Title: You Ain't Gonna Die (South Coast Massive Bond Theme)
Post by: pompeyjazz on March 30, 2020, 06:46:45 PM: Hi to all of you out there in Songwriter land. I hope that you're all keeping as well as you can.

I forgot to post the South Coast Massive contribution to the album from @Binladeda (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=18620) @PaulyX (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21034) and myself so here it is

Step out of your Aston Martin
Shades are off, Eyes are smarting
Dry Martini on the rocks
Casablanca, International adventure

But you ain't gonna die
And I never know why
With your bullet proof vest
You just pass every test

Golden Eye has got his booty
Thunderball is tutti fruity
Secret service got their man
Traveled from Afghanistan

But you ain't gonna die
And I never know why
With your bullet proof vest
You just pass every test

Now he's got the girl
Time to let it all unfurl
Kick back and relax
Waiting for another task

But you ain't gonna die
And I never know why
With your bullet proof vest
You just pass every test

Twisted sounding - tripped out Bond theme.
Sounds great in the headphones.
Was expecting Bin to rip out a blistering solo after the No Time To Die passage.

Intoxicating ending.

Going to be a well varied album.

Good to see Bond beating Bolt - I knew I hadn't dreamed it.:D

Very cool playing and great choice of sounds. Tip top vocal from John too.

Brilliant layering of sounds and voices...brilliant work!

Post by: PaulyX on March 31, 2020, 10:06:10 PM: Well I had zero to do with this one apart from John playing me a demo of what he'd done with Bin's backing track, and me nodding in vigorous approval... so I think I'm OK to say I love it. Bin had a great eastern vibe going on already and John sculpted it really well and took it to another level. Loved Bin's choice of instruments in this (especially that big descending-drone noise that comes in the chorus) and John's use of echoes on the vocals.

Post by: Paulski on April 01, 2020, 02:01:46 AM: Yep I agree with the pack on this one - has a cool secret agent vibe going on.
Great focus on the hook and theme.
Nice to hear John's grab your attention voice and bin's groovy grooves.
And the lyrics are fun too.

Good stuff - worth the price of the album right here. :D

Post by: Jamie on April 04, 2020, 06:23:34 PM: Hi guys, another great collaboration from you guys, great layered sounds and tongue in cheek lyrics. Loved the eastern/asian motifs in there too, that always adds a sense of impending doom :o 8).

Great stuff guys
