Liner Notes

#bondtheme #chamberpop #random

Nick: I threw together a backing track to offer up, with a couple James Bond style chord progressions. Fortunately Roxy was up to challenge, and really brought the lyric and melody and vocals--even the high note. This was a great random collaboration!

@roxya: My first time writing something for a backing track. Was a great exercise for little old acoustic guitar playing me. Bit out of the comfort zone for sure.
Lyrics wise I had this idea about the heavenly bodies (sun, moon, stars etc.) floating around and wanted to write a song using as many of them as I can. I don't think I got that many but it did inspire this tale.

Lyrics

The moon is bright
Such a magical night
The stars, they shine
Oh its something divine

Your warm embrace
Filling all of space
Your loving gaze
has left me in a daze

Heavenly bodies
stuck in a solar storm
Heavenly bodies
falling like a meteor
Heavenly bodies
have lost their lonely form
Heavenly bodies
need I say more

My whole expanse
Locked in this dance
Like satellites
We're orbiting
Your ocean tides
Have drenched my skies
I’m hanging on
for dear life

There’s no pretence
Locked in this dance
Like satellites
We're orbiting
Your ocean tides
Have drenched my skies
When you smile
I can't deny

Heavenly bodies
stuck in a solar storm
Heavenly bodies
falling like a meteor
Heavenly bodies
have lost their lonely form
Heavenly bodies
need I say more

This is a terrific collaboration. The beautiful lyrics, rich and gorgeous harmonies are fantastic. Really enjoyed the instrumentation and definitely got a James Bond vibe.

“Need I say more”.

Lovely feel with those strings and the piano behind a wonderful vocal.
If you got the full orchestra coming in on that last verse, then it would be the next Bond theme song!
