Wow, a beautiful song that reminds me of “In My Life”. The song celebrates the way the person he loves changed his life, changed his view of the world, changed his view of himself. Definitely a later-in-years, looking-back, thank-you song to a person he loves.
The phrase “when we were new” really brings me back to the amazing times when you’ve newly fallen in love, and the apple of your eye can do no wrong, and you are the happiest you can be.
My one question is why “Don’t look at me”? What is he ashamed of or embarrassed about? Perhaps he’s a little embarrassed because he’s getting emotional looking back at that wonderful time of his life when he and this person shared this happiness. It makes me tear up a bit looking back on those times in my life.
This is a real gem in McCartney’s 21st Century catalogue.
