JUST NOW: 3 Paul McCartney Songs That Will Bring a Tear To Your Eye

3 Paul McCartney Songs That Will Bring a Tear To Your Eye..The Paul McCartney of Get Back - LIFE

1. “Little Willow”
It can be hard to weather the obstacles in one’s life. They can shake us in unspeakable ways, flip our lives upside down, and change us forever. In the face of those obstacles, McCartney offers us some solace with “Little Willow.” The lyrics are peace incarnate, lulling the listener into a state of understanding and acceptance. Despite (or maybe because of that), there is something very poignant about this song. So poignant, in fact, that the listener might be moved to tears.

Sleep little willow, peace going to follow
Time will heal your wounds
Grow to the heavens, now and forever
Always came too soon

2. “The End Of the End”

McCartney imagines what life will be like when he’s gone in “The End Of the End.” He hopes others will remember the good times, tell jokes, and revel in his memory. Despite McCartney’s hope, it’s sad to think about the day that Macca will leave us.

On the day that I die I’d like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old

3. “Here Today”
“Here Today” is McCartney’s ode his late songwriting partner, John Lennon. It wasn’t just his Beatles bandmates that mourned the loss of Lennon. The whole world felt the tinges of grief after his murder. McCartney gives us the perfect song to help us work through that pain with “Here Today.”

Well, knowing you, you’d probably laugh
And say that we were worlds apart
If you were here today, ooh
Here today
