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

 El intento de que el compositor Eric Serra proporcionara una banda sonora de vanguardia para Goldeneye obtuvo unos resultados insatisfactorios. Sus temas experimentales están fuera de lugar en una película Bond. La reacción a su banda sonora fue negativa en todas las ciudades y fans del mundo. Incluso los temas supuestamente agradables se utilizan erróneamente en las secuencias. Por ejemplo, Serra presenta una melodía romántica en el primer encuentro entre Bond y Xenia en el casino, lo cual perjudica a la secuencia, centrada en un inteligente diálogo entre ambos. Incluso peor es la elección de la canción final «The experience of love«, una melodía floja y fácilmente olvidable del propio Serra, basada en otro tema suyo para El profesional. Termina una película muy emocionante con una nota baja.

Mucho más éxito tuvo la canción principal, escrita por Bono y The Edge e interpretada soberbiamente por Tina Turner. Sin embargo, como Serra no participó en la composición, la canción no se escucha de forma instrumental durante la película.

LETRAS

Goldeneye

See reflections on the water
more than darkness in the depths
see him surface in every shadow
on the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye I found his weakness
Goldeneye he’ll do what I please
Goldeneye no time for sweetness
but a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You’ll never know how I watched you
from the shadows as a child
you’ll never know how it feels to be the one
who’s left behind
You’ll never know the days, the nights,
the tears, the tears I’ve cried
but now my time has come
and time, time is not on your side

See home move through smoke and mirrors
feel his presence in the crowd
other girls they gather around him
if I had him I wouldn’t let him out

Goldeneye not lace or leather
Golden chains take him to the spot
goldeneye I’ll show him forever
it’ll take forever to see
what I’ve got

You’ll never know how I watched you
from the shadows as a child
you’ll never know how it feels to be so close
and be denied
It’s a gold and honey trap
I’ve got for you tonight
Revenge it’s a kiss, this time I won’t miss
now I’ve got you in my sight
With a Goldeneye, golden, goldeneye
with a goldeneye, goldeneye.

The Experience of Love
 
I know you dream a lot
Holding on to lies
And you wait around
For someone to know where you hide
In your dreams, you feel a lot
But you keep it all inside
And you close your eyes
It helps keep you alive
But the experience of loving
Won’t take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
(The experience of love, first time)
And having come this far
Cherishing your dreams
You have realized now
How they help keep you alone
And the experience of loving
Won’t take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
Breathing in the scent of love
(Leave the dreams behind)
Sensing life in everything under the sky
And the experience of loving
Won’t take
