Junk - Paul McCartney

[bnutdude]

Such a beautiful melody.....

[tsewacceber]

Most beautiful love song ever and not one line about love, genius!

[ItsThijsbitch]

Beautiful (:

[APizzle90]

Would have been better if this was on Let It Be

[KainyStyle]

Who are this people that managed to dislike this sone? O_o

[nansir]

My God this song takes me somewhere, beautiful and quite sad at the same time. Thank God for the Beatles.

[kneapoe51]

One of my all time favorite Macca tunes. Got the "Cherries Album" from an older Aunt when it was released. For my Birthday I think...anyways "it" played constantly that Spring & Summer. Girls met.....kisses & touches stolen & given. lol Growing up..& this Album was a huge soundtrack to all of that & so much more. I love it now..as much..if not more. Those memories (my 1st wife included in that Summer) ; ) become more & more treasured as my life & Sir Paul's, I suppose, come full circle. Thanks.

[ciarraibuzz]

Man, was I fortunate to have been born in the time of the Beatles first appearing on television and then we saw Paul at the ballfield in New York a couple of summers ago. The sound sucked, but I knew the songs. Junk is a melancholy song, indeed.

[Cathyokc]

I like how you placed the lyrics



[guaditarios]

@Cathyokc Thanks (:

[andiemayo]

This is one very underrated song. Lots of melancholy in such a short space of time. Just like looking back over your life and realizing that some of the things we've held as dear treasures are really just an accumulation of "junk". Precious only to us and often only for awhile until we stash it away when new "precious" comes along.

[jimidee33]

This song defines melancholy. A sad little song with a sweet melody that only Paul could write.

[gildas2]

I love the picture at 0:18, Paul playing with Julian behind him.

[keaton1895]

@gildas2 That is not Julian. It is Heather.

[gildas2]

@keaton1895 Sorry, I thought it was Julian. Sweet picture anyway.

[MJBSAMMYGz]

Why Why

This song is beatiful than others?

[sam0xin]

home-made masterpiece !

[meloveyou38]

I can't understand how people don't like this album.

[MrsBeatleLover05]

This song doesn't make much sense... But I still love it! =D

[ThaliaDiAngelo]

"Bicycles for two.... Broken hearted Jubilee."

The broken hearted jubilee makes no sense but I love it to pieces.

[samsamsammysam1]

I heard this on TV never heard it before and i knew right away it was Paul. My mom, who grew up in this time period was like nahh BUT I WAS RIGHT!!

[tommywm24]

Don't get me wrong I love everything the Beatles did...but this song in my opinion is Paul McCartney's greatest achievement.

[ptmagi]

This will forever be for me my favorite song on the first album I bought with my own money. I still love it, and my sister and I honed a pretty good version of it while washing dishes in the 70s that we can still creak out pretty well now forty years later. McCartney is truly something of a god musically.

[ramboBrad]

I believe this song was written for "The White Album" a beautiful song indeed.

[adame89]

its amazing :)

[VerbinStudios]

This would sound good on Rubber Soul

[asdfghjkami]

I didnt think somone can create such a magic from a pile of junk

[spermdog18]

its so funny i have this album....i picked it up in the seventies and always kinda skipped it over cause it didnt rock me as a 10 year old but now it brings back a whole lotta memories in texas....i finally saw paul in houston 2002 it was worth every penny....mcCartney rocks!

[rocker4677]

2 people live in the junk xD

[aidan1912]

Paul McCartney wrote beautiful trash

[TCfoxs]

@aidan1912 Still is!

[Pajhal09]

Heard this first on the Beatles anthology. Got a haunting quality to it. A groovy Eleanor Rigby.....

[caulinrocker1]

paul write music in 2 minute that would indefinately trump anything anyone else would release after years of work

[revwjh]

ione of the problems with most music these days is that it is way overproduced. There isnt a raw sound or feeling to the music. Most young people who listen to whats being played were not given the gift of hearing the simple recordings such as "Junk".

