who
it
is.
For a really good time, play tracks 10-13 (videos below) from "Electric Arguments," right now for someone, and ask them who they think the artist is.
Was Paul McCartney even on their list?
If your first thought of Paul McCartney is
"silly love songs"
sappy pop;
and you saw Lennon or Harrisson as the experimental Beatle..
Try on The Fireman albums...Paul (with some help from Youth (Martin Glover, one of whose bands is Celtic Cross, and who has worked/associated with Godhaunted types like U2, Maria McKee and Zoe) is the Fireman, and reviews routinely drop comparisons to
Pink Floyd,
Tubular Bells,
King Crimson and...
Yes, you read right!
A bit of Eno..a touch of emo.
techno,
trance,
house, Celtic and........
"Sing the Changes" is not the most representative song of the third album, but it's the most likely to be sung in church! (Hey.."I'm not religous, but I'm very spiritual" Paul has already prayed for U2..and prays with his band every night ..why can't we play/pray him in church?)
Here it is below.. it is followed by some interviews, and then the whole album.
On a few songs a listener might say "That sounds a little like McCartney..but it can't be."
From Wikipedia:
The duo borrowed the title "Electric Arguments" from the poem "Kansas City to St. Louis" by Allen Ginsberg. In Wired magazine, McCartney stated this was because "he's been looking at the beauty of word combinations rather than their meaning."[3]
| “ | We had a ball making this album, and it was a great departure because it seemed more like improv theatre. In the improv spirit, there are William Burroughs-type cut-ups in the lyrics. I came to "Sing the Changes," as well as all the other songs in the album, with absolutely no concept of what the melody or lyrics would be about. So it was like writing on the spot, which I think lent an electricity to the whole sound. | ” |
—Paul McCartney [4]

Almost sounds Bongolesean.
When I had had my wife guess who this song was, she ventured "U2?"
"Sing the Changes"
like the sun playing in the morning
feel the choir, feel the thunder
every ladder leads to heaven
call it ransom, draw the picture
sing the changes as you're sleeping
feel the quiet thunder
see the changes o'er and o'er
feel the choir hear the thunder
like the sunflake in the morning
see the quiet feel the thunder
every ladder leads to heaven
colored pencils draw the picture
sing your praises as you're sleeping
sing the changes any wonder
i feel the sense of childlike wonder
sing your praises as you're sleeping
sing the changes as you're sleeping
feel the quiet hear the thunder
sing the changes o'er and o'er
feel the choir in the thunder
sing your praises as you're sleeping
feel the quiet hear the thunder
sing the changes go on on
and everybody have a sense of shine like wonder
sing His praises as you're sleeping
feel the fire hear the thunder
sing the changes o'er and o'er
and everybody's got a sense of
childlike wonder
I want some more __ fire
you can't stop me, time!
