Me reading everyone’s memories and smiling the whole time. The love here, for Paul, music, and for all the parents who have passed- but have kept their own memory alive in this wonderful music, by way of their kids looking back and connecting with the past. And at the same time keeping the music alive and passing the music to their kids. ❤
This song has probably the most perfect tempo. It has room for everything in it. From the percussion, bass line, piano, flute and horns.This is what perfection sounds like.
In the 1970s the parents drove from NJ to Iowa to see the relatives. I was probably 9 or 10 and this song was playing and on the route I saw signs for West Virginia as we drove through Southern PA. The part of the song where he sings "West Virginia" always brings me back to my youth with the warmth of Summer and time off to do leisure things...
Making dinner with my daughter who’s 31 and playing this song with her three year old and baby making all the instrument sounds singing 🎵 dancing around the kitchen… what a great song❤ reminds me of my childhood
good effort Royal . Once a marine always a marine . I can remember listening to this as a 12 yr old . joined the marines in 88 served 22 yrs ,best days of my life ..
16 all over again,,music has no bounderies when age comes in! It only gets better! More meaning,hearing the beats ,& tones better,the total meaning of it,I guess,imo PEACE!
Summer 76 the Bicentennial Yesr, did all kinds of things at school for the Bicentennial, Loved this Song then Great Song! The Best! Brings back some Great Memories
There really is no other song writer like Paul. He seemed to have a bottomless reserve of unique, catchy melodies, rhythms, and arrangements lying within. Gifted beyond compare.
This song reminds me of weekends at my dad's house as a kid. My dad is now gone. This song and many memories of him are still with me. Hope everyone's dad was as good as mine or better. Take care all.
My father is the reason my passion and love for The Beatles exists. I was born in 98’, nothing has or will compare to Paul, John, George and Ringo. They built the stage, everyone else plays it. Cheers

Im just a 29 year old boy whos thankful for the music that The Beatles and their respective solo projects have created; Makes my life a little brighter and i hope it does the same for the rest of you!!
This song always reminds me of family-both immediate and related. Especially now that all of my immediate family have passed away. I’m the youngest and am SUPPOSED to be the only one left. But not yet…it all seems so unfair somehow. Yet, life is full of things that are unfair. And the privilege is that I had them at all, I guess. I’ll admit to feeling a little knife in my heart when Paul sings ‘Brother John’…as one of my brothers was John (the other was Jim). They both died recently at age 59…and I can only hope that they knew I loved them very much.
Sorry for all your losses. Yes, life is unfortunately very cruel and unfair. Hope you are in a good place. I am 53 and lost my father who was 88 recently and that was hard.
My father told me he felt this song was about letting Jesus in to his life and asked if I agree. I said music is meant to be personalized and an interpretation of whatever they were actually singing about. He gave a look like he totally understood. Not long after we found out he was sick. I’m pretty sure he knew he was. See you on the other side Pop!❤
No proper words to "explain" that I can relate. I have lost both my parents and our 3 year old started school today. Once my Mom had her 7th recurrence, she knew. She loved All of "The Beatles".
McCartney left a road map for generations, as to what song writing is, how to do it well and serves a perfect study on raw talent. A legacy in history.
This takes me to a place in time when the air was sweet and the music made memories that can take you right back to that place in time and you can smell the same sweet air in your soul. God, life was so good then!
Mosdef...I was about 8yrs old when I first hear this song back in the cat island Bahamas and I was hooked on Paul ever since.solid song writer and singer.

@@zzzzxxxzxzxzxzxw. You listed two amazing singers with unmatched vocal talent, not because they are amazing song writers only, however you can whistle many Paul McCartney songs and many others near you including the 75 year old man in front of you and the 12 year old girl and her mother behind you, will know it’s Penny Lane, regardless, they will all have that song stuck in their heads until they all know it’s Penny Lane, then they will be singing it for hours to themselves, until they whistle it in public, passing it over to a few others within ear shot, who carry it away in their head just like they did. Killer Queen and Another one bites the dust, are great songs but not something you would normally whistle, or that would catch on to others if you did. Same as Dio Man on the Silver Mountain with Rainbow or Neon Nights with Sabbath. You and I are both right and wrong and that’s what’s so cool about music, it doesn’t matter, the fact is, music remains the closest thing we have to an actual Time Machine, it brings us back to a past memory of a certain person, place or time we miss in life. Paul McCartney does that with his songs more often than anyone else.

