"Lonely Road" is a song by Paul McCartney, released as a promotional single from his album Driving Rain in 2002.[3] It had a music video made for it that was directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
McCartney wrote the song on a beach vacation in India,[4] which he states that "I don't really know what i'm doing, just blues longing".[5] The song itself is about a woman that still admires the singer's attempts at showing his love for her even after she rejects him.[6] The track may be best known for its debuts of McCartney's current touring guitarist and drummer, Rusty Anderson and Abe Laboriel Jr.[4] Paul later stated on his website that "You can make of it what you want to make of [the track]. To me, it's not particularly about anything other than not wanting to be brought down."[4] The song was recorded on 16 February 2001 onto a 16-track analogue tape then loaded into Logic for overdubs.[2]
