Hope Of Deliverance | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Hope Of Deliverance’ was the lead single released from Paul McCartney’s ninth solo album Off The Ground. See more…

I wrote this song up in the attic of my house to get some peace and quiet to myself. It has a little ladder leading up to a trap door so that once you close it, no one else can reach you. I brought a Martin twelve-string guitar up with me, with a capo on it about halfway up the guitar neck to change the sound. It sounds much more jingly that way, which reminds me of Christmas and churches. Maybe that’s what led me to the idea of hope and deliverance.
