as a big fan of Paul McCartney i believe he has made some incredible songs that radio dont play so over the last couple of months i have whittled down a long list of primarily album tracks from 1970-present that unless you have the album you probably wouldnt have heard.
some of these songs are rockers, some bluesy, others folkie or love songs.
hoping this thread gives Macca Laymen/Laywomen more of an insight into the pop craftsman that is Paul McCartney away from the usual hits we all know.
i will format each post to contains details of the album the track comes from/the wiki to the album or track, where able, give details on the song itself including lyrics and of course a link to the track itself.

first track is from his 1997 album "flaming Pie".
a favourite of his in my collection for sure.
a return to working with George Martin at the helm.
Jeff Lynne also produced some of the tracks.
it wasnt released as a single but a video was made for it.
it was written as an open letter to the children of a friend he knew who died of cancer,
subconsciously, it could have also been written with Linda in mind as at the time she was dying from cancer.
not your usual upbeat track by him.
its a very dour for Macca proving he can be more than serious when the need arises:
Bend, little willow
Wind's gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight
Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight
Nothing's gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one's out to break your heart
It only seems that way... hey
Sleep, little willow
Peace gonna follow
Time will heal your wounds
Grow to the heavens
Now and forever
Always came too soon
Little willow
Nothing's gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one's out to break your heart
It only seems that way... hey
Bend, little willow
Wind's gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight
Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight
Ah, little willow
Little willow
