Paul McCartney Says Jimmy Buffett’s New, Last Song May Be His Best Ever

<p>A week after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/jimmybuffett" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Jimmy Buffett</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iheart.com/content/2023-09-02-jimmy-buffett-dead-at-76" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">died</a>, his new song &ldquo;Bubbles Up&rdquo; was released.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.paulmccartney.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Sir Paul McCarney</a>&nbsp;called it &ldquo;probably the best I&rsquo;ve heard him sing ever.&rdquo;</p> <p>Is &ldquo;Bubble&rsquo;s Up&rdquo; Buffett&rsquo;s best song ever? Will it be as big a hit as his earlier hits? I have no idea, but we know Paul McCartney<em>&nbsp;knows a lot</em>&nbsp;about making hit songs (McCartney has scored 22 №1 hits).</p> <p>And McCartney was there, performing with Buffett (who died at 76) on that final album. So, as soon as we heard the McCartney comments, we needed to hear &ldquo;Bubbles Up&rdquo; as quickly as possible.</p> <h2>The true meaning of the phrase Bubbles Up? Jimmy Buffett turns it into his last big hit to show us the way to live</h2> <p>When a boat capsizes, sailors are taught to follow the air bubbles up to the surface to keep from drowning. Those little bubbles point them &ldquo;the way up&rdquo; to safety.</p> <p>McCartney explained on social media:</p> <p>&ldquo;We had a real fun session, and he played me some of his new songs,&rdquo; McCartney wrote. &ldquo;One, in particular, I loved was the song, &lsquo;Bubbles Up&rsquo;. And I told him that not only was the song great, but the vocal was probably the best I&rsquo;ve heard him sing ever.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/narrative/paul-mccartney-says-buffets-new-last-song-may-be-his-best-ever-5e2960e03c96"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
