A-ha - The Living Daylights Lyrics






Hey driver, where are we going
I swear my nerves are showing
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people... I'm the one they blame
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights

All right, hold on tight now
It's down, down to the wire
Set your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die

Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain
Hundred thousand changes... everything's the same
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
In the living daylights

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people... I'm the one they frame
In the living daylights

A-ha The Living Daylights Comments
  1. T.... ....

    This is the only song to include a deleted bond gunbarrel

  2. C.... M....

    This song is 1000x better compared to the rubbish songs of White/Key's Another Way to Die and Smith's Writings on the Wall. I hope Barry is still alive today composing great themes for Bond.
    Thomas Newman is nothing but a crap. Hated all his recycled themes in Skyfall and Spectre.

  3. w.... ....

    There is something about this song, it would be so dated except for it being a Bond theme. Also there's something so awesome about the words living daylights.

  4. J.... S....

    Great, but unnecessary drum fills man!!!!!!, to busy

  5. M.... E....

    I know this is controversial, but in my estimation this is the best Bond theme.

  6. T.... P....

    From the iconic James bond masterpiece.featuring one of the best Bonds in history..Dalton is raw, brutal & feels living amongst us..

  7. H.... A....

    miss the 80s

  8. J.... R....

    Best Bond in Timothy Dalton, best Bond theme song and the best Bond car all wrapped up in one film. 👍🏻

  9. A.... ....

    Maybe the best bond song, sill holds up. But unfortunately its the worst bond also.

  10. l.... f....

    Se fosse uma banda americana ou inglesa estaria sendo celebrada até hoje

  11. M.... M....

    its a beatiful song sure..its no ah a writings,..its john BARRY...obviously...but in the film...the theme are explained in many versions...as a View to a kill 1985 ...now Bond and 007 its impossible to see...but i save for respect ...CRHIS CORNELL rest in peace...

  12. a.... b....

    This song is Awesome As thanks A-Ha !

  13. M.... J....

    0:38 Love ❤❤❤❤😍

  14. g.... ....

    Great Bond theme 👍❤️

  15. W.... R....

    My favorities 🌛

  16. A.... Y....

    Los amo!!

  17. m.... l....

    Che ricordi questa canzone

  18. T.... o....

    The hairstyle Morten had was badass back in the 80's. Now everyone's looking the same with the boring fade.

  19. T.... R....

    The living dayligths na minha humilde opinião um das melhores músicas que já foram tema de filme do charmoso agente secreto 007... Timoty Dalton um charme a parte...

  20. G.... S....

    Una delle più belle

  21. s.... w....

    I think foals should cover this song. Perfect for their style i think.

  22. S.... A....

    Atompunk music.

  23. C.... D....

    Awesomeness

  24. P.... B....

    Great video, great song, and yes, a great James Bond. 👍

  25. M.... D....

    Los noruegos de a ha mamá mía

  26. g.... ....

    Best bond song together with "You know My Name". R.I.P. Chris Cornell.

  27. D.... S....

    The best bond theme

  28. D.... R....

    The most underrated Bond theme song imo.

    D.... R....

    Atleast it went to the top 10 in UK

  29. V.... C....

    Here in 2019

  30. C.... T....

    Love this theme.

  31. P.... N....

    Nice song

  32. C.... ....

    I am glad to know i wasn´t the only one that found out about A-HA for this song and not for Take on me.

  33. L.... C....

    This song altogether with Duran Durand "a view to a kill" are the best Bond's songs ever....period.

    L.... C....

    Very agreed

    L.... C....

    I think the same!

    L.... C....

    Behave yourself. Both songs are top drawer but both fall way behind Goldfinger and Live and Let Die.

    L.... C....

    All are solid, but Adele's Skyfall brings back the sound of Shirley Bassey.

  34. �.... �....

    That's great! Morten Harter incredible!

  35. M.... P....

    *THIS IS ONE OF BEST _ DON"T CHANGE IT!!!*

  36. p.... c....

    that movie is the best bond movie

  37. M.... G....

    aha was complete PANTS but then they pulled one of the best bond themes out of the hat.. rivaled only by view to a kill

    M.... G....

    @COOLGAMINGSHOW they were very popular and talented, but I couldn't handle the lead vocal.. it sounded like it was taking the mick out me , SOMEHOW it worked on Living Daylights .. I don't how that works LOL

    M.... G....

