10 Most Underrated Paul McCartney Songs
10. Sing the Changes - Electric Arguments
Paul McCartney has always gone under a variety of aliases in his time. Whether it was being known as the frontman for Wings, the Cute Beatle, or even Percy "Thrills" Thrillington, Macca always used different psuedonyms to divorce himself from the high bar he had set for himself. On the other hand, don't take that to mean that every side project was necessarily bad.
Right after coming off of his work in the classical world with the Liverpool Oratorio, McCartney started to make different forms of electronic music under the name the Fireman, which proved to be a welcome change of pace for most fans. Though this kind of stuff never really saw chart success, Sing the Changes off Electric Arguments was a return to the Paul McCartney that many of us had taken for granted.
Compared to the slower pop he was coming out with, this song was a throwback to the psychedelic pop of the Beatles' years, with a singalong chorus and just the subtlest of electronic enhancements to make the whole track feel like it's floating in the sky. While this was never a big hit, McCartney did think enough of the tune to include it on his live album Good Evening New York City. Despite the '60s hippie culture becoming a stereotype at this point, Sing the Changes is a glimpse into what made that mindset so special in the first place.
