I want to dedicate this review to a single that has been with me since I was a child. Beautiful Night by Paul McCartney.

Fresh from the emotions of the recent concert in Milan, I revisited this track from 1997. For me, this song holds immense emotional value, but aside from personal experiences, this is perhaps the last great anthem of the ex-Beatle.

What can be said about Paul McCartney's solo career? Well, certainly many highs and many lows; not a career of continuous compositional successes (I will leave aside the obvious commercial success that, of course, always arrives given the importance of the artist), but periodically we have been given pop gems that apparently do not coincide with the artist's age.

"Flaming Pie" is the album that contains this single, and throughout the work, there is a return to Beatles sounds, those "McCartney-esque" ones.

"Beautiful Night" is the desire to sit at the piano, remember having written an unrepeatable Let It Be, accept having grown older, remember being a Beatle, become young again, imagine Abbey Road, and finally tell oneself, "I AM ENGLISH."

This is a track that can ONLY BE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WITH THIS COMPOSITIONAL BACKGROUND. Paul tries again and produces a magical track, beautiful, nostalgic, and full of emotions.

It has everything needed to naturally urge one to listen repeatedly.

I truly have no words to describe the compositional power of this man who, despite wrinkles, remains so fresh. His talent is inexhaustible; he knows the paradigms of immortality. He has learned to draw from music constantly without ever replacing it. Paul is somewhat the Plato of POP musicians... he contemplates music, grasps its beauty, and composes the idea. Because he has been an author of great pieces, all of which are IDEAS for successive generations.

Paul has always written musical concepts.
