As big a Beatles fan as I was as a kid and now am as a senior citizen, this song escaped me until recently. The creative genius of the Beatles and of Paul never ceases to amaze. The ability to rework the common place into beautiful melodic works of art is amazing. This is probably one of his most beautiful songs and paired with photos of Linda, who I believe was the most beautiful love of his life, makes for a meaningful and memorable video and time capsule. Many thanks for your work.
Instrumental version from Jerry Maguire.

"Junk" is a song written by English musician Paul McCartney and released on his debut studio album McCartney (1970). He wrote the song in 1968 with the Beatles while the group were studying Transcendental Meditation in India.[1]After the band's return from India, he recorded the song as a demo at Kinfauns, George Harrison's home, before sessions for The Beatles (also known as "the White Album") took place. It was ultimately passed over for inclusion on The Beatles and Abbey Road in 1969. After the group's break-up, McCartney recorded the song for inclusion on McCartney. The lyrics describe various items in a junkyard. A slightly longer, instrumental version of the song, titled "Singalong Junk", also appears on the album.
