James Bond Theme
Moby (Dub Pistols remix) 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
My love will
My love will make you feel alive enough to let go
Oh
The death row
Once again you feel like the brothers know
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The unforgettable d
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!
Wanna give it up
Lets turn it loose
"bond, james bond."
In this song, we see a fusion between the James Bond theme song and Moby's own unique style. The start of the lyrics "Now let it lift you" along with the repetition of "one love" refer to the experience of being lifted and made whole by having a sense of love in one's life. The track encourages letting go of the darkness by letting love into one's life. The phrase "My love will make you feel alive enough to let go" shows that having love can be healing and bring hope.
The lyrics then change abruptly to a reference to Public Enemy's iconic song "Fight the Power" with the line "Once again, back is the incredible, The rhyme animal, The unforgettable D, Public Enemy number one." These lines tell the story of a confrontation that ended in the singer being approached by the police, who assumed they were armed. The singer can't convince them that they are innocent, but the wax that Terminator X spun, referring to the DJ for the group who is playing music in the background, helps to diffuse the situation.

Best version of the Bond theme, in my opinion. Love the accentuated guitar and small intricacies added.
@nikostalk5730
acid bassline and breakbeat beats, epic duo of all times!

@millaananova
90s was such a cool time for music. This and the Propellerheads one is love.
@jamesjames2070
Yea bro I agree the crystal method
@7n154
Agreed, this mix was good - but the Propellerheads version was sublime.
@7n154
@James James I was a rave dj in the 90's and used to play The Crystal Method's re-mix of Moby's 'Come On Babe'. It's held up pretty good, its' heavy bass drop is still amazing. And I still have a vinyl copy of their 'Keep Hope Alive' EP. Both are still worthy listens if you find 'em on youtube. Also, if you like that sound, check out the 'Braindust EP' by Überzone and an awesome rave set by DJ John Kelly called 'Funkydesertbreaks V.1' - that classic is def on youtube. Enjoy.
@LicencetoWho
@7 Acuña It would have been great to have seen Propellerheads do a version of the Bond theme as well as Majesty's secret service
