Very interesting. His voice sounds as if it's manipulated in the studio with some distortion.

Thank you Bobber for posting the track like this for us to hear
I think your right about the manipulation and distortion , it sounds a bit  like John's "Well Well Well" as well as "Helter Skelter" .
I'm loving it ,and although it's very Raw i think it's one of his greatest personal songs ever , the guys really feeling it ?
Not sure it's one he could do live , think you would need a lie down for a week after it .
He really is in a very creative phase these past few years , he's certainly full of surprises .
Reading the blurb on the album he's saying that he just went ahead and recorded what he wanted this time , which means it will be a very mixed bag of an album .
Can't wait to hear it in full though

Since it's from Paul I give it a B+, but as a song itself a C-. Vocals way in the background, powerful start that just can't keep it going for the duration. I think it has the makings of a fine song, but if truly recorded and produced in one day, it could probably have used a bit more love and attention in the recording and production. Is it all done, or could they still be working on it? Who produced it?

I do like the use of harmonica on the two tracks I've heard from the album  




I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

Quoted Text
Macca has the last word on Heather...by hitting out in angry lyrics on new album

For two stormy years, he kept his cool through the most bitter and high-profile divorce in recent history.

But it seems Sir Paul McCartney is at last getting the chance to air his grievances about the breakdown of his marriage to Heather Mills.

He has recorded an album under the pseudonym The Fireman, and Miss Mills has emerged as the thinly-veiled target of its lyrics.

The album title itself - "Electronic Arguments" - is a reference to the texts, emails and alleged phone-bugging which took place between the pair as their marriage slipped into acrimony.

In the first track, which is called "Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight", Sir Paul sings the lyrics: 'You said you love me - but was it true? The last thing to do was to lie about me silently.'

The second track, "Two Magpies", is a reference to Miss Mills and her sister Fiona.

They tried to squeeze hundreds of millions of pounds out of Sir Paul in the divorce case, which ended in the High Court in March with him making a settlement of £24.3 million ($48.6 million) to Miss Mills.

Sources said that he named the song as a dig at the sisters since magpies are known to have the habit of taking brightly-coloured shiny trinkets and jewellery to make their nests with.

"Two Magpies" also refers to the fact that Heather and Fiona grew up in Newcastle, where Newcastle United football club is referred to as The Magpies because of the black and white colouring of the home kit.

The final track on the album, "Don't Stop Running", refers to Sir Paul's final decision to split from Miss Mills and never look back.

There is also an upbeat ballad on the album - "Lifelong Passion" - which sources say Sir Paul wrote about his new love, Nancy Shevell.

The album, due to be released next month, was recorded over nearly a year, with each individual track being written and recorded in the space of just one day.


Moved on: Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell take a walk in Paris after going to his daughters fashion show on Thursday - on his new album Sir Paul sings a song about his new love

Another new song from "Electric Arguments " was played on the "Radcliffe & Maconie" show "Sing The Changes " which they say is going to be the single ?
It's quite eastern sounding like "Life Long Passion" , i really like it , love the vocal from Paul .
Go to radio highlights and click on their show Radcliffe & Maconie 8/10/2008 , you can hear the song  25 mins into the show .
