Nick Soma - Carte Blanche

You used to feel
So weak and small
Empty and useless
No power at all
But there are things
You now have learned
And so today
The tide has turned

Now you got carte blanche
You can do anything
You got carte blanche
Let this life take wing
For better or worse
Both blessing and curse
Today's the day to decide

Think twice before
Each step you take
Act wisely now
For your own sake
You're standing at
The precipice
Now you must make
The best of this

You got carte blanche
You can do anything
You got carte blanche
Let this life take wing
For better or worse
Both blessing and curse
Today's the day to decide
You got carte blanche
In this battle of life and death
You got carte blanche
It's on you to choose your path
For better or worse
Both blessing and curse
It's such a dangerous ride

It sure is tempting
To act irresponsibly
When the whole wide world
Is at your feet
You never know
Who is your friend or enemy
Don't trust everybody
That you meet
Ooooohhhhooooohhhhh

You used to feel
So weak and small
Empty and useless
No power at all
But there are things
You now have learned
And so today
The tide has turned

Carte blanche
You can do anything
You got carte blanche
Let this life take wing
For better or worse
Both blessing and curse
Today's the day to decide
You got carte blanche
In this battle of life and death
You got carte blanche
It's on you to choose your path
For better or worse
Both blessing and curse
It's one hell of a ride
Carte blanche
Carte blanche
Carte blanche
Carte blanche

At times this is at least close to sounding like a Bond theme. "Carte Blanche" sounds super awkward when you repeat it so often in the chorus. The horns were a good call.

I really like your surfy guitar work here, it maybe makes me think of European Bond knock-offs than the real thing to a certain extent, but you know what? Those are better anyway. The brass also sounds really great when it comes in, and lifts things just when it needs to. Sadly the vocal doesn't match the music for me, it's all drama but lacking in memorable melody and leaves this struggling to make an overall impression - another victim of very strong competition.
