I (Shirley Manson) U. Este video marco mi infancia!
We know when to kiss and we know when to kill. If we can't have it all, then nobody will...
They're back.
From 1999, here's the first Bond theme I ever heard. Suitable enough, given it sounds exactly -- exactly -- like a Bond theme. Garbage's Shirley Manson affects a Bassey register and reminds me of a drag queen by the ferocity of her theatrics, and because she seems to be imitating something she's not: a lush, fire-eating balladress, done up for potency like one Veronica Lake-shaped firework or else slinking around, eyebrows arched, as if to foreshadow the Britney Spears awaiting us at the turn of the century. It's not post-modern but was a big hit for Garbage. Music critics called it the best Bond theme in eons. Musically, it aligns with "Tomorrow Never Dies," "Die Another Day," "Casino Royale," and "Quantum of Solace" -- all scored by David Arnold. The lyrics -- "There's no point in living if you can't feel alive" -- are Don Black's, along with Bond lyrics "Diamonds never lie to me/Hold one up and then caress it" and "His eye may be on you or me./Who will he bang?/We shall see."
