If There Was a Man

[@cswilson07]

Tim Dalton was brilliant as Bond, very very close to the Bond Ian Fleming wrote about, charming, shopicated, but with a cruel streak, the others all have their own qualities but TD was one of the best

[@christopherfoote4643]

I honestly don't remember Bond having a cruel streak. He was deeply affected by Della being murdered and was troubled by the fact it was done by henchmen who knew Lighter was on to them. He was also concerned about the remaining CIA operative who probably would be killed without him being involved.

[@steve83333]

Dalton was my favorite Bond ever, and this is the best love ballad from all Bond movies.

[@krs1024]

I never understood people saying Timothy Dalton was the worst Bond. He was so underrated. Just like this song. It hits my heard more than Aha.

[@kierenmurphy8294]

I liked Tim Dalton the best and Living Daylights is my favourite Bond Movie. I didn't have the same interest in James Bond after Tim left the franchise.

How can you not fall in love with Maryam D'Abo when you hear this, remembering her in the movie.

[@ianleszczynski6902]

Nearly forgotten how nice this song is, & how good Timothy Dalton actually was as Bond.

[@craigpatterson1547]

Ian Leszczynski It pissed me off for a long time . I have always felt he was underrated. He had that Bond DNA and I don't know what happened ?! Maybe he wasn't kiss ass enough to the Broccoli family , Who knows ! But he did Excellent in this movie and others ! ( Too me ) .

[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@craigpatterson1547 On the contrary. Tim and Broccoli by all accounts had a very good working relationship, he was actually asked back for Goldeneye on the condition he would do a few more films after, but Timothy decided to decline the offer, feeling it had been too long and that future films would take up too much of his career.

[@daytripper231]

Unfortunetly Dalton quit. He apparently decided to go back to acting in the style he was trained for....it was his call...but he was a great 007...since Brosnans contract with Remington Steele was up and Broccoli was waiting for him , he got the part. It all worked out that way. However, The Living Daylights is my favorite 007 film to date. The chemistry between Dalton and Maryam D'abo is priceless....

Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond. And I love this song, it brings back a lot of my childhood memories.

[@LukePerssonskater]

I agree with you guys. T Dalton was a very underrated bond. He kept the franchise alive and did great work with what he had.

[@JustNeedaBeerandPark]

No he didnt.....critics and fans were very skeptical of Dalton....his movies only brought in 300 million....Bronsan brought the franchise 750 million (in his 1st two movies)......

[@dcinhere]

BigdogH201 But that was after nearly a five year hiatus and a huge merchandise launch along side the release of Golden Eye. Golden Eye for the new N64 was one of the most successful first person shooting games in history.

[@JustNeedaBeerandPark]

***** True......but Ive seen commericals in the late 80s with a more convincing James Bond than Dalton.......Dalton failed at the box office (ans as Bond) because he wasnt convinvcing enough......Bronsan was the better actor and star.....with or without the video games.....

[@eramos8916]

BigdogH201 Brosnan played the role of Bond to light and to a degree of silliness (The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day), Dalton brought back the true Bond essence from Fleming's books however fans were used to the campiness of Roger Moore once Dalton took over and didn't want change which is a shame.

[@stuffedsheepshead]

BigdogH201 People had becomed accustomed to Moore's comedy Bond and weren't prepared for seriousness. Given a few more films, people would've warmed to Dalton.

[@spaceman1979]

I fantasize that in a parallel universe not too different from ours, Timothy Dalton continued making Bond films. Oh what I wouldn´t give to see another Tim Dalton Bond film. Simply magic.

[@neekonsaadat2532]

Pure goosebumps when the closing credits rolled, best bond, best girl, and easily the best song to end a bond. What a film

[@LexingtonDeville984]

I don’t care what the critics or the fans say - Dalton was criminally underrated as Bond. He singlehandedly brought the character back to reality after the camp excesses of the Moore era and the comedy elements that audiences were getting far too comfortable with. And he had the right blend of ruthlessness and charm to match. Though he only did two outings, Living Daylights and Licence to Kill were miles better than the last 4 Moore outings, where he essentially became a parody of himself. Had the legal issues not happened in the 90’s, Dalton would of done Property of a Lady/Whisper of Terror and then signed off with GoldenEye. What could of been, eh?

[@chippyflippy]

Very crimanally underated....nods head

[@StarZendonna1687]

Best James Bond ballad ever!!!

[@elfhermie]

Timothy Dalton's 2 Bond films were the last ones that felt magical to me. Bond films from the beginning through License To Kill always felt like kid on Christmas morning special occasions where you were transported to a wonderful world of escapism and adventure. I still like the ones after Dalton's era, but they just haven't felt "special" since then. Dalton's and Connery's Bonds were guys you wanted to be. Moore's Bond was fun & the stunt work, locales, and ladies were superb. Great times!

[@holleyjomartinez4009]

My favorite movie of James Bond 007 with Timothy Dalton, The Living Daylights. Great song and beautiful 🥰🥰🥲🥲😇😇⭐️⭐️💯💯❤️❤️🌸

[@jasoncanter449]

The piano throughout.....so simple, yet, so perfect. Just an incredible song.

[@driprat]

Timothy Dalton was IMHO the best of the Bonds and (Again IMHO) Maryam D'abo comes first before all the Bond girls. The music in this song is indisputably the best of John Berry's love themes and the Pretenders fit it perfectly. Living Daylights may not of been the best of the Bond stories but it certainly had a lot of other things going for it.

[@Johny40Se7en]

"Kheista - it means beautiful in Afghan" =) The Living Daylights will always be my favourite Bond film because of the really nice feel of it all especially the actors and music. RIP JohnBarry, you and your music will be missed.

