Paul McCartney - "Waiting for your friends"

Paul McCartney claims he wrote this song with the help of George Harrison - even though his former Beatles bandmate died from cancer in 2001. Macca felt Harrison's presence with him so strongly that he still doesn't feel like he wrote the track by himself.

McCartney : "I just got this feeling, ‘this is George’. I was like George - writing one of his songs. It just wrote itself very easily because it wasn't even me writing it. It was funny, particularly the second verse - 'I've been sliding down a slippy slope, I've been climbing up a slowly burning rope'. I just thought - it's a George song".

Available on the forthcoming album “Chaos And Creation In The Backyard” due next autumn
