Would this old Paul McCartney song be considered Yacht Rock?

Great low-key, peaceful, inspiring song.
OMG, Macca had song-range that other people would kill for, across any number of genres and stylings.

Seriously, it should NOT BE POSSIBLE for someone to come up with such a wide-range of song & performance material like McCartney did. Ma dudes... It is plainly and unbelievably Miraculous.

Haha, and look at me-- with a gargantuan song-crush upon Mssr Lennon!

I wouldn't call Bluebird or anything by Wings yacht rock, but I don't think that's a very solidly defined genre

It's like the difference between literature and pornography: you know it when you see it.

(Seriously I wanted to jump off a building when I saw a play list called Yacht Rock and knew and liked nearly all songs. Le sigh )

Yacht Rock is a made up bs term.

But they're not all BS. Yacht Rock is complete BS. Rick Beato says it far better than I.

I’d say it’s borderline. Definitely not archetypal but it wouldn’t be out of place on a radio station or playlist.
