It was written by guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (often credited as just Pål Waaktaar). After first appearing in the context of the film, a revised version was included in the band's ''Stay on These Roads'' studio album, which came out in 1988. ==Origin and recording== John Barry was listed on the credits as co-writer and producer, and the initial release of the song was his version. A second version of the song, re-worked by A-ha in 1988, later appeared on their third album, ''Stay on These Roads''. The band prefers their version of the song to Barry's. When interviewed on a late-night show in 1987, Barry said that he found working with the band exhausting secondary to the band's insistence on using their own version of the song for release.〔 〕 In an interview with Hotrod Magazine, keyboardist Magne Furuholmen said that "(band's ) fight with Barry left a rather unpleasant aftertaste. Apparently he compared us to Hitlerjugend in a newspaper interview." Waaktaar-Savoy stated that although Barry produced the track, he never contributed to the songwriting process and should not have been credited as so〔 (the band Duran Duran made similar claims after they worked briefly with Barry on the theme to the previous Bond film, "A View To A Kill" in 1985). However, Waaktaar-Savoy has also said: "I loved the stuff he (Barry ) added to the track. I mean, it gave it this sort of really cool string arrangement. That's when it for me started to sound like a Bond thing."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=a-ha v John Barry Good Friends REALLY )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Living Daylights (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
