A View to a Kill ...
This is a stand-alone single created for the James Bond movie A View to a Kill. It remains the only James Bond theme song to have reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also made it to #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #6 in Australia.
The song was written by Duran Duran and John Barry, and recorded at Maison Rouge Studio and CTS Studio in London with a 60-piece orchestra.
Duran Duran were chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor (a lifelong Bond fan) approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked "When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?"[1][2] This inauspicious beginning led to some serious talks, and the band was introduced to Bond composer John Barry, and also Jonathan Elias (whom Duran Duran
members would later work with many times). An early writing meeting at
Taylor's flat in Knightsbridge led to everyone getting drunk instead of
composing.[3]
Le Bon said, of Barry: "He didn't really come up with any of the
basic musical ideas. He heard what we came up with and he put them into
an order. And that's why it happened so quickly because he was able to
separate the good ideas from the bad ones, and he arranged them. He has a
great way of working brilliant chord arrangements. He was working with
us as virtually a sixth member of the group, but not really getting on
our backs at all."[4]
The song was finally completed in April, and was released worldwide in May.
This song was the subject of criticism from singer Pat Boone when it was performed at Live Aid in 1985. Although Duran Duran
donated their time in this historic fundraising effort for African
famine relief (like every other artist on the bill), Boone commented
that if singing lyrics like "Dance into the fire" were the only way to
raise money and awareness of this issue, then maybe it was not worth it.
In 1986, John Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "A View to a Kill".
The song was the last track that the original five members of Duran Duran recorded together until their reunion sixteen years later, in 2001. It was played at their final 1985 performance together, at Live Aid in Philadelphia.

"A View to a Kill" is the thirteenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 6 May 1985. Written and recorded as the theme for the 1985 James Bond movie of the same name, it became one of the band's biggest hits. It remains the only James Bond theme song to have reached number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100; it also made it to number 2 for three weeks on the UK Singles Chart.[1][2]
In 1986, composer John Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "A View to a Kill". The song was the last track recorded by the most famous five member lineup of Duran Duran until their 2001 reunion. It was performed by the band at Live Aid in Philadelphia, their final performance together before their first split. Following Barry's death, the band paid tribute as their encore at the 2011 Coachella Festival, Simon Le Bon reappearing in a tuxedo for a pared-down version backed by an orchestra, before launching into the full, upbeat track. Bassist John Taylor told the crowd: "We lost a dear friend of ours this year – English composer John Barry. This is for him."
Lyrics
Meeting you, with a view to a killFace to face in secret places, feel the chill.
Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making,
Still oversea, could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
who weekends why
Until we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire,
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire.....
Choice for you, is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still.
First crystal tears, fall of snowflakes on your body
First time in years, to drench your skin with lovers, rosy stain
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die...
but can we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
Two fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see.. is the view to a kill