Thank You Paul McCartney you are a treasure to this world! I turned my music on in my truck this beautiful morning, on my way to my granddaughters soccer game and this song came on straightaway! I (We) are truly blessed! Peace and love
Reminds me of being very little and my daddy playing this song in our RV on road trips. My dad passed away in June 2016 but when I listen to this, I can still feel his presence. I miss you dad! Thank you for everything! Greatest dad in the world!
Soooo glad you have those memories to keep! My dear Dad was a music head also, and it rubbed off! These old tunes still make me feel free. Lost Dad in 1989. Keep on keepin' on. We'll all be together again " in that mansion in the sky"!
The remarkable power of music to bring you back in time. Beautiful song but it transports me straight to 1976 and what a nightmare it was for my family when my sister died at 19 at the hand of some scumbag. I fought for your cause as best I could Wanda when he was brought to justice. I still think of you often and I won't forget you.
Very talented, the person who created this song and others. The only problem is it isn't Paul McCartney. It's William Campbell. The original Paul was killed in a ritual sacrifice on 9/11/66. Both he and Lennon made a deal with the elites who rule over us. These people and entities are demonic. They participated in a ritual in which both Lennon and McCartney were told that they would all eventually be killed. That particular pact is called "Death for success." Paul got his a mere 3 years after the ceremony. We all know what happened to Lennon and when but it wasn't done at the hand of Chapman. It was the door man working at the Dakota that night who just happened to be ex CIA. Lastly there was the attempt on George, which would have succeeded had it not been for his wife. However they finished George off with Cancer. The only reason there was never an attempt on Ringo's life is because he wasn't a member of the band when the Ceremony took place and Pete Best was spared because they hadn't become famous before he was let go. Nothing in this world is as it seems folks. Nothing. Good day.
This is the most underrated Wings song of all time. McCartney's genius has always been creating songs that are extremely catchy yet sound so simple--though musically they are far from simple whether unique time signature and/or chord changes or adding perfect accompaniment instruments and percussion i.e. the snare pattern and flute riffs in this track. These are not typical things usually found in this type of pop song yet it fits so perfectly. Paul just makes songwriting and production seem so easy. John was always my favorite Beatle but there is no denying, imo, that the one member that was absolutely irreplaceable to the quality of music they produced was McCartney.
I'm not a musician personally, but your writing makes sense in my head. I believe you described it perfectly for fellow colleagues and musicians, and you wrote so well that I got it too. I listen to background music in that headphone zone and Mr. McCartney does it so well. Fascinated with Jeff Lynne and his background orchestral movements as well. If you have other stuff, I'd enjoy reading...
@@cdick what's the LOL for? It actually is 'underrated' or unrecognised for the genius composition that it is. It seems that some people don't understand what 'underrated' means - it means not valued or rated *highly enough*
there's just so much SPACE in this whole song - even when there's lots happening at the same time, there's space between instruments/tracks which mean the whole thing sounds so open
I remember this song from summer of 1976, 'which also wàs the bicentennial I was twelve years of age. Brings back alot of memories, thank you Sir Paul McCartney.
It reminds me of “Bolero” because there is the one key melodic refrain with so much room for other instruments to move in and out. A beautiful bit of musical layering from a true genius.
Wow, great musical observation! Those horns and trumpets, or whatever instruments they are here and weird talking background vocals > 4:23 > sound very much like sgt pepper...
MY FAVORITE TUNE FROM 1976 !! I WAS TEN YEARS OLD AND LIVING DURING THE SUPER SEVENTIES. A GREAT TIME TO BE A KID AND ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!!!!!!. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE ROCK ON GEN XER'S !!.
