Suicide - Paul McCartney

[beatlesandbeyond]

This was written before 1974, possibly in India. If you listen to 'McCartney' issued in 1970 you'll hear a snippet at the end of 'HOT AS SUN' - before  'GLASSES'

such a great song paul makes me want to learn piano so bad

[MyDreamside]

this tone on his voice it's one of the kind

[adampower1973]

I'm 99.99% sure that this is the song that Paul sent to Frank Sinatra and he rejected it. This song would've suit Frank Sinatra perfectly...to be honest I reckon Frank would have turned it down because the whole brilliant melody was out of his 'vocal range'...even if he changed the key.

@adampower1973 this is the frank sinatra song yes. there are a couple of interviews where paul mentions it.

[adampower1973]

@michaelvkelly Yeh Michael...great song hey :)

[adampower1973]

Fuck....How would you be...Paul was about 32 in this video. Could you imagine knowing that you were in a band about '4'! years ago called....'The Beatles'!

[BobDylanFan1966]

[grail68]

in was reading that this song was written early in the 60s, with paul intending it for frank sinatra

[superbadedgar]

I can't stop listening to this song every time it finishes I hit replay

[Logicallyrare]

Something tells me if the Beatles HAD stayed together they would have gone further into to the jazz direction.

[OropherThranduil]

@Logicallyrare

HMMM, there was some jazzy stuff on the white album, but i don't think lennon would have really wanted to went that way, but probably for one or two songs.

[Logicallyrare]

@Logicallyrare Yeah I don't think Lennon would have wanted it either at that time even though they made that joke track "You know my name (look up the number)" which was parodying jazz. I think a big part of why Lennon left was lack of progress, but even him in his own solo career later on wrote a song with Frank Sinatra in mind on his "Walls and Bridges" album, the song was "Nobody Loves you (When You're Down And Out)."

[discoveringshapes]

I think this is the one he wrote for Sinatra but it would've been more suited to The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

[ToaKopha]

The "ah ah ahhh" is like the one in Junk

[tyronerodgers]

Yeh. This was written way back when he was in The Beatles. There's a recording somewhere from the Get Back Twickenham sessions.

[EdwinManrique]
