"Hope for the Future", by Paul McCartney Quiz

Answer:

The song "Hope For the Future" was written by Paul McCartney in 2014. The song, which is a power ballad, was sung by Paul and supported by his touring band. Members of the band are Wix Wickens, Rusty Anderson, Abe Laboriel Jr., and Brian Ray. The record was produced by Giles Martin.

An interesting fact about the song is that there are five versions of it. The reason behind all the different versions is that the song was written for the end of a video game called "Destiny". The five takes are Track 1 "Hope For the Future [Main]", Track 2 "Hope For the Future [Thrash]", Track 3 "Hope For the Future [Beatsession Mix]", Track 4 "Hope For the Future [Jaded Mix]", and Track 5 "Hope For the Future [Mirwais Mix]". Originally, the only way you could hear any of the tracks was within the game itself.

The song was eventually released in 2015 as a 12-inch vinyl single and a digital download. The music was recorded at Abbey Road, London; Avatar Studios, New York; Air Studios, London; and Hog Hill Mill, Sussex. "Hope for the Future" was McCartney's first single issued on vinyl in the United Kingdom in over seven years. It was also the first time McCartney has written expressly for a video game.

As I'm sure most of you will know, Paul McCartney was a former member of The Beatles (1960-1970), and later, Paul McCartney and Wings (1971-1981). Paul was born on 18 June 1942, in Liverpool, England. Paul's first band was called The Quarrymen (1957-1960), an early version of what would later be called The Beatles. Together with John Lennon, they are recognised as probably the most successful partnership in modern music.
