Skye's new album Wishing Tree will be released April 2, 2013. Working with producers Kosowski and Rogers, Skye has created a synthesis of pop, rock and folk anchored by her strong songwriting and winsome voice, which can range from a lush alto to a crystalline soprano. She wrote many of the songs at her parent’s bookstore, now located in rural Williamsford, Ontario, on an out-of-tune Mason & Risch upright piano.

Explode
Larra Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soldier in the night
Can you tell me how it is
How you stole into my life
I wanted thunder
Something furious and brief
Now it’s calm after the storm
A small apartment on the second floor
It’s our home
We don’t even know our neighbours’ names
A kitchen table with two wooden chairs
The old stove
We don’t even need to light the flame
To explode
Down in the water
With the winds that used to blow
Are the tears I once let fall
They’ve become quiet hellos
In the city
In the summer and the heat
There’s an army marching on
I can hear them in the street
A small apartment on the second floor
It’s our home
We don’t even know our neighbours’ names
A kitchen table with two wooden chairs
The old stove
We don’t even need to light the flame
To explode
Ah.
A small apartment on the second floor
It’s our home
We don’t even know our neighbours’ names
Oh, a kitchen table with two wooden chairs
The old stove
We don’t even need to light the flame
To explode
The lyrics of Larra Skye's "Explode" tell a story of a person who was seeking a passionate and intense relationship until they met someone who brought calm and happiness into their life. The song talks about being content with simple things like a small apartment, a kitchen table, and an old stove. The lyrics suggest that even though the couple may not know their neighbors' names, they are happy and fulfilled in their own little world. The line "We don't even need to light the flame to explode" indicates that the chemistry between them is so strong that it doesn't take much to set off their love.
The song has a nostalgic tone, with its references to past tears becoming quiet hellos and the sound of an army marching in the street. The lyrics evoke a sense of peace and contentment that comes from being in a settled and loving relationship. The music itself is mellow and soothing, with a slow tempo and gentle melody that complement the lyrics' theme of calmness.

The quote that M gives is from the last part of Tennyson's poem Ulysses.
"There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Echoboomer1987
It’s always difficult to pick the best Bond because of the different styles they bring. But Judi Dench will and always will be the best M to me.

Mallory was actually very underrated I feel
Gentlemen Desperado
I agree, Ralph Fiennes is very good also.

Maybe her absence is the reason I really dislike Spectre.

The most unrealistic part of any Bond movie is any world government seriously considering ending the use of spies in warfare because of a spy committing a crime or two.

That part is somehow unrealistic, how would M be in that place with such little protection? The whole street should have been locked out, including the presence of SAS
