I've been thinking a lot as of late. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of all time, and there are plenty others to choose from. Not looking for arguments. This is from somebody, that back in junior high, was listening to the song 'Coming Up.' Today, I'm listening to 'Fool on the Hill.' There aren't any bad songs with Paul. How do you just sit there in front of a crowd and write a song? This is all beyond me. Think for a moment, if you will. Everything, having to do with Paul, is like a brilliant ray of sunshine. It's his soul, I do believe. He is peaceful and cares about animals and the world and people. He loved Linda and created a beautiful family along with all the music of 'Wings'. You don't see him on tabloids or on the news because he is a loud mouth wanting attention. I wish the world was filled with more people like him. I'm just wanting to know if anybody agrees and sees exactly what I see. Can I get thumbs up, people? Paul's birthday was two days ago. Happy belated birthday, Paul!

I love Paul. But c'mon you can't exonerate him from the "bad songs" charge. There are plenty: Temporary Secretary, Freedom, Maxwell's Silver Hammer. But he probably has the most "good" songs out of anyone in his peer group as well.

I saw Paul in concert in 2017, and he could do an entire concert on the piano alone. A great talent. I also saw him with three other guys in 1965.

This song. My beloved Mom, a member of The Greatest Generation, opened her heart to the Beatles. She once confided in me that this song, "Fool on the Hill" was her second favorite Beatles song. Her first? "Yesterday", as played and sung by the Beatles, and me, her favorite only daughter. So when I hear this song, I think of my Mom, who could sometime surprise us all with her wisdom and grasp of the mysterious. God love you, Mom. I miss you.

Well said. Totally ridiculous to dislike this. McCartney is unquestionably one of the greatest singers, songwriters, and popular icons of the twentieth century. That being said, as much as I like Paul doing it, my favorite is Sergio and Brazil '66. But Paul wrote it. I was born in '55...I count my lucky stars to have grown up in an era where popular music was extremely well crafted-ALL styles of popular music.

I feel like this song is about the person that we all know, that hasn't done much with their life by the traditional measures. But when you look them in the eye you see they have a joyous glint in their eye, and a knowing smile on the corner of their mouth. And you realise this person exists on a whole different level to yourself, and the other people you know.

Well on the way, Head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him, or the sound he appears to make, and he never seems to notice, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do, and he never shows his feelings, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round.

Who else could we expect a song so introspective and at the same time being sung with so much emotion that it enters us and expands in such a smooth and moving way... It explodes heart!!! Love,Love,Love!

From the moment it came out this tune has always been one of my preferred song from THE BEATLES. One which talks about someone who may perhaps be a dreamer with a vision nobody grasps or understands. "THE FOOL ON THE HILL " is a masterpice of Paul McCarthey.

Yet another masterpiece by Sir Paul. (Experts agree: 'The Magical Mystery Mystery Tour' was one of the Beatles' best albums, in the same league as Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and Rubber Soul.)

Love this album ❤

The best of the best, Gold albums everywhere!

Love this. The four of them stood together for a while, then individually. I've never seen so much creativity.

love this song ❤️

This version is just awesome !

I like the emotion on Paul's face at the end of the song. It means a lot to him. I have the VHS and run it time to time. Good memories

Always loved this song. Like all of Paul's and the Beatles material, it never gets old.

What a wonderful song with so much meaning ...

I love this song💛

I can't get tired of this song. It is so deep and perfect.

This is another Paul's master piece!

If you were able to see the documentary get back ,you could realize that Paul,is the driving force behind the band. He's a perfectionist,he's telling George go to D minor ,then G then he's barking out notes as he goes along. I give him lots of credit for the Beatles success and of course add Jhon and Harrison and Ringo. Paul is a very talented musician,like Prince.

La Choriste - Some more than others. The real fool is the one who can't live with their own foolishness, the foolishness of others and the foolishness of the world. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't believe everything you think. Listen quietly. There is wisdom in silence. Rumi says: "Silence is the voice of God; all else is a poor translation." The world is infinite in all directions; the fool wants to box everything in, categorise everything in nice, neat little lines. And gets frustrated and angry when the world doesn't follow his model, his idée fixe. Bonsoir! La Choriste - Certains plus que d'autres. Le vrai fou est celui qui ne peut pas vivre avec sa propre folie, la folie des autres et la folie du monde. Ne te prends pas trop au sérieux. Ne crois pas tout ce que tu penses. Ecoute doucement. Il y a de la sagesse dans le silence. Rumi dit: "Le silence est la voix de Dieu; tout le reste est une mauvaise traduction." Le monde est infini dans toutes les directions; le fou veut tout encaisser, tout classer dans de jolies petites lignes bien nettes. Et devient frustré et en colère lorsque le monde ne suit pas son modèle, son idée fixe. Bonsoir!
