Crossroads | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Crossroads’ is the closing track on Wings’ fourth studio album Venus And Mars.

Written by Tony Hatch, it was the theme of the low-budget British soap opera that initially ran from 1964 to 1988. See more…

It’s a joke! It’s after ‘Lonely Old People’, you see. They are sitting there in the park, saying, ‘Nobody asked us to play’. It’s a poignant moment. Then there’s a little break and then ‘Crossroads’ starts up. It’s lonely old people. It’s just the kind of thing that lonely old people watch. It could just as easily have been Coronation Street, but we knew the chords to ‘Crossroads’. I just thought that it would be nice to do it.
