Posted on Instagram by the song's co-writer/co-producer:
It's been confirmed that Zimmer and Eilish worked together on the song.
Much like Fleming's Bond then.
Ha!
But really, he was such a softy in the novels.
Are we sure it's not "Are you death or paradise"?
Fleming's Bond was notably more non-emotional than this. This is Craig wanting to show his range as an actor to make Bond suffer and cry.
He was strongly affected by some of his relationships with women.
I should have known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed
Is just the blood you own
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life,
but life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else?
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
I let it burn
You're no longer my concern
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
No time to die
No, no time to die
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
Skyfall is about as Bondian as it gets, musically.
I don't remember Bond crying in every other book. Bottom line is that we've seen Bond crying over Vesper and M's bodies. Do we really need to have another movie where Bond is heart broken over a woman? Shouldn't that have been covered by CR and, at worst, SF?
Not literally, no.
I personally like AWTD, but I agree that it's not a particularly Bondian sound. And yes, Skyfall does have some great orchestral points. But it seems that after AWTD, they seem to be intent on slowing down and depressing the themes, and I hope this is the low point.
Depends on the point of view. Is it Bond's or Madeleine's? Last song was Bond's, and before release I assumed it would be Madeleine's.
If indeed her's then she's very much an important part of this movie more than many suspected.
Apple Music has it down as “How you dare the paradise”.
Got this already, page 4.
Probably the end of March.
It is better than I was expecting and miles better than the last one, even though it's quite similar in mood. Lyrics are one of the best for a Bond song.
Definitely made me think about Kleinman's titles and what they'll be like. Very intrigued.
+1 you saved me some typing; I definitely wanted it to kick into a higher gear .
