Paul McCartney Shares ‘Hope For The Future’

Written for the 'Destiny' computer game...

Don't look now but the way in which computer games interact with music has massively evolved.

Each instalment of 'Grand Theft Auto' brings with it a stellar soundtrack, with new games upping their game to stay in touch.

'Destiny' is out now, with Paul McCartney supplying a brand new track for its soundtrack. Recorded at Abbey Road with a 120 piece orchestra, it's a lush, sweeping piece.

Cinematic in scope, McCartney's melodic flair is evident throughout. Video game developer Bungie are behind the game, with a representative recently informing Vulture about McCartney’s involvement.

"There was no check involved, big or otherwise,” “He’s in it for the creativity. He got a wonderful opportunity to reach an audience that wouldn’t typically be immersed in Paul McCartney. They might hear the name — of course he’s everywhere, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics, obviously he’s touring and recording nonstop — but he sees it as a way to reach a new audience that might not otherwise hear his music."
