“ It was weird the way that (“Walk With You”) happened,” engineer Bruce Sugar told this writer. He always was and always will be.” It was the first song ever to feature the two former Beatles bandmates singing in a duet. “ I had this little idea for a harmony on one of them,” McCartney told USA Today, “ and I said, ‘You probably don’t want this, but let me show you this idea.’ And he liked it, and so I ended up singing some harmonies. The song is a duet between Ringo and Paul McCartney, in which McCartney echoes Starr’s vocals one beat behind. McCartney developed the “ trailing” duet in the melody of “ Walk With You.“ During the recording of “Peace Dream,” Starr played Paul McCartney several tracks he had completed for Y Not. They reworked the melody and completed the track as a song about the power of friendship. Starr called Van Dyke Parks and asked him to collaborate on writing a “ God song,” but Parks said he did not write about God. In a promotional video, Starr said that “ Walk With You” was originally intended to be a “ gospelly” song. The song was also used as Starr’s entry on the iTunes exclusive 4-track Beatles EP “ 4: John Paul George Ringo”, released in 2014. The track was not originally conceived as a collaboration with McCartney, who originally only planned to play bass on “ Peace Dream“. It features fellow former Beatle Paul McCartney on backing vocals. “ Walk with You” is a song by Ringo Starr, released as a single from his 2010 studio album Y Not.
