul McCartney, essentially, lost the ONLY stable thing in his adult life and something which had supported and driven him for ...over a decade [and, while a decade of time seems to move more quickly, after you have lived a number of them, as a teen or twenty-something, a decade is a "vast" expense of time! ...A LOT happens!].
...SO: Paul felt alone and lost and totally uncertain of where he was going or what he, even, wanted.
...but he had met Linda and she supported him and helped him in this time and this song, essentially, was a "thank you" to her for helping him through something he had never (remotely!) experienced before and wouldn't have been able to do/get through (not nearly as effectively, anyway! -perhaps not at all 🤷🤷) without the support and love and understanding of someone who loved him, understood him and gave him both the space and the support, the security and ability to find faith and strength, again and (subsequently) to find his way through.
It is deeply devotional and absolutely tied directly to McCartney's post-Beatles psychological experiences and/or "outlook" (if-you-will🤷). ...So it is a deeper sort of love... not simply devotional love" and/or "devotion to another" ...or, maybe, exactly that🤷: unlimited and unbreakable devotion something most people want or need, but can never trust or never reveal that they do want or need and fear they can never find, or, simply: do not, ever, find.🤷
Well, maybe I'd put it in the Top 30. There are a LOT of wonderful love songs in rock, many of them written in fact by Sir Paul, either with the Beatles or solo. You owe it to yourself to listen the Beatles/McCartney/Lennon/Harrison, even if you don't put up reactions of the songs on UA-cam, which I suspect bans most all that catalog (a disgrace, btw - how are young people going to know stuff if they can't share it?).
