Billie Eilish – No Time To Die (Audio)

Billie Eilish, a singer-songwriter from the United States who enjoys immense support from young people around the world.

Today she’s a leading figure in stylish musical aesthetics, but until she gained global recognition with 2019’s “bad guy,” she was known as a representative artist of so-called “dark” songs.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “No Time To Die.” While the melody is very simple, its powerful message and her lyrical vocals create a heavy, evocative mood.

Brimming with the essence of one of America’s defining alternative rock bands, this work was included on the October 1993 album “So Tonight That I Might See” and was released as a single the following year.

The black-and-white music video aired on MTV is memorable for its performance scenes in a dim, burlesque-era ballroom.

Featured in numerous films and TV dramas, including “Gilmore Girls” and “CSI,” it carries a timeless allure.

It’s a song that stays with you on dark days, a companion for nights when you want to quietly reexamine your feelings alone.
