[ANNIEGAGUA]

My love !! He is killing me softly with his song... <3

[GeorgieGirl66]

Wish he could work this song into his concert program! Such a beautiful song and more songs like this need to be heard!!

[GeorgieGirl66]

I keep coming back....again.....and again. Love this song soooo much! Thank you Paul Mc Cartney!!

[MICKEYJOAN]

I love this song.. I am stunned it wasn't a radio hit. No one can do what he does. God bless Linda. Play it live Paul', please!!!

[fogg1264]

Amazing stuff love the press to play album & this song in particular. Happy memories thanks Paul!!!

[icanwaitanotherday]

Wonderful!



[wholewurld]

is that carole king

[fillevans]

I love this song. "Press to Play" was my favourite album of '86.

[DyordsNavatrutu]

Top notch!

[brushuk]

i remember watching this on 'the tube'.. waaaayyyy back........

lovely song, by an amazing songwriter

[jcastillopiano]

Even the songs wich didn't become a clasic, are clasics! Paul McCartney has always been one of the better composers is history of music. I can easily go from Bach to him. Happy to hear this version, it's a real treasure!

[inwoodliver]

how handsome here!

[GeorgieGirl66]

Beautiful song, beautifully done by a beautiful man! Thank you Paul McCartney!!!!!!!!

[LIMEY125]

Great to see again, I was in the audiance during the filming of this and later Met Paul. I have been searching youtube for the interview on the couch with paul that followed but havn't found it yet. you wouldn't have it by any chance. i was standing directly behind Paul during the interview that was done by some kid who was a celeb at the time following an apearance in a Maddonna vid.

[njriley55]

@LIMEY125 Was the interviewer a guy or girl? There is a 1986 Music Box interview on youtube by ArrowThroughMe, but nobody is standing behind him. Maybe you meant the 1987 Veronica Countdown interview? Lots of people on the stage in that one.

[LIMEY125]

@njriley55 He was a guy of around 12 or 13 years old and did a prety poor job, but still performed better than Paula Yates would have. He was enjoying his 15 minuets of fame after appearing in the Maddonna Video for 'Open Your Heart'.

[bluecanary75]

Should've been a single. One of my favorite songs from one of the most different albums of his career. Press To Play. (lovely lil album)

[walshfan2470]

@bluecanary75 Was a single in the UK,

[thenowuk]

@bluecanary75 it was a single!!!!! didn't do much tho

[Fab464]

This was released has single. I remember it did well on the adult contempory chart. It was played on soft rock or lite rock radio stations.

[lancastrianboy]

Very beautiful, very under-rated song x Another classic from Mr. McCartney x

[peteslater1]

genius

[GeorgieGirl66]

My love for you will always remain. Thank you for all the beautiful music and Happy Birthday!!

[zephyrquartz]

Dear Paully...

[peteslater1]

greatest artist of all time ,, genius

[macrockettere]

Please someone? Who is other woman singing next to Linda? Thanks!

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@macrockettere I think it's Kate Robbins- on Wikipedia under the"Press to Play "album this song is from there' s a lsit of everyone involved and what they do and it says Kate Robins as Harmony vocals

[Mersey26]

i agree, one of paul's loveliest songs circa this time. Lovely in its bare form.

[dreamer605]

the other girl singing with Linda M is Juidith LIght, she was on Whos the boss

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@dreamer605 Judith Light is an actress- not a singer

[HEV29]

Love Paul and all his songs. Tis is his Boyband phase, but there is on;y one boy and it's him - check his early 80s vids - you know what I mean

[whosyourbuddy100]

oh , this song is so gorgeous , even in its bare bones form , without the orchestra . i never understood why this song wasn't a bigger hit here in the usa . it's so beautiful , and one of my favorites by paul . the notes make such great sense together , and it's really such a simple song . it proves that when u get the right notes and chords together , it can be orgasmic .

[66nylorac]

I know he is the best bass player, and a prolific, and often fantastic song writer, but it is that voice, that pure, stunningly beautiful voice that gets me every time. What a treasure!

[TheBeatlesmakepeace]

This song is one of my favorties! I love this song! It makes a lot of sense too.

[1394celica]

感動しました(T_T)

[walshfan2470]

Who's the other backing singer?

[oliaiguambfigues76]

The late Vicky Brown, Joe's wife and Sam's mum.

She also sang Shaghai Surprise with George Harrison.

[katrin2801]

Really Pity he cant play it in the concerts.

Cuz of set-lists compose by his manadgers and they rely on people*s tastes. Sure mostly of them prefer Beatles songs (even lots of it Paul wrote by himself-i mean songs he plays now in the concerts).

But his creation with the Wngs are very underestimate.

We can listen it only there!!!

[tugofpeace]

Newcastle the Tube Dec 86, I got invited to this and Paul sang "Whole lotta shaking go on" as well. Only Love is a beautiful song should have been a big hit!

[GeorgieGirl66]

@tugofpeace Do not understand how it was not a big hit! I'm blown away everytime I hear it!

[loveyouzapped]

アルバム持っていたけど、全然聞いてませんでしたが、この曲のこ­のアレンジ版を聴くとなかなか良いですね。

実はファーストシングルの｢プレス｣も好きでしたが。

[rckrodregfus]

I'm always amazed by this song, no matter how many times I hear it!

[marcfnp90]

i love paul, but at the end he goes a little bit out of tune 3:47

[gottafriend]

Beautiful!

[walshfan2470]

Doesn't need the sax....in my opinion...

[ddana32]

john lennon sucks, paul rules

[TheBeatlesmakepeace]

@ddana32 Paul and John were both very important. They both rule!

