Music Monday - "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney (1970)

Do you have a favorite love song?  My favorite changes from time to time, but I always seem to come back to "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney. 

Paul McCartney wrote this song for his wife Linda just before the Beatles broke up.  It's such an empassioned love song about how love can make you stronger and can fill you with a sense of wonder:

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you"

There were several versions of this song over the 1970's.  The original was released as a music video in the U.K. in 1970.  It is all music and photos of the McCartney family, and it is beautiful.  Paul McCartney did not want to release "Maybe I'm Amazed" as a single, although it appeared on his McCartney album (1970) and also Wings Over America (1976).  The single was released in 1977.  Paul McCartney has said that this is the song he wants to be remembered for.

Here is the original video.  I hope you enjoy!  

Music Monday - "Venus and Mars & Rock Show" by Paul McCartney and Wings (1975)

I just heard this song on the radio and knew it had to be this week's Music Monday share. "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" is a song medley from Wings' 1975 album Venus and Mars.  These songs were written by Paul and Linda McCartney.   I became familiar with them from the Wings Over America album, which I played over and over again during my teen years.  (I have it on CD, and yes, still love it.)   I love the way this soft pretty song ("Venus and Mars") segues into a real classic rock number.  Do you remember this one?  I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
