Your Loving Flame
Encyclopedia
"Your Loving Flame" is a love song by Paul McCartney
, written for his future fiancée Heather Mills. It appeared on his 2001 album Driving Rain
and was also said to have been the LP's lead single
. Its status as a single is not clear, however, as Wikipedia omits this song from Paul McCartney's main singles discography. Other reliable sources such as AllMusic.com and the now-defunct Discographynet.com also do not list 'Your Loving Flame' as ever having been released as a single. However, the site RateYourMusic.com not only lists it as existing (in remix form), but even shows a picture of it as a vinyl 45rpm record. RateYourMusic also lists the release date as 2002, which would put it as having been released after the album's other two singles 'From A Lover To A Friend' and 'Freedom'.
A live version appeared on the albums Back in the U.S.
(2002) and Back in the World
(2003), as well as the accompanying DVD. The song was also performed live at the Nobel Peace Prize
awards in 2001.
