You Know My Name (4:00)

Cover of Carry On

From Carry On and 11 other releases

“You Know My Name,” performed by Chris Cornell, is the theme song to the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. Cornell wrote it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack’s composer. The track was leaked onto the Internet on September 20, 2006. It was the first Bond theme to be sung by a male vocalist since 1987’s The Living Daylights and is the first Bond theme since 1965’s Thunderball to be sung by a male soloist. It is also the first since “All Time High” (the 1983 theme to Octopussy) not to feature its film’s title in the lyrics. (Dr. No, From Russia with Love and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service featured instrumental songs in their openings.) It was later included on Cornell’s second solo album, Carry On.

If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?

    Stunning tune. Ironically, Chris Cornell always seem to do his best vocal work outside of Soundgarden.

    I agree, you cannot compare this song and 'Skyfall'. They are both very 'bondish' but completely different from eath other. I personally like both, but 'Skyfall' is just too overplayed these days.

    Each to their own. Adele's okay but I prefer my music to be rocking. You Know My Name is a rocking song, Bond movie or not.

    Oh God... 'Skyfall' by Adele is a typical soul song, reminds a lot old Bond songs like 'Moonraker', 'Diamonds are Forever'. This is a great song, very 'Bondish'. 'You Know My Name' is a great song too, one of the best. But we can't comapre this to 'Skyfall'! Two different song!
