celeb news Lana Del Rey confirms 24 was written for James Bond film; compliments Sam Smith.

[NOW]

 

 

Quote

Asked if she would ever consider writing a Bond theme, she replied: "I mean, how has that not happened?"

She then broke into the chorus of her song 24, from the album Honeymoon, before revealing: "I wrote that for them."

-

"Sam, you did a wonderful job," laughed Del Rey, who said she still hoped to get another shot at the franchise.

"One day, maybe...

"But I'm going to continue to do my little Nancy Sinatra thing every now and then and just pretend it's the title track."

omfg

 

16 year old me is shaking in his boots. i was lowkey manic and promoted the **** out of honeymoon back in 2015 and used to lie to everyone that 24 was written for bond and got snubbed, just to garner attention and make people listen to it and the record.

 

now look how the tables have turned... the way i was tapped in... cleansed of sin and guilt 

[RideOrDie]

wow i never imagined she'd confirm that

[Dolce Vita]

how has this not happened by now, her brand fits james bond so well 

[BelAir]

wow, how did i not hear it in the song tho?

[Bacardo Royale]

justice for 24 

[Totami Legend]

her best album

[ScorpiosGroove]

i'm kinda glad she confirmed something we've all known for the past decade 

 

Spoiler

maybe if she sent in shades of cool they wouldn't have rejected it

the epitome and the pinnacle of "Lana Del Rey" or at least the version of her that the public first encountered such a detached yet holistic conclusion of that part of her career where afterwards she began to deconstruct the traditional LDR identity

I do remember ATRL, even some official reviews, was chatting up how this could have been a Bond theme. 
But.

I hated the song back then. Still hate it now.

 

This is the only thing got me EXCITED:
"But I'm going to continue to do my little Nancy Sinatra thing every now and then and just pretend it's the title track."

[Babydoll.]

a CINEMATIC song on one of her best albums? fools 4 rejecting her !

 

 

[Shimenawa]

Well they rejected Radiohead's Spectre song too.. She was not the only one to get rejected

[Dragonfly]

Oh wow, she never actually conformed it?

It was so obvious that I assumed it all along

[violent desires]

Glad that she confirmed it. It was written for the 24th James Bond movie, hence the title. 

[KingWitch]

The way the mainstream world hates her

[HealerKirby]

seems like she's in the mood to spill some tea today? quick someone ask her about "So Legit" 

[toy soldier.]

One of her best songs and definitely can hear the Bond influence

go make a thread about them then ? 

[shyboi]

I get it, but the song is not sophisticated enough to be a Bond opening track, so it was lazy attempt

 

i really need Lana to put all her brain cells into making this happen, she NEEDS to do a song for a Bond film, she was born for this, sooner or later she needs to achieve this milestone
