Did you not pull your head off earlier, in the TOTP thread?

I put it back on again, especially for this record. yes

I think Youtube is broken, it's playing an Eric Clapton song by mistake.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:08 pm

The minimalism of this track disguises what a good song it is.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:08 pm

And Macca's guitar playing is great on it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:10 pm

Double tracked guitar. Playing one isn't enough for him. He has to play two. box

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:10 pm

That was positively gear.

I bet the people who like Paul McCartney think this is better than the first two tracks.

And the sick B-line with his toes.

Guitar solo after the first chorus. Toying with structure.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:12 pm

He got bored with the solo and decided to go back to singing.

It's a very bleak sounding song for one that's basically tongue-in-cheek.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:15 pm

What a lovely ending. happy

Track 5 - Nobody Knows.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:16 pm

It's a very odd album that keeps switching between synth-pop and the blues.

And yet, oddly, it works.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:16 pm

The lyrics really didn't go with the music.

Nobody Knows.

Oh, dear, look at the comments.
