Love’s Full GloryLinda McCartney

Released: October 26, 1998

Songwriter: Linda McCartney

Producer: Linda McCartney Paul McCartney

Far away, a distant love affair
Grew into something that was gentle and sentimental
And now I know that love has found full glory
Closer now, your love has warmed a heart
That could have frozen in these cold days
Where love is laughed at
Until you came to show me love's full glory

First of all my sadness
Warmed in the sunshine
When you came to show me that love will never die
Now I'm not so lonely
You are here beside me
Giving me the confidence that you alone can show

Take me home

Now at last I found you
You are here beside me
Sharing in the happiness that you alone can give
Now I'm not so lonely
You are here beside me
Giving me the confidence that you alone can show

Take me home

Far away, a distant love affair
Grew into something that was gentle and sentimental
And now I know that love has found full glory
Closer now, your love has warmed a heart
That could have frozen in these cold days
Where love is laughed at...

Linda McCartney

Before she met Paul McCartney, Linda Eastman McCartney (1941-1998) was a professional photographer. Despite the name, she had no connection to the Eastman Kodak fortune – rather, her family were Jewish immigrants who moved to America at a time when it was common for Jewish-Americans to choose English last names as a way to assimilate.

In May 1967, Paul was in the audience at a small music club when he struck up a conversation with Linda. In May 1968, he made an excuse to see her the next time he was in New York. Within a month, they were inseparable, and they stayed devoted to each other until she died of cancer in 1998.

Paul’s biographer called the marriage “by far the happiest and most durable in pop.” With Paul as a coach, Linda went on a notorious rise from totally untrained musician, to a (self-acknowledged) mediocre member of Wings, to the respected counter-melody, co-writer, and muse of Paul’s late-career music. In 1975, she added “activist” to her resume, when she and Paul became the most famous converts to vegetarianism at the time.
