I asked my dad to bring me an album on his way back from Greece in 1973. This was the album he brought me.

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!!!

The older I get the more I respect Paul and realize what a fantastic genius he is.

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.

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. 😌🚛🇺🇸

Paul McCartney remains one of, if not the single greatest performer of the 20th and 21st Centuries. If not of all time. And a heckuva' great person. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times over the years and you couldn't ask for a nicer, jovial, friendly, and more personable individual. Paul's artistic contributions has made this planet a far more beautiful place with him in it. Just glad to have known him in my lifetime. ❤ 😊 Luv ya' Paul!

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.

Macartney is the greatest popular song writer ever, EVER, and his songs never got negative, always uplifting

When l hear this song takes me back to spring 1974 and this actually 50 years old wow how time flies.

[taylorfriberg]

I wish the intro was a full song. I repeat it over and over.. gets me emotional for some reason..

[jamesalan]

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.

Sweet-Awesome-Excellent-Song / Love This One!

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)

This song gets better every second it progresses.

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..
