Las mejores melodías aparecidas en la decimonovena aventura oficial de James Bond y el álbum que originaron

 Tras la aclamada banda sonora de El mañana nunca muere, el compositor David Arnold regresa en la siguiente aventura de 007. Trabajando conjuntamente con el letrista Don Black quien, junto a John Barry, había sido responsable de muchas de las canciones Bond clásicas.

Arnold detectó el talento de la banda de rock Garbage, un grupo cuyo debut había vendido 4 millones de copias y su segundo álbum se convirtió en álbum de oro en América. La banda internacional, situada en lo más avanzado del nuevo panorama mediático, contribuyó aportando un nuevo aspecto al legado de las canciones Bond. Después de todo, alguien con suficiente confianza para llamar a su grupo Garbage (basura), debe ser bueno.

La banda sonora también incluyó otro tema musical cantado por Scott Walker: Only Myself to Blame. Una rareza melódica que pasó bastante desapercibida.

LETRAS

The World Is Not Enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There’s no point in living
If you can’t feel alive
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can’t have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

I feel safe
I feel scared
I feel ready
And yet unprepared
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough
No Nowhere near enough,
The world is not enough

Only Myself To Blame

I’ve walked way past midnight
I’ve driven for days
I’ve tried to forget in so many ways

I’ve held other arms
But they don’t feel the same
And I’ve only myself to blame

From city to city
I still see your face
It follows me ‘round, all over the place

I shouldn’t look back
But I do just the same
And I’ve only myself to blame

I knew it was love
But when you are young
You think love will come again and again

There’s no greater fool
In the fool’s hall of fame
And I’ve only myself to blame

I knew it was love
But when you are young
You think love will come again and again

There is no greater fool
In the fool’s hall of fame
And I’ve only myself, only myself
Only myself to blame
