‘Feeling The Sunlight’ is the second song on Ringo Starr’s 2023 EP Rewind Forward.
It was written by Paul McCartney, who also performed all the instruments apart from Starr’s drums and percussion. McCartney’s parts were recorded at his Hog Hill Mill studio in England.
Yeah well, I was FaceTime him – we FaceTime each other like twice a month, or if he’s in town, we hang, if I’m in London, we hang. And I said ‘well, I’m doing do an EP, have you got any songs? Write me a song!’ And he said OK, and then he sent me this one, the ‘Sunshine’ song. And he’s all over it, which is great, and when he did send the work track, he’d actually done the drums, so we had to take them off. So I did the drums and the vocals and it was fun.
Paul and I were in England, having dinner together. I told him I was making an EP, and I said, ‘Why don’t you write me a song?’ He wrote the song and put bass on it, he put piano, he put the drums on – and I had to take the drums off. [Laughs]
