Track 4 - Footprints.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:40 pm

This is one of my faves.

Though I have heard an earlier take, before the production was added, and it was a lot better.

Not Sure if these zany voices add to this song.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:40 pm

It is a very sad song. bawl

They are definitely not needed. sad yes

This is a surprisingly oppressive song for Macca.

Footprintz.

Spanish Guitar. Drum machine.

This would have worked better on Flowers on the Dirt. The production on that album would have suited it better.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:43 pm

The guitar on this is quite lovely. As is the percussion.

by Guest Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:44 pm

Funny Synth noises.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:44 pm

Track 5- Only Love Remains.

It's one of Macca's great piano ballads. happy

Until...

It might be the drink, but this isn't bad. shifty

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:45 pm

But we haven't reached that bit yet. happy

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:45 pm

This song sounds so out of place on this album.

As does the way it's produced. I wonder if Macca produced it himself?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:46 pm

We've reached the middle eight. dontpanic

The bit where the lyrics sound like he's singing about toilet paper.

"Big enough and strong enough to reach the world." dontpanic

Only Love Remains, Bog Standard McCartney piano ~~bore-ad~~ ballad.

I've heard it gets good in the middle 8! Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:47 pm

The strings on it are also excellent.

by Guest Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:48 pm
