<Li> "The Living Daylights" Released: 22 June 1987 </Li> <P> The Living Daylights is the soundtrack title for the film The Living Daylights and the eleventh and final Bond soundtrack to be scored by composer John Barry . The soundtrack is notable for its introduction of sequenced electronic rhythm tracks overdubbed with the orchestra--at the time, a relatively new innovation . </P> <P> The title song of the film, "The Living Daylights", was recorded by pop group A-ha . As of 2017 this is the only Bond film where the title song has not been performed by a british or an american . A-ha and Barry did not collaborate well, resulting in two versions of the theme song . Barry's film mix is heard on the soundtrack and all three of a-ha's best - of compilations . The a-ha preferred mix can be heard on their 1988 album Stay on These Roads . However, in 2006 a-ha's Paul Waaktaar - Savoy complimented Barry's contributions "I loved the stuff he added to the track, I mean it gave it this really cool string arrangement . That's when, for me, it started to sound like a Bond thing". The title song is one of very few 007 title songs that is not performed or written by a British or American performer in the history of the series . </P> <P> Originally, British pop band Pet Shop Boys was asked to compose the soundtrack, but backed out when they learned that they should not provide a complete soundtrack but merely the opening theme song . </P>
