So the song that I finally chose to work on with Don is a more recent song of mine. It's called 'The James Bond Song.' I wrote it after watching Casino Royale and was inspired by the thought that even though James Bond has a lifestyle envied by most guys.. ... maybe, just maybe, his life isn't all that its cut up to be. What if, and this is a big 'if,' one day, he finally decided that he wanted to settle down with someone he really loves? Can he? No.. coz' he's James Bond! He wouldn't be James Bond if he made that decision.. and we most likely wouldn't pay $10 to watch him get domestic with his wife. .. in any case, that story has already been done, ala 'Mr & Mrs Smith.' So James Bond is eternally 'trapped' in his jet-setting, stunt-dealing, card-playing, casanova lifestyle.. . We all eventually grow old, maybe start our own families and kids and if we're lucky.. even have grand-children. But not James Bond... 30 years later, he'll still be taking his Martini's shaken and not stirred and jumping off cliffs and dating beautiful, exotic women... hmm... well, maybe it isn't that bad to be James Bond after all.. .
