From paulmccartney.com, June 20, 2014:
Today PaulMcCartney.com publishes a new fan lyric video for Paul’s song ‘Save Us’.
We recently asked you to pick a line from Paul’s song ‘Save Us’ then represent that lyric in a creative way. We received thousands of entries! Though we expected a big response we were still astonished by the volume, quality and originality of your photos. Thank you!
After carefully selecting our favourites (this was no easy task!) we put them all together to create the first Paul McCartney fan lyric video.
We loved seeing how Paul’s lyrics were visually interpreted in so many different ways. Paul has previously said:
“I do love that thing about songs – when you release them they become ‘people’s property’; they’re not mine anymore. If someone puts a meaning on one of my songs that suits them, then that’s great, I can only be complimented by that.”
We love that you made ‘Save Us’ your own with your photos!
Paul was so impressed with your creativity he has asked that we put our thinking hats on and come up with some more exciting ways to involve you in one of his next projects. So if your photo doesn’t appear this time, remember there will be more chances in the future!
On behalf of Paul, we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sent in photos. We can’t wait to see what we do next…
