VOCES8: For Your Eyes Only & You Only Live Twice (arr. Jim Clements)

VOCES8 sings Jim Clements' arrangement of two classic James Bond theme tunes, 'You Only Live Twice & For Your Eyes Only' at the VOCES8 Centre in London. The video features VOCES8's new soprano, Eleonora Poignant.
'You Only Live Twice' by John Barry
'For Your Eyes Only' by Bill Conti and Mick Leeson
TEXT
For your eyes only can see me through the night
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me
So much in me that's new
I never felt, until I looked at you
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you freed in me
Only for you, only for you
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I'm an open book
Because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines
---------------
You only live twice
Or so it seems
One life for yourself
And one for your dreams
And love is a stranger
Who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger
Or the stranger is gone
Make one dream come true
You only live twice

[@ChristineRauh]

The lyrics really fit well with this time quality, don't they! Breaking free in our minds ... precisely what the Universe is calling us to do!

[@ludmilacahojova]

Welcome Eleonora, amazing voice! And Dominic - bravo!

[@richardseewald4739]

How wonderful to finally welcome Eleonora! At the same time, we must thank MaryRuth and other gems who have stepped in to perform so beautifully with VOCES8 over the past months. Thank you all!

[@justin.morgan71]

Agree. They have been wonderful! ❤️

[@acupunkla]

That bass vocalist! Wow... What a talent!!! The whole ensemble is as stellar as ever. But I had to listen to it on repeat just to hear him sing!

[@roysrosenthal]

This is amazing-bravi tutti! Welcome Eleonora and love Andrea's ear jewelry. 💫🎶

[@MrBillmechanic]

YES! It complements Andrea's natural regal presence.

[@justin.morgan71]

She is a stunning, beautiful person. 🙏

[@NehaChindu]

All the other members seem extra glitzy for welcoming Eleonora in her debut video into the group! Andrea's ear jewelry, the new haircuts for most of the men❤❤ LOVE THEM, and this song compliments all their voices❤😊

[@BillShort-s]

I don't think people understand what a bless is to have a group of people who provide such level and clear sound, just by 1 click. Much love to you all. Wish one day I have the chance be in one of your concerts.

[@1pootle]

Some Soprano Vibrato! Yes! Let's bring more of this back! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lucianamaffra1607]

[@rudolffritzroessle6581]

Auch mal schön so einen entspannten Bond zu hören. Da die Filme immer brutaler werden und ich mittlerweile einige meide, hoffen wir doch sehnlichst auf den Erhalt von Frieden und Menschlichkeit. 🎼☀️🌻

[@MrBillmechanic]

SHOCKINGLY, OUTRAGEOUSLY, CELESTIALLY, OTHER-WORLDLY , STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL !!!! VOCES8 bass and baritones define the meaning of "top of their game". What a beautiful bass voice! And Eleanora's voice is one of a kind.....truly unique and all hers......she is an outstanding contributor to VOCES8's eternal quest for perfection.

[@rpzzw]

OMG, so mellow! 🤗

[@Muhalomusic9583]

Have started the year 2025 on high note! Extra ordinary arrangement and sweet singing.🎇

I'm a faithful follower of this amazing group. Hope they will visit my vicinity one day so I can see them in person. Thanks for bringing joy to the world.

[@jeffgorham8819]

I hope you do. I was fortunate enough to see them I person a couple of years age, and it was a memorable event.

[@Alecmcq]

I saw them live at the Sydney Opera House 8 months ago. It was stunning.

Big welcome to Eleanor ❤what a voice! Looking forward to hearing more. Great recording guys highlighting the unique beauty of each voice, especially Dom!!!❤

[@eddoane1584]

What fun!!! Clearly, the members of Voces8 have "bonded" with their newest members!

[@jereburkholdermusic]

This song literally kept me alive 10 years ago when I bought the 2010 Aces High album 👏

[@Runsomwhere]

I need this on repeat. Can't wait to hear more from this edition of Voces8 - their energy and voice blend are just incredible.

[@carlgeenen1654]

Wow!! An amazing arrangement sung so wonderfully. It's so nice to hear your new soprano, Eleonora Poignant (beautiful name, BTW), as well as the individual voices of so many of our favorite VOCES8 singers. Bravo!!

[@BAB391]

Together with Goldfinger the best James Bond title tracks of all time. Complex but still catchy harmonics and melody lines, always ending in a plain major chord; perfect arrangement and interpreted brilliantly by Voces 8. Thanks.

[@richardjohnson4006]

Absolutely gorgeous. So talented. Thank you so much!

[@yvonnehutzler3855]

Goosebumps! So gorgeous. Welcome Eleonora!

[@Catherine-m8g]

Magnificent as always. Thank you for this uplifting moment at the end of a strenuous day at work.

[@drpangloss6725]

Sehr toll. Mal wieder. Amazing!! Und NOCH mehr brillante neue Stimmen (Sopran und Bass). Love this ensemble!!

[@wshaw1240]

For your ears only ...always liked Sheena Easton voice on Bond theme and this version is a delightful alternative voces8 style. Friday evening vocal treat thankyou

[@dag-danieldittert9364]

Thank you

[@saxocastera]

Welcome Eleonora and great to see you so quickly! We could not hope better. You sound great! And welcome back Blake as well... (I am happy to have seen your place from the inside on 23 Jan.)

[@malc121]

An amazing rendition beautifully performed 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

[@luciasona2231]

Bella melodia e bravissimi I cantanti ! Le voci angeliche sono tornate per dirmi che si vive solo due volte o così sembra . "Una volta per te stesso e una per I tuoi sogni''. Non mi consolano queste parole e I sogni svaniscono presto. Grazie Voices8 ❤

[@brucekuehn4031]

Jim Clements - what a beautiful and very clever arrangement! From the first notes of John Barry’s waterfall string sound and then entwining Bill Conti’s theme, you not only bring together two composers, but also memories of Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

[@cornbeef]

Well done Jim! Glad to see you're music being sung!

[@robertmackie337]

Gorgeous!…👏😌✨

[@musical3lottie]

Oh wow, goosebumps just like the first version of this. This year unexpectedly brought back many wonderful, fond memories of that time of my life; I was fortunate enough to participate in community music leader workshops with Paul and Charles for a few years, and observe members of the group leading workshops in local schools. It's such a pleasure to see the group becoming more and more successful, so well deserved, and the wonderful growth of the education arm of the foundation too. Now in your twentieth year, congratulations on all you've achieved, all you have given to others, and all you continue to do! All whilst consistently maintaining a phenomenal level of skill and musicianship to produce the most sublime music I have ever heard.

[@cocopianodad]

The subharmonic at the end is outstandingly explosive

[@markfiddler]

Most excellent! Familiar tunes made new, presented with great verve.

[@QuantumJohnny1]

Heavenly. And my favourite spy.😊

[@Pieter369]

Beautiful version of the theme song. Gave me goosebumps
