Finally!
I've stopped tinkering. The uploads are up and going. It's almost as if someone, some mysterious person or persons unknown stooped a villianous plan to keep the James Bond tunes in the dark. Are Simon and Miguel REALLY Sean Connery working behind the scenes to save the day?
The world may never know...
As fort he tune, I had fun with it. As far as I can tell, there are only about three Bond themes that have been sung my men - McCartney, Duran Duran and Aha. I'm not completely up to snuff on my Bond stuff so there may be more. Anyway, it was kind of a cvhallenge coming up with lyrics that, well, um, didn't sound strange being sung by a guy, but I think I did. I'm not a huge James Bond fan. I've seen al the Connery and Moore movies and the new one. But I've always been interested in the darker side of Bond, kind of touched on in the new ones. I mean, come on, he's a pretty messed up dude.
Anyway, it was neat working on this. Musically, it was fun skirting around copyrighted riffs and such. Plus, it's got a lot of time signature changes in it, which I've never really done before.
So, sit back with your vodka martini (shaken, not stirred) and your favorite euphamistically named lady and enjoy.

Lyrics
Never Say Goodbye
(2nd lyrics)
©2009 Joseph Gurner
You never say goodbye
when you’re needed
Always ready
to be a hero
Just a man
on his own
with the world
on his shoulder
Never let go
Never give in
Queen and country
Always work to be done
Never look back
Never fall
Never feel
the weight of it all
When all is lost you
Never say goodbye
Just a man
with no fear on his face
Feel him stare
with mirrors in his eyes
Moving on
to all his tomorrows
and putting yesterday
aside
Never give up
Never fall
Never feel
the weight of it all
When all is lost you
Never say goodbye
Just a man
alone in the darkness
Just a man
who’s giving it his all
Lonliness
follows like a shadow
never quinched by
desire
Never look back
Never fall
Never feel
the weight of it all
When all is lost you
Never say goodbye
You never say goodbye
when you’re needed
Always ready
to be a hero
Never give up
Never fall
Never feel
the weight of it all
When all is lost you
Never say goodbye

Love the song Art... Absolutely great!!!
Wow... The piano and vocals are stunningly great! Awesome job! Love the lyrics!
I also love how in the middle where it reads "Never let go" you took on a up/down sort of secret agent feel to it... Very cool.
Excellent work Joseph! Excellent!
