Paul McCartney, a legendary Beatle and the one who scored the soundtrack for the blockbuster video game Destiny, has revealed the video for “Hope For The Future,” entirely dedicated to the game itself. As laconically described by Pitchfork, “it is pretty weird.”
Coinciding with the anniversary of John Lennon’s murder, as mentioned by Stereogum, the new video presents McCartney as a messenger, floating around the imaginary world of the video game. Arising on different planets, the hologram of singing Paul brings delight and admonishes the characters of the game.
Overall, the song and video seem rather connected, leaving a dreamy and optimistic aftertaste, and are absolutely worth watching.
