I've said it years ago and still say it: Alison Goldfrapp is the PERFECT SINGER FOR A BOND 007 THEME!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍

[@vandalorianvandalorian4769]

I’m sure you and I aren’t the only ones who have had this thought for years.

[@illbebad]

was just thinking this as well! Wonder why it hasn't happened yet?

[@douglasscarselli]

@@vandalorianvandalorian4769 On un univers où

[@brianmchugh3757]

Absolutely. I can’t think of another artist or band that has so many songs that exist in their catalogue that is tailored made to open a Bond movie. It seems so obvious, particularly that Goldfrapp can craft songs in a variety of genres.

[@richardgillett5709]

The bond theme which never was... but so definitely could be. Beautiful.

[@GoreVidalComicbooks]

Alison Goldfrapp has the most sensual voice in pop music. Her sirens voice wold make Ulysses break his bonds.

[@rooty]

And this from Gore Vidal. He hates everything!

[@ducksick510]

This Gen Last Gen ....you must be over 50 to know that.

[@TraceyMeli]

Yeah her voice is pretty spectacular 🤗🙂

[@markriva4259]

Don't forget Vanessa Daou.

[@dorianb4001]

8 years and I still can’t believe the beauty and the art in this piece, marvelous.

[@paradisewildchild]

It's a great song.

[@sergioramos5684]

whoever directed this video needs to make a movie urgently

[@charliez077]

it's actually Alison's long-time girlfriend Lisa Gunning who directed all the Tales of Us videos:)

[@CraigMarshall_HDvideo4K]

Shot Monochrome or graded to Mono in Post?

[@nebulax6686]

Hard to tell, but I'm going to guess they did it in post, because it's not exactly b+w, almost more of a sepia tone.

[@luanaelmescany6792]

If you want to watch, this video reminds me Respire (2014), a french movie directed by melanie laurent

[@KiKifulton]

The song's inspiration is from the book The Price of Salt, which was turned in the movie Carol.

[@citizenoftheworld6363]

A Truly 007 BOND SONG that never been commissioned. Very essencial!

[@janasapu1]

thanks to Röyksopp, I discovered Goldfrapp this year... Tales of us is my favorite album and videos from it, especially "Stranger". And thanks for Annabell ❣️

[@chicobond89]

writing this as i'm having my coffee break. recently i had an urge to listen to goldfrapp, repeated several times seventh tree on spotify, but i hadn't listened to their whole catalog. but man, this poem, along with annabel, recently hearing on this Covid-19 pandemic, and still going to work, managing a social program in welfare sector, it made me feel grounded to my purpose in these fragile moments. i'm just about to burst to tears, but i shouldn't right now. but if you're still reading this, and yes, i mean you. i sincerely hope that you're doing well. i hope you survive to this awful pandemic. send you lots of love, as well as comfort for the departed you may have said farewell. Lots of love from Mexico.

[@redbearinaz]

Carlos Villarreal cariñosamente dicho

[@auberjean6873]

Carlos Villarreal, thank you for those kind words. The work you are doing is very important, and even more so, treating people with kindness and dignity like you do. I can tell because of your wish for total strangers. I hope you survive and thrive, mi Amigo! I wish you a life full of happiness, health, wealth, and enough time to do whatever is in your heart and may those you love be close to you.

[@user-nu8le3wb3u]

Thank You!

[@auberjean6873]

Carlos Villareal, la deseo bondad, buena salud continua y suficiente riqueza y tiempo para disfrutar de su vida. Saludos desde Chicago.

[@SacredMilkOG]

[@RM-lj8bv]

One of the best albums ever.

[@alexlaurentalexlaurent]

Absolutely! So entrancing.

[@Michael-hv2cj]

Alison has written some wonderful songs but this has to be one of the finest

[@dnicolas90]

La misma ternura que vi en "Pilots. Bellísimo todo! Que viva Goldfrapp!

