CD Reviews

Wow!
Don Large | Houston, TX United States | 11/11/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow! This song is an unbelievably good amalgam of classical, jazz, and blues, with Macca singing at the bottom of his range. The song is a perfect match of lyric and melody. I might suggest (and look forward to critical comment) that, if this song is any indication of what else is on "Driving Rain," this may be Macca's best solo release, period."
Haunting, poignant
C. Cleveland | Dryden, NY United States | 11/15/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"McCartney reports that about a week before the recording sessions started, he couldn't talk at all. He brings strength and warmth out of a recuperating voice, and finds the precise words and melody for feelings of love newly born from pain. As a critic said of his poetry, McCartney is "always personal, never merely personal," and this is another profoundly unsilly love song."
Music and Art
William Ng | Mississauga Canada | 12/02/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Paul has taken his music to a higher level above all of us. Beyond the beautiful melody, the bass line, the emotion in his voice, the bridge itself is simply brilliant - how would one express the conflict when on the verge of desperation and knowing that he/she may have a chance to come out of it, to love again? The la, la, la, la, la is his call for Linda (remember Lovely Linda in McCartney?), asking for permission to love again, from a lover to a friend...It's not your run of the mill love song. It's more than music - it's music complimented by art and vice versa."
