THE NAME IS BOND, JAMES BOND!

Hello everyone!!!

Today I'm going to write a post about music and cinema.

I was watching a 007 movie yesterday night, "Casino Royale" and I remembered that in less than 2 weeks the new one, "Skyfall" , will be released.
I'm not a huge fan of 007 movies, I've seen some of them but I wouldn't say I'm an expert. However, I do love the soundtracks of these movies, in particular the theme songs.
So I've decided to make a list of those songs I like the most, hoping that you'll suggest me those that I forgot.

Ok then, let's start!!!
I'm sure that if you think of 007, this is the first song that pops into your mind:


"Goldfinger" , performed by Shirley Bassey for the 1964 movie.
She performed also "Diamonds are forever" and "Moonraker", for the 1971 and 1979 movies.

One of my favourite is "You only live twice" , performed by Nancy Sinatra for the 1967 movie. I find it very classy!


Another interesting song is "Live and let die" , performed by Paul McCartney &Wings for the 1973 movie. I think it has a very powerful music that stays in your mind for a long time!


"Nobody does it better" , performed by Carly Simon for the 1977 movie, "The Spy who Loved me". An amazingly sweet song and a great artist. Love it!

 

Among the other Bond songs there are "Die another day" (Madonna, 2002), "A view to a kill" (Duran Duran, 1985), "Golden Eye" (Tina Turner, 1995), "For your eyes only" (Sheena Easton, 1981).

Recently the new 007 song, "Skyfall" has been released. It's performed by Adele and it will be the opening theme for the new movie, "Skyfall".
I like this song and I love Adele's voice,I think it's a perfect mix!

 
 Finally, I think everyone agrees that THE James Bond theme can't be anything else but this:


So what do you think?Which one of these songs you like the most?Do you like James Bond movies at all?
I'm curious to know what you think!!

Thank you for listening and stay tuned!
