  • This song is awesome!!

  • It really amazes me how alot of paul's best music was largly unheard on the radio. I always thought this song was more beautiful and the lyrics more relevant than some of his hits. Who picks what songs to release anyway? They dropped the ball on this one cause its awesome.(you tube user's mom)

  • una vera opera folk di Sir Paul

  • this song makes me wanna make a dramatic film

  • this song is for smoke a pot

  • Excellent souvenir me rappelant mes 3 enfants entrain de chanter en choeur cette chanson. Le temps passe vite et ils ont grandi tellement vite.

    Merci Paul Mac Cartney

  • When I bought the London Town LP I recorded it onto a 45 min per side cassette, so the last song was this one and the opening bars of Morse Moose and the grey Goose with the Morse Code but before the big chords kick in. For years I actually thought that was how Don't it Bring You Down finishes and it actually sounds good if it ends that way, it's in the right key and it's like a reprise ending you get on so many McCartney songs.

  • I have this album...it is a great album....I need to get it on cd...not a bad song on it....I really love "Cafe on the Left Bank"

  • Just come here from Roy Harper's One Of Those Days In England - The Wings on two outrageously top tracks within the space of a year. Life's sometimes almost too good to bear.

  • This song just flat out ROCKS!!!.....in a low key way. Lovit!!!!!!!!

  • Love Paul's voice in the first verse at a lower octave that he never really used. Too bad he didn't sing more songs that way, sounds great!

  • Wings....incredible music....I 'm amazed that this was popular music in the day and now popular music is so often filled with fluff.

  • best protest song macca ever did and it does not bring you down..

  • Not a Neil Young cover .

  • ONE OF THE BEST SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MACCA AND DENNY WORKING TOGETHER, THEY MAKE BEAUTIFUL SONGS LIKE THIS....

    I LOVE IT SO MUCH

  • Macca and Dennys finest work together. Absolute class tune.

  • I'd forgotton just how good the Album cuts were. Not top 40 material to the Record execs. The i-tunes-single song downloads might kill the album concept. I'm hoping someone will find a way to release an "LP" on the net. otherwise no more "abbeyroads" Sgt pepper's? Tommy's, The wall. Just one song at a time? Glad we still have the "GOOD" music to remember.

  • @steele917 a good album is like a book, with songs as the chapters. we are returning to the 45rpm era with one at a time songs like you say. short attention span result? is the term "concept album" lost?

  • @steele917

    check out how NIN sells their music independently (ghosts)

  • @steele917 oh yeah, not top 40, but fuckin awesome.................this album is completely underrated

  • absolute masterpiece

  • Surreal. Were they doped?

  • An exquisite but forgotten track from Wings' London Town album. The song was co-written by Paul and Denny Laine, and was a true group effort as Denny contributes the excellent recorder and Jimmy McCullough in his Wings swan-song renders the fuzz lead guitar that gradually takes the song over. Paul, Linda, and Denny harmonize to sound like Peter, Paul, and Mary. One of Wings' loveliest songs ever...

  • @BruceBeatlefan That's Paul on electric lead guitar in this song. It sounds like him if you know Paul's style, imagine it without the fuzz and it's got his bendy strings. :) It also reminds me in parts a bit of the solos Paul plays on House of Wax(25 years later) believe it or not. Jimmy McCulloch either wasn't with the band anymore at the point it was finished at Abbey Road when the guitar was overdubbed or he wasn't available, I can't remember which. It's mentioned in a 1978 interview.

  • @GizziesGirl2 Thanks for the correction. I had always attributed that guitar part to Jimmy for no good reason except: 1. He was in on the early London Town sessions before leaving the group, 2. His life pretty much slid out of control from that point onwards, 3. I wanted his last Wings moment to be a memorably great one. Hence, this wonderful fuzz guitar had to be Jimmy McCulloch. Not very logical, is it? I'm pretty sad that it was McCartney and not McCulloch who did that part.

  • A great Song by the greatest singer/writer in the world. Of course 5 star from me. Should have 20 stars!!

  • Fabulous song. Why can't Macca write 'em like this any more?

  • @MartianTom

    He still does write good songs!! Yes, really.

  • A very good song from a very good album. It's my favourite piece from the album, it has been since I first heard it, maybe in 2000. Six years ago when one of my classmates died at the age of 17, this song helped me sooo much to get through it...it was very hard but this song helped me. Thank you Paul.

  • Great song

  • Great, Great, Great, Great song!!!...Fabulous

  • very macca, seems like he rolled out of bed with songs like this in his head.

  • ポールの曲の中でこれがベスト1

  • ,,,I know what you mean.

  • very, very underated song......thanks for posting

  • @feeeball yeah I agree, very underrated song, but how beautiful it is...

  • I used to sing this song when I was studying for my college tests.

  • @acepipe123 I use to sing this song everytime I have a hard time...

  • It´s true! Thanks Paul, for advising...

  • ... beautiful! What became of Denny?
