Paul McCartney - Blue Sway Lyrics

Flashing Lights .

It's unbelievable that this song never made the cut when McCartney 2 was released in 1980. It sends a tingle through me like few other songs do. A beautiful little secret 👌🏼
I also highly recommend 'Check my Machine' to anyone who hasn't heard it

cool, you are the best.
I love sea

mccartney ii is the best

Majestic.

Omg love this the horn section Magnetic Magestic

Summer' s almost gone 🐋

I can hear clearly only two words.

Happy birthday sir Paul !!!!!!

It’s a shame this song wasn’t originally included in the playlist of McCartney 2. To say this’s a hidden gem is a huge understatement.

Maravilloso compositor, músico sublime, siempre creando delicias musicales. Ya nada me sorprende de él porque la perfección en música tiene un nombre: Sir Paul McCartney.

Very nice track. Fab vid.

💐💖💖💖

Capolavoro

Bellissimo video, stupenda colonna sonora

Blueeeeeeee swaaaaaaaaaaaaay <3

I recommend this video while high. Frickin Nice

As cool as this is, I have to admit it stressed me out because I felt like I was stuck underwater and couldn't breathe...

Love the video and love the song!

More like a James Bond theme song

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Came back for more Blue Sway. Love ya Paul.

I could have sworn I saw a mermaid in the thumbnail when this video came out back in 2011

This is so beautif and the song was almost tear indusing. 10 OUT OF 10! Love it!

I love this It reminds me of my life and what I have seen all my life.

Any one from the movie Frances Ha!

Mahmoud Hamamo My favorite movie ❤️

One of my all time fav movies, i'd fogetten this track was in it. I love the original demo version a little more though.

Love that movie. Awesome soundtrack to boot.

GREAT MUSIC

Please can anyone explain what is "sway" in this context?
Is it something like "blue realm" or "blue kingdom"? Or is it something totally different?
Thank you.

Sway means to move slowly or rhythmically back and forwards. This is the 'blue sway' of the ocean, the movement of waves. The video captures this beautifully.

Perfect pairing of music and video. The instrumental arrangement is big and beautiful like the waves. Love it when the understated vocal comes in at 0:58 and 2:50.

So cool! The song really fits the video. The video is awesome!

So my cup of tea I love love love love superly love ya blue sway oooooooo tatatata swoooooooosh

Aloha Jack, Great Vid, ThanQ for the ride today, Coco & Sheldito

It rhymes, all day.

I love everything Sir Paul McCartney sings.

Sounds like George Michael and WHAM!

Paul...what a surprising man. Lots of sensacional sounds never released...Now and then we have the chance to listen to real gems. Thank you Paul for spreading music and love in our chaotic world. You bring harmony and peace to our hearts. Fabulous.

Play this at 1.25x speed. It sounds so much better and upbeat.

+NESherv I prefer it at 0.5. Relaxing and tranquil. Great song at any speed though.

+NESherv ..definitely at 1.25x speed!

+Misha “El sol de oro” Vernon ... blimey, you're one tranquil person!

If McCartney had wanted it faster, he would have done it faster. It's great as it is, playing it at 1.25x speed ruins it.

If I want it faster then McCartney will play it faster.

this is perfect.

Jack McCoy?, L&O all the way.

como descrever isto em poucas palavras... hum... MUITO FODA! :D

Great arrangement, weak song.  Paul was right not to release this earlier. 

This is more an instrumental piece than a 'song'... sure, Paul sings some faraway vocals but it's s mood piece. It's an incredibly strong composition and was a mistake not to release earlier.

Paul McCartney covers The Beach Boys Song that was never made. Well Done!

This is not a cover!!

I know I was just saying what it sounds like

Sounds nothing like BB or anything they've done.

Yeah i just looked at my comment I made years ago and realized how it sounds nothing like the beach boys!

Ummmm. I would give this a 69 on a scale of 1 to 10!
Orgasmic!

Kinda sounds like the way Floyd ended.

jimmy cricket , yep..

First time hearing. I hear it like it's the Beatles.

Back when Paul could still sing

WTF you talkin about WIllis??!? Paul McCartney is going to be 75 years old tomorrow and he is STILL out there rockin it all over the world. He can still sing better than some young punks i see these days!

Simply, beautiful!

