Gratitude - Paul McCartney

Gratitude - Paul McCartney
3:18
Memory Almost Full, 2007
Written by Paul McCartney

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.