[@Mediumal]

Have you noticed that nearly all the best songs about our deepest desires/longings and/or love rarely mention these words? "Stranger" is a beautiful song for this reason. All the songs off this wonderful Album seem to be written from a deeply personal perspective and might be semi-autobiographical.

[@DetroitMarauder]

Allison could sing about kitty litter boxes and I would still be in awe of her beautiful voice.

[@user-qc2sk1sd6h]

Alison doesn't have a ring. She survived! :) Best song of 2013.

[@minhcatelyn4882]

Years later I still come back to Goldfrapp's music, especially this mv. The visual matches the story and the music perfectly. Like a poem, its words linger in my mind whenever I hear the word "stranger".

[@darkblue5]

This may just be one of the loveliest tunes I've ever listened in my life....

[@kaka-ye4qz]

ye man me too

[@albiebass9548]

listen to Italian and French movies soundtracks

[@fernandobanzi]

Stranger, when you look at me Eyes strong as steel Light as day Born a mystery You're the in between Boy or girl Wilder, than I've known before Fire rushes through Every vein With a smile that sings You'll be killing me tenderly Every word is soft as fur I'm drifting deep deeper in Stranger, will you remember Stranger, make me remember you Taken by the crowd a tide It's there then gone do or die Stranger, I dream of you and Stranger, I will never know ❤️

[@1SqueakyWheel]

Eyes strong as steel

[@lazztunes2010]

This is so hauntingly beautiful. Just gorgeous.

[@darkestgray0]

KZbin recommended this one to me (I do love Goldfrapp to begin with), and I am so glad I clicked. God.. what an absolute treasure. So dark, melancholy and beautiful.

[@ivonneleon9577]

Is it normal to fall in love more frequently with songs than with people?

[@jaredemerson-johnson6125]

You can't break a song's heart!

[@Azure888]

Absolutely.

[@dmimar2919]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@stepheng.robert7262]

Why do you ask? Just live your life!

[@MrVante247]

I could understand someone with this perspective

[@DanDan-ur7sy]

Goldfrapp art is beyond.... cant waint for her next album, Tales of us did not rank well on charts but its such a masterpiece

[@saltking2715]

problem is kind of that in most today chart music there is no place for simplistic quiet albums like this where are have to be taken back, soaking in the mood, no singing along, no dancing. Even Adele with her pompous ballads is kind of more relate able for most people. This is the music for a long drive home or sitting at a lake gazing at the clear, winter sky. Also it didnt help that their last album was terrible in my opinion. Thats the only one i didnt buy, just to plastic and meaningless. Dont get me wrong i am not the guy saying that all i want, is Felt mountain only& forever and everything else is shit, cause i really like black cherry and supernature with their more danceable electronic approach, but "Head first" was below their great artistic skills.

[@andybear8847]

Dan Concepcion it sold well and went top ten in the UK

[@ducksick510]

Dan Concepcion ...they they they not her

[@IClifeis2B]

A perfect James Bond theme, for sure! And Ennio Morricone would wipe his tears from this one too.

[@markriva4259]

Correct on the Morricone tribute.

[@carlosb052463]

Beautiful. Sophisticated. Macabre and psychotic all rolled into a serene setting!!

[@davefk]

What an amazing hauntingly beautiful song......A song on another level entirely.

[@guillermomanzo8409]

It reaches deep into the soul.

[@lucycatrindevereux]

This just blew me away. So much beauty. Alison Goldfrapp, I think you're genius.

[@HornetV2]

This has to be my favorite video from Tales of Us. Not only is the song amazing but also the story behind the video is so powerful and fits the song perfectly.

[@AmitDasMahapatra]

Heard this song in the movie 'Detour' and instantly loved it.

[@jorge35145]

Black and white love is love, love will always win

[@johnrutlandmusic]

Truly hauntingly exquisite! As many have said, an opportunity missed for not using this for a Bond theme...the song alone would carry the movie!

[@blue-ch7ik]

This is such a great video. Lisa Gunning is brilliant! And Allison's voice, so beautiful.