We are truly blessed to have these wonderful artist in our time. Sir Paul McCarntey, thank you for expressing your talents and giving us what has been gifted to you.
Bought a bootleg 8 track of the album in Tijuana for $3.00 in 1976. It sounded great. We listened to it all the way back to Florida. Even my mom loved to sing this song. Great Memories. Ahhhh.....Sweet Youth ☮
@@NaaHva Why does he walk the earth today? Why did he lead the band "Paul McCartney and Wings." Why would you make such a remark? He is alive to this day!
Everybody here has such fond memories related to this song. I wasn't born when it came out, but it made me want to build great memories to this song starting now!
I remember hearing this on the radio in 1976 when it came out, I was only 3 years old, I can remember that far back. A neighbor of ours she must have been 19 and she would take me to Santa Monica beach. This reminds me of summer of '76.
I know Paul's happy with Nancy but Linda's always number 1 in his life and she made her own money it didn't come from her daddy's company and she was a natural beauty she didn't need ma6
This song is a true classic and one of those tunes that truly reminds you of where you were and what you were doing the day you heard it. It helped me discover that Paul was in the Beatles and then I heard Martha My Dear and because of this, I play 4 instruments. Thanks to Paul, my favorite songwriter/musician/genius.
Sister Suzy - Paul's bride Linda (who recorded with Wings under the name Suzy and the Red Stripes) Brother John - Paul's brother-in-law Martin Luther - a joking nickname Sir Paul had for the late great John L Phil and Don -- the Everly Bros. Brother Michael -- Don Paolo's actual kid brother, whose name was indeed Michael and recorded music of his own under the name Mike McGear, so as not to be wrongly perceived as riding his Beatle bro's coat-tails. Auntie Jin -- real name Jane, Jin was a nickname. She was Paul's dad's sis. Uncle Ernie -- Keith Moon from the Who Uncle Ian -- A cousin of Paul's.
wow, i always wondered about the names. touching and meaningful song for him. I was in my early teens when these song were coming out, loved em then and still do.

Riding around in the summer of 1976 with windows down on my aqua-colored Datsun B210. Listening to this song. I’m on summer break from college, with my whole life ahead of me.
Had this song running in my head the other day. Didn't hear it on the radio, just think that McCartney's music is reverberating through the universe at this point and it's a part of the natural world.
playing in the yard on a sunny day. Mom was listening to wings in the kitchen. '73-74. I was 3 or 4. I'm glad the chemicals zipping around my brain show me that from time to time. Reminds me that life can be beautiful.
Está canción me la enseñó mi abuelito, quién fué cómo un padre para mí. Fué la persona qué me enseñó que el amor son las acciones que se hacen de corazón hacia alguien, aunque tengas poco. Siempre ponía música, a veces amanecía los Domingos con está canción. Cada día lo extraño con todo mi ser, cómo quisiera amanecer con está canción otra vez, y saber que estas ahí. Gracias Paul, por hacer qué mi abuelito tenga tremendo gusto musical. ❤️
I was a child when this came out, but for some reason I drew that exact same meaning from the song. To me it always felt like my relatives who had passed on being welcomed into Heaven.
Saw you on 3.12.2018. I am still shaking, I was taken to '60s, you are a sweet man paul, thank you thank you thank you for doing what you are doing and having such a beautiful soul
I was in basic training at Great Lakes Naval training camp and a few of the Company Commanders were whistling this catchy tune, then I actually heard it on the radio our Company or platoon visited the on base doctors office.
Yes, I with my sorority sisters bonded together, made a bicentennial quilt and took it for display in Indianapolis, In. We took the quilt thru an ice and snow storm. This song got me thru the interstate thru snow banks and icy patches. Thank you so much for recording this Paul.
This is one of my five favorite Wings/McCartney songs of all time. First time I heard it was at my aunt and uncle's house in 1977. That 11 year old was floored. 40 years later, still an amazing tune.
