At the time, it was somewhat smaller than today and it was called the Filmový symfonický orchestr (FISYO) (The Film Symphony Orchestra) or was sometimes known as the Film Symphony of Prague. Many wonderful international films were done by this orchestra in the early days. Recordings have been made for film production companies such as Paramount, Sony, Lucasfilm and many others in the Smecky Music Studios. David Lynch returned again in 1997 to record his Lost Highway, and yet again in 2001 to record Mulholland Drive.
Fully privatized after the Velvet Revolution, today, the musicians and supporting professionals continue to play and record music together (usually every day of the week) for major international films, television series, CDs/DVDs, video games, and even ring tones - both for the Czech Republic market and for clients & media productions around the world.
On Her Majesty
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have, you will find
We need nothing more
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love, nothing more
Nothing less, only love
Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love, nothing more
Nothing less, only love
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's song, "On Her Majesty," is a beautiful love song filled with poetic lyrics about the preciousness of time and the depth of love. The title itself is a reference to the James Bond film series, particularly the second film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The instrumentals are rich and sweeping, creating an expansive and romantic atmosphere.
The lyrics describe a timeless love that is strong enough to withstand the challenges of life. The song suggests that when two people have love, they have everything they need. This love is so strong that it can protect them from the cares of the world, allowing them to exist in a state of blissful disconnection from the outside world. The lyrics emphasize that life is a gift to unfold, and that love is the most precious thing that can be experienced.
One of the most interesting facts about this song is that it was composed by John Barry, the famous film composer known for his work on the James Bond franchise. Barry wrote the song for the 1969 James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," and it became one of the most beloved James Bond theme songs of all time. Later, it was covered by a variety of artists, including Louis Armstrong, who made it into a classic romantic standard.
