Wings - Silly Love Songs (Bass cover with tabs)

#basstranscription #basscoverwithtabs #7daysofpaulmccartney

Day 6 of the Paul McCartney week!

"Silly Love Songs" was written by Paul in response to John Lennon and some music critics accusing him to mainly writing "silly love songs".

In an interview with Billboard Magazine Paul said:

... over the years people have said, "Aw, he sings love songs, he writes love songs, he's so soppy at times." I thought, Well, I know what they mean, but, people have been doing love songs forever. I like 'em, other people like 'em, and there's a lot of people I love -- I'm lucky enough to have that in my life. So the idea was that "you" may call them silly, but what's wrong with that?

The song was, in a way, to answer people who just accuse me of being soppy. The nice payoff now is that a lot of the people I meet who are at the age where they've just got a couple of kids and have grown up a bit, settling down, they'll say to me, "I thought you were really soppy for years, but I get it now! I see what you were doing!"

By the way, "Silly Love Songs" also had a good bass line and worked well live."

The song did not only work well live, but became McCartney's 27th number one as a songwriter; the all-time record for the most number one hits achieved by a songwriter.

"Silly Love Songs" was first released in 1976 on the album "Wings At The Speed Of Sound".
