Rinse the Raindrops - Paul McCartney - Driving Rain

[nakidsoul]

Wow....[and great work on the vid!]

[Salete226]

Genial, song and video clip!

[paolo38021]

GRANDE BRANO ROCK

[vietnamcatfish]

Maybe it was "bumpy night." Oh well. Love the song and the video. Boris Karloff et al.

[vietnamcatfish]

I remember when you first posted this. You had less than a thousand hits. Love this song. Once I start listening to McCartney on youtube I can't get off. Like Bette Davis said: "Fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy ride."

[derby1884]

I suspect he'd react very positively to this visual representation. Who knows - perhaps he's seen it on here.

[kincaide67]

Really, really cool. Been waiting to see if anyone would do something with this Great Powerful piece!!!!!!!!!!! I can't help thinking Paul is talking to himself here. About the loss of Linda. Maybe that's just me reading too much into the lyrics, but Paul does disguise so much of his lyrics. And this is precisely what you call it - an experimental art film. Such a good song and good visual treatment of it.

[LookingRU]

This is a great video. Thanks for all the work put into this.

[metalsimon]

Maybe the best McCartney solo song

[mccrabapple]

@metalsimon

And to the attentive listener there are many other truly GREAT solo songs... and many just as heavy.

[marga90]

@mccrabapple Could you give me some names about his heavy songs? I really like this one...

[mccrabapple]

@marga90 There are so many heavy Macca songs. You can't go wrong with the albums "Wings Over America," very BIG, very seventies, very rocking, and his latest album "Electric Arguments" is very heavy in tone. Songs: Soily Let Me Roll It (Outtake from Band On the Run) Letting Go Spin It On She's Given Up Talking Nothing Too Much Just Outta Sight Helter Skelter (live!) Old Siam Sir Lonely Road I've Got a Feeling (live!) Beware My Love The Mess India Lonely Road Wildlife (live!) Lots more...

[dirkmarkham]

this is Macca at his most metal!

[raulitonadaexiste]

VERY GOOD!

3:42 "Paul is dead. Paul is dead."

[OrpheusIsThe1]

Has anyone checked out Paul McCartney's experimental films from the 60s they are quite interesting. Well some of them are anyway. He was into avant garde well before John Lennon was. It wasn't until JL met Yoko he expressed an interest. Untill then he regarded and actually said that avant garde was french for bullshit.

[mccrabapple]

No, I haven't had the opportunity to see any of his experimental films. but, it is correct, like it or not, Paul was the avant garde Beatle, but he was also the one who loved all that music hall stuff, a complicated guy with a wide variety of interests. He deserves more credit than the Cult Of Lennon allows. And he has continued to be highly experimental, check out "Daumier's Law."

[BonelessSausage]

Yes, and it was Paul who was awake all night to do the dubs for Tomorrow Never Knows. Lennon was lazy.

[BonelessSausage]

Lennon even admitted Paul had a habit of coming in with 10 songs and saying time to record boys. Lennon would say just give me a week.

[blondauge]

@OrpheusIsThe1 .Not yet. But I'd enjoy to, where can one receive them?

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@blondauge I have been trying to find them again but to no avail sorry.

[nakidsoul]

@OrpheusIsThe1 You do know that many people that saw Yoko's films had no praise for them...and still don't....and btw...in the Pink Floyd song, "Several Species of Small Furry Animals...." there is a hidden message in the sound track that when the speed of the turntable [or data feed] is slowed down can be heard saying "If that ain't avant garde,, I don't know what is?"...check it out...some one did post a vid on yt demonstrating that.

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@nakidsoul You do know that many people have no praise for Mozart or Madonna or Pink Floyd don't you? They have no praise for them and still don't. Oh and by the way there are many more people now who regard Yoko as a brilliant artist in her own right and there were also at the time you are speaking about many who also did. As for the slowing down I simply refer you to Judas Priest and the notorious "Do it/ peppermint" trial in the US. Says it all. Your argument is invalid.

[metalsimon]

por qué esta canción no la conoce mucha gente? es BUENÍSIMA!!

saludos desde Chile, excelente video!

[mccrabapple]

To all of you who have been enjoying my videos, I have just sent copies of them to McCartney at MPL and am hoping he sees them. I know he liked my "222" video, so I am hoping he might dig these. It's a longshot, but why not?

If anyone has any addresses where I can send him more copies, send me a private message.

If anyone can think of ways to get McCartney to see these videos, let me know... give me some ideas.

[rocnrollurisback]

@3:41 sounds to me like...On the web, Paul is dead. ?

[mccrabapple]

I never could figure it out, but according to the book "The Unknown McCartney" there is a "secret message" in the song. I always wondered what it was, and maybe this is it...

[webj4]

He says, "by the way, Paul is dead..." at about 3:41 into the song....

