Despite our collective dislike, surprise, surprise it is now offically Top of the Pops, and american Billie Eilish has become the first female artist to score a UK number one with a James Bond theme. Billie's brother Finneas O'Connell co-wrote the song, and Daniel Craig has given it the thumbs up!. This must be true cos its in the papers - MailOn Sunday!
Regarding Mr Bond - in the first couple of books written by Ian Fleming there is a lot of material describing Bond and his world (albeit a fiction, but enjoyable). Bond is aged about 38, is tall dark haired, with an unruly, curly lock in front. He smokes, drinks, treats women badly (by today's standards) but they fall at his feet as soon as he lights one of his expensive gaspers (made in turkey). Bond knows he has only a few more years and missions ahead of him, but he accepts his almost certain death in a few years time, because what means most to him is his membership of the elite 00 section. He treasures his housekeeper, and worships his boss - "M".
But fast forward 70 years and he needs to be given a makeover, so he can stlll make money for whoever holds the rights to churn out the flics. I am not sure why they made him a short fair-haired, bandy little geezer - is that what appeals to women today? No disrespect to Daniel Craig, who given a decent script and director, can turn in a decent performance IMHO.
On a positive note i have managed to work out the final chord. I think it is:-
6th string - open
5th string - 2nd fret
4th string - 4th fret
3rd string - 2nd fret
2nd string - 4th fret
1st string - open
Is it an E minor 13th aug flatened 4th twice removed??? Technical stuff like that i leave to proper musicians.
I'll get me coat
Kindest regards
