007 Soundtrack: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

FILM: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

David Arnold composed the score of Tomorrow Never Dies, his first full Bond soundtrack. Arnold came to the producer’s attention due to his successful cover interpretations in Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project—which featured major artists performing classic James Bond title songs.

The theme tune was chosen through a competitive process. There were approximately twelve submissions; including songs from Swan Lee, Pulp, Saint Etienne, Marc Almond, Sheryl Crow, and David Arnold. Arnold’s entry—Tomorrow Never Dies, sung by k.d. lang—a bold, brassy number in the classic John Barry/Shirley Bassey vein, was chosen as the official theme song, and Arnold heavily incorporated elements of the song throughout the film’s score. However, similar to the last-minute theme song switch that occurred with Thunderball three decades earlier, shortly before the film’s release, the producers replaced Arnold and lang’s theme with Sheryl Crow’s, as Crow was a much bigger name at the time; Arnold’s theme was re-titled Surrender and moved to the end credits.
