„Когато бях готов с песента, не мислех за видеото”, казва музикантът. Нормално, Пол – ти си от старото поколение. Песента е от албума New, пуснат в края на 2013-a. Видеото се появява на рождения ден на Ринго Стар 7 юли, но това няма нищо общо, честно. Ето и Маккартни твърди така: „Това е песен спомен за мен и Джон през младите ни години“. Разказът върви през 50-те години в Южните щати за живота на чернокожи младежи, започващи от нулата с цел да имат банда. Къде в клипа е Джони Деп, открийте сами. Режисьор е Винсент Хейкок.
Early Days:
They can’t take it from me if they try
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazed
Dressed in black from head to toe
Two guitars across our backs
We would walk the city roads
Seeking someone who would listen to the music
That we were writing down at home
But they can’t take it from me if they try
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazy
Hair slicked back with Vaseline
Like the pictures on the wall
Of the local record shop
Hearing noises we were destined to remember
We willed the thrill to never stop
May sweet memories of friends from the past
Always come to you, when you look for them
And your inspiration, long may it last
May it come to you, time and time again
Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
Who did this and who did that
But as for me I don’t see how they can remember
When they weren’t where it was at
And they can’t take it from me if they try
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazed
I lived through those early days
I lived through those early days
