Indeed, that is the other one that comes to my mind.
Romantic is debatable. Sexual...yes
Seriously, either 'We Have All The Time In The World' or Matt Monro's version of FRWL. I could imagine the latter playing in the background while I dine with a lady.
Yes, FRWL is a great mood setter.
Ah true, but if you listen to it thinking love it's very romantic; If you think sex then it's very sexual; you might call it a Bond theme Rorschach test. ;)
Oh, and Robbie: Sex does not equal romance.
So THAT'S where I've being going wrong
:))
I will agree to that. I'm only 14 and I hate the ones that are romantic. Skyfall one of my favorite. But yes I agree with you
Moonraker it is then.
Besides, aside from the gold hungry simpleton bit, it is a beautifully haunting song. Plus, when successful in love, you can then switch to Bassey's end credits disco-version \:D/
I quite like the arrangement of MR of David Arnold's Shaken and Stirred compilation. Unfortunately, the singer's performance wrecks it. She pushes it too much like it's a song in an animated Disney film from the 90s. Which is the case of a lot of the songs on that album, some good bits and ideas but overdone...

We have all the Time in the World
I think all of them are great: Nobody Does it Better, Moonraker, FYEO, and All Time High. All really beautiful songs.
If I had to pick one, I'd go with Moonraker. I think it's even a bit underappreciated as Bond theme song. John Barry's swirling strings takes you into space and wraps you up with endearing feelings. I love the theme of the lyrics too: the idea that somewhere out there in the grand universe is your one true love. My favorite part of the song musically is when Shirley Bassey belts out these high notes: "Felt your touch and it always seems, You love me, You love me". Simply gorgeous.
I think perhaps as a Bond theme it's not as memorable, because it doesn't have a big chorus the way other ones do, and also the song lyrics don't really relate to the story of the film the way other Bond themes do. But nonetheless, it's one of my favorite themes and always gives me chills.
Yes, Bassey, Turner and Adele are more epic, but not romantic IMHO...
