Another Day/Oh Woman,Oh Why

"Another Day" is a song recorded by Paul McCartney in New York in 1970, during the sessions for his album Ram. Although it was the first single of McCartney's solo career,"Another Day" was actually written and previewed during The Beatles' Let It Be Sessions in 1969. It was officially released 19 February 1971 with "Oh Woman, Oh Why" as the B-side.Neither song was included on the original pressings of Ram. "Another Day" is written in an observational style reminiscent of "Eleanor Rigby" and "She's Leaving Home". Coincidentally, Denny Seiwell, drummer from Ram Sessions, called it, ""Eleanor Rigby" in New York City."The lyrics describe the drudgery and sadness of an unnamed woman's life at work and at home, with the lilting melody of the verses and "du du du"s of the chorus contrasting with the darker tone (lyrically and musically) of the bridges. Paul's wife, Linda McCartney, provided eloquent harmony vocals on "Another Day". Describing his and Linda's distinctive harmonies, McCartney said "I wanted our sound." Paul was deliberately attempting to create a unique McCartney style, a musical identity outside of The Beatles.McCartney had decided to list Linda as co-writer of more than half the songs on Ram, plus the hit single "Another Day." Despite her lack of musical pedigree, he insisted that Linda had been an active collaborator, making valuable suggestions about lyrics and melodies.Linda being credited as co-writer was seen as a business manoeuvre in the post-Beatles legal matters. Matching the lyrical sense of isolation and social alienation was the unique sound of "Another Day." Studio Assistant Engineer of the Ram Sessions, Dixon Van Winkle said that Paul asked him to pick the single. With McCartney's blessing, Winkle mixed the song and pressed 100 copies for radio stations. "The next day I heard it on the air, I realized...we got carried away with the bass part...it pumped like crazy. But we never remixed the song, and Paul never said anything." Even so, the song was a hit in the United States] and the United Kingdom, peaking at number five in the US and number two in the UK in March 1971. In Australia, the song spent one week at number one. In France, the song was a number one hit "Oh Woman, Oh Why" is a song by musician Paul McCartney. It was first released on the Apple Records label in February 1971 as the B-side to "Another Day", his debut solo single. The release achieved top-5 status on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching U.S. #5 and U.K. #2 in April 1971.The song has been praised for McCartney's impressive range of pitch. This B-side "Oh Woman, Oh Why" is a tense, blusey rocker with a rip-roaring vocal from Paul. Combined with drummer Seiwell's thunderous drumming, "Oh Woman, Oh Why" establishes a solid foundation upon which tight guitar lines interweave. McCartney's gritty vocal is one of his best and provides some convincing authenticity to this blues-based rocker. Although "Another Day" and "Oh Woman, Oh Why" were not originally released as part of a Paul McCartney album, they were released as bonus tracks on later editions of Ram.
