Songs for tomorrow: Tomorrow Never Dies

We've already had the Bond theme that never was, from Pulp. Well, here's the song that got chosen instead, from Sheryl Crow. No, it's not her usual fare, but this woman can really sing (witness her flawless live vocal in this TOTP performance). There are some lovely chord changes in here as well, within the constraints of the Bond franchise remit. Nice pastiche video too.

I sort of have a bit of a minor crush on Sheryl, truth be told. Is that okay? And at what age do you stop getting minor crushes?

  1. What about her views on toilet paper usage?

    3. A few years back, Ms Crow said toilet roll usage should be confined to 1 square of toilet roll per bathroom visit - 2 or 3 on "pesky occasions".

  2. I say never stop having minor crushes... they keep you young at heart. Unless you're on the receiving end of a creepy one, then not so much ;-)

    1. Reckon I'm safe there, no-one is going to have any kind of crush on me.

    2. Please don't be so hard on yourself - and after all, how would you know? - most crushes are secret! But not all... https://sundriedsparrows.blogspot.com/2012/08/its-not-all-about-money.html

    3. Not being hard! Have spent so much time in recent weeks (months!) looking at myself in Zoom/Teams/Skype calls - it has been quite sobering.

    4. Great post to read, by the way, C, but not really a crush - more a case of being slightly creepily and in appropriately pursued!