Nice collaboration

You can tell that in the beginning of the song, there is a sense of "old school" tones and music. I wonder if Paul McCartney left this in the beginning to show the period it was made in, and then transitions into a more vibrant modern jazz. I especially love the transition, but I'm wondering if there still exists a full length piece of the "old school" version. This would only apply if my theory is correct, either way it takes the listener to a classic type of feeling that many songs do not.

There's a track in the McCartney II Deluxe Edition called All You Horse Riders/Blue Sawy, which has the "raw" version

Simply Awesome Sir Paul, as always, Michele.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS THAT IS SO COOL THANKS IM TRAPPED IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW

ill come rescue you Michelle. Ill be your knight in shining armor :P

michelle rosemarie flynn , me too, balance problems.....never heard of this..big Macca fan, seen him several times, big Beatles fan.....

I think that Paul is not ahead of his time. He's perfectly actualized.

WTF that means Ethel???? Are you on drugs??!?

Ethel Maribondo , I get what you mean......

But I'm not sure if it's that different, maybe I'm remembering the first song.

Disc II, track 8, "All You Horse Riders" / "Blue Sway" – 10:15

sorry the bonus on the box set...

mc cartney II?.are u sure.which trax will it be then?

The McCartney II version is much better.

This is the McCartney II version

He means all you horse riders/blue sway and I agree. That version is like royksopp with the ambient/house type of sound.

I like both! And it’s nice to have Blue Sway as a separate track.

Paul MacCartney GENIO,POETA .....LO MEJOR QUE HA HABIDO !!!!! MAGISTRAL!!!

What? I Know You Can't Please Everybody.....But at this point....45 Dislikes is totally NOT Right!

Paul is just awesome. Wish I could get the chance to meet him.

Me too. I think id suck a dick for a chance to meet him even.

0:58

Any time that you want, I know how it feels when outside I go, I sleep... with tears all around, anyway, you're the one I see, what d'you feel you've done to me? I feel blue sway, blue sway, all day blue sway now.

Julian M thank you I understand the feels of his song now.

love this

can someone tell me the lyrics when he begins to sing? I can't find them :)

AMAZING!!!! Thank you Jack and Paul!

Soooo underrated. It should have made the album!

@ninnyhead1
Time for a hearing aid, my friend.

@timbrenzo
Totally agree, the music is awful (regardless of the clip) and certainly does not fit with something this good.
And i'm a big fan with over 500 Beatles records.

Great song, bad clip.
Or is it the other way round?
Shame the song gets a 0 out of 10 when the video is so great...

@MaggieMitchie on the 2011 remaster, disc 2

I LOVE THIS SONG! Is this on McCartney II?

On the deluxe archive release, yes.

THIS VIDEO MAKES ME DIZZY :|, but i love it.

@xzzytv dude mccartney is the godfather of psychedelia, what da fuck are you talkin about with "i still like this" shit

i almost prefer watching this muted and with 'Even After All by Finley Quaye' (or any of the Thicker Than Water soundtrack) in the background....
such nice nice footage.
still love Paul - just don't know if the music fits...

Such a feeling as we are expecting the WORLDWIDE FLOOD, which will wash our sins away (i) ;)

Freaking amazing video, I can't quite say I've ever seen anything else like it.

I do kinda prefer the original version of Blue Sway (sans the strings and all that), it's very ambiant.

Ditto MegaGrushenka!!!!

Love it!!!

Very cool video.

The best and most brilliant Musicvideo I ever have seen! Perfect Work!!! THX to McCoy for those brilliant pictures!

age can't contain genius....

really tripy

Truly a magnificant video and the music is so perfect and fitting.

I LIKE ME....................BEATYFUL

maravilloso

wow i love it
well done

Amazing<3

@cindybeckwith Yes! yes! You are so right!

reminds me of the opening credits of a bond film a little bit, plus the song has that bond swagger too.

What is he saying? I understand the "All day, blue sway", but what other things is he saying? Help?

I think Sir Paul gas some more good songs to write, but this isn't one. Also, if you take into mind that this was done in the 80's, then it is easier to realize that Jesus hates the yankees .

I cant stop listening to this!!

The graphics amazing great job Paul

Congratulations Paul! You just made your first porn theme song. Before all the hatred start. I LOVE Paul but even the greatest stumble at times. This ones of his stumbles.

I LOVE YOU PAUL

Trippy....

Cool video, crappy song. Sounds like it should be playing in an elevator somewhere.