[BonelessSausage]

No actually he says "web's a meat head, a meat head"

[metalsimon]

@webj4 now that I listen more carefully, you're right

[webj4]

Thanks! Anyone who wants to learn more watch the rotten apple series or paul is dead at the end of the world... it is phenomenal stuff! Btw, I don't want it to be true by any means, I just reported what it sounds like to my ears. There is much more than this with the Beatles, with Wings songs and in his solo work. Why does he keep this up if it means nothing? No lie, someone could spend months dissecting the Sgt. Pepper's album cover ALONE! There is so much on that... brilliant but creepy!

[mccrabapple]

My theory on the "Paul is dead" stuff (and keep in mind, this is just my theory) that it started out very innocently and unintentionally, probably even sparked from a lot of coincidence and fan and press conjecture and then the Beatles (and Paul still) got caught up in it and have had years of fun with it as it has now become part of the mystique and legend of the Beatles.

That's my take.

[webj4]

Well, could you give one of those sites a check? I'd love to get someone else's feedback on it. Anyone, I'd love to discuss this further. Right now, it's beyond creepy and if there are any rational explanation, as the saying goes, I'm all ears! LOL :-)

[TheSGTNicolai]

genious!

[PaulMcCartneyHD]

:O exelente cancion!!! me recuerda a la epoca con the beatles su voz grusa y potene!! buena paul!!! :D

[Mcborregal]

Muy buen video. Una exelente cancion del mas grande de todos los tiempos.

Larga vida Paul.

Saludos desde Mexico.

Viva el Rock-Vivan The Beatles

[mccrabapple]

Si! McCartney es excelente...

D. Crabapple

[richig761]

amazing video... amazing song... I always thought this was a hidden gem.

[Dark0Storm]

have you sped the song up? I'm sure it's supposed to be slower

[mccrabapple]

Nope, I didn't speed it up.

D

[CC4Ryder]

By far one of the most impressive vids that I have seen.......cudos dude...btw: I am an old rocker and not into çuddly' lol.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks... I won't argue... it is an impressive video.

D. Crabapple

[disko1]

This a great video!! and a great song also! :-)

[Robutube1]

Easily the best Macca offering since a couple of offerings on 'Flaming Pie'. Well done witn the graphics too! Looks like hard work...

[raphevan]

yes!!!!!

[RadioBazterd]

Now that's more like it - great!

[raulitonadaexiste]

Congratulation man

[l7olimbera]

Amazing video for an amazing song. ;)

[mccrabapple]

Thanks, it was fun to make.

[CALIC0COLIN]

It`s always a pleasure to return and appreciate your fine work.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks!

[CALIC0COLIN]

Cheers mate,it was about a year ago,with a subtle difference in my username.CALICO etc.

[CALIC0COLIN]

I remember having a look at this superb video quite awhile ago,alas some of my comments have been removed I think.

[mccrabapple]

I don't recall comments from you, but it's possible some have vanished.

[CALIC0COLIN]

You recently commented on HELTEReffingSkelters vid.

[CALIC0COLIN]

My main account now! Take care mate.

HFS.

[amirgoncalves]

GENIUS

[Happinessjunkie]

Wow!! great editing job i love the symbolism you used thanks for posting this .

[SabbathMobRules]

wow that's great

[BonelessSausage]

I think so. Ed

[buzonperiodista]

Old Macca, going back to those days when the Beatles were introducing common-nowadays innovations such as ADT, Flanger, Chorus, Varispeeding recording and such.

[rochestra]

Very cool! This is one of my favorite Macca albums. Thanks!

[vytautas70]

yeah this is definitely rock/metal song! even at 66 years old, he still kick ass for everybody! THE BIGGEST ALIVE LEGEND!!! I think Macca will never lose his voice, the more I listen his voice, the more I will state that he have greatest vocal! Legends are Legends like Mr. King McCartney!!!

[Buttons61]

This is so fantastic...can't stop watching this one...well done.

And I LOVE the music of course!

[mccrabapple]

Thanks, this is the best of all the videos I've made. I want to upload the fireman video I made, but YouTube keeps screwing up the upload.

If anyone has a band or song they want a video for, send me a message, we'll work out a rate.

D. Crabapple

[bobbelibob]

Mr mccrabapple, why are the comments disabled? Great video and song.

[marvy1118]

This song sounds like his paintings look.

[Godz3839]

ahh i have to say this. cuz i just randomly noticed it.

at around 1:49 the little guitar solo is played backward. im almost posotive

and then at 7:39 he layers the same track twice to make the echo of his voice and the drums etc.

its pretty weird

[Ellems]

Very astute!! I never heard that befor but I think you're right

[23chris67]

Congrats Dr.Paul McCartney!

[tonyotonyito]

Wow! I didnt think he had it in him anymore.This song kicks ass as does the video.

[sabresun]

Works for me, bothe the song and the vid, great job.

[baloisaac]

Really a good job

this song is strong , but not to brodcasted regullary , thx

[VTZ3E]

strange video

nice song

[shadefluffy1]

o.k. you've convinced me. this is a kick ass track,and video. ever since i first saw this, I reconsidered not only this track but the Driving Rain album. Great work again , mccrabapple.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks shadefluffy1. Driving Rain remains a favorite of mine. It´s really ecclectic. In my experience it´s the McCartney albums I didn´t initially like that have become my favorites. Sometimes you can´t come at his work head-on, you have to let it sneak up on you.

