Every NightPaul McCartney9rank/position

Every Night (Remastered 2011)

A track Paul McCartney wrote while on vacation in Greece.

It was inspired by the anguish surrounding the breakup of The Beatles.

The track appears on his 1970 solo debut album, McCartney.

Too Much RainPaul McCartney10rank/position

Paul McCartney – Sticking Out Of My Back Pocket: ‘Too Much Rain’

This song is one of the tracks on Paul’s 2005 release, “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.” Literally, the title means “Too Much Rain.” “Too much rain” refers to an overwhelming amount of difficulties or pain that one can’t carry.

The song says it’s wrong that, in life, hardship, suffering, and pain should pour down on certain people like excessive rain.

So let’s smile.

If you want happiness, you need to smile, and you have to learn how to smile—that’s what the song tells us.

We know that, but it’s not easy, is it? It’s especially hard when you’re grieving.

Only Love RemainsPaul McCartney11rank/position

Only Love Remains (1993 Digital Remaster)

Included on the 1986 album “Press to Play.” Born in 1942, he is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool, the former bassist of the Beatles, and a hitmaker who, together with John Lennon, led the band musically.

It’s a song expressing love for his wife, and I think the melody suits the title “Only Love Remains” very well.

Silly Love SongsPaul McCartney & Wings12rank/position

Silly Love Songs

Released in 1976, this signature song by Paul McCartney & Wings topped the U.S.

charts for four consecutive weeks.

Paul is still active today, but this period was his most prolific for album production, with every release from 1974 to 1977 reaching number one.

live and let diePaul McCartney13rank/position

Live And Let Die

It’s a brilliant pop song that feels like Paul’s redemption after going solo.

The Guns version is famous too, but this one sounds flashier and more lavish.

Compared to Paul’s struggles, your own hardships probably aren’t such a big deal—and that thought should help lighten your mood.

It’s an emotional track featuring Paul McCartney on keyboards.
