MCCARTNEY: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Inspired by his grandkids' passion for video games, Paul McCartney recently collaborated on a new soundtrack to Destiny. The project included a new single called Hope For the Future, which the ex-Beatle recorded at Abbey Road Studios with Giles Martin. The promo video has gathered mixed reactions from fans, but I think it's visually interesting. Paul appears as a holographic image, looking dapper in a slim Nehru jacket. Destiny is a science fiction shooting game, so the pairing with McCartney may seem odd in terms of personal values. But the lyrics really focus on imagery about reaching out to the future, discovery, and bringing light to darkness. It sounds to me like he embraced the hope that embodies space travel- especially for someone who grew up during the space race. As a creative recording project (which he did for free!), Hope For the Future delivers a majestic tune with stunning vocals. I love it! Check it out below and see what you think. The Sci-Fi element reminds me a bit of the robot-like Silly Love Songs sequence in his film, Give My Regards to Broadstreet. Enjoy!