One of my earliest memories was packing-up to move to New England, from Michigan. 'Let Em In' was on the radio EVERYDAY, along with "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon. Loved those days. On an aside, always felt the "Military Drumming" in this tune was sort of an ode to the upcoming American Bicentennial, 1976.
This song is one my earliest memories from when I was a 4 year old. We drove to the beach for vacation. This song must of played on the radio twice every hour during our 9 hour car trip.
we were at a camp up the rail line.we were high and this came on. i melted in my chair it was so relaxing..soon as i got back to town off to the record store and they had one copy. i baught it and love it to this day.it came out a few yrs ago on double vinyl . its great.
Riding in the car with my mom, on the way to 1st grade, 1976. Rest in peace, mom. Love you.
❤
Such a precious & beautiful memory. 🤍🕊
Heard this in a car ride too with my parents, '77 coming home Saturday nights from their bowling games.

My kids listen to all the music I did. My middle child would always say, "I wish I grew up in the 70's."
True to that ,boy how time flies. I'm 61 now and my grand children is enjoying this song in fact the entire album.

what did he pass?
@@wiggleword Sounds like something Rose Nylund would say
A man from Kentucky.
Thank You Paul McCartney you are a treasure to this world! I turned my music on in my truck this beautiful morning, on my way to my granddaughters soccer game and this song came on straightaway! I (We) are truly blessed! Peace and love
Reminds me of being very little and my daddy playing this song in our RV on road trips. My dad passed away in June 2016 but when I listen to this, I can still feel his presence. I miss you dad! Thank you for everything! Greatest dad in the world!
Magic music,take care.
Bless ya .Reminds me of trips to the beach at South Padre with my uncle. As a boy. I am now in my 50s
Sorry about your loss
Soooo glad you have those memories to keep! My dear Dad was a music head also, and it rubbed off! These old tunes still make me feel free. Lost Dad in 1989. Keep on keepin' on. We'll all be together again " in that mansion in the sky"!
The remarkable power of music to bring you back in time. Beautiful song but it transports me straight to 1976 and what a nightmare it was for my family when my sister died at 19 at the hand of some scumbag. I fought for your cause as best I could Wanda when he was brought to justice. I still think of you often and I won't forget you.
Omgosh sooooo saddd for your loss. im glad you are a FIGHTER
My heart goes out to you and yours, L.A. Norm.
so sorry for your loss!!! Be comforted in knowing that justice will come to him when he stands in front of the Great Judge!!!!!
“Antigen”💉 “let ‘em in!”🤯
I think was released in 1975.
I heard this amazing song for the first time today on satellite radio and it was like hearing music for the first time..... 😢 loving this song....
Rahmel Freeman nice syclone
Rahmel Freeman welcome to my world.
Rahmel Freeman I heard it on the bridge station on XM
Love it
Drew Jackson thanks!
You´ve lose a long time with waste music. Welcome!!!
Reading thru these comments has made me cry, so many beautiful memories being shared here. What a beautiful song 💜
Great happy memories 😊😊
Totally agree with you, panda!
Not totally teared up, is there a difference? Great years
@@vpwm5952 I don't understand what you mean...?
Paul McCartney is the best song writer and the best singer today.
Yes indeed
Patrick Brown, Right. Totalmente de acuerdo, saludo desde Vichada, Colombia.
I don't like absolute statements, but this, while highly debatable, is close enough to true.
OH,MY MORE THAN ADORABLE PAULIE,YOU ARE THE BEST OF ALL IN THE WORLD !!!!!
Very talented, the person who created this song and others. The only problem is it isn't Paul McCartney. It's William Campbell. The original Paul was killed in a ritual sacrifice on 9/11/66. Both he and Lennon made a deal with the elites who rule over us. These people and entities are demonic. They participated in a ritual in which both Lennon and McCartney were told that they would all eventually be killed. That particular pact is called "Death for success." Paul got his a mere 3 years after the ceremony. We all know what happened to Lennon and when but it wasn't done at the hand of Chapman. It was the door man working at the Dakota that night who just happened to be ex CIA. Lastly there was the attempt on George, which would have succeeded had it not been for his wife. However they finished George off with Cancer. The only reason there was never an attempt on Ringo's life is because he wasn't a member of the band when the Ceremony took place and Pete Best was spared because they hadn't become famous before he was let go. Nothing in this world is as it seems folks. Nothing. Good day.
