4/13
From The Album Electric Arguments
The Fireman = Paul McCartney
Track Nº4/13
" ride on the white wind
High over the sand
I follow the bluebird
I follow the wise

I glide on the green leaf
Not asking for more
I follow the white wind
I glide on the green leaf

I swim in the blue sea
I walk on the sand
I fly through the blue sky
To wherever you land

I ride on the white wind
To a far away shore
I follow the bluebird
To wherever she lands

I'll be traveling tonight
Oh across the sea
Where she waits, she waits for me
Across the broken sea
From the sea
From the sea

From across the endless sea
I'll be traveling tonight"

"Electric Arguments is an eclectic and varied album consisting of thirteen tracks recorded in thirteen days over the period of nearly a year. Each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. The Fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. The project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

The album's opener Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight is classic rock and an instant attention grabber. A heavy guitar riff with loud drums and souring vocals, it's like nothing The Fireman have ever done before. The second track, the acoustic driven Two Magpies immediately takes you in a different direction, calming things right down. Then we reach the third song Sing The Changes, a euphoric upbeat song with an instantly memorable melody. Electric Arguments continues in this fashion, keeping the listener intrigued as to where The Fireman will take them next. Each album track has an entirely different personality, yet somehow this collection sits together perfectly. Other standout tracks include 'Light From Your Lighthouse', 'Sun Is Shining' and 'Dance 'Til We're High', all in keeping with the genre-hopping spirit of the first two The Fireman albums. Electric Arguments demonstrates that Paul McCartney is still interested in pure musical possibilities. This is an album set to both surprise and delight the listener. Made with no record company restraints or a set release date to work to, Electric Arguments was made with complete artistic and creative freedom".

  • i absolutely agree, let's not compare styles, it's not possible, let's compare influence they had over modern music instead, The Beatles clearly influence a lot more musicians than led zeppelin and it will always be like that

  • damn,there's some passion.are you sure its only tea you drink?

see all

  • It would take years to an artist like Peter Gabriel to record a song like this. To Macca it took just one day.

  • I love that slide guitar. I get shivers when that part comes on. There used to be a video on here that showed Paul playing it, but it got taken down for copyright reasons. :(

  • I cant believe that this is paul mccartney,the only songs I've heard from the fireman were highway and sing the changes,and they were completely differents from this one,it really doesn't sound like him.He really have never done something like this before

  • @bde921 man , come on, this guy and his little friends created the whole music style that you're listening to today, when sting was not even born ... i don't think he needs to look for sting's music to get inspired.

  • Sound like Paul is getting in touch with his ancestors spirituality. Sounds like he succeeded. Excellent work Paul . Thanks for sharing Piggies 1.

  • i scratched my head and i finally realized this sounded like sting.

  • Such a special song for me. Like a fairytale, someone said. Yes it is.

    

  • @Gyphia but that would be boring and perhaps over the most stubborn people and music purists would not be able to understand .. but art is so beautiful that alone would hear two songs mccartney one after another to understand spoken of his great versatility, creativity and talent both in music and in his voice .. and I will mention one example: listen his first live performance in 76 of silly love songs "and then traveling light" electric arguments of 2008 .. nothing more to add

  • @Gyphia can say many words, you can write books, you can display technical arguments of the musical quality and interpretative james paul mccartney ..

  • beautiful song
