"The Living Daylights" is a soundtrack composed by John Barry for the 1987 James Bond film of the same name. The film was directed by John Glen and starred Timothy Dalton as James Bond. The soundtrack was released on June 30, 1987, by Warner Bros. Records. The soundtrack features a total of 14 tracks, including the main theme song "The Living Daylights" performed by a-ha. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top 5 in the UK and the top 20 in the US. The soundtrack also includes instrumental tracks such as "Necros Attacks" and "Kara Meets Bond", which are both action-packed and suspenseful. The soundtrack is divided into two distinct movements. The first movement features the main theme song and several other tracks that are more upbeat and action-oriented. The second movement is more romantic and features tracks such as "Ice Chase" and "Air Bond", which are more atmospheric and melodic. One of the standout tracks on the soundtrack is "Assassin and Drugged", which features a haunting melody played on a synthesizer. The track perfectly captures the tension and suspense of the scene it accompanies, in which Bond is drugged and nearly killed by an assassin. Overall, the soundtrack for "The Living Daylights" is a classic example of John Barry's work. It features a mix of action-packed and romantic tracks that perfectly capture the mood and tone of the film. The soundtrack is a must-listen for fans of James Bond and film music in general.
