You're listening to Acoustic Avenue. This is Ted Crow. For the next hour on today's program co-produced with Joe Little and Calgary Alberta. On Acoustic Avenue, we recognize with respect and gratitude that in the shoes water, the land on which we live, work, and play our music is the unceded traditional territory of the Sequenic people. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional territories of the Blackfoot, the Confederacy, the Sixika, the Kainai, the Pekini, the Soutina, the Layash, and Okoda Nations, the Metis Nation Region 3, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

That's not a comment on Madonna, Garbage is the name of a band. Now, if you've been with us these last couple of episodes, you know the answer. If you've just joined us today, the answer is that's a list of the performers and composer conductors that have lent their talents and passions to the musical universe of the James Bond movies. So we continue today with our third and final episode where we celebrate the music of the Bond franchise. And we'll start again today where any show on the music of Bond must start. Here is David Arnold with his version of the Bond theme. The names of the Bond, James Bond. The song is a fusion of 1980s Electro, New Wave, and Synthob with 1990s Techno, known as Electro Clash. Die Another Day is a mixture of strings and interpolating electronic swirls, and started editing on Madonna's voice, cutting the main signal on the chorus. We will end this first set with Whitehead Kobe Dawn from the 1967 film You Only Live Twice. The soundtrack was the fourth of the series to be composed by John Berry as he tried to incorporate the elegance of the oriental sound with Japanese music-inspired tracks. This is Die Another Day with Madonna and John Berry and the Orchestra playing the fight at Kobe the Dock.
SPEAKER_02Yes and no, I'm gonna kiss some part of I'm gonna keep this secret, I'm gonna close my body. I'm gonna destroy my ego, I'm gonna close my body now.
SPEAKER_10It's not my turn, I'll have to pay the bank, I've got to play.
SPEAKER_02It's not my time to go. I'm gonna go for the clean state, I'm gonna suspend my senses, I'm gonna be bad my job, I've gonna count my body.
SPEAKER_00You know my name. It is the theme song of the 2006 film Casino Royale, performed by musician Chris Cornell, who wrote and produced it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack's composer. The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer to reflect the dramatic new direction of the James Bond character to be played by Daniel Craig. Influenced by earlier theme songs by Tom Jones and Paul McCartney, Cornell said he wanted to write a song in its own universe. He knew he'd never have the chance again to work with a big orchestra. So he wanted to have fun with it. And we end this said with Alicia Keys and Jack White singing Another Way to Die for the 2008 film Quantum of Solace. This was the first ever duet in Bond soundtrack history. Here is Carly Simon and Chris Cornell, Alicia Keys and Jack White.
SPEAKER_06Makes me feel sad for the rest. Keeping all my secrets safe to love.
SPEAKER_09It keeps me from running. Just keep it coming. How just let it do the things you do? Nobody does.
SPEAKER_01When the storm arrives, would you be still?
SPEAKER_09I must say, you know, we must.
SPEAKER_01When you return tonight. If you think you won, you never saw me today.
SPEAKER_09The game that will win I've seen the time.
SPEAKER_12Another thing with the sleep trigger finger for her majesty.
SPEAKER_11Another one with the golden tongue poison in your fantasy.
SPEAKER_12Another bill from a killer town, a thriller to a trinity. Yeah, I saw another open.
SPEAKER_09A woman walking by, a job in the water, a look in the eye, a bowl on the table, a man on your side, or someone that you think that you can trust. You just I'm not the way to die.
SPEAKER_12I'm on the tricky little gone here, but solid stuff the one I'll never see the sunshine.
SPEAKER_11Another inch of your life sacrifice for your brother in an inner time. Another dirty money heaven sent on eternal time. Well left open. A woman walking by. Another gun, calm down and surrender to who ain't me. Another man's father looking into me. I'm walking walking back.
SPEAKER_09I look in the eye.
