Tonight I will be making the trip to Citi Field to see McCartney’s last show at the new Mets home. The first two shows were met with incredible reviews and I doubt that tonight will be any different. McCartney has dished out all he has for these shows and the set lists have included songs from “Hey Jude” to various solo material. But, today, in honor of the show, I would like to focus on one particular McCartney composition that is one of my favorites, “The Long and Winding Road.”
One interesting fact that not many know about the song is where it originated from. Well, yes, of course it came from McCartney’s mind, but he penned the song in Scotland inspired by the tension in The Beatles. Why can’t my stress result in beautiful music. Some people have all the luck. The subtle beauty of the song lifts itself above the sad lyrics which McCartney said he loves to write because it keeps him away from the Psychiatrist.
Stay tuned for a review of the concert!