[MattHatter]

I absolutely adore both "Junk" and "Teddy Boy" off this album. Been loving them since I was three or four years old! But I'm not quite grasping people saying that the demo versions recorded with The Beatles are "better." Yeah the Esher demo of "Junk" from May 1968 is charming and all but "Teddy Boy" from the "Get Back / Let It Be" sessions just sounds like nothing more than a rehearsal (and not a very good one at that). The "McCartney" versions are really where it's at.

[OropherThranduil]

Little Heather is sooo adorable.

John could have really taken Julian with him sometime so he and Heather could play a bit.

xDDD Just imagine John and paul in the park on a playdate for the Kids xD

people coming by but not getting the balls to talk to them.

[Msemospongebob]

yay! i feel better! the song CURED ME!!!

[Msemospongebob]

i am very ill, but this song just made me feel a million times better

[kurtwild]

This song hurts my heart

[MeritCullen]

It's amazing, he's singing about trash and it sounds BEAUTIFUL...

[051163able]

Lenny Kravitz said this was one of his favorite songs!

[revwjh]

the whole LP was good. Too much today is over produced. People who havent heard the raw unadulterated music and are being bottle fed on too many effects and over production may not understand the beauty of this really is.

[MattHatter]

@revwjh I've been loving "McCartney" since I was all of three years old in 1980. It has a great, homemade sound that was awesome in light of The Beatles grandiose majesty and lush production that Paul was just coming off from. When I first fell in love with The White Stripes sound in 2002, it was because of the raw sound I had loved all my life with "McCartney" that drew me to THEIR sound and style.

[fpetrozz]

He should thank Harry Nilsson, this song sounds totally like Harry.

[broomybank]

@fpetrozz Yes Nilsson could sing high like this, and he was undoubtedly a good songwriter. His song One is similar in structure and lyrical simplicity. However this song is pure Paul. The Beatles said that Nilsson was their favourite artist. They were never shy about sourcing their influences, eg Paul'sLady Madonna is Elvis, I'm Down is Little Richard etc. The thing that marks Paul out is his tremendous versatility and superb pop voice, the best ever imho

[TheDorr71]

@broomybank Sad that Nilsson ruined his voice from abusing the bottle. He was good.

Paul is still something.Proves staying positive helps. Although it was torture for him when the Beatles were splitting.

[jessoad89]

Ha ha! You have 69 videos. Great song too! Loved the original better.

[BewareOfBunnyRabbit]

0:20 I love the picture. ;-;

[wojiaokatya]

so sad

[reneperezz]

GREAT GREAT song. underrated but one of his best as most of his songs are :)

[xXloverchic17Xx]

god, i love this man

[benji9048]

hermosa cancion de un grande de la musica.....

[julioscissors]

Unbelievable melody... so simple, yet can only be written the hand of a master. This song could be a day long, and I'd still want more.

[bjkatt7]

I MUST HAVE HIM. I seriously feel like I might die if I can't have Paul.

[marcyschachinger]

@bjkatt7 You should have been in the 4th row at the Appollo Theater onMondasy night like I was this week!! I blew him a kiss and he blew one back

[bjkatt7]

I can't believe I'm crying.

[bjkatt7]

This song is just too beautiful.

[bjkatt7]

@beatlesLOVER4eva hmm.. That's an interesting thought. But why a pillow?

[beatlesLOVER4eva]

I want John Lennon to buy me a pillow. That has nothing to do with this song but it just makes me want John to buy me a pillow.

[johnnydemo9]

I dont think this is a demo? This the actual song off the "McCartney" album,

[katebaderlis]

¿Cómo lo hace? Es un misterio. No sólo es una bella melodía, la letra es de lo mejor. ¿Quién se puede atrever a decir que no es un buen letrista?

[csrogc63]

This album "McCartney" was raw and beautiful...not just "Maybe I'm Amazed" but the whole album

[divadcrab12]

When I hear this song I have to transport myself mentally to India where he wrote the song, and imagine Paul's emotions as he took a lilting waltz tune and came up with such brilliant lyrics for it. Superb!