SPEAKER_00The music of the James Bond Universe. This is a three-song set leading off with For Your Eyes Only, written by Bill Conte, who retained some John Berry influenced brass elements in the score, but also added elements of dance and funk music. The title song for this 1981 film was co-written with Michael Leeson and performed by Shane Easton, who was the first title song artist to appear on screen in the Bond film. Following that is the song Bond Low Discoveronte, composed by John Berry for the film Thunderbolt. In the movie The Discoveronte is a fictional hydrofoil craft, owned by actor villain Emilio Largo, and used to transport stolen atomic nuclear warhead. And we ended with licensed killing released in 1989 in the 16th film in the James Bond series. Initially, Lick, who had played lead guitar on Monty Norman's original 007 theme, and Eric Clapton were asked to write and perform the theme song to this movie. As we noted in the previous episode, many apply, but only one is fortunate enough to be selected. For this film, the Gladys Knight song was chosen, which led to her first British top ten hit in twelve years. This is For Your Eyes Only the Bond below Disco Vellante and License to Kill.
SPEAKER_07You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new I never felt till I looked at you All the Bye to see what no one else can see.
SPEAKER_09No one I can see by the boy feeding me to see you feeling me to meet sounds never go.
SPEAKER_07That's all I need to know Maybe I'm an open book because I know your mind But you want me to read between the lives on your book On the Bay You'll see what no one else can see Now I'll take it three but I don't see Oh my god The passions that call me What the banner said to me Only by you know, I'm gonna go to the Amazon.
SPEAKER_05But you were the ones who tried to run away.
SPEAKER_09Was another one who baby to bed to let me get a little bit of a little bit of a bit of back to five.
SPEAKER_04Now you can depend on me.
SPEAKER_00Thank you to the songwriters and musicians who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and I hope you enjoyed the love and ultimate joy they share when recording their music for your listening pleasure. Writings on the Wall by English singer Sam Smith was written for the release of the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. One reviewer from the United Kingdom called the song a monster bond ballad, stating the song is very, very slow and unsurprisingly restrained, at times floating by on resonant piano notes with the faintest brush stroke of orchestra, with all the focus on Smith's intense, tremulous vocal, rising with control to pay his attention to an audacious chorus payoff, typical Bond style. We follow that with the look of love, which appeared in the 1967 film Casino Royale. Canadian actor and comedian Mike Myers said hearing the look of love on the radio led him to reminiscing about the nineteen sixties, which helped inspire the movie Austin Powered International Man of Mystery. The purpose of the soundtrack of any movie is to help tell the story on the screen by amplifying the various moods of the scenes within the movie. For our last selection today, we're not a track that, in essence, paint an entire blonde film within one piece of music. From the tomorrow never dies soundtrack, here is David Arnold all in a day's work. As you listen, see if you can pick out the chase and the fight. Another clever thing. Eliminating the bad guy, getting rid of the bomb, rescuing the girl in the neck of time, and thus saving the world. And in the midst of the chaos and destruction, take the girl in his arms and float usually off into the distance. We hope you had fun with this series. We sure did. Here is Sam Smith Sergio Mendez in Brazil 66 and David Arnold and his orchestra.
SPEAKER_03I've been here before, but always feel the flaw. I've spent a lifetime running, and I always get away that with you I'm feeling something that makes me unscared, unprepared for this. I never shoot to live, but I feel like a storm is coming. If I'm gonna make it through the time, then there's no more use in running.
SPEAKER_09This is something I gotta find if I lift up Could you break out of life? How do I love? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating and what I feel love runs in my blood. Tell me it's this for a give it a love for you. I have to risk it up 'cause the right things are no eyes a million stars applies that hard me from I pass as the stars begin to gather and the light begins to fade when the home begins to shatter.
SPEAKER_03Know that I will be a fight.
SPEAKER_09How do I breathe? I am not here, I'm suffocating. I want to feel love for some other love. Tell me, is this for a give it a lot? For you I have to risk it up. How's the writings on the right? How do I breathe? When you're not here, I'm suffocating. I wanna feel love, as a mother life. Tell me is this work, give it a love. How do I love? How do I breathe? When you're not here, I'm suffocated. I wanna feel love with a mother life. Tell me if this work, give it a love.