[EPCOTL8T]

The greatest truth beautifully expressed by the greatest talent ever. Thanks, again, Paulie.

[therealbeav]

all this talk about how the sax ruins songs, just be very careful what tunes your claiming are ruined... Spandau Ballet- true, Dire Straits- your latest trick, Jerry Rafferty- baker street to name just 3

[JeanClaudeGandalf]

One of the underrated song by Sir Paul Mccartney.. Great Song.. moving lyrics with great melody... I love this song...

[level242]

I am soooooo glad to be alive while this man is on this planet.

[iowdave]

@level242 .... What a lovely thing to say! Me too. Peace xx

[flyingscience]

@level242 Indeed there are some people that should be cloned for their continued contributions to humanity .

If cloning is safe enough .

[paliba1109]

@level242 You said exactly what I feel.

[bobchichi]

muy bonita

[pafey]

the best,i'd like this songs...

[lightbearer2009]

This is oneof my favorite songs which is seldom played. Unlike the songs nowadays, they ruin the quality of making a nice song. What they created are songs that are nasty and nothing. Sorry, but then, what I commented is true.

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Precioso tema muy bonito!

[jba2323]

WOW  TOP TALENT ON EARTH

[bluemeany]

The sax ruins it; i hate the sound of a sax.

[spicbuddha]

Agreed. HATE the sax in pop and rock, I could never get into Spingsteen because of it...

[Enslaved10]

Sax is cool sometimes..

[spicbuddha]

you know, you are right. the sax in this song really isn't too annoying... i just have a knee jerk reaction of hatred for the sax haha

[Enslaved10]

I kind of get your point. It`s not an instrument you would like to dominate a song, but when it`s used like it is in this song it`s ok.

[PaulieDi]

So soft and beautiful with just his piano and a beautiful sax to make this song stand out, live!

[judivitale]

So beautiful in its simplicity, sentiment and- I dare say- spirituality.

[kooodeal]

Who was the other girl doing harmony with Linda?

[3rdpug]

This is vile,the man needs to be strung up.

[GeorgieGirl66]

I keep comming back to this beautiful song! It is so powerful!!!

[GeorgieGirl66]

Noboby does it better!!!!!!!

[mulky53]

Paul's voice on this live version is really great..knock out tone and control..so very McCartney..just love it!!

[krosenzweig]

Damn nice song. He could dump "Long and Winding Road" (a great song, but enough already) and replace it with this in concert.

[krosenzweig]

John said that Paul could be a great writer as long as "I kept him on his toes?" Typical. Haughty, arrogant man. John had no bigger fan than John.

Paul was and is a great writer and doesn't/didn't need John.

Some of these people who live in the past and immediately tag any piece of Paul's new music as "good, but not as good as the Beatles," really need to get a life and stop living in the past. Some of Paul's solo stuff is better than the Beatles.

[liamskelter]

much better than the original album song. :D

[Gale33]

I had never heard of this live verion !!! It sounds very good to me...

[marketingfinger]

One of Paul's best songs, in my opinion. I only found this live version recently... very nice.

[sign1969]

nepočul som ju 22 rokov..... fantastická

[montagabend777]

So Genial!

[misterbluebird]

sir mccartney...

[victorecr1992]

i love this song

[superamerica2u]

i like this version better then his videoclip version

[turntapzap]

Who but Paul?

[ScottCLimaTeacher]

Ringo was asked by Larry King who was in your opinion the real driving force behind the Beatles, John or Paul??

Ringo replied

"Paul made sure we played good music. John made sure we had good music to play."

Lennon once said of Paul when the Beatles were near the end: "He's proven that he can been a fantastic songwriter, as long as I keep him on his toes."

Paul said "We are not in a writing contest, I will run things past him (John) and I know immediately if he thinks I can do better"

[PSV0001]

Very good insight. I didn't know those quotes. :)

[ScottCLimaTeacher]

Amazing song.... Paul would have been only 44 yrs old here, and John would have been 46 at this point if he were alive....

I can only dream/imagine what kind of music Lennon & McCartney could have been making together around this time....

It was shortly after this that I feel Paul lost his edge a little. Still awesome.... but 1964 to 1987 Macca is nearly untouchable.

1988 to 2008, did Macca have a song in the top 20? Damn.. I wish John & Paul could have gave us 15-20 more years together

[JOHNTAYLORARIA]

Linda is clearly giving Paul that loving look she always did...Smashing tune mate.

[hankphelps]

Not better than MY LOVE..no way...

He's wrote alot better than this..

[vescera1]

Ignore my previous comment This was the tube dec 86 but i was at that too thanks to Geoff Baker, i even got speaking to Linda who spoke to me regarding the Royal variety picture i had taken with her..i sent it to her and she sent it signed.. if only all couples were Like Linda and paul...

[vescera1]

I was at this nov 86 Royal variety and ive still got my ticket signed by Paul and Linda as well as some great photos I was closer than his kids who sat in the row behind me!

[swensev]

Anyone else think Roger Clinton on sax? ha ha.

[galiant]

i wish i could compose song just like him.

[mmkneppers]

What a great version! I like the 'nakedness' of it!

[bjoybeads]

3:11 he looks over at Linda - with a little smile, whew !

[simplyrahil]

so beautiful

thanx for posting!

[andy3576]

Gorgeous! Man, some of his solo stuff is out of this world.

[angeluy32]

This is Paul's best love song as a solo artist...Better than "My Love"...I just hope that this would be given more importance and be included in his compilations and should be sung also in his concerts...Haunting melody...
