Paul McCartney
One of the most talented songwriters in history. Often underrated for maintaining a "mainstream" sound, the depth and meaning of his songs surpass the political strength of Lennon's, and even the spiritual vastness of Harrison's, though overlooked because of his clever use of metaphors and wording.
Lines like, "All the world's a tiny bubble, floating inside the truth," can mesmerize a philosopher or metaphysician with no end. Other cryptic messages like, "In years to come, they may discover what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about, but it won't be soon enough for me," allude to a optimistic, yet time sensitive revolution of humanity.
Paul McCartney continues to find the marriage between melody, rhythm, and wisdom, all while maintaining a friendly, philanthropic, and personable public image.

Steve: I used to listen to Paul McCartney because of his infectious melodies, but lately the lyrics have had brain working overtime!
Alfred: What do you mean? His songs always seemed silly and meaningless to me.
Steve: They are! Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. He manages to deliver what George and John tried so hard put into song, the only difference is he knows how to relate the concepts to the every day person. Pick up some of his off beat albums like Tug of War or Driving Rain to see what I mean!
