The delay is finally over as Hope For The Future hits the web today via iTunes and YouTube, as tweeted by the legendary musician's Twitter account. It's an original song set to clips of Bungie's Destiny with a singing hologram version McCartney edited in.
I'm not exactly sure how this mashup came to be, or who thought the end product was worth releasing, but here it is nonetheless.

The whole idea was presumably the idea of a marketing team, but it comes across as desperately out of touch--I don't think someone with such a successful career needs to worry about these gimmicks.
