Spinning On An Axis | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Spinning On An Axis’ is the ninth song on Paul McCartney’s 2001 album Driving Rain.

Along with ‘Back In The Sunshine Again’, it was one of two songs on the album co-written by McCartney and his son James. See more…

I was sitting in New Hampshire, visiting American relatives. The sun was going down and me and James, my son, were talking about how the sun actually isn’t going down, we’re turning around away from it. We had a little keyboard thing there and James was playing a little riff on it and I was doing a parody rap thing, just goofing off with no real melody, on those thoughts of spinning on an axis. I had my little cassette with me and I happened to tape that as a little reminder.
