Paul McCartney – No More Lonely Nights (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984

“No More Lonely Nights” is a song written and performed by Paul McCartney, first released on 24 September 1984, on Give My Regards to Broad Street.

The song features David Gilmour from Pink Floyd on guitars including the soaring solos and fills throughout the song. Reflecting upon the recording in a radio interview before 1990’s Knebworth concerts, Gilmour told Jim Ladd that “No More Lonely Nights” was the last thing McCartney recorded for the film (late 1983/early 1984), and that he told McCartney to give his session fee to a charity of his choice.

“No More Lonely Nights” reached number 6 in the US and number 2 in the UK.

“Silly Love Songs” is a re-recording of the soundtrack to the motion picture Give My Regards to Broad Street. The original version was released in 1976 by Paul McCartney and Wings.
