‘Friends To Go’ is the fifth song on Paul McCartney’s 13th solo album Chaos And Creation In The Backyard. See more…

The funny thing about it was I felt as if I was almost George Harrison during the writing of that song. I just got this feeling, this is George. So it was like I was writing – I was like George – writing one of his songs. So I just wrote it, it just wrote itself very easily ’cause it wasn’t even me writing it.

I just sat down to write and the feeling of George came over me and I just kept writing it thinking, ‘George could have written this’. It was nice. It was like a sort of friendly song to write.

Does this song sound particularly Harrison-like to you? If McCartney hadn’t made the connection I’m not sure that I would have.

A little, but likewise I don’t think I would have made that connection if Paul hadn’t mentioned it.
