If you have been a reader of my blog for a while, you will know that I go through quite a number of obsessions. Sometimes they're songs, while other times they are people or groups (ahem One Direction: still going strong!). Well, right now I have a new obsession with an old song.
"Nobody Does It Better," the theme for The Spy Who Loved Me, performed by Carly Simon.
I have probably heard this song around fifty times in my nineteen years of living. "Why is she so obsessed with it now?" Well I am glad you asked.
The song is phenomenal if you have not heard it - if you haven't heard it that means you didn't watch the video I so kindly provided above. Typically when you hear someone talking about a James Bond song, you think of a song like "Goldfinger" - something a little more on the jazzy side. While the song may not sound like the other Bond songs, it still did something that most 007 songs do: the writers, Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer, incorporated the title of the movie in the song.
I love the pace of the song, as well as the lyrics. "I wasn't looking but somehow you found me / I tried to hide from your love light / But like Heaven above me / The spy who loved me / Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight." Nothing says "James Bond" better than using "spy" and "secrets" in the song.
