CARTE BLANCHE
by Cavedwellers

At the end of things
There is time for one last drink
You feel the sting
Into reverie you sink
It’s a fatal play
At the end of days
Speak, and death obeys

The bitter end
Justifies most any means
You choose your friends
We have chosen the enemies
And when the moment comes
Dirty deeds get done
And the blood must run

Carte Blanche: do your will
Just as long as you kill
Or be killed, your decision
Carte Blanche: all you need
At your service, guaranteed
If you serve out the mission

The horn sounds are specatcular, and that definitely helps this to sound like a Bond theme. The instrumental section at 1:46 is excellent. Vocals are sufficient, but don't measure up to the music, and they sound a bit out of place as a result. Overall, this is a great composition.

Excellent music, I love the guitar work on this song and the brass sounds excellent, dynamic, jazzy and fun. Solid lyrics, they capture the mysterious, enigmatic vibe well. The vocals let this down slightly I think, particularly on the chorus which has an interesting melody but feels like the words are being crammed into the song a little awkwardly. The instrumental sections are so good that the chorus suffers in comparison, perhaps. Still a thoroughly enjoyable song but that dropped it slightly in my rankings compared to the rest of the stacked list of songs in my top tier.
