New McCartney Album song titles
 
Privy to a recent listening session for McCartney's upcoming album. Contrary to reports, the songs do have titles, they just haven't settled on which ones will be on the record and which will be bonus tracks for deluxe versions of the release.

The tentative title for the album is
Leaving Now

The tracks (these are not in the order they will appear, numbered for reference):
1. If We Leave Now ***THE FIRST SINGLE***
2. As I Fly
3. Hosanna
4. Down the Road ***w/Nirvana/Grohl***
5. Life of a Party Girl
6. This Song Belongs (To You)
7. Love Is History
8. Nothing Under the Sun is a medley with
9. Shine Down
10. Quarters and Halves (a possible album title)
11. Blue Skies
12. Hope
13. If I Take You Home Tonight
14. Always Be There ***first single candidate***
15. It's For You

Rockers: If We Leave Now, As I Fly, Down the Road, Shine Down, Always Be There
Ballads/Love Songs: Hosanna, This Song Belongs,Hope, If I Take You Home Tonight, It's For You
Pop: Love Is History, Blue Skies
Hard to Categorize: Nothing Under the Sun (jazz fusion), Quarters and Halves (south american?/jazz), Life of a Party Girl (almost Dylan-like story-telling)

:afro:
Peace.

So how is it?
 
Not as great as Memory Almost Full. But better than Driving Rain or even Flaming Pie.

If We Leave Now reminds me of Jet (or Only Mama Knows).

As I Fly is a nice chugging rocker but goes on too long.

Hosanna is the one classic on here. Astounding.

Down the Road is a lot like Cut Me Some Slack - you either love it or ya don't.

Life of a Party Girl reminds me of She's Given Up Talking or Biker Like An Icon, but maybe a little more fully formed.

This Song Belongs is a pretty simple accoustic tune.

Love Is History has to be Ronson (not sure of who produced what).

Nothing Under the Sun sounds like an improvisation that they should have finished.

Shine Down is a tight little under 2 minute rocker, makes you want more.

Quarters and Halves, maybe I don't get it, but my least favorite, strange rhythm for McCartney to attempt.

Blue Skies is a nice uptempo modern pop song (think the song Driving Rain)

Hope is nice accoustic guitar number with some electronic elements (Fireman style).

If I Take You Home Tonight sounds like it was left off the Kisses album.

Always Be There might be my favorite track. A good old fashioned mid-60s Beatles For Sale rocker.

It's For You - it just dawned on me this is a rerecording of the Cilla Black song Paul wrote in the 60s. Its OK.

Maybe it will be one double album or maybe two different

I really don't care what he calls the songs I just want them to sound even 40% good as what he wrote while in the Beatles. Maybe it's the fact that he no longer has to compete with the songs that "John " brought to the studio to record that has made him a little less quality driven.

@yellowman and @sailorsam:
What are your sources, where did you get your information from?

Here's a release of one of the songs:
Listen to Paul McCartney's New Song, 'New' - Video | Rolling Stone