[JAARNO88]

haunting

[tabb041]

This song makes me cry too. Why is that?

[blkmanbat]

perfect music!!!! the best!! genius he is!!!!!

[4FabBEATLES]

"Junk" is a song written by Paul McCartney in 1968 while The Beatles were in India. It was originally under consideration for The Beatles (also known as the White Album). It was passed over for that LP, as it was for Abbey Road. It was eventually released on McCartney's debut solo album McCartney in 1970. The version McCartney played for the rest of The Beatles before the recording of The Beatles is included on Anthology 3. The song's working title was "Jubilee".)

[allezleblue10]

beautiful song

[brandaddy0]

ughhh where can i get this song!

[cobainback]

is one of the best songs ever ._. for real

[Crisstti]

Beautiful song.

[DaigoMoustache]

This song is pure McCartney. He could pull together a song out of nothing. Just take a few scraps of "junk", throw them down against a beautiful melody, and voilà: McCartney.

[BrawlDiscussion]

This song should be more appreciated. It's my favorite by McCartney.

[Ricardodelamuerte]

man, i love paul's first album. understated, raw recordings beautifully written and performed. what a great contrast to the 100+ take, polished perfectionism that defined the last years of the beatle recordings...

some called it mediocrity, i say perfection in simplicity

[fluffymczips]

@Ricardodelamuerte perfection in simplicity..something the beatles were all about

[brandaddy0]

@Ricardodelamuerte

i'd say simplicity is perfection.

[TheCliffPhilShow]

@Ricardodelamuerte beautiful for sure.

[OropherThranduil]

@Ricardodelamuerte

just like Let it be.

[Ricardodelamuerte]

@OropherThranduil right!



[edwardLRS]

@Ricardodelamuerte It was hit and miss

[catzeye2]

Top notch guitar.

is that Paul?

[uzn88]

yes it is...

[JTYLERA16]

great great great song! its genius is in its simplicity

[wpollock1]

Just a little "throwawaY" two minute song, but what genius of a melody and words. Beautiful melody that stays with you....loved this.

[erwin8888]

thanx for answering my question. have a nice eve.

[erwin8888]

Who's the little girl next to Paul?

[TheYellowSubmarine13]

That's Linda's daughter from her first marriage, Heather. Paul adopted her when him and Linda got married. :)

[ometec]

I love Heather

[goodguyradio]

He was given the talent of the supernatural

[mirzamarco]

A genius, period.

[avestesam]

This song makes me cry, both with the melody and the lyrics.

[demondan1974]

buy the beatles rock band Says the Sign in the Shop Window dude.

[winnentoe]

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-!

[shellsandcheese864]

love this song even more every time i listen

[jayrtheking]

the master of melodies. he probably composed this on the toilet and its better then anything i could ever come up with. simply put... beautiful.

[zaporogue]

master of melodies ... pur traditional english style ... 400 years after dowland ... splendid ... Paul ...

[splinterx3]

agreed. this song is about junk yet its beautiful.. ridiculous.

[6leafdom]

@jayrtheking actually coming from a songwriter's point of view, the best time i can write songs is when i am showering or in the toilet LOL

[chumbels]

another fantastic melody.. been enjoying this album for nearly 40 years now...... underrated..... very underated.

[OllerMaller]

They are the biggest musicians ever.

[billytrack]

Peul - thanks. I love you for your music

[H0T0T0GISU]

最高の楽曲。

[septip123]

the demo is better. Much more intimate, sadder, more haunting.

[guaditarios]

Yeah! :)

[shikiku]

@septip123 I like the demo better too.

[jesseowens]

@septip123 no.

[reigarra]

[reigarra]

[guaditarios]

tsss pues es la version original

Esta en el disco llamado "McCartney"

[TheMomo1960]

@guaditarios La original está en el Anthology de Los Beatles

[guaditarios]

@TheMomo1960 ese es un demo y a original me refiero a que oficialmente primero salio en el McCartney de 1970 y años despues ya salio en la antologia 3

[soccerholic101]

[mollyandkatsmom]

[aDayInTheLife56]
