"It rained like tropical rain, so I had my guitar and thought I could write a song." Paul McCartney – From Mirror, May 5, 2026 – From the “Boys of Dungeon Lane” listening session in London, May 5, 2026 "I was on tour and we were playing Costa Rica, beautiful island. You know, the saying is, “pura vida,” pure life. I thought, “Great, got a day off.” Well, it rained all day, like solid tropical rain. So I thought, “What can I do?” Well, I had my guitar, so I thought, “Yeah, well, I’ve got time now, so I could maybe write a song.” So this is the song. In rainy Costa Rica - Paul McCartney – Track-by-track commentary from Amazon Music "This was written during a day off from tour in Costa Rica, when “it pissed down rain,” ruining plans for a sunny sojourn. McCartney is even heard remarking on audible rainfall at the beginning of the tune before it turns into a song about (obviously) a clearer evening. “The first star of the night is always a sort of special thing when you see it — it always gives me a bit of hope.” - From Variety, April 17, 2026 – From the “Boys of Dungeon Lane” listening session, April 16, 2026 The sweet, melodic acoustic tune stresses “I know my little world is still alright,” upon seeing the first star pop out each night. Even when it's raining inside Something tells me it's alright Positive emotions that died Seem to come back shining bright Like the first star Of the night First star of the night Shows her light to me And I know my little world is still alright Yes, I know my little world is still alright Like the first star Of the night First star of the night Shows her light to me And I know my little world is still alright Yes, I know my little world is still alright First star of the night Shows her light to me And I know my little world is still alright Yes, I know my little world is still alright First star of the night