[@tmc359]

Ah, the last John Barry bond. Oh my goodness, this music carries a unique place in the canon of Bond music, the man who wrote Goldfinger's last connection with 007. I remember seeing this at Westwood Villiage in 87 and thinking, Barry's still got so much more beautiful music left for Bond, little did I know then this was the last.

[@rutgerusvan]

Dalton sort of thought the franchise had lost their way during moores era because of a loss of sense of reality.Daltonm when he got the role , sort of went back in time trying to emulate Ian Flemings James Bond(the one in the novel) and boy wasnt he successful.One of the most handsome actors and im sure he would appeal more to the "real and true" james bond fans , absolutely love him. His charecter is appealing to intelligent viewers and not to the hilli-billies of america who like brosnan

[@RebeccaBane]

[@HASMITA123]

Whenever I hear this song, my heart just goes into meltdown..... I mean there are so many beautiful songs out there, some by Teena Marie, yet this just encapsulates feelings that you can't get from her songs. The words and the voice of Ms Hinds truly in the words of Roy Ayers just simply "Sends Me."

[@gurwilla1]

Timothy dalton had to deal with shit scripts and lack of money in both movies- but he still came across as one of the best bonds ever, not too smooth but with a killer instinct

[@KingCharltonHeston]

@daytripper231 I think the problem was that internal problems at MGM put a pause period on the Bond franchise that lasted so long that by the time the film that would have been his 3rd (which became GoldenEye), Dalton felt he was too old and that too much time had passed. It's really unfortunate. If only Dalton had stepped in (and Roger Moore had stepped out) with "For Your Eyes Only" we could have had five Bond films from him.

[@orweller3]

I totally agree!! I fully loved Timothy Dalton as Bond. Much closer to the Bond in the books.

[@jamesthomasparker]

Brosnan's bond was great without question he was the bond I grew up with! But Dalton just had more of an edge to him. The living daylight's and license to kill are actually my favorite bond films along with golden eye , Casino royal and Goldfinger. Dalton's bond is so underrated due to him only doing two bond film's but he played the role how it should be played. I am happy however with Craig's bond as he comes very close to Dalton's! Aggressive , cold , Little remorse and not as cheesy!!

[@jimmoore6116]

Timothy Dalton was by far the best Bond. He played him in very believable stories of Russian double agent and the second film was about a South American drugs lord. Yes gone was the world takeovers and back to Bond being played as he always should have been played and not like a cartoon with people like Jaws which was too daft for words. Dalton was set to play him again in Goldeneye but legal holdups meant that 6 years had passed and he changed his mind and gave the part to Brosnan. What a dammed shame it was because for me Timothy was the best Bond of them all but as it is we only have the two films to enjoy but enjoy we do.

[@Mr17051963]

My favorite Bond was Sir Roger Moore, for personal reasons. That said, Dalton is the closest Bond as created in the books by Ian Fleming. My second best, no doubt. 🌟✌️

As soon as I watch the living daylights I knew Timothy would always be my favourite James Bond

[@christhornycroft3686]

I love my spy thrillers, and The Living Daylights was the perfect 80s spy thriller. It’s not completely humourless and unlike License To Kill, the tone is fairly consistent. LTK starts off gritty, and then is kind of all over the place, including how it treats Cary Lowell’s character. One minute it wants to be ultra dark, then it uses Q and Wayne Newton as wildly out of place comic relief.

[@gabo5332]

I have to say that Timothy Dalton is the best Bond as he had both substance and style not to say that I didnt like the others as they all brought their own take on Bond but Timothy brought depth and shows that the loneliness that being a secret agent brings

[@JudasAngel666]

Some of the best in the series EVER it wasn't matched till the Craig and Eva were in Bond.

[@awilliams8543]

The producers should have chosen this for the intro song to "Living Daylights". Their reasoning was that AHA was a more well known band at the time. This turned out to be flawed reasoning. Because AHA were one hit wonders and The Pretenders had several hits. Hynde still performs at concerts to this day. "If there was a man" would have been a suitable intro song because it describes Kara and Bond's relationship and the song is beautiful.

[@Darvada]

the best song of all Bond Movies

[@anthonylewis2080]

How ironic that the final duo of 007 movies soundtrack - at the end credits - more or less have very much the same theme?. Please don't get me wrong, all others were good in their own way, however in my view : Timothy Dalton's interpretation of 007, is so brilliant that anyone to took on the mantle of 007 (even Brosnan and Craig) weren't going to be as close to the last pair of films in the late 80's.

[@LuchiaTheGypsyFox]

I SO agree. IN SOME things Danial Craig is pretty OK, but not as Bond. For the Bond movies not to seem silly, it always works best when there is humor and he can laugh at himself. But between the dead dialog, and lack of clever action (not just shooting but FUN action scenes) and Craig's (funeral parlor director) presentation of Bond I have literally gone to sleep during them. I just do not bother with them anymore. So I patiently wait for someone with a sexy fun pulse again to replace him. ;)

[@orweller3]

Well I think you all said it really quite correctly....beautifully sad ballad by Chrissie and Dalton was and is such a great Bond who brought qualities to the role that none of the others really captured. It is phucking annoying when prats droll on about how Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever....Connery etc: all brought something special that was needed at the time, for the time. Dalton was it ...I wish I had a finger's worth of that cat's style...nuff said.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

I was never a big Chrissie Hynde fan, or the Pretenders for that matter. But this may have been the best "credits" song on a Bond film, beginning or ending. Orweller3 is right. Too much droll on Craig and the more Fleming-correct bitter and tormented Bond. I was born in '67. The 007 I've known is from the films, not the books. No offence Ian. Dalton was a damn good Bond. I just wish the storylines to TLD and LTK were a little better.
