McCartney's Post Beatles work better than Lennon's

[Animavore]

Too whiny.

[Brian Peacock]

Listen to the studio version, Ani. Makes me cry every time I hear it:

I would have posted that version but the screaming at the end just tears my heart apart....

[Tero]

tattuchu , it was better with Gilmour. Like:

[DawkBoy]

Mother! You had me...
But I never had you...

• I wanted you, but you didn't want me...
  Mother! I just gotta tell you...
  
  • Goodbye....

If this isn't a work of genius then you're dead from the ankles up...

To be fair, you hear that and you wonder why Pink Floyd bothered.

Bothered what?
Pink Flyod are way better than this. This stuff is boring, dreary and cry-baby-ish. It's like a lullaby.

[tattuchu]

As much as I love Paul, and I do love Paul, and I still favor his stuff, I have to admit that the best of Lennon blows anything Paulie has done away.
This sort of brilliance didn't seem to last, though, and petered out after a few years. I remember buying a record from Lennon and Harry Nillson and thinking it was going to be fucking awesome, because I loved both of them so much. But I remember it being utter shite. It seemed uninspired and directionless. I think all the lads came out of The Beatles with a great deal of creative energy, but they seemed to burn through it quickly and were kinda left stalled out after that.
I wonder how much of the early solo stuff was actually Beatles stuff reworked?

[Feck]

Mother ...That could have been the longest 4 minutes of my life ..... didn't make it all the way through .

[Animavore]

Neither did I. I listened to 1 minute. It was terrible. I don't know how people persist in thinking the Beatles or any of their spin-offs were in any way good.

[tattuchu]

Oh, I get it. You guys are joking. Taking the piss, as you people say over there. That was good. You had me going there for a bit

[tattuchu]

Here's another one you may like, then. Feel free to pretend you don't like it

All joking aside, If only that fucker had shot Yoko, then he woulda been a hero.

Of course it's like a lullabye. It's about childhood, and how we carry our childhood into our adult life, but how we have to let that go if we really, truly want to become adults. Roger Waters' endless whining about his dad is childish by comparison - though the guitar solos are pretty good.

I don't think it's as deep as you're making out.
And yes, Pink Floyd had awesome guitar solos and music in general. I'm more musical than lyrical and this music is boring to me. I just listened to the whole thing thinking maybe there was a change in the music I had missed out first time. A sudden change in intensity or tempo. But no. It stayed the same. Flat and dull.

Six bullets....... I would have got both (and I'm a terrible shot with a hand gun ) ..Meh maybe 3 went over her head ,shooting dwarves is maybe more difficult
