Paul Mccartney In The Sunday Times
51 Answers
There is a fascinating piece in today's ST Magazine about Paul McCartney's new book, in which he discusses his lyrics through the years, and the ST prints a section of lyrics by each part.
One of the songs is Dear Friend, from the Wildlife album, a favourite album and song of mine.
I noticed that the ST printed the line "Dear friend, throw the wine ..." and I had always heard it as THROUGH the wine, which to my ears, makes sense, rather than 'throw the wine'.
I listened again, and in my view, Paul slightly slurs the word, it does sound like 'throw' - but I don;t think that makes sense, but 'through the wine' does make sense.
I have attached the song - the line comes in after 38 seconds - do let me know what you think.