    @Mister Generation yea do know there were popular and talented 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ and as I did comment that they ain't forcing you to like them jeez

    M.... G....

    @COOLGAMINGSHOW it's kind of a given that no one was forcing me to like them, so I kinda ignored THAT part of your comment.. LOL

    M.... G....

    @Mister Generation just don't comment...seriously just don't, just don't go on about his voice alright

  38. h.... ....

    コレが一番、アハの曲では歌いやすくて簡単だし、007の主題歌なんで知名度もあるかな

  39. r.... t....

    Melhor banda do mundo.

  40. S.... H....

    This is my favourite bond song.

  41. T.... P....

    I've listened to this song, literally over 50 times, and it keeps getting better over the decades..with all the crappy songs coming out today..

  42. L.... P....

    It’s 1:48 Welllll excuuuuuuuuuuuse mE, soldat!
    This guy is clearly a hack noob.

  43. J.... C....

    People can give me all the crap they want. In my opinion Timothy Dalton was THE best Bond!!!! And I'll believe that until my dying day.

  44. F.... B....

    Ferdig da Cars er diger alt jeg har av se Berlin

  45. g.... ....

    I think Hunting High and Low, could have also been a Bond theme song.

    g.... ....

    But it wasn't written for that film

    g.... ....

    @COOLGAMINGSHOW I know, but it has that sense of drama, that it should be.

    g.... ....

    @gsf67 well they wasn't thinking about it until 1987 😂😂😂

  46. J.... W....

    T.Dalton did what Ian Flemming's vision of Bond should have "STAYED".... Deal with it!

  47. I.... H....

    A-ah is the best band of all time

  48. C.... S....

    It was a Dark Knight film for its time.. Awesome! - 006 Reporting for duty. AHAHAHA =)

  49. J.... G....

    Morton Harket is a God and wot a voice

  50. r.... s....

    The album version is so much better

  51. T.... D....

    One of the best bond songs from an underrated movie, video could have been better

    This is my favorite Bond theme. Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond, ever since I was a little kid. His Bond didnt play games, and he actually looked like an assassin.

    Dalton's Bond also had the best gun barrel pose, his is the only Bond to have a "ninja stance" during his gun barrel opening.

    I always imagined Dalton's Bond being the "Uncle", that James Bond Jr. would always reference, during the cartoon series.

  58. m.... d....

    musica muito bonita brasil

  59. N.... ....

    Timothy Dalton was a great Bond, tough but also suave. Daniel Craig's bond has no sophistication, too much a thug in a suit.

    N.... ....

    I think he only got that sophistication in Spectre but yeah, Dalton is Ian Fleming's Bond.

  60. C.... W....

    If you ask people what their favourite Bond car is, they'd mostly say Aston Martin DB5. My favourite is the V8 Vantage Volante

  61. A.... C....

    Spin a win

  62. C.... T....

    Nach Roger Moore der beste Bond Darsteller.

  63. M.... M....

    It's weird to look back and realise this group had quite a few hits not just Take on Me!

    M.... M....

    10 top 10 hits with 2 hits in the UK

  64. G.... C....

    A-ha and Tim Dalton. Great combination.

  65. T.... ....

    Cineworld gang

  66. s.... t....

    Epic song🙏🏽💋

    s.... t....

    It's in my top 5 Bond movie themes list.

  67. S.... U....

    Timothy Dalton is the best Bond for me.

  68. P.... ....

    Thimothy Dalton, best Bond acter. The Living Daylights , best Bond song and best Bond movie.
    Nr. 2 Licence To Kill, Nr. 3 On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Nr. 4 Thunderball
    My favorites.

  69. L.... J....

    Legend
    😘

  70. R.... W....

    Definitely one of the top Bond songs....the movie has THE best opening :)

  71. c.... b....

    Dalton great actor. I first remember him from wuthering heights

    c.... b....

    I remember him playing Prince Arbory in 'Flash Gordon' way back when.

  72. c.... b....

    I agree

  73. N.... ....

    Rainbow Dash Song Vell thart

  74. L.... M....

    TUNE!!!!!!

  75. T.... S....

    Sounds like "Simple Mind - Don't You"

  76. S.... ....

    Great song, but I love the SOTR album version much more :^}

    S.... ....

