I remember this playing on the radio in the mid 1970's as my parents would drive us to the beach every Sunday afternoon. I can still hear the start of the song crackle to life, the smell of seasalt, the view of beautiful blue water and the pure enjoyment of just knowing I was going to be playing in the surf and sand...Man i wish that would come back!!!

My favourite cousin died a few years ago. I went to visit her when she was on her deathbed and she told me "Did you know that every time I hear Band on the Run, I think of you?" She remembered, as clearly as I did, our amazing summers together, having fun, no responsibilities, swimming, hiking in the woods (to go smoke secretly), riding our bikes... And now that she is gone, well, each time I hear it I think of her. I miss you Julie. Thank you Paul for somehow cristallizing a magical period of my life in a song.

My favorite part of the song

I started my over the road truck driving career as a professional truck driver in November 17th 1989. Out of all the songs that I listened to throughout my 32 years of driving coast to coast and Canadian provinces. This song has always been a constant on the radio as a companion to me either all day or all night. And when my driving days are finally over and I have left this world. This beautiful song will still be out there somewhere on a radio station out on the highway. 😌🚛🇺🇸

The first, calmer part of the song leading into the second act is SOOO good. I wish the first two parts were it's own song and the third part of "Band on the run" was it's own self-titled song.

Stuck inside these four walls Sent inside forever Never seeing no one Nice again Like you, Mama You, Mama You If I ever get out of here Thought of giving it all away To a registered charity All I need is a pint a day If I ever get outta here (If we ever get outta here) Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun And the first one said to the second one there "I hope you're having fun" Band on the run, band on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching everyone For the band on the run, band on the run For the band on the run, band on the run Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh Seeing no one else had come And a bell was ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run Band on the run, band on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching everyone For the band on the run, band on the run Yeah, the band on the run The band on the run Band on the run Band on the run Well, the night was falling as the desert world Began to settle down In the town they're searching for us everywhere But we never will be found Band on the run, band on the run And the county judge who held a grudge Will search forever more For the band on the run, the band on the run Band on the run (Yeah) The band on the run (Yeah) Source: Musixmatch

This is one of the absolutely greatest songs of all time, it never gets old - timeless. I was only 5 years old when this album was released so I do not remember exactly when, but the first several times I heard this song was on AM radio. I didn't know who sang the song but I knew it was special. It did not sound like any other song, it was mesmerizing.

One of my favorite songs from my childhood. I was 9 years old when this album came out. I was lucky enough to have an older sister who turned me on to the music that I listen and love now. Thanks Kathy.

The Bass on this is what gets me. Doesn't really kick in until half way through but carries the song beautiful

@douglasskaalrud6865

I think he got it just right. The first third of the song is subdued-almost melancholy and his soft, almost sparse bass line reflects that. The middle third is harder, a little more intense and his bass line takes a little harder edge. He lets the orchestra and guitar take the bridge into the last third unassisted and then he shifts into the more melodic bass line with the flow of the escape run. The song has three or four different tones and intensities and he supports each one ideally.

Wings was a great band.Rest in peace Linda McCartney.

I don't think this song got enough credit when it was released...I Love it 💞💕

I miss this kind of music making everyone happy.

RIP, Denny. You will always be much missed.

In my home town in the 70's located in Maine I was a part odf the Northern Knights Drum & Buggle Corp. Often when we took trips to Canada we would play this song on the bus. The older musicians would bring their guitars and they would play Band On The Run while the rest of us on the bus would sing the lyrics. We had a great time playing this song on our trips to participate in parades..

Remember being a kid hearing this in guitar hero, brought tears to my eyes at 24.

Of all of the great iconic evocative classic songs from the 70’s nothing hits me in the gut, makes me nostalgic and gives me that visceral memory sensation like this song. It holds a very special place in my heart. This song came out when I was 9. Sweet memories. Thank you Sir Paul & Wings.

this was probably my favorite song as a child. whenever it came on the radio I just loved it. but grew even more fond of it as I got older. played it a ton on guitar hero and now I play it pretty regularly in discord. just the absolute best, so layered and just oh so good

Paul is such a rocker. Love it.

One of the best songs of all time 💯

This is magic, just wow, just a sick mix of everything, major Ear Candy!! Those breaks with the double tom beat mixed in with some funky bass , not to mention just amazing vocals, awesome sauce!

Your could hear this song coming out of all the transistor radios on the beach in Chatham, MA during the summer of 1974. Those were great days!

Saw McCartney and the Wings in Vienna in the 70s; the European part of the tour was called "Wings over Europe"

Who remembers the little cardboard box record players? Got one for Christmas in '74-ish with this on 45. Damn I love McCartney and Wings.

When he said “to a registered charity” that line resonated with me

The simple minimoog line makes the middle part. Awesome song!
