Paul McCartney - Souvenir

[1949beatles]

The best song around and needs to stay alive on here so please contunie to pass this along..Hey Paul is top notch..I went to see him in Dallas Tx when he came..This guy and his band rock they brought the house down..Hey I was 58 then and I was screaming and yelling and had a blast..peace be safe..Larry

[ForeverTreesGreen]

Wow, this is the sort of thing which he doesn't release widely? If anything is only half-decent or slightly above (like Hey Diddle and Down To The River) they become rare bonus tracks

[Allareone2]

What a great, but under-appreciated, song from a great, but under-appreciated, album. "Flaming Pie" and "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" can take their places alongside some of the best Beatles albums. I say that as a huge Beatles fan, but the fact is, Paul has done some excellent work on his own. It's a shame that so few people are even aware of it.

Man i wish i had your setup and records. all i have is stupid iTunes.......

[pmadden327]

What a great song, Flaming Pie is one his best solo records. Long Live Sir Paul!

[jimidee33]

This song is in my opinion the very best from "Flaming Pie". Paul said he could see some soul singer doing a version. Great tune!

[thelilahbean]

You did great with the video, sort of adds to the nostalgia of what the song is about, nice work! I have always loved this song. I seen Paul on Jimmy and I remembered this song and googled it. For sure, we need to keep this song alive...

[singleh27]

That's not "Wonderful Christmastime"!!!! This was Paul attempting an R&B song. Not bad at all.

[thumbsaloft]

There's absolutely nothing bland about Paul McCartneys's solo career, it is filled with fantastic songs!

Many people are so hypnotized by the Beatles that they don't give McCartneys solo career the credit it truly deserves!

His solo career contains many songs that are just as good and even better than some Beatle songs!

[XenoType008]

@thumbsaloft it wasn't a solo career, he went back to the 5th Beatle George Martin, so he didn't have a true solo career at all.

[crapple009]

Love the flanging of the faux run-out at the end of this song. Very cool!

[zeddblue]

vinyl!

[RJLKMRD]

For all the naysayers that say that Paul couldn't write lyrics.. this is an example of some great lyrics!

[KOSMICKEN09]

why do you show another record i'm confused....

[tedm1975]

This is a great song. Sometimes Paul picks the wrong song's to release as singles.

[soundman4545]

Wow, I used to own that very Technics turntable. I remember it was a quartz direct drive. I do not remember the model number though.

Thanks for coming, wabc77

AHHH the flaming pie album!  glorious. its paul feeding off the energy left after the anthology sessions. amazing what Paul can do surrounded by the right people. Flaming... the last great album.

[WiltatKansas]

@emendez Flaming Pie is not even close to his career with the beatles.

[JerichoDitch2]

@WiltatKansas agree... Paul solo never came close to the artistic alchemy the Beatles managed in 7 short years.... Paul solo went bland pop star ... he really needed to be challenged by John to achieve his past genius.

[WiltatKansas]

@JerichoDitch2 That's exactly the same opinion that i have, so i'm glad that there still are people who thinks similar to me, it's a relief

[crapple009]

@JerichoDitch2 True, but John's solo career was patchy as well and he too needed challenging from Paul. A true case of "united we stand, divided we fall". Love 'em both.

[blackmore4]

@emendez You really haven't listened to "Chaos & Creation". You may think you have... but you haven't.

[Ecesar10]

Genius!

[ryanbrownnew]

Another Beatles classic

[ryanbrownnew]

amazin song which sort of teeters between being a rocker and a ballad..pretty amazing

[Sambarre]

This outside of any Beatle work is easily the best Paul McCartney. Flaming Pie is just an amazing album from start to finish. I've owned 3 cassettes of the album, all played till ruined.

[noodlam]

Great. Now I have to buy Flaming Pie too.

Incredible tune.

[rjciccone]

The single you are holding up to the camera is "Wonderful Christmastime" on Columbia records -- once I saw the label, I wondered if what was spinning was the song "Souvenir" -- do you have the video of the 1997 single? I didn't know there were vinyl singles issued from 'Flaming Pie'

[tictactuk]

podria escucharla todos los dias!!!!!!!!

es de lo mejor que he escuchado!!!!

[tictactuk]

excelente cancion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grandiosa
