This is McCartney's "divorce album." On this track he played all the instruments. It's a farewell song, a goodbye to his ex, but he doesn't sound bitter. Quite the opposite. "Well, I was lonely, I was living with a memory / But my cold and lonely nights ended when you sheltered me / Loved by you, I was loved by you." There are parts of McCartney's vocal here that are reminiscent of "Oh! Darling." I like how he goes from gentle to full-throated belting.
"A great song mutates, makes quantum leaps, turns up again like the prodigal son. It crosses genres. Could be punk rock, ragtime, folk-rock, or zydeco, and can be played in a lot of different styles, multiple styles... A great song is the sum of all things." - Bob Dylan