This is the most underrated Wings song of all time. McCartney's genius has always been creating songs that are extremely catchy yet sound so simple--though musically they are far from simple whether unique time signature and/or chord changes or adding perfect accompaniment instruments and percussion i.e. the snare pattern and flute riffs in this track. These are not typical things usually found in this type of pop song yet it fits so perfectly. Paul just makes songwriting and production seem so easy. John was always my favorite Beatle but there is no denying, imo, that the one member that was absolutely irreplaceable to the quality of music they produced was McCartney.
Love each and every word of your comment. Completely agree
I'm not a musician personally, but your writing makes sense in my head. I believe you described it perfectly for fellow colleagues and musicians, and you wrote so well that I got it too.
I listen to background music in that headphone zone and Mr. McCartney does it so well.
Fascinated with Jeff Lynne and his background orchestral movements as well.
If you have other stuff, I'd enjoy reading...
"underrated" LOL
@@cdick what's the LOL for? It actually is 'underrated' or unrecognised for the genius composition that it is. It seems that some people don't understand what 'underrated' means - it means not valued or rated *highly enough*
@@raindrops21_9 call Paul on his jet and let him know
You can't beat this music,growing up in the 70s was the best!!

So True!!!!! Can we go back?
The sound track of my life. I hear this one and think of age 8, driving around with my Dad, and him playing this on the radio. How I miss them days!
there's just so much SPACE in this whole song - even when there's lots happening at the same time, there's space between instruments/tracks which mean the whole thing sounds so open
Never heard space used as a term this way but I’m ignorant on music term. But space is plenty in this song. 56 years old and learning.
Nail on the head and a great description. I totally get what you mean by a lot of space.
I remember this song from summer of 1976, 'which also wàs the bicentennial I was twelve years of age. Brings back alot of memories, thank you Sir Paul McCartney.
It reminds me of “Bolero” because there is the one key melodic refrain with so much room for other instruments to move in and out. A beautiful bit of musical layering from a true genius.
I was twelve, too, back in that cool bicentennial year...@@michaelwelch3296
Briiliant Production of this Summer of '76 hit of Paul McCartney & Wings! Bicentennial Year. I was only the age of 11. Memories. Paul was a genius
Он есть гений)))
Whether it's with the Beatles or by himself, McCartney can still rock, even today.
....rock & roll is not a disease that you ever recover from...it's for life,...like it or not.
I wished I could grow up in the 1970’s …. All over again. Such Happy times !!
AMEN TO THAT MY FRIEND
Me too ✝️👍🎸
This song has a strong Sgt Peppers feel with the diverse instrumentation.
Nice!
That would explain why it is my favorite Wings hit.
Wow, great musical observation!
Those horns and trumpets, or whatever instruments they are here and weird talking background vocals > 4:23 > sound very much like sgt pepper...
Never noticed, but you are On Pointe
….oh my god you’re right. No wonder I love it ♥️
I'm a trombone player so I love the trombone solo It was one of the first trombone things I could play!
played it in high school... miss it
That's awesome!
Frickin sick i gonna learn it
Can't put into words what this song means to me. It's like home or family. I literally have for this song Paul and Wings
OMG, LITERALLY??????????!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮
1976 -14 heard this song for the first time, 2024 still listening...a life well spent.
me too
I was 15.
MY FAVORITE TUNE FROM 1976 !! I WAS TEN YEARS OLD AND LIVING DURING THE SUPER SEVENTIES. A GREAT TIME TO BE A KID AND ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!!!!!!. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE ROCK ON GEN XER'S !!.
