this song was wrote in scottland at the mccartney farm where he drank allnight long, and stayed in bed till late afternoon day after day as the beatles fell apart back in london. linda said she was certin she had married an alcoholic.paul himself has said many times he had no greater ambition at this point then to just sink down into oblivion. the song is ironic...very pretty melody but the lyrics tell of a very dark state of mind.
At "resting my mind" the song goes into a different, slightly psychedelic acoustic space. Is this a drug reference, and if so am I the fist to have noticed it (seems unlikely)?
@humperdinkysaurus you're not the first to notice. I heard it the first time i listened to this piece. I don't think it was a drug reference, but who knows. It's just slightly echoed. might've been accidental in the studio.?
again with this album...lol....its such a classic now, i guess when u first hear it new it tends to just be there but i finally saw him play this song ...2002 tour never gunna forget it!
I luv this song so much. The arrangement and the way the instruments and vocal SOUND is so terrific. I wonder what bass Paul used on this recording? I wonder if he used the Rickenbacker on the McCartney album?
I would rate this as one of Paul's better post Beatles tunes. "Maybe I'm Amazed" tops the list for me with "Here Today" a close second. I am sure Paul wrote this song with Linda in mind and it shows. "Amazed" was written for Linda and "Here Today" about John. Two people he loved and they are such great songs because of that love and affection.
Cherries was unappreciated at the time it came out, because no one wanted to believe that the Fabs were really breaking up. It was considered too stripped down for a "Beatle" to release. I love it. So great.
This is NOT the original version of the song from the album but a later remake. This version sucks !!!

The greatest version this song is by The Drifters with the lead vocal by Johnny Moore.
If you doubt this statement, just call it up on YouTube.
It was recorded by The Drifters in 1972 and released in England on Bell Records 45rpm #1269. C'mon, just give it a listen with an open mind and ear.

@meadowqueen I think he mainly used his Höfner 500/1 bass - but I'm not sure. But I totally forgot about the Rickenbacker so you may be right =)
