"The economics of it have always been really hard," Eddie Schwartz says.

"It’s always been a nickel-and-dime business. Royalties come in dribs and drabs. But if you can put them all together, you can have a middle-class living, which was amazing to me, that I could actually support myself, not lavishly but comfortably as a songwriter, at that time. It’s so much harder now with streams; it can be pizza money. But there’s a lot to be said in terms of the freedom you have as an artist.

"You don’t have a label necessarily dictating what you should be writing, and you’re not looking for that one single that’s going to break you on the radio. But it’s still very hard to support yourself and to sustain yourself as a music creator these days, and that’s a shame, because people are still making a lot of money from the music that we create as songwriters and artists. We just don’t seem to be getting very much of it, and that’s problematic and not getting any better."

Wings was still in its infancy when Paul McCartney tapped them to perform “Live And Let Die.” He wrote the song and then brought in his bandmates for a live feel. This song also marked the first time in a long time that McCartney and George Martin had worked together. The latter handled the orchestral moments.

“It was a joy,” McCartney said of working with Martin again. “I showed him the chords and how the song was structured, and the central riff.”

For the lyrics, McCartney used the film’s title as a jumping-off point. With the title being a play on the popular phrase “live and let live,” McCartney saw his song as about a loss of innocence.

“I thought, ’Live and let die – okay, really what they mean is live and let live, and there’s the switch,” McCartney once said. “So I just thought, ‘When you were younger you used to say that, but now you say this.’”
