The Fireman is the moniker given to electronic music experiments created by Paul McCartney and Youth. In 1993, the duo of McCartney and Youth released its first album, Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest, and followed that withRushes in 1998. In 2000, Youth also took part in McCartney's similarly styled Liverpool Sound Collage. The duo's most recent album, Electric Arguments, is available on its Web site.

In June 2008, McCartney's official Web site announced that a track called "Lifelong Passion (Sail Away)," from the album Electric Arguments would be issued as a limited-edition download to fans who donated to the charityAdopt-A-Minefield. The album was released on the label One Little Indian on 24 November 2008. The new album features more traditional songs, in which there are vocals (the first time on any of their albums). The majority of the album's vocals come from McCartney.

The duo borrowed the title "Electric Arguments" from the poem "Kansas City to St. Louis" by Allen Ginsberg. InWired magazine, McCartney stated this was because "he's been looking at the beauty of word combinations rather than their meaning.
