The lyrics just kinda build on it and although it's not as perfectly lovely as [I]From Russia With Love [/I] it's also not as straightforwardly sinister as [I]Goldfinger[/I]. It has[U] just[/U] enough ambiguity. The viewpoint seems to change as the song goes along (or maybe something gets totally lost in translation, I'm not ruling anything out) but that also works for me because there's always a kind of uncertainty between Bond and his Bond girls, and at the end of the movie it's almost as if she's singing to the audience "this dream (movie) is for you, so pay the price (ticket), make one dream come true (watch us, not the Casino Royale parody)". Nancy's vocals are..."perfect" is such a imposing term but I can't think of another way to describe it. In some parts she's the fragile geisha who hypnotizes you with her Chinese fairy dust, but in other parts her timbre seems to signal some kind of strain, panic even. That could be a purely physical byproduct but regardless I feel it enchances the ambiguity. YOLT sounds great both in and out of context so that's another plus. [/QUOTE]
