THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
107-Paul McCartney and Wings-Band on the Run.
1974-Number 3 single.
Best Bit-At 2.22.On the album sleeve of Sgt. Pepper’s I reckon there are 62 different people present,on Band on the Run there are 8.Paul and Linda,Michael Parkinson,Kenny Lynch,James Coburn,Clement Freud,Christopher Lee and John Conteh.
McCartney’s(see also best songs 646-319-238-218 and 141) previous two Albums,’Wild Life'(1971) and ‘Red Rose Speedway(1973) had met with mixed reception,so this time he felt he needed to re-establish his career.In order to give himself a fresh start he decided to record ‘Band on the Run’ in Lagos,Nigeria,but it wasn’t the glamorous location he was hoping for.
‘Band on the Run’ is about running away from things that tie you down and escaping to freedom.While in Lagos,Paul and Linda had been robbed at knife point and they were also under constant scrutiny from the press for their use of Cannabis.added to this two of the band refused to travel to Nigeria,leaving only Denny Laine with the McCartney’s.
The song was also inspired by something George Harrison had said back in 1969 when the Beatles were trying to get out of their contract with Alan Klein and the Apple Record label. During a business meeting Harrison had said,’We were all prisoners in some way,’ a remark which resonated with McCartney in his current situation at that time.
‘Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun.’
