When was mull of kintyre released

We were retreating from the world; it was really comforting to be there. We just headed north and escaped. It was glorious. In the evenings, you could walk outside and there would be this endless sky.

In some ways, it was at the end of the world. I fell in love with Scotland again and wrote a song based on my love of the area, with the local pipe band. But I loved it. My love of Scotland, I got off John Lennon. I had to find out what key the bagpipes play in — got my guitar out and asked Tony Wilson, the leader of the Campbeltown Pipe Band at the time. It was great fun doing it. We converted this barn just for the night, with a mobile studio brought in — moved the barley out.

So we had a couple of McEwans and off we went. It was great. Mull of Kintyre? Oh mist rolling in from the sea? My desire is always to be here? Oh Mull of Kintyre? Far have I travelled and much have I seen? Dark distant mountains with valleys of green Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire? Carry me back to the days I knew then Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir?

Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre?? Still take me back where my memories remain? Flickering embers grow higher and higher?

As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre?? MoMac's Hidden Tracks Vol. However, the single fared far less well, peaking at number 33 on the Billboard Hot The single also went no further than number 34 in Canada. When ever I here this song , it reminds me of Christmas Mum and Dad bought it.

The promotional video that went with it was brilliant. I Love this song, Mull of Kyntire, maybe because my last name is Bruce. I remember reading a biography about Paul where it says that Paul brought the right to the song from co-writer Denny Lane as mr. Lane needed money to pay an unseattled tax-bill. Can anyone confirm that story?

Yes…I saw an interview with Laine after he and Paul had mended fences. Paul got criticized for buying Laines rights as it he were taking advantage of him. Denny set the record straight and said he needed the money badly and was very grateful Paul bought the rights.

Yank, here. As we fought the currents between Islay and the Mull of Kintyre to reach the Irish Sea, our skipper mentioned that Paul McCartney had written a hit song about it the Mull. Beautiful song. Years later, I was also stationed in Germany and got to see the Black Watch do exactly the same thing. Very impressive. Played it and loved it immediately. Borrowed his LP to make a tape copy and then later scored myself a copy of the single, which I still have.
