Not dreadful, but not great. A journeyman pop song.

I've listened to this a few times in the last hour. The lyrics are ordinary, but not as bad as he's written in the recent past. The tune is one of those "I've heard that before" types.

Summing up: typical of better Macca of the last few years, but that is really damning him with faint praise.

Has Paulie really nothing more to say than this? If so, then  my advice is: forget it, mate: your race is over.

Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to me  
It's the philosophy that you've got to see.
(Apologies for any errors: it's hard to tell what he's singing sometimes, but the gist is there.)

didn't you say this was wrong maria????????

T'will grow on me.

This new single sounds good to me. Not great, but very good. It's got that bouncy "Flaming Pie" feel, and the coda is rather nice. I'm not expecting another Band On The Run, or even another Tug Of War, but if this song is any indication, maybe we'll get something that combines the best elements of Flaming Pie and Driving Rain into something that's an improvement over both of those.

Au contraire, Officer Plod. It's quite OK to dl stuff for a preview listen. But if you like it, you buy it. That's always been my position - if you care to go back to the thread where I gave a link to dl Choose Love, you'll see clearly that's my stance.

Sadly, you're wrong again, Plod!

no you are a thief and a hypocrit...you are wrong on so many levels that it is pitiful.why don't you go where you may be wanted.because this is not it.scrod lips.....

Here's what I said when I posted the Choose Love download:

Quoted Text

If you go here [link], you can download, in reasonable quality, the tracks from Ringo's new album. Of course, come June, if you like the album, you'll buy a copy!

So I'm not a thief, and not a hypocrite. So Policeman Plod, the evidence is in, and you are wrong ... again!

when you supply ...you enable

Yes - enable people to make a judgement, for themselves. Thanks for supporting my point of view, at last, young Plod.

thick to boot too.........

I'm listening right now and I quite like it.

I must say I expected something a bit more spectaculair. But the song is alright.

I'll bet the demo of this sounded like something that would have fit in perfect on "Red Rose Speedway".

I'm listening to it, I find it really good!! Well, I'm not sure it will be my fave track from the new album... But good song! The one that you listen to for a few times and it's in your mind already.
