Blue Sway was an unused track from Paul McCartney's 1981 McCartney II album.
During the sessions for the album McCartney II, Paul McCartney recorded the song Blue Sway. While it didn't make the cut onto the 1981 album, it will be included on the bonus disc for the upcoming expanded version of the album.
Award winning surf filmmaker Jack McCoy originally put together a surf video using music from Paul McCartney's side group, The Fireman, and had a copy presented to the singer. Paul was so impressed that he went back to McCoy to suggest he do a similar film using the unreleased track Blue Sway from the McCartney II sessions.
McCoy put together the new video over a six week period while simultaneously working on a full-length surf documentary called A Deeper Shade of Blue. Upon seeing the completed video, McCartney said "I was blown away."
The video went on to win Best Music Video at NYC BE FILM Short Festival this past May, and the video will be featured as part of Surfrider Foundation's summer PSA campaign. It is also included on the DVD in the Deluxe Edition of McCartney II.
