because Macca is feeling it in his guts, and I love that Miles love it

from 2026-05-26 NYTimes article:

McCartney revisited his old studio methods while making the new album. During one corporate reorganization of EMI, the Beatles’ longtime label, its accountants decided to sell off equipment from its Abbey Road studio. McCartney bought many of the instruments, among them the Mellotron he used on “Strawberry Fields,” the spinet piano he played on “Because” and a four-track Studer tape recorder which may have been the one used to record “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” though McCartney has been unable to document whether it’s the exact machine.

He still uses the vintage gear. One new track, “We Two” — a fond song about love, partnership and mutual support and respect — was entirely recorded to tape on the Studer.

As You Lie There — there’s a special production trick there, or at least I think so, that makes me love opening tracks on so many albums. The contrast between the intro and the rest of the song reminds me of Wide Prairie, sung by Linda, and I love how that song opens with Linda’s story and Paul’s flirty “Have you got a light?” So the opening of As You Lie There made me think of that song too.

And I love Paul’s harsh voice, and there’s a lot of it here! Especially that final “aaaAAAh!” teleporting straight into my brain before the calm finish.

Days We Left Behind already feels like home.

we wanna live for love like other people do over, over again i'll be in love with you
