2005 single by Paul McCartney
This article is about the Paul McCartney song. For the bird, see Eurasian wren. For the Dickens character, see Our Mutual Friend ? Major characters.
"Jenny Wren" is a song by Paul McCartney from his 2005 album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. It was also released, in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2005, as the second single from the album.
Background
"Jenny Wren" was written in Los Angeles. McCartney wrote the tune in the same sort of finger picking style found in "Blackbird", "Mother Nature`s Son" (The Beatles) and "Calico Skies" (Flaming Pie).[citation needed] The song earned a nomination for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance category.
As to who Jenny Wren is, McCartney said:
A wren is one of my favourite birds, little English bird, it’s the smallest English bird and I always feel very privileged to see a wren because they’re very shy and it’s just, Ah! So a combination of all of that. It’s a favourite bird for me, and then instead of making it a bird, again like ‘Blackbird,’ only more definitely this time I made it a woman, you know, a girl.[2]
Recording
The song was recorded in October 2004.[3] The solo is played on an Armenian woodwind instrument, called a duduk—a first in pop music history[citation needed]—played by Venezuelan-born world winds specialist and multi-instrumentalist Pedro Eustache. The guitar is tuned down a whole step for the song.[citation needed]
Covers
The song has been covered by several artists.
