Ringo Starr releases all-star sing-along from quarantine

Former Beatle Ringo Starr is out with a new single that might be the perfect New Year’s song.

Ringo talks about music he’s recorded in quarantine and how much he still misses John Lennon 40 years after his bandmate’s death. “I miss the man,” he says.

This year has been pretty devoid of large gatherings because of, you know, the whole pandemic thing. Earlier this year, Starr was forced to take his annual birthday bash online because of COVID-19. The Beatles musician usually stages a major street party in Los Angeles to mark his July 7 birthday.

The former Beatle released a new song, “Here’s to the Nights,” on December 16, featuring vocals from 13 other musicians:

1. former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney
2. Past All-Starr Band and Eagles member (Starr’s brother-in-law) Joe Walsh
3. Current All-Starr Band and Toto member Steve Lukather
4. Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl
5. Jenny Lewis
6. Sheryl Crow
7. Lenny Kravitz
8. Chris Stapleton
9. Corinne Bailey Rae
10. Billie Eilish producer FINNEAS
11. Ben Harper
12. Yola
13. Black Pumas member Eric Burton

But that’s not all. The song was penned by star songwriter Diane Warren and features Lukather also on guitar and the Heartbreakers’ Benmont Tench on piano. 

So, you can find some reason to listen to it.

The lyrics, as you might expect, are right on target for 2020: 

1. Here's to falling on your face
2. Getting back up and winning the race
3. Here's to taking it to extremes
4. Never losing faith in our crazy dreams 
5. Here's to having no fear
6. Here's to right now, right here.

So, to all my friends, here’s to the nights we won’t remember and the friends we won’t forget and I am wishing everyone peace and love for 2021.
