- The producers of the James Bond franchise frequently express interest to certain bands when it comes to finding the theme song for the next film in the series. In the early eighties, they asked The Fixx to take a crack at writing a Bond theme song and the result was "Facing The Wind". The producers ended up passing on the song (fools!). It ended up as a track on the band's third studio album "Phantoms" which was released in 1984. This video was filmed at Ovation in Henderson, Nevada in 2007. It was put together by Andrew and is from his myspace page which features other such videos: vids.myspace.co...
The five member lineup from the band's heyday of 1982-1993 is still together, touring and recording on a regular basis. The band's ninth studio CD will be released sometime in 2009 as will Cy's third solo CD. Never miss them if they are playing live at an event near you! Their live shows are great!! I do not own copyright to the video or the audio.
Thank you for posting this. One of my faves as a kid in HS. That backgroud guitar still amazes me.
One of their mist underappreciated songs
agreed...I wore this song out when the album was released!
Wonderful version of this great song ! Thanks for having posted it !
This is the first I have heard of "Facing The Wind" being a consideration for a Bond film. It strangely sounds like what happened in the '90s, when The Fixx were allegedly in contention for the Bond film 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. They wrote a song called "Fatal Shore", which is on their 1998 album 'Elemental'. There are audience recordings of the band playing the song live in early 1997, where Cy sings "Tomorrow Never Dies" during the song. Link is here: sightnsound.org/Fatal%20Shore%20(Live).mp3 Sheryl Crow ended up getting the theme song.
Is Ovation the club at Green Valley Ranch? I might have been at these shows.
