I’m looking through you…
Gamers willing to grind through Bungie’s much-hyped shooter Destiny (https://www.yahoo.com/tech/review-addictive-destiny-is-a-blast-but-struggles-to-97322556854.html) were treated to one of the year’s biggest video game songs during the closing credits: “Hope for the Future,” a track written and performed specifically for the game by one Paul McCartney, some old dude who used to play bass in a pretty OK rock ’n’ roll band.
Don’t have time to slog through the game? Then you can just go straight to the insanity by checking out Sir Paul’s new video for the song. But be warned: The former snake oil salesman (https://vimeo.com/37202934) is at it again, this time tricking us into thinking he’s actually standing on Destiny’s planets:
It’s not exactly his best work: “Hope shines brightest / In the dark / Where nothing’s ever seen” isn’t quite “Yesterday” in the lyrics department, but it’s not half bad for a video-game tune.
By the way, that’s an AI-controlled Ghost from Destiny beaming Macca around the galaxy, which explains the hologram part, but less clear is what exactly the world’s greatest living pop songwriter is doing with his hands. Stop talking with your holographic hands, Paul. You had us at “hope.” Sort of.