[@BIackMoonCGI]

Well that just made me cry. Enough said.

[@magonball-z]

Exactly.

[@bernios3446]

Incredibly beautiful song, haunting voice, they've been amonst my favorite groups for years now. Tales of us was just as amazing as their debut album - which was extemely difficult to achieve. They're totally underestimated.

[@nightie69]

I wasn’t expecting this, but my god what visuals and story they created for such a beautiful song.

[@davidperezuribe1384]

Goldfrapp un verdadero talento ingles para el mundo. Sus canciones simplemente me transportan a otro lugar.

[@zaroffhound]

some momentary realities are glimpses of haunting passions unresolved...

[@emifekete7453]

still so stunning it gives me the creeps, same stands for the whole Tales of Us project, especially thankful for such an intellectually productive couple like GoldGun :)

[@qianhao9598]

This song is sometimes playing in my head.

[@andybear8847]

one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@1extraodinarymachine]

I just got into the show penny dreadful and i love it and one of the episodes was so closely done just like goldfrapps video. Goldfrapp has been one of my favorite bands. This song is just so hauntingly beautiful and the video as well. Goldfrapp always throws something out to blow me away

[@secretland9413]

Una delle canzoni più belle dell' intera discografia goldfrapp accompagnata da un video spettacolare, suggestivo, intenso e inquietante

[@albertj7]

So so so underrated. Love goldfrapp

[@richarddean4763]

Tales of us has so much depth beautiful song scary reality

[@martapolegubic9472]

Haven`t seen video this great for a decade!!! Like sirens calling ...

[@JurgenSchlei]

Truly a piece of art!

[@SH-op7el]

Unexpectedly dark

[@anthonydoyle637]

haunting song

[@bumble1612]

From a truly wonderful album, exquisite.

[@phil3332]

Love her music

[@marcotedesco8954]

Shocking!

[@RM-lj8bv]

Can't wait for the next album

[@mrjolieguy8673]

Sinister and yet beautifully heartbreaking! Perfection and outstanding work

[@santiagoexco9853]

Pienso igual... de algo siniestro se crea poesía, desconcierto total!

[@mrjolieguy8673]

...pues muchas gracias Por sus Bonitas palabras ... Very nice of you. 😊😉😉✌🏼

[@stephentorres1444]

Could be the best song they've done so far

[@alexandramayer1373]

I love this song...This album. All of it.

[@TDOB94]

Just... Just perfect.

[@sirius6113]

unbelievable. shivers down my spine

[@zuzek99]

mesmerizing...

[@spooksixsix]

This video is a whole lot deeper than it first appears, clever stuff.

[@indirapandora1644]

Could you explain it to me? I'm little stupid and don't get it 8D Either way, I love it, both the video and the song.

[@spooksixsix]

Hi, well, here it is, the story finds us watching a tale of desperate love, loss madness and identity, the video focuses on the main character, played by Laura Donnelly, who revisits the seaside location of sapphic tryst with a married stranger.this video seems to perpetuate a much thornier concept; that of the 'homosexual as a lethal predator', A subject that's been attempted in varying degree's of success over the years. Here, what at first seems like a symbol of remorse, her dead lovers wedding band still hanging from her neck, years later turns out to be not a memento for what could have been but one of many that will never be. i hope that helps to explain it.

[@johnflynn8238]

+Mick DeVille isn't that just how it first appears?

[@fomohomobro]

Because she only loves strangers so she kill them before they become familiar. Probably because of the bitterness of love (emphasized by lesbianism?), she only took the pleasurable part of it and made the memory last. Could be referring to the romance without promise, one-night-standish love and lifestyle, which is followed by Laurel expressing similar vibes.

[@jonathanwhite5640]

tales of us? ..all

[@naoufalbenali3442]

OOMMMMGGG I LOVE ITT . I LOVE ITT . I LOVE ITT !

