No Words

The song was written before the release of Wings' second album, Red Rose Speedway, but not recorded until the Band on the Run sessions. It began with an unfinished melody that Laine wrote and was then completed by the group during the recording sessions. == Recording ==

The basic track was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria and was later completed in September in England. The orchestral arrangements, consisting of brass instruments and string quartets were made by Tony Visconti. Ian Horne and Trevor Jones, two of Wings' roadies, sang backing vocals on the track although their parts are buried in the mix. Otherwise, the vocals consist primarily of Laine and Paul and Linda McCartney all singing together, with Laine and Paul McCartney each taking a solo spot. The key moves to the dominant, E major, for the refrain. ==Reception==

Ultimate Classic Rock critic Nick DeRiso rated "No Words" as Denny Laine's 6th best song, calling it "an uplifting meditation on wordlessly loving someone". == Live performances ==

The only time the song was performed live by Wings was in 1979 during their final tour. == Personnel ==
