Today’s DJ Pick of the Week goes to Paul McCartney for his song, “Find My Way”. Former Beatle’s member, Paul McCartney released his 18thsolo album titled McCartney III on December 18thof 2020. He plays all of the instruments and sings all of the vocals on the 11 tracks featured on the album which he recorded during his time in quarantine. The song is about McCartney’s view on the pandemic and how he chose to remain optimistic during such a nerve-wracking time in history.
“You never used to be
Afraid of days like these
But now you’re overwhelmed
By your anxieties
Let me help you out
Let me be your guide
I can help you reach
The love you feel inside”
Lyrics from “Find My Way” by Paul McCartney
In an interview with Adam Buxton regarding this track, McCartney said, “I was thinking about people who worry more than I do. And I know one or two people which are just kind-of worried about life. And it’s not that I don’t, it’s just that I deal with those worries and think “No, it’s ok, there’s a way out of this” and I can generally find some optimistic exit from a bad situation.” It is very admirable seeing someone who thinks so positively at 78 years old in the midst of a pandemic.
The music video features various clips of McCartney playing all the different instruments featured in the song. It is quite extraordinary watching one man create such wonderful music all by himself and this video really spotlights his talent. Check it out below!
