The veteran performer, 83, is rumoured to be touring later this year across Europe to promote the upcoming album, <em>The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em>.

A fan took to the forum and asked: \u201cSo, what do we think of the new song?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One fan made an unlikely comparison between\u00a0<em>Days We Left Behind<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Tug of War<\/em>, an album McCartney made in the 1980s alongside Beatles producer George Martin.\u00a0<em>Tug of War<\/em>, McCartney\u2019s fourth solo studio album, released just two years after the death of John Lennon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song\u00a0<em>Here Today<\/em>, featured on the album\u2019s A-side, reflects on McCartney and Lennon\u2019s friendship, as does\u00a0<em>Days We Left Behind<\/em>, according to the Wings frontman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCartney said: \u201cThis is very much a memory song for me. It\u2019s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road, which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class. We didn\u2019t have much at all, but it didn\u2019t matter because all the people were great and you didn\u2019t notice you didn\u2019t have much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans were quick to pick up on the comparison between the two songs, with one fan writing: \u201cWow, love this, a real\u00a0<em>Tug of War<\/em>\u00a0vibe to it. I think we\u2019re in for a good album.\u201d Another agreed, adding: \u201cWow that\u2019s true! I did not think of Tug of War at first, but now that you mention it I can\u2019t definitely hear that in the melody, that\u2019s so cool!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source cultfollowing.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul McCartney performed some of his very best songs for a fiftieth anniversary celebration for Apple.