I was going on 12 amazing time. I wish I had a better childhood but the music was good
I was 10 too!:)
NICE TO HEAR FROM OTHER SUPER SEVENTIES KIDS WHO WERE ALSO THERE AT THAT TIME. SUPER 70'S FOREVER. ROCK ON A B!!!!!.
ANOTHER SUPER SEVENTIES KID!!! ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO GREW UP DURING THIS GREAT DECADE. HOW I MISS THE PAST!!! ROCK ON J Q!!!!
I Was 13 In 1976....Was A Great Time To Be Alive...Even At That Age
Such a brilliant track! Reminds me of being a kid
Amen! Don't you just love this man's talent! All four of them!!! I had a Paul McCartney doll when I was in grade school. And a wig!
Did it take batteries?
Robsa walker same here
robsja walker jk bñn
robsa walker me too....
Who knew that these were the days that we would treasure most ❤️✊🏼
So true.
Spot on!!
Amen to that. Had a summer job and on the way home, used to hear this song every day. Fun people, good times.
I dunno... I think Paul was singing hints as to what’s to come in 2020 ... who’s knocking at the door? “Antigen”🤯
@@thinkinsidetheboxsquarecir3303 Holy cow, very good word use. Never thought of that.
I love Paul Mc Cartney a true genius of music a legend
We are truly blessed to have these wonderful artist in our time. Sir Paul McCarntey, thank you for expressing your talents and giving us what has been gifted to you.
Sir Paul is a genius. We need to cherish this man, his genius, his soul, and his art, as long he lets us!
The drums sound killer on this and I love how they keep changing from straight beat to accents and military march. Awesome stuff!
I thought the same thing man
Yes the drums sounds great,I remember this song in 1976, when I was 10☺️
Joe English, great drummer, say no more.
YA...what you said...
Beautiful. ❤️
Bought a bootleg 8 track of the album in Tijuana for $3.00 in 1976. It sounded great. We listened to it all the way back to Florida. Even my mom loved to sing this song.
Great Memories. Ahhhh.....Sweet Youth ☮
Salute to Sir Paul and his wife Linda, who is now deceased. Rest in peace Linda.
Rest in peace Linda 🎶
Lady Linda
Linda was Paul's true love. RIP Linda
And RIP Paul. He died in 1966 in a car crash
@@NaaHva Why does he walk the earth today? Why did he lead the band "Paul McCartney and Wings." Why would you make such a remark? He is alive to this day!
I just love this song, I have never been able to say if it's sad, happy, angry or peaceful, maybe all of them.
Very few songs can do that. Sad and happy
I feel the same way exactly!!
Ppcyycc C ty iPhone yuyyyyyy but
This song is pure genius! 👍👍
The snare has that Scottish pipes march to it. A piccolo as well I think
yup, must have been up all night coming up with the lyrics to this one smh
I wouldn't go that far and call this genius..
Uncle Ernie and yeah open the door
And now we have rap. What happened world?
Thanks Mom and Dad, For Exposing me to the best music❤
Everybody here has such fond memories related to this song.
I wasn't born when it came out, but it made me want to build great memories to this song starting now!
any luck?
my dad had this on vinyl, i remember hearing it, those lovely crackles and LOVING it as I grew up. always been a McCartney fan mostly. i'm 37 :)
My favorite wings cut till 19 hundred and 85 but I still drift away though not as impaired as I would be then
Same man
I have nostaglia for a time I was not even alive! My parents got me into Wings. When I hear Wings it makes me remember my father.
I remember hearing this on the radio in 1976 when it came out, I was only 3 years old, I can remember that far back. A neighbor of ours she must have been 19 and she would take me to Santa Monica beach. This reminds me of summer of '76.
I was also 3! How cool that we remember this, seems impossible
One of my favorites back In the day, 1978 the best times
I remember buying this album and listening to this track over and over again …. So simple , so relaxing , so timeless
He is a truly a modern day mozart.......never forget this friends.
I know Paul's happy with Nancy but Linda's always number 1 in his life and she made her own money it didn't come from her daddy's company and she was a natural beauty she didn't need ma6
Linda didn't need make-up
Most definitely!!
well put ❤️🔆
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A trombone solo?? Only Paul could come up with a brilliant idea like that..Mistro.!
