@cesarvarram9908

my wife had just passed away, and this song came giving me some precious relief. Thanks Paul, always

@xlnuniex

I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences.

@MarklovesJoan

Cesar, I am so sorry for your loss. I was married 18 years, 5 boys. Our 2nd oldest was just 17 when he was murdered in 2001 at his work during a robbery...THEN in 2003 after my divorce, I found my jr. high sweetheart Elizabeth Joan after 22 years apart. We only had just under 9 years together before she passed from a stroke at only 51. PLEASE know that I am here for you if you ever need a friend. They never ever leave us because we are all energy and energy never dies. God Bless You~

@mogadon7

This song is SO SHIT live, and boring.

@scottconnor8867

@@MarklovesJoan That is absolutely heart breaking, Sorry for your losses. My mum died from a stroke as well when she was 62. 💙

@MarklovesJoan

@@scottconnor8867 Thank you and, I'm sorry for your loss as well. Stay strong as it's all we can strive to be

@woofdog1525

The crazy thing is that this could be on any Beatles album as a little ditty or short song and it’d just be filed amongst the rest of the timeless classics he’s written with the Beatles..McCartney is a genius..a true living legend

@Peakabike

Good point, shows how "impossible" Macca's task has been since...Anyway the "White Album" would be my choice as a place to host it !

@samuraininjarockstar9355

Thus no way could have been on any Beatles album I doubt very much that Lennon or Harrison would let that happen this is so sub par it’s embarrassing, lyrically immature it really is horrendous 😂

@gorgolyt

@@samuraininjarockstar9355 Disagree, I think it's a great little song. Are you sure you've actually listened to any Beatles albums? You think Wild Honey Pie is a lot better than this?
