  • "Band on the Run" is a song by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released as the title track to their 1973 album Band on the Run. The song was released as a single in April 1974 in the US and in June 1974 in the UK, following the success of "Jet", and became an international chart success. The song topped the charts in the United States, also reaching number 3 in the United Kingdom. The single sold over one million copies in 1974 in America. It has since become one of the band's most famous songs. A medley of three distinct musical passages that vary in style from folk rock to funk, "Band on the Run" is one of McCartney's longest singles at 5:09. The song was partly inspired by a comment that George Harrison had made during a meeting of the Beatles' Apple record label. The song-wide theme is one of freedom and escape, and its creation coincided with Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr having parted with manager Allen Klein in March 1973, leading to improved relations between McCartney and his fellow ex-Beatles. The original demos for this and other tracks on Band on the Run were stolen shortly after Wings arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, to begin recording the album. With the band reduced to a trio consisting of McCartney, his wife Linda, and Denny Laine, "Band on the Run" was recorded at EMI's Lagos studio and completed at AIR Studios in London. (en)

La chanson est sortie en single en avril 1974 aux États-Unis et en juin 1974 au Royaume-Uni, à la suite du succès de Jet, et est devenue un succès international. La chanson a dominé les charts aux États-Unis, atteignant également la troisième place Royaume-Uni. Le single s'est vendu à plus d'un million d'exemplaires en 1974 en Amérique. Il est depuis devenu l'une des chansons les plus célèbres du groupe. Mélange de trois passages musicaux distincts, aux styles musicaux variés, Band on the Run est l'un des plus longs singles écrit par Paul McCartney. La chanson évoque les thèmes de la liberté et de l'évasion. Sa création a coïncidé avec la séparation des membres de son ancien groupe les Beatles avec le manager Allen Klein en mars 1973, conduisant à une amélioration des relations entre les quatre musiciens. Les démos originales de ce morceau et d'autres de Band on the Run ont été volées peu de temps après l'arrivée de Wings à Lagos, au Nigeria, pour commencer l'enregistrement de l'album. Avec le groupe réduit à un trio composé de Paul McCartney, sa femme Linda et Denny Laine, Band on the Run a été enregistrée au studio EMI à Lagos et terminé aux AIR Studios à Londres. (fr)

  • Band on the Run is een hitsingle van Wings. Deze single was afkomstig van het gelijknamige album. Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five was de tweede track op de single. Band on the Run is een suite die bestaat uit drie delen. Het nummer begint sober met een slidegitaar en synthesizers, waarin McCartney zingt over het lot als gevangene. Na 1:20 min gaat dit over naar een sneller stuk waarin de zinsnede If we ever get out of here centraal staat. Later gaf McCartney aan dat die zinsnede afkomstig is van een opmerking van George Harrison tijdens een vergadering van de Beatles met Apple Records. Het derde en laatste deel begint na 2:05 min. De muziek explodeert en wordt overgenomen door akoestische gitaren, die de ontsnapping en bevrijding moeten voorstellen. (nl)

  • It was symbolic: "If we ever get out of here … All I need is a pint a day" … [In the Beatles] we'd started off as just kids really, who loved our music and wanted to earn a bob or two so we could get a guitar and get a nice car. It was very simple ambitions at first. But then, you know, as it went on it became business meetings and all of that … So there was a feeling of "if we ever get out of here", yeah. And I did. (en)
