Came across this (supposedly) rejected QOS theme while on YouTube.

Whilst this is unlikly, whatever its origins, it seems to fit with the video very nicely and is actually a really good song. Its by a Swedish artist called Eva Almér.

Anyways just thought I'd share, so see what you think..

Forever I am all yours

First Impression: not too bad at all, although I'm not keen on the vocal. Interesting to hear what was rejected.

Sounds like a load of bull. Funny how the song is exactly the same length as the credits sequence! Probably some opportunists trying to use Bond to get some attention for themselves. As for it being "rejected", these people are complete unknowns. Are we to assume EON contacted them for a song? At best, they probably mailed an unsolicited tape in, which promptly went straight in the bin.

In all likelyhood yes, but IMO still a great track.

That song was okay, had a Bond vibe to it. What I liked was all the semi-related videos that came up with it. Kept me entertained for an hour!

Interesting, though it seems "fan made" more than "rejected".

I'm sure it was fan made, but I do like it better than AWTD

I have always gotten a laugh out of this "rejected" QoS theme

By 'rejected,' I'm sure they just mean they threw a CD into the mail, sent it to EON, and it was promptly discarded or sent back. Nice effort, though.

I'd agree it's fan made but it does sound much better than most of the others out there.

Just googled the lyrics. Lots of reference to CR as you can see.

You're mine
Here, there anywhere I would like
In sight
Stripped of your armour tonight

No soul left to salvage anymore
No heart left to break me like before

Forever
I am all yours
Whatever I am I'm yours
Whatever I am
I am yours
Forever
I am all yours

One touch
The Quantum of Solace is lost
One kiss
The blood, sweat and tears I shall risk

No drowning can even out the score
I'll fight this - I have nothing more

Chorus

What an awful track. What a shock from that multi selling singer, er, Eva Who...?

"Rejected"...? Yes, because in as much as it wasn't considered. Over-produced, over-sung and under-imagined.

Sounds a bit... typical? Still, liked it quite a bit, overflowing imagination isn't everything and production and singing are not a hindrance when it comes to a song. Yet not, that is. A nice effort, if maybe 20 to 30 years too late.


Just stumbled over this one, supposedly also 'rejected' (propbably not just by EON but also by most CD and mp3 players); great fun, if you're into it ('it' being in this context pussies, naturally). Should have been a title song definitely!!!

LOL!

This got to be a take from the titles of Bond 23! EON are so much ahead of schedule; small wonder, they are remaking Goldfinger. Suppose shooting has already wrapped and we'll get it this very December!

Personally I think if you compare it to themes used in the Brosnan era onwards, it comes out pretty well. Its certainly no worse than some of them.

Decent. If Arnold had worked on it a little bit I think it could've been a good (but not great) theme song for QOS. Anyway, a millions times better than AWTD.

I still think that When Nobody Loves You was the best theme possible for QoS:

I'd take either of them over Another Way to Die though.

What a wonderful song. Wonderfull, wonderful and simply wonderful I say. Brava bravissima! Shame on EON for not choosing this wonderful song! It is classic Bond. It is what a James Bond theme should sound like. I can't seem to tire of hearing the angel called Eva Almer. I am, simply put, now an ardent fan.
