I didn't hear the song until earlier today because someone was talking about it and until now I kept hoping Bungie would, if not put the credits video in the game, at least have it on their site, and then forgetting about it. My thoughts on the video are a lot like my thoughts on the song: it's cheesy, but I think it fits with Bungie and Paul McCartney. Maybe it should be a little less repetitive and maybe a little less direct, but I think it works. The video has that plus an element of feeling cheap, like a fan production, but for all the cheesiness and cheapness and repetition, it feels genuine, it feels like he really did come up with all this. Whether he could've used an editor or something, I don't know, it's very possible. Honestly, it's kind of adorable, like a kid that made what is, for that kid, a good drawing, but it's still very artistically flawed, but you can't stop smiling because it's kind of funny but also because they did OK and they poured their heart onto a page for you. I can't help but think of an alternate reality where more of the Beatles are alive and on good terms with each other, and they'd all been in on this, and able to bounce ideas off each other and act as editors and critics before anything could get out the door, and maybe even do more than produce one song and help direct the overall sound of the game... but that's a world that can't be, I'd rather have a real future with real hope.