The trombone solo is the best
Funny to think this song inspired me to learn to play the trombone at age 7.
Trombone solo is reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band..
well observed! two pieces of music have trombone solo. this one and Guajira (Santana). It sounds terrific in both songs!!
@Paul McCartney imposter...
What a timeless classic.
2024 any one?
1987 best year !
Sure. As good as the day it came out.
I prefer today 😌
Me
Knock knock
This song is a true classic and one of those tunes that truly reminds you of where you were and what you were doing the day you heard it. It helped me discover that Paul was in the Beatles and then I heard Martha My Dear and because of this, I play 4 instruments. Thanks to Paul, my favorite songwriter/musician/genius.
Martha My Dear changed my life as well!!!!
Happy 80th birthday Sir Paul, thank you for letting us in!
the beauty of simplicity
Indeed.
Benj Clarke Indeed, indeed
If only it was simple to write simple songs that are also beautiful!
Pure Gold ! Love ya Paul !! Takes us back to late 70s, late summer, out by the pool, time stood still back then.....
Peace in the world 2024
Sister Suzy - Paul's bride Linda (who recorded with Wings under the name Suzy and the Red Stripes)
Brother John - Paul's brother-in-law
Martin Luther - a joking nickname Sir Paul had for the late great John L
Phil and Don -- the Everly Bros.
Brother Michael -- Don Paolo's actual kid brother, whose name was indeed Michael and recorded music of his own under the name Mike McGear, so as not to be wrongly perceived as riding his Beatle bro's coat-tails.
Auntie Jin -- real name Jane, Jin was a nickname. She was Paul's dad's sis.
Uncle Ernie -- Keith Moon from the Who
Uncle Ian -- A cousin of Paul's.
well.. sounds like you really know your McCartney. To me only the names Phil & Don and Uncle Ernie rang a bell, so to speak
***** Don Paolo is the second greatest male rock star of all time (David Bowie is the first)
thank you for sharing! I knew a few, however, you answered a lot more! tyty!
'do me a favour, let'em in' ---> only the nice persons
wow, i always wondered about the names. touching and meaningful song for him. I was in my early teens when these song were coming out, loved em then and still do.
His use of brass instruments is genius.. Especially a trombone solo... Only Mr McCartney
I remember being so lonely listening to this. I was about 8. Lovely song. Humble regards to you all.
Thanks Greg
You too brother
😀👍! Hope all is well with you man! I don't know you but I like your comment!
“Antigen”💉 “let ‘em in!”🤯
@@Marshall-uy2dv I like you, too! :)
Just heard The Beatles new song “Now and Then” so naturally I had to come here to have another listen to this classic.
Why this one in particular? Simply because it's a McCartney/Wings favorite of yours, or is there a more specific reason?
@@BilisNegraMcCartney is the superior Beatle, that might be why
Being born in 1967, so remember this being played on am radio, that being WLS Chicago, and 56 WHBQ Memphis, man I miss those days.
Late night WLS. Jeff Davis!
Google him. Golden voice. Still does promos/voice work etc...
Ron Carter I grew up with WLS! Ya CHICAGO 💋
Born 66
WHBQ, home of the legendary Rick Dees! The disco duck
Same here for year and WLS :)

Have Faith wow that's cool
Riding around in the summer of 1976 with windows down on my aqua-colored Datsun B210. Listening to this song. I’m on summer break from college, with my whole life ahead of me.
I was raised listening to all of Paul McCartney's music. I'm so blessed to have listened to his music for 20+ years
Your parents raised you with great taste 🥰
great voice, great flutes, great horns, great drums, great strings.... This song has it all.
Makes me wanna march with my piccolo. Love it
YES!!! That '70's Paul McCartney and WINGS!! This is a perfect evolution of the BEATLES songwriting!
Had this song running in my head the other day.
Didn't hear it on the radio, just think that McCartney's music is reverberating through the universe at this point and it's a part of the natural world.
