You Only Live Twice

About You Only Live Twice

"You Only Live Twice", performed by Nancy Sinatra, is the theme song to the 1967 James Bond film of the same name. The music was by veteran Bond film composer John Barry, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. The song is widely recognized for its striking opening bars, featuring a simple 2-bar theme in the high octaves of the violins and lush harmonies from French horns. It is considered by some to be among the best James Bond theme songs, and has become one of Nancy Sinatra's best known hits. Shortly after Barry's production, Sinatra's producer Lee Hazlewood released a more guitar-based single version. The song has been extensively covered by artists, from Coldplay to Soft Cell, Björk and Little Anthony & The Imperials to Shirley Bassey. Robbie Williams notably re-recorded the opening bars of the song for his hit "Millennium". more »

You only live twice
Oh, so it seems
One life for yourself
And one for your dreams

You drift through the years
And life seems stray
Till one dream appears
And love is its way

I'd love you to strangers
Ooh, beckon you on
Don't think of the danger
For a stranger is gone

This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
You only live twice

This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
You only live twice
You only live twice
