Ah, you can read Dutch. But this site does not mention the time and date of the download.

And who can't? LOL!

The date is mentioned in some forums ... one page with some rumours and probably some news too (LOL! ) that I've found just now [size=9](just few minutes ago)[/size] says it too (I su-pose that it's a rumour that it's growing fastly this morning -Youropetime- :):

[raxo]

The new album will be released a day early in UK (June 04)   ...



Details on "Ever Present Past"  ??):

"The double-tracked vocals are sung in a low register during the verses, and are largely falsetto during the chorus (vaguely reminiscent of Sparks' Russell Mael).

The lyric is in some ways similar to "Friends To Go" (looking back in hindsight on childhood activities).

The rhythm/feel/tempo is similar to the "live a little, be a gypsy, get around" section of "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". The entire track moves along at this pace and tempo, with a bit of slight rhythmic doubling-up on the chorus.

EPP is in the key of C-- the verse alternates between Dm7 and C. The "middle 8" section (in the key of F) features loud, crunchy electric guitar and some great pounding electric harpsichord.

After a concluding double-chorus section, the track ends on crashing C chord."

[size=14]First single from "Memory Almost Full"[/size]



"The first single release and video from McCartney's "Memory Almost Full" will be "Ever Present Past."

There is a video to accompany the song which includes a Paul "lookalike." The video was directed by Michel Gondry and stars Mackenzie Crook, Natalie Portman and Macca impersonator Neil Tudor."


"Behind the scenes" photos from Paul's new video?:

[Andy Smith]

Is that a Ukelele he's playing?
Maybe he's doing a George Formby-tribute record!

Looks alike one, yep ... tho it's the description of the track 01 (Dance Tonight) the one which seems to include an ukelele as instrumentation (some said that the first videoclip was filmed for Dance Tonight, precisealley -I posted it here-... based on these pics?  :)

[raxo]

Could these be the lyrics?:


Ever Present Past (McCartney)

- Verse One:
I've got too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn't too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

- Verse Two:
I've got too much on my mind
I think of everything to be discovered
I hope there's something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

- Chorus:
The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid, when I was a kid

- Middle:
I couldn't understand a word that they were saying
But still I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn't join in with the games that they were playing
It went by, it went by, in a flash
It flew by, it flew by, in a flash

Short guitar solo

- Verse Three:
There's far too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it's never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My Ever Present Past

Double Chorus

End

[...]
12. "The End Of The End" - touching, confessional album closer, unlike anything that Paul has recorded. The lyric speaks to how he would like to be remembered/celebrated after he's gone. A heavy lyric tempered by upbeat, song-closing whistling coda (echoing whistling on opening track).
[...]

I've also read more details on track 12 - End Of The End:

"Instrumentation: Piano and orchestra only. Time: 2:50
Verses are in the key of Bb. The "On the day that I die" section is in the key of F.
It shares some melodic similarity and musical mood with "Let It Be", "Warm and Beautiful" and a few others."


End of the End (McCartney)

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
would have to be special
No need to be sad

On the day that I die I'd like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry

(whistling)

On the day that I die I'd like bells to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end

Could it be available to the radio stations to "pre-listen" to but not to broadcast till April 30-May 01?

Short, melodic with an undemanding lyric. What, Macca?

So you've listened to it too!!!  

So how long does it take a forum monkey to upload the thing here? I'm counting...

Quite difficult  :-/ ... it'll be an official release and we've got rules against uploading official stuff  ... but we've still got the PM's   (I'm waiting too for that monkey that, like John, has nothing to hide) ... but in the meantime   ...

... and it seems that this description fits quite well for that excerpt  :

[...]
I wonder how close to reality this description is:
2. "My Everpresent Past" (title?) - Musically quirky (McCartney II fans will love this one), hooky and clever with great lyrics, addictive robotic rhythm, nifty distorted guitar riffs and terrific double-tracked vocals. Fully realized top-drawer Macca Pop in every respect. Opening line: "I've got too much on my plate - I've got no time to be a decent lover". A+ [...]
