Paul McCartney‘s latest album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane will drop Friday May 29; the first single, Things We Left Behind, appeared recently, and now we have another one. Home To Us marks the first Paul and Ringo duet, and also features vocals by Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri.
Says Paul: “Ringo went round to the studio and drummed a bit. I said to [producer Andrew Watt], we should make a track and send it to him. So this song is done totally with Ringo in mind. In writing the song I’m talking about where we came from. In common with a lot of people, you come from nothing and you build yourself up. Ringo was from the Dingle, and that was well hard. He said he used to get mugged coming home, because he worked. Even though it was crazy, it was home to us,.”

“I made the song around that idea and sent it to Ringo. He sent me back a version where he just added some lines to the chorus, so I thought, maybe he doesn’t like it. I rang him and he said he thought I only wanted him to sing one or two lines, and I said I’d love to hear him sing the whole thing. So we took my first line, Ringo’s second line, and then we had a duet.”
Love, Dr. Scott James
