A-ha: The Living Daylights

The good thing about this Bond track is that very listeneable and somewhat memorable - though it's far from being one of A-HA greatest efforts. The theme composed for "The Living Daylights", Timothy Dalton's introduction in the 007 role, works in a great way just as the underrated film. The video clip doesn't offer much, if compared with the previous entry Duran Duran: A View to a Kill" and its fun and thrilling concept of mixing the band with a moment from the film.

Here, Morten Harket and company perform the song inside a big studio warehouse set, with some cool effects recreating the film's classic opening titles, which makes the trio look as if being part of the film concept but not exactly part of the action with Dalton/007. Some moments look very dated and doesn't work all that good, with countless action bits from the film cut along with the group playing the song.

It's cool but it'd be a lot better if the trio play roles in a Bond concept as spies and villains. The guys knew how to throw some acting into their videos (the sailor tribute to "On the Town" in the lovely clip for "You Are the One" is a great example) and a franchise like 007/Bond depends a lot of videos that can go beyond clips from the movie and band/artist performance to invite audiences for the movie. But this one end up quite fine, despite a bigger spectacle. 7/10.
