Of this tune, Paul McCartney said, There are some songs that you can't say anything about except that you wrote them. My favorite post-Beatles hit ever, Listen To What The Man Said sounds like four minutes of rhapsody from a guy at the top of his world which McCartney undoubtedly was as nearly as can be claimed by anyone. With a simple lilting hook and beautiful melody, this song is a piece of elegance that worked its way through Paul's head and fingers like the path of least resistance to millions of us.
