I still feel no love for the song.

Really?........ Well........ Really?......... I don't know, my dad died when I was young so maybe that's why it gets me soo much. I don't know though, I feel like anyone who has lost someone (even just lost touch with) could relate?

I wouldn't go as far as to claim it's his best solo career song, but I think it's the most moving one. I was getting tired of Paul's "Silly love songs"(great song by the way)and that one made me almost cry. Poor Paul...

Oh yes, when he says 'what about the night we cried? there wasnt any reason left to keep it all inside' that gets me. When I saw him this summer, it seemed to me that he was singing it from the heart. He really meant it. Every version of anything Paul ever does is perfect to me though, hehe

It always gets me there too, it was the one of the few times I have ever cried because of a song. Even just reading the lyrics made me tear up.

Music is the one median that can bring us all together like nothing else.

Godd, I didn't think music could have such an impact but obviously it can, and it has.

It certainly does. That's one of the million reasons why I'm so glad to be a Beatles fan.

This song is so beautiful. I've listened to it every day since my Nanna died. It does make me feel better just because of the fact it's Paul singing but it makes me cry because it's just so beautiful.

Paul McCartney is just perfect. He's staying in my life forever.

Or the live version, is is just him, or is there syntheised strings? I can't remember.

I heard the live versions before the studio one. I found the latter slightly disappointing - I much prefer the simple acoustic guitar arrangement to the strings/guitar one, although it is a very good George Martin score.

I agree 100% the first time I heard it was in concert I never heard the studio version until just now. I don't think it was terrible, I guess the live version gives a deeper feeling.

The Version he sang at the Montreal Concert I attended was the Best version he plays.

I like the song because it's not like a typical tribute song. It's got a psychological element to it, I think I've heard Paul talk about how he wrote it as if he were having a conversation with John. It was nice seeing him perform it live, which I agree is much better than the studio version.

I like this song a lot but I agree with Joe, I prefer the live version.
