I rediscovered "We have all the time in the world" before I had discovered it.
I was pushed by a commercial.
I am not proud of it.
Music can be so context-dependent. John Barry says..said..it is the most personal form of expression there is. Implying that words are so prescriptive.
I faint to disagree. They just need their lack of form perfecting.
But it matters not.
His legacy is almost an entire genre of music and few can claim that.
I love his work.
A single composition conjures up a major cinematic experience and it also stands alone.
Maybe we could dream of moments that would do the same.
You only know who you are when you stand alone.
I found Louis Armstrong on my own. I can't remember exactly how.
I had two tape cassettes of great great great songs.
It was hellzapoppin. Amongst other things.
"What is that great sound that makes that noise in the Bond music, Mum?"
"That's a trumpet. Now go and do your piano practice".
