"From a Lover to a Friend" is a song by Paul McCartney, featured on his 2001 album Driving Rain. It was released as a single and spent two weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #45.[1] It also reached #6 on the Canadian Singles Chart.[2] In the U.S. it became the b-side to his single "Freedom" and peaked at #24 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
Critics saw the song as a ballad in which McCartney tries to come to terms with the death of his wife Linda,[3] singing "let me love again"; McCartney, however, was less certain whom the song was about in an interview on Howard Stern's radio show.[4]The Guardian called it a "masterpiece... so delicate and honest that it sounds pretty much perfect."[3]
"From a Lover to a Friend" was recorded on 27 February 2001 with Paul playing bass and piano, Abe Laboriel, Jr. playing drums, Rusty Anderson on 12-string electric guitar, and Gabe Dixon on piano.[5]