[rodstarr2001]

Hey Mccrabapple, Fantastic video, thanks for sharing with all us Macca and music fans. Some people knocked that album but like your self I love it too, neat collection of songs, I especially love "She's Given Up Talking" and "Spinning On An Axis". Also love the new album "Memory Almost Full" I love Paul, he is full of surprises and gems!!! very underated these days regarding his solo albums, he's the BEST!!!

[Crisstti]

GREAT song.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks! Agreed...

D. Crabapple

[pnegriazul85]

sorry jaja ,kick-ass bass player

[groundzero4]

amazing song! cool vid. thnx

[WinoJunko76]

this is SWEET!

[GlassWalrus]

Thank you thank you Mr. mccrabapple. Let's hear more, the whole album would be nice.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks, glad you've enjoyed my videos. I hope to make more, but I'm having LOTS of technical trouble between iMovie and YouTube these days.

[shadefluffy1]

still have to say I much prefer the fireman to this one. clever as it is. I was bitterly disappointed with driving rain, maybe that's why. 'raindrops' remixed as a 4:00 song would have been amazing.

Nice job of '222', and excellent taste with"India" as a favorite.

I'll vote for 'Kampuchea', 'rushes', 'band on the run', for albums,'let me roll it'[live 2002], 'partial to your abracadabra', 'why so blue' best tracks.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks for checking in all the same... I LOVED Driving Rain... and I wish this song were 20 minutes long...

[JuanPabloTN]

I love this song, too

[Elinuska]

My favorite Macca album id deffinately Flaming Pie. In my opinion it´s the best album I´ve heard.

[vera0507]

I guess the last decade is your favourite Mccartney period. Am I right?

[mccrabapple]

vera0507, More or less. I think he started hitting a creative peak in 1989, and the momentum has kept building over the last 18 years. It blows me away that he can continue to have such vision after all these years.

[mccrabapple]

verao5o7, I'm sorry, I accidently deleted your latest post! They're all coming through in Russian (I think,) and I hit the "remove" button instead of the "reply" button. Feel free to repost, and thanks again!

[mccrabapple]

I really like this video, and I hope that eventually more people see it. Thanks for the comment. I haven't made a video since I made this one, this one was so involved that I kinda burned out on it for a while.

[CALICOCOLIN]

The time and effort you`ve put into it certainly paid off,Great job.Thanks again.

[vietnamcatfish]

Big Beatles fan. A part of me died when they went their separate ways. I have seen Paul in concert 6 times. Once-via scalpers-got two tix on row 6. It was awesome, of course.

Not much was said about "Rinse the Raindrops" when "Driving Rain" came out. It's a great tune when travelling down the road. What other videos have you done?

[mccrabapple]

Check out my channel for more McCartney videos. I had the great honor of having Paul McCartney mention one of my videos (222) in a recent interview. Though I have to say that this one and "Appletree Cinnabar Amber" are my best. Just click on the blue "mccrabapple" and look through all the videos in the "my videos" section, and enjoy. "I Want You to Fly" is good, too.

[vietnamcatfish]

My favorite song from "Driving Rain." Good job. And thanks.

[mccrabapple]

And thank you. Too bad more people don't hear this side of McCartney.

[beatleandy1]

I Like it

[JoJo6207]

Your Macca stuff is amazing! Please continue. Rinse The Raindrops is my fav from Driving Rain, always felt it deserved a video.. You nailed it. You have the same eye for the McCartney material that I do, the ones most miss. :-)

[mccrabapple]

Thanks JoJo6207, a lot of work went into this video.

[CDawn1964]

Another great video!! You are very talented!! Thanks for sharing your videos with all of us!

[mccrabapple]

Thanks for enjoying them. I'm doing these strictly for fun (to share on YouTube,) so I value all the comments!

[INZ0NE]

Very cool

[LouGojira]

Good stuff Bro! And it was cool to see my childhood hero make a cameo in here too.

Five stars coming right up. :)

[mccrabapple]

Was your childhood hero Godzilla or Boris Karloff? Need I ask... Mr. Gojira?

[isagio]

Great work, you'll get 5 stars from me for your vid.

[isagio]

Great song, thanks for share, check my vids and comment please. Peace, Guadalajara, Mexico.

[mccrabapple]

Isagio, I have checked out some of your videos! I'll try and stop by again and leave a few comments. Thanks for commenting here.

[isagio]

Thanks to you man. You are an Artist.

[mccrabapple]

Thanks for meditating on the "weirdness" whether you were ready for it or not. But, I wake up thinking these thoughts every day!

[figleaf22f]

awakening in the morning, this crabapple video is incredibly wierd to be the first meditation of the day...awakening...

you've outdone yourself with this 10 minute marathon!
