Find My Way Lyrics
Well, I can find my way
I know my left from right
Because we never close
I'm open day and night
[Verse 2]
I know my way around
I walk towards the light
I'm open 'round the clock
I don't get lost at night
[Chorus]
You never used to be afraid of days like these
But now you're overwhelmed by your anxieties
Let me help you out, let me be your guide
I can help you reach the love you feel inside
[Verse 1]
Well, I can find my way
I know my left from right
Because we never close
I'm open day and night
Ooh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh yeah
You never used to be afraid of days like these
But now you're overwhelmed by your anxieties
Let me help you out, let me be your guide
I can help you reach the love you feel inside
[Verse 2]
I know my way around
I walk towards the light
I'm open 'round the clock
I don't get lost at night
[Chorus]
You never used to be afraid of days like these
But now you're overwhelmed by your anxieties
Let me help you out, let me be your guide
I can help you reach the love you feel inside
[Verse 2]
I know my way around
I walk towards the light
I'm open 'round the clock
I don't get lost at night
About
“Find My Way” is one of the more densely-textured tracks on McCartney III, featuring two bass tracks, switching between a Moog bass and Paul’s famous Hofner, and two drum tracks, as well as several intertwining electric guitar parts. Engineer Steve Orchard spoke of how the song was recorded:
For Find My Way we used a quarter-inch Brenell tape machine. It’s got a speaker built into it, Paul will record a lick into it, and then we’ll play it back at different speeds through the speaker. We’ve got a tape loop set up with a tape reel the lid of a coffee can so you get a continuous loop. It’s got a sound-on-sound mode where it lifts the tape away from the record head so you can have a couple of different sounds playing at the same time. Then when you put it into playback mode you can play it at different speeds and get different octaves. We’ll record that into Pro Tools and edit them up.
The lyrics talk about offering someone emotional support in the worrying COVID-19 era. Sheet music for the melody appeared on a wall in Los Angeles on 5 December, 2020, as the second part of the #12DaysofPaul campaign.
