Promise To You Girl | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Promise To You Girl’ is the eleventh song on Paul McCartney’s 13th solo album Chaos And Creation In The Backyard. See more…

A massively optimistic song, talking about the time it takes to repair this brave old world, because it really is a brave old world. It’s this idea, this crazy Live Aid, Beatles thing, that we can do something, we can contribute. People say, ‘No you can’t, you’re just pop people.’ But you look at Bangladesh, ‘Give Peace a Chance’, you look at Live Aid, and way beyond that, and there is a power that is indisputable. Even if you want to dispute it, and many people will. People have said to me, ‘Do you really think music can change the world?’ I said, Yeah. Cos you bloody know it can. On a heart level it certainly can, but even on a political level. We can change things. All the people listening to this record can do something, and me and my girl can do something and you and your girl or your fella can do something. There’s something that can be done about this brave old world.
