Certain Songs #1449: Paul McCartney & Wings – “Band on the Run”
Posted by Jim Connelly in Certain Songs on Feb 07, 2019
Album: Band on the Run
Year: 1973
It’s entirely possible, if you adjust for 2019 dollars, that “Band on the Run” might just be my all-time favorite song.
At the very least, it’s one of the most important songs in my life, as I loved it more than any song I’d previously encountered, to the point where I went out and got the Band on The Run album and listened to it in the obsessive way only a pre-teen can do. In my room, very loudly, over and over and over again. To the point where, 45 years later, I still know every single nook and cranny. “Band on the Run” can no longer surprise me.
