Paul In Space
When you think of alien attacks, the last humans in the universe and video games, you don’t normally hear Paul McCartney singing in the background. But nope, Paul wrote a fantastic epic piece about hope for the extremely popular game Destiny (a fantastic game by the way). When I had finished the game, the song started during the end credits and the voice sounded very familiar, and sure enough I saw his name slapped there at the bottom to the song. Hope For The Future takes from the main theme of Destiny and stays true to the rest of the soundtrack. This is once again, like Live or Let Die, is a fantastic demonstration of Paul’s ability to organize and write beautifully for a huge orchestra and band. From the deep cellos in the beginning to the brass instruments in the bridge, the song is a rich and full piece. But interestingly, he uses electric and acoustic guitars to really carry the song and its power, it is pretty amazing and impressive how much power the acoustic guitar has in the softer parts. His lyrics and vocals seemed cheesy at first, but they really do grow on you, the video is cool but is odd to see him in the midst of the game characters, I would recommend just listening to the music and skipping the video itself. A great song and it's awesome to see Paul really expanding his musical reach.