[@futureshock5641]

It's criminal she hasn't been approached to do a bond theme yet

[@ynnot65]

Henry Mancini would have loved it. I love it. Everybody should love it. True art.

[@canalcreations]

knocked it out of the park here...what a bloody track. barryesque. haunting.nails that feeling...you know the one.

[@mr.novotny4346]

MY favorito song of the álbum, it's perfect makes me dream!

[@theatralsoup7413]

What a wonderful video, what a beautiful song!!! I dont get sentimental very often when i listen to some touching music. This is one of the few songs i do.

[@daipearmain]

I wish you had made videos for the 4 songs on the album that you didn't. This was perfect for a visual album

[@NiTuairisc]

What a mindblowing song!!!!! I am speechless 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

[@waltjie]

Goldfrapp does it again! Love it!

[@MDolla008]

So deep.

[@lexhenz1080]

me encanta la historia, es como un corto.

[@jabbapop]

Goldfrapp should be next bond theme

[@templarseries]

True. Been saying that for ages. Amazing they have been overlooked.

[@andyoakley6861]

This track has all the signs they'd do an incredible job of it

[@humblepie9906]

For years Ive always thought the same . In my opinion, the entire album " Felt Mountain " is very film noir James Bond-esque . I would say the songs " Pilots" or "Lovely head" could come very close to being part of a James Bond movie. Just a thought.

[@andreakordej2166]

no way, hose....bond sucks, goldfrapp rocks

[@carmenismyname]

Meh ! No

[@erickbub6287]

There is always someone who says "How beautiful! I'm actually crying" -_-

[@erickbub6287]

It's stupid, don't you get it?

[@erickbub6287]

Sure :)

[@erickbub6287]

***** do you? Don't answer. What you need is someone to hugh you ;)

[@indirapandora1644]

How is it stupid? 0.o I have been crying because of very beautiful music......There is nothing strange in that. Some experience stuff differently. Just because you don't cry for music that doesn't mean it's stupid if someone else does =.=

[@rayjay1975]

goldfrapp why didn't you put this forward for a bond tune. You sexy British band.

[@amandabutterfield-maciazek7987]

Beautiful song and one of my favourites.Wonderful iconic example of how love is sometimes?..🤔x

[@claudiosilvestri2865]

That which overflows from the heart, which eyes or fingertips cannot express. This is probably the life, the way.

[@clownnookie]

I just ordered a Goldfrapp today. At the Starbuck's.

[@user-yh5cd7bg1z]

Wonderful❤

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

Wonderful music and lyrics. Relaxing and great b/w video.

[@virgopolution3378]

SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSO... PURO...

[@jcmmanuel]

Shared. Wow, what a filmish James-Bond-ish kind of song.

[@jcmmanuel]

ok thx

[@walterroux291]

how have goldfrapp not done a bond theme! they have the british pedigree going for them as well!

[@ricksoriancout9193]

Goldfrapp: subtle British delicacy to be enjoyed.

[@Destiny93134]

Songs dont get much better than this.

[@richarddean4763]

The muse The craft peerless artistry

[@martinastajcic1424]

beautiful melody...

[@bodgertime]

These Tales of Us videos are awesome, Dunning and Strange et al

[@sandimental]

Masterpiece, just like Felt Mountain

[@auberjean6873]

Goldfrapp TV , this is an enchanting, haunting melody reminding me of what was and what was lost. This song is sung so poignantly I can't help but remember laying down on the wall in Carpenteria and floating over the ocean as the tide came in. And the perfect life I left behind...

[@maree-mareesongwriter6226]

This is so hauntingly and exquisitely beautiful, sonically and visually, on so many levels.

[@crashpalace4834]

Beauty in sound, style, and visuals.

[@BREEZELOOM]

wonderful

[@angelnocharlie]

It is about a woman thinking about her past loves how love dies and what might have been.

[@tomasfiser5534]

heart, grave, love, hate...life

[@60scinema]

I adore this song, and the video is seriously gorgeous too.

[@abeautifulspleen]
