Live And Let Die

Live and Let Die was written by Paul and Linda McCartney for the James Bond film of the same name. The song signified the beginning of Wings, Pauls band after the Beatles. It was the McCartneys first foray into film work, marking a significant step in their post-Beatles careers. Featuring a blend of rock and orchestral music, the song deals with themes of letting go and accepting change.
