Paul McCartney, “Every Night”

Paul McCartney, “Every Night,” from the album, McCarthy (1970). This was off of his very first solo album. I remember seeing this album on the store shelves, but I wasn’t into rock music when this came out. “Maybe I’m Amazed” is on here too. Another great, classic song. I never even knew what this song was called or even knew it very well until I started hearing it a lot lately. I can’t believe I missed this song.

The album itself was widely panned but it has gained a bit more respect in later years. The entire album is characterized by effortless simplicity. That was the source of both the original critique of and subsequent praise for the album.

The lyrics are quietly, effortlessly simple also. They’re also quite perfect.

Every night I just want to go out Get out of my head Every day I don’t want to get up Get out of my bed Every night I want to play out And every day I want to do

Ooh ooh oh oh But tonight I just want to stay in

And be with you And be with you Ooh… Ooh… Believe me mama

Every day I lean on a lamp post I’m wasting my time Every day I lay on a pillow I’m resting my mind Every morning brings a new day Every night that day is through Ooh ooh oh oh But tonight I just want to stay in

And be with you And be with you Ooh… Ooh… Believe me mama ooh… Ooh…
