‘Once Upon A Long Ago’ was a single released by Paul McCartney in November 1987. See more…
I’ve done some recording with Phil Ramone recently and this was something that came out of those sessions that we liked. The sentiment is ‘times remembered’: once upon a long ago… things were so much simpler then… It’s got some nice bits in it, I think it’s quite a haunting thing. I feel quite good about it.

Offline This is a good song; I’m right on the edge of saying it’s inspired, although unfortunately one rule of inspiration is that you shouldn’t have to mull over whether a song is inspired — it should hit you immediately. But who knows; maybe there’s an exception to that rule…
Paul does something interesting with his voice, kind of subtle, investing his vocals with a kind of emotional caring, which usually he studiously avoids — and here it just barely succeeds.
Now today I find, you have changed your mind
