Cover art for Dear Boy lyrics by Paul McCartney

Great song. Written (I presume) from the perspective of someone experienced in love telling a young boy what he's missing out or not appreciating the love he has. For me the layers of backing vocals make this song.

I completely agree with you there; I love listening to this in headphones when the voices can be so distinct. This song was highly underrated on RAM in my opinion.

and I would like to note buterfly7's comment about it sounding like the Beatles back together; i think it's the back vocal tracks that accomplish this feat. I feel that the backing vocals sound very Lennon-esque at times. A lot of the backing vocals on RAM remind me of John.