    That version sucks

    S.... ....

    Same here. The single version has better arrangements, thanks to John Barry, but it sounds too "James Bond-ish" (duh!) to my liking. And I'm not a big James Bond fan: I'm an a-ha fan first and foremost.

    The album version, on the other hand, sounds dated now with all the synthesizers and drum machines instead of real instruments,  but at least it sounds like an a-ha song.

  77. u.... ....

    ... not really the best Bond film, but one of the best Bond Soundtracks ever! Everything is possible ;)

    u.... ....

    A-Ha & Pretenders were a pretty lethal duo on this soundtrack!

  78. P.... ....

    A-ha seem to have been taking notes from the A View To A Kill song but they did it well. The opening is so punchy.

  79. D.... ....

    The best! When this song first came out I always thought it was two different people singing. Amazing voice.

  80. P.... B....

    Brings back memories from my teenage years...my friends and I loved a-ha

  81. S.... O....

    The best theme song

  82. C.... B....

    Algunos diran " q comentario de viejo" pero no me canso de repetirlo, la música de los 80 y 90 es la mejor de todos los tiempos, doy gracias de haber vivido esa época, que grandes bandas por Dios!!!!

  83. T.... ....

    I personally don't think that is the best bond song even though I love A-ha generally. It's sound rather weak, that's why I dislike that song.

  84. J.... A....

    Maryam D'abo, so sexay!

  85. t.... f....

    As a female at the age of 44, I can finally appreciate the gorgeousness of Timothy Dalton in this. And I've always loved this song.

  86. C.... I....

    Written bye john barry and pal Waatkaar !!!!!

    C.... I....

    Nope, entirely written by Pål-Waaktaar-Savoy & Magne Furuholmen, music and lyrics. John Barry had absolutely no interest in taking part in the songwriting process. He just asked the band to hand him the finished song so that he could redo the arrangements, and then demanded to have his name added to the credits as co-writer instead of Furuholmen.

    Pål eventually gave in after much arguing, but according to him Barry never should have been credited as the co-writer in the first place.

    C.... I....

    Megrez alberich , en el disco que tengo stay on these roads , pone que canción living daylights , los autores son john barry y pal waatkaar

  87. d.... ....

    What an amazing streak of bond themes this was from 1985-1995. A View To A Kill, The Living Daylights, License To Kill and Goldeneye are all incredible songs.

  88. N.... S....

    My favorite Song in the 80th

  89. C.... S....

    Best bond soundtrack

  90. K.... W....

    Sleek. That's what this song is. SLEEK.

  91. J.... M....

    Adele who???

  92. C.... B....

    Many dismiss Timothy as Bond, that's your opinion-but think about it-Sean Connery couldn't also pull off playing the romantic lead in Jane Eyre, the villain in Hot Fuzz, the leader of the Time Lords in Doctor Who and a Shakespearean hedgehog in Toy Story.

    C.... B....

    @MegaRayland Dalton was the closest to Fleming's idea of Bond.

    C.... B....

    Joy Lunn Never read the original source material. What was Fleming’s idea of the character?

    C.... B....

    @MegaRayland Me neither, but I have a friend who is obsessed. Apparently Sean Connery is the closest, because he's a white Scotsman. No idea if that's true, so nobody shoot me, but that's what I've been told.

    C.... B....

    @Cheyenne Brennan You forgot his role as Prince Arbory in 'Flash Gordon'--He sold that role to me.

    C.... B....

    @Mikey_Suze Four Oh, even better!

  93. P.... B....

    I’m 45 now and every time I see Morton harket my heart still melts . 😍❤️

    P.... B....

    Me too and I'm male and I'm 100% heterosexual 😂

    P.... B....

    Funcheon Mc Truncheon 🙈😂😂

  94. S.... S....

    Timothy Dalton był najlepszym Bondem i ta piosenka jest świetna.

  95. R.... E....

    One of the best James Bond movies, and perhaps the best James Bond song ever, along with A View to A Kill by Duran Duran.

  96. A.... W....

    “Comes the morning and the head lice fade away “ 🤣

  97. J.... S....

    Excellent Bond movie and title song.

  98. P.... H....

    Why is this called The Living Daylight and not The Living Daylights? It even calls it The Living Daylight on the screen at 0:13
