INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: Nancy Sinatra really, really struggled to record
this song even though the end result was a beautiful performance. In fact, Julie
Rogers recorded the song with the orchestra, but the producer Cubby Broccolli
wasn’t happy and rang Frank Sinatra to see if he would do it. Sinatra didn’t
want to do it but recommended his daughter Nancy. The end recording is actually
about 12 takes spliced together!
INTERESTING FILM FACTS: The film bears no resemblance to Ian Fleming’s book
except on two fronts: The location (Japan) and the conflict between Bond and
Blofelt
LYRICS:
You only live twice, or so it seems. One life for yourself, and one for your
dreams. You drift through the years and life seems tame, till one dream appears
and love is its name.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, don't think of the danger or the
stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price, make one dream come
true, you only live twice.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, don't think of the danger or the
stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price, make one dream come
true, you only live twice.
Since you are clearly a keen spy, you must be
alert for more more information. Here's a
clue.
