Silly Love Songs Paul McCartney Background of this song: This was the answer to much soul searching on McCartney's part to whether he put too much stock in "Love Songs." He once commented: "The fact is, deep down, people are very sentimental. If they watch a sentimental movie at home, they cry, but in public they won't. We don't like to show our emotions; we tend to sneer at that. And in the same way, people may not admit to liking love songs, but that's what they seem to crave." Paul wrote this in response to a post-Beatles breakup comment by John Lennon, in which Lennon claimed that the only songs that Paul wrote for the Beatles were "Silly Love Songs." Another version of story: Actully, insted of Paul writing it as a song against John it was actully a song against a reporter. The reporter commented on one of his albums saying all he does anymore is silly love songs. Piece of nothing song but cool bass line.
