Just like to point out that this song was NEVER considered. The record company just claim it was rejected for publicity. ocwolf will block anyone who attempts to put the record straight and will also delete their comments. Please STOP THIS RUMOUR!
I've been trying to Google this question of mine, but without any luck; is it know how much the singer/singers get paid for performing a Bond theme song in a Bond movie? Is it more if the singer also writes the song, and if so - how much more ?
@MrTigurinn Obviously if the performer is also the compositor of the song, s/he would have less people to share the money with. Otherwise, most of the money goes to the label/record company and the lawyers; the artist (unless it's a mega-star) gets fame and peanuts.
@ylaviv Thanks for replying - I remember a video with Simon Cowell stating that the record company would get a lot of money on Susan Boyle, but she would never the less get a handsome sum. And I've always wondered why the record label gets the most money, and always interested in the sums involved. Guess that if the artist who were to sing the theme tune was independent could negotiate the sum
@MrTigurinn Depends on many factors. an independent artist would probably get much more money but then again who's going to take care of distribution and commercial publicizing? these neither come easy nor cheap.
Brilliant contribution! :) With the best rejected Bond song ever. Another way to die is a fair rock piece, but lack the sound of Bond. Just as Die another day and even Tomorrow never dies to some extent. But Sherryl Crowe added some very good vocals to her song at least. So Mr. Wolf.. change the lyrics a bit to the next movie and let Mr. Arnold add some bars to it and it will be the most perfect Bond theme for ages! And the song could be immersed in the rest of the soundtrack as well...
@Wowmusicable This song was presented to the producers of Quantum of Solace some years ago. It was turned down. Many times in show business, a song performed by a famous artist sells much better, no matter what the quality of the song is like. That's reality.
In my precedent comment, I was so stunned by the song, I forgot to mention the astonishing quality and the dynamic creativity of the video. In fact, I prefer this instead of the mix with the presentation of the movie. Good show ylaviv!
Ha ha, now you're talking. Yet on a more serious note, Wolf and Almer do deserve your praise for their talent as much as for their hard work behind the scenes. Show Business does not always shine on the righteous and modest, which is a great pity. Nevertheless, people like you can make it happen.
I'm trying to convince Wolf, the talented man behind the music, to produce more Bond themes... and believe me, he can create some amazing melodies. There are some bits, pieces and ideas... who knows.
I love this song! One of the biggest mistakes in the Bond series was not to chose this as the title song. It would easily have been the best since Goldeneye
Wow, this is amazing. You are truly talented, i woul've thought this was an offical opening from a film. And it's a shame the song was rejected. Brilliant, mate!
@mrfrisk007 My educated guess is that Alicia Keys and Jack White were supposedly more of a draw. I don't understand how a movie franchise that prides itself in introducing relatively unknown actors, can''t carry that over to the title song. Not that "Another Way To Die" is a bad theme, but passing over "Forever" was a definite mistake.
I have been a Bond fan for a very long time now and is all I can say about this song is that it is the best Bond song since Goldeneye in my book. EON productions were crazy to reject this wonderfull piece of music. They don't know gold when they see it? Christ!
Eva, you sound like you should already have been on a dozen James Bond sountracks. Although I know you have even greater potential than that! Very nice..
@nilspal Thank you so much Nilspal! What an honour to get such a wonderful feedback. I hope I get to sing for you many more times. In January my new website evaalmer.com will be up and running and there you will find more of my material. Please visit me there early next year! /Eva Almér
Dear Eva Almer, is all I can say is this: You are simply wonderfull - punto e basta! I cannot stop playing this golden piece of music and whoever wrote the music and lyrics are equaly wonderfull. I am 41 years old and know what I like in life. In my book there are three great Bond songs which one could never tire of listening to. These are: Goldfinger, Thunderball, You only live twice, Octopussy, Goldeneye and Forever I am yours. Harry Fawkes.
I used Photoshop for the graphics and manipulated them in Sony Vegas; however, the tools are not so important because there are no simple tricks and effects or any other shortcut to achieve this. It's a great deal of slow and fine work with much experimenting. We're talking 100s of hours over 2-3 months time.