In a dismal moment of my life, appeared this song. Changed everything and made life just a little bit better. Thanks, Sir Paul.
Best wishes for you...
@@kichigan1 And for you also. Blessings.
So glad for you! It’s a great song and so many different moments, changes in it not to mention how it pulls at your heart strings ❤
Wings always remind me of driving into Pittsburgh on a Sunday when I was a child in the 70's.
Mark Moses splitting scenes and songs parting pavement into Pittsburgh.
Return of the King
playing in the yard on a sunny day. Mom was listening to wings in the kitchen. '73-74. I was 3 or 4. I'm glad the chemicals zipping around my brain show me that from time to time. Reminds me that life can be beautiful.
What were you doing driving when you were a child....
Bob Lahblah this comment is beautiful
Está canción me la enseñó mi abuelito, quién fué cómo un padre para mí. Fué la persona qué me enseñó que el amor son las acciones que se hacen de corazón hacia alguien, aunque tengas poco.
Siempre ponía música, a veces amanecía los Domingos con está canción. Cada día lo extraño con todo mi ser, cómo quisiera amanecer con está canción otra vez, y saber que estas ahí.
Gracias Paul, por hacer qué mi abuelito tenga tremendo gusto musical. ❤️
A wonderfully simple and singularly charming song, for which we can thank Sir Paul ... and I do, very much.
Lost a best friend when this was out...always thought that it meant the Gates of Heaven...
aaishasmusic1963 Jesus...
Mark Colicci that's such a lovely thought :)
Mark Colicci
You never really lose a friend,- as long you hold him in your heart..
I was a child when this came out, but for some reason I drew that exact same meaning from the song. To me it always felt like my relatives who had passed on being welcomed into Heaven.
@@michaelpleasants9741 agree
Paul McCartney what a legend
Forever grateful - this song came out during one of of worst periods of my life, and cheered me up no end.
Saw you on 3.12.2018. I am still shaking, I was taken to '60s, you are a sweet man paul, thank you thank you thank you for doing what you are doing and having such a beautiful soul
One of many great songs released during the bicentennial summer of '76. The beat is almost hypnotic.
John Golofit yes dope beat! I skate to it
I was in basic training at Great Lakes Naval training camp and a few of the Company Commanders were whistling this catchy tune, then I actually heard it on the radio our Company or platoon visited the on base doctors office.
John Golofit I was 13 In 76 and I remember a bunch of us teenagers singing along and dancing,,It was magical.And I have a sister named Susy.LoL
Yes, I with my sorority sisters bonded together, made a bicentennial quilt and took it for display in Indianapolis, In. We took the quilt thru an ice and snow storm. This song got me thru the interstate thru snow banks and icy patches. Thank you so much for recording this Paul.
John Golofit I was thinking that the drum is just soothing
This is one of my five favorite Wings/McCartney songs of all time. First time I heard it was at my aunt and uncle's house in 1977. That 11 year old was floored. 40 years later, still an amazing tune.
One of my earliest memories was packing-up to move to New England, from Michigan. 'Let Em In' was on the radio EVERYDAY, along with "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon. Loved those days. On an aside, always felt the "Military Drumming" in this tune was sort of an ode to the upcoming American Bicentennial, 1976.
I'm a Giant Beatle fan I have a sister Susie a brother Michael and I had a Uncle Ernie love this song
This song is one my earliest memories from when I was a 4 year old. We drove to the beach for vacation. This song must of played on the radio twice every hour during our 9 hour car trip.
it been 43 years and they're still waiting outside.. LET EM IN!!
“Antigen”💉 “let ‘em in!”🤯
Childhood fanatic for this. He could write a song on the toilet and it's gold.
This song is with me on the road, always! For me this is his most beautiful song!! Thank you Paul!!!
we were at a camp up the rail line.we were high and this came on. i melted in my chair it was so relaxing..soon as i got back to town off to the record store and they had one copy. i baught it and love it to this day.it came out a few yrs ago on double vinyl . its great.
