Here's an interesting article for the Bond theme competition entrants:


isnt it funny when things get analysed like that ....it sort of makes everything a science
i think art & science should be enemies.....i read that & thought oh dear i havent ticked most of those boxes but then i thought hold on its about instinct & expression & freedom ...so maybe im not going to win
anyway ive nearly finished mine maybe i better slow down a bit :)
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

It is indeed about instinct and expression.  It's not about winning for me. It's more a chance to test my writing ability and enjoy what is turning out to be a great, fun project.  I'll write other Bond songs and I'll keep this in mind next time.  I'll probably write something that is completely different to my recent attempt.  My Bond song was written before I read this article but it does make for interesting reading!  :)

Working on something too, got the lyrics, most of the song structure and the first few recordings done, but unless I have a VERY creative weekend I'm gonna need another week...

I'm a sucker for the comps Tina, but I'm moving house at the end of NOV. AND... previous engagement... trying to put something together for the PAWPRINT thing.    :o

Things into boxes. Priorities!  :o

New place will have a empty garage which will allow me build sound proofed  place to actually play instruments properly and sing at "rock" volume. Even....hopefully..... allow some proper collaborations with you chaps here on the forum and allow some time to properly review.

But I'm going to have to put he JB comp on" the if I have time" pile.

Come the new year, If you're looking for a rock vocalist........   ;)
I have no authority or standing here, only opinions. :-)

Great idea.  I love bond themes so I will get going on an idea I have. In about 1000miles from my guitar which is a minor hurdle but this gives me a great reason to do a song!

I'd like to but it may have to be a simple acoustic version, I already have the song written. I'm not sure I can find the time to book an orchestra  ;)  Seriously though, production and the time to do it are the issues.

Count me in, but in a simplistic way :)
