1 of Paul McCartney’s Most Cinematic Songs Didn’t Make It to No. 1 Because of Wham!’s ‘Freedom’

One of Paul McCartney‘s most cinematic songs didn’t make it to No. 1 on the charts because of Wham!’s “Freedom.” The former Beatle wasn’t bitter about it. He had fun making the tune.

Paul McCartney’s most cinematic song

In his book, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul wrote that his song, “No More Lonely Nights,” is a straightforward love song. It’s about a lonely person saying, “Can’t wait till we’re together.” Other lines reinforce that idea: “Cause I know what I feel to be right” and “You’re my guiding light.”
