A Rare Glimpse into Paul McCartney's Musical Past Unveiled: "Arrow Through Me" and "Live and Let Die" Get a Live Stream Treatment.
Amazon Music has just dropped two rare, previously unheard tracks by Paul McCartney and Wings – an alternate mix of the 1979 song "Arrow Through Me" and a live version of the 1973 hit "Live and Let Die". Both tracks will feature on the upcoming soundtrack for documentary "Paul McCartney: Man on the Run", set to be released on February 27.
The unreleased rough mix of "Arrow Through Me", a funky rock ballad with an infectious analog synth line, showcases McCartney's vocal range in a more pronounced manner. This stripped-back arrangement highlights his vocals by weaving his voice in and out of the mix through echoey effects, adding a playful touch to his signature scatting.
In stark contrast, the live "Rockshow" version of "Live and Let Die", recorded for the 1980 concert film "Rockshow", offers an explosive performance. Captured during McCartney's mid-Seventies tour, this rendition features Linda introducing the song as being about a British secret agent, complete with cheers from the crowd before it erupts into a familiar Wings classic.
These rare tracks join other gems on the "Paul McCartney: Man on the Run" soundtrack, which promises to take fans on an intimate journey through the life of Paul McCartney. Featuring interviews with the McCarrellys and several members of Wings, as well as special guests, this documentary aims to capture the essence of how McCartney forged his musical identity after the Beatles' dissolution.
This upcoming album is a must-have for any die-hard fan of the legendary musician, offering an exclusive look at McCartney's creative process and artistic evolution.

Omg I'm literally dying over these new tracks!!! Paul's vocals on "Arrow Through Me" sound so hauntingly beautiful 
can't wait to see him perform live on Feb 27! And the raw energy of "Live and Let Die" Live at Rockshow is giving me LIFE 
The McCarrelllys' interviews in the docu look so juicy too, gonna be a must-watch for any Wings fan 
. And can you believe a live version of "Live and Let Die"? That mid-Seventies energy is infectious 
. I'm so down for this documentary, it's gonna be like getting an intimate backstage pass into Paul McCartney's creative world 
. Fingers crossed the soundtrack is a game-changer too... who knows what other hidden gems are waiting to be unearthed? 
. The live version of "Live and Let Die" is probably gonna be a highlight reel of McCartney screaming his head off with Wings... how original 
. I'm not saying these tracks won't appeal to die-hard fans, but for me, it's all just another example of people trying to cash in on Paul McCartney's legacy 
.
I mean, can you even imagine listening to "Arrow Through Me" in its raw form? It's like getting a glimpse into Paul's songwriting room back in the day. And that live version of "Live and Let Die"? Mind. Blown. 
Can you believe we're finally getting to hear Paul McCartney's innermost thoughts... or rather, his innermost vocals? 
I mean, who needs the Beatles when you've got these two tracks, right? "Arrow Through Me" sounds like a funky love letter to himself, and "Live and Let Die" is like the ultimate James Bond theme song ( minus the explosions). This doc is gonna be a wild ride – I hope they have some behind-the-scenes footage of Paul's mid-Seventies hair – that's gotta be worth the price of admission! 
!!! i need to get my hands on them ASAP! the alternate mix of "arrow through me" is giving me all the feels 
and that live "rockshow" version of "live and let die" is straight fire 
i mean, who wouldn't want to hear paul mccartney perform his iconic songs in a whole new way? 
and the fact that they're featuring on a docu about paul's life is just too much for me 
i'm literally counting down the days till the album drops on Feb 27 
anyway i'm hyped they're droppin these tracks on the documentary soundtrack, been feelin like im stuck in a time warp listenin to old wings songs, this is gonna bring it back to life 
live "rockshow" version of "live and let die" sounds insane can't wait to give it a spin 
What if these tracks were recorded during a secret recording session that got leaked somehow? Or what if they're actually older than everyone thinks? 
I'm not saying it's all conspiracy, but... have you noticed how this documentary is coming out around the same time as the Paul McCartney estate is getting more merchandising deals? 
It just seems suspiciously convenient.
