First post. Always thought that Arcadia's "Goodbye Is Forever" would have been a really great Bond theme...as well as a Bond title. Could have been perfect between AVTAK and TLD as Dalton's introduction to the series.
Please no! I agree, she should stay away from Bond music, not a fan at all! So wrong for Bond.

Such a shame no Bond films got made when Mode was at the top of their game.

Sorry I just got notice of this
Depeche Mode started out in about 1981 and to the best of my knowledge are still active, were probably at their height between 1984-90 and had some significant chart success, they could feasibly have done the theme to maybe A View To A Kill or Daylights but License to Kill would seem inappropriate for a synth-pop group, trouble is nobody bothered to get in touch maybe, it just might have worked. Lead singer Dave Gahan has had a few personal issues over the years that may have worked against them in order to get a Bond effort done but it still could have been plausibly completed
Also check out a band called Echo and The Bunnymen, no longer active as I understand, but for a new Bond theme idea they had some classic tunes such as 'The Killing Moon' that I thought would fit in nicely with a Bond picture, sounded more Craig tenure than anyone else, it did sound kind of appropriate actually
Personally, I'd love it. Great moods in that song, masterful guitar; even just parts of it could throb throughout the film at the right moments ... hmmm . Just my opinion. Won't happen, but I'd like it.
This would be great
Thats the first time i have heard the song! Classic! I remember seeing Cooper in an interview saying that they written the song as if it was designed for a car chase! Certainly does that apart from the spooky section of the song. Thanks for posting on here though!

It blew my mind away. It definately has that "Bond-mood" around it, and don't get me started on Elvis' voice...
or this one (for more feeling)
would be my picks if I was the exec. considering both of these already sound like Bond-theme songs :D
Goldfrapp was for many years on my personal list for Bond-song but I think their momentum is gone, unfortunatly. Haven't been hearing much from them lately.
Great song & voice for a Bond opening!
It even has the little section at the end of that transitions to the Bond films.
Lyrics has a reference to Agent Provocateur! ;)
So true. I loved Alice since I was a kid and loved even more his little tributes to Bond. I'd have to guess he is a fan himself. Got to meet his daughter a few years back when she was engaged to a young musician with local Philly ties, I've known the kid's mother and late stepfather for forever.
