I watched a few tutorials and decided the best way to learn how to pose characters was just a trial by fire. So here is the album cover of Wings' Band On The Run recreated with Transformers.

All models can be found on the SFM workshop

Bless you by John is such a gorgeous gorgeous song. It’s most definitely about Paul right ?

I have to agree nonny. Listen to the opening guitar riff of Band on the Run (November 1973), and then the opening riff of Bless You (September 1974). They're not exactly the same, but I think John's riff is designed to call Paul's riff to mind.

Bless You

Bless you wherever you are Windswept child on a shooting star Restless spirits depart Still we're deep in each other's hearts Some people say it's over Now that we spread our wings But we know better darling The hollow ring is only last year's echo Bless you whoever you are Holding her now Be warm and kind hearted And remember though love is strange Now and forever our love will remain

I don't believe John ever included the word "wings" in a lyric without at least considering the possibility that it would be interpreted as a reference to Paul.

Then there's the phrase "love is strange" which is the title of a cover-song that was included on Wings' debut album Wild Life.

I wonder if Paul was (consciously or not) referencing this song with Only Love Remains?

I'd love to hear any more connections people have found.

Thanks for the lovely ask anon!

Sorry, Paul, if you put glasses and a funny nose on the little 60's cartoon guy in your MV, I'm going to think of him as John.
