James Bond
Moby/Pierce Brosnan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One love will
One love will
One love can take you make you feel alive and whole
Why give it up why tear it up
One love will
My love will
My love will make you feel alive enough to let go
The death row
Once again you feel like the brothers know
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The unforgetable
Public enemy number one
Five-oh said "freeze" and I got numb
Can't I tell 'em that I really never had a gun
But the wax that the terminator x spun
Now
So soft
So alive
My dear
So good
So close
So real
This love
Whoa love!
Want to give it up
Lets turn it loose
The lyrics of Moby/Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond Theme can be interpreted in two different ways, depending on how one chooses to look at them. The first interpretation highlights the power of love, with the lyrics urging the listener to allow love to lift them up, and to embrace ‘one love’ in order to feel alive and complete. The lyrics are emotional and powerful, with the repeated emphasis on ‘one love’ suggesting that this is a love that is all-encompassing, and that will fill the listener with the strength and energy they need to let go and truly live.
The second interpretation of the lyrics sees them as an invitation to overcome one’s fears and embrace a life of adventure and excitement. The repeated references to ‘James Bond’ throughout the song suggest that the listener can become like the iconic character if they are willing to let go of their inhibitions and take risks. When the lyrics change suddenly to reference the rapper Chuck D and his group Public Enemy, it takes on a more political tone, with references to death row and police brutality, suggesting that the listener should use their newfound strength and courage in the face of oppression and injustice.
Overall, the lyrics of Moby/Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond Theme are open to interpretation, with both readings providing the listener with different but equally powerful messages about the importance of love, courage, and adventure in life.

I love the Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond. It really had a sense of fun and creativeness that really is underrated.

Let me tell you Sean Connery might be the best but the man who deserves to take the title after him is Pierce Brosnan
Alston Albert
Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond ever😍😍😘😘🔥🔥🔥
WhiteCavendish
In addition to being the best James Bond, in my opinion, Pierce Brosnan is also a super nice, down to earth guy.
Thomas
Those who thinks Brosnan is not the best James Bond they should watch this video...and I have seen Craig's all Bond films and they were literally very boring...but Brosnan's films were very enjoyable and entertaining till end...
BILL MURRAY
I thank his late wife Cassandra for
encouraging Pierce to carry on the
role of Bond .
Victor montano
Hell yeah!, Pierce Brosnan is, and will always be the best suited actor for playing as James Bond hands down!, Daniel Craig, isn't even close!.

Agreed. Craig was dreadful. Skyfall was his only truly great film but imagine if Brosnan had been Bond in that. No need for a silly Moneypenny origin story, and Brosnan cradling Dench’s M, particularly after that first meeting in GoldenEye, would have been genuinely poignant.

Lucky to see the most handsome man ever..in action as Bond..He was the best bond ever
