Skyfall Theme by Adele

So this is gonna be the first Craig movie where I feel like it's finally going to have all the "regulars" of a bond movie. Kind hyped. I'm still not sure I like that Craig has gotten his own universe to play with disconnected from all the history.
 
Lyrics are very good by Bond Theme standards as well.

Adele said:
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'll never be
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in hand
And we'll stand

Usually Bond theme lyrics are pretty hackneyed
 
Quick thoughts:
The backing vocals aren't appropriate, the bridge has some really clunky lines and isn't very interesting, and the ending isn't that amazing either. Not a disappointment, but I think the song starts strong and doesn't really go anywhere. Adele has a great voice and is perfect for a Bond theme, and this is just the kind of song she needed to do, with the exception of a solid ending.

Really, this is the song that should have been in Quantum of Solace. QoS's song keep getting worse and worse in my eyes. What a mistake.
 
There can't ever be a Bond thread or even mention of the theme songs that doesn't end in me looking this up and lamenting the fact that it wasn't used..

So, you're hosting someone else's rip of the song, without crediting the person who ripped it, or even the radio station that aired it, and padded the post with previous stories and Skyfall images? Kinda scummy.

That song is boring and sounds like a knock off even with Bassey singing it. Another Day to Die is a bad song, but this shouldn't be elevated as a result.

Edit: even the titles for QoS are bad. I haven't watched that movie in a long time, and I remember defending it as "not as bad as people say", but I might be coming around to it.

I can't imagine that would have been the final version but in any case I love that song. I see your points but I really do prefer that song anyway.
 
Maybe the actual version in the intro won't have the backing vocals. Sounds like something a radio edit would have but not the film version. Here's hoping anyway. They're not massively bad, just kind of unnecessary.

If you let me know any of that above information, I can add it. I saw a random tweet that has since been taken down with an mp3 link and the source site has no information on it.

becomes less bond and more soul

interestingly enough, muse and craig are on this week's SNL. wonder if they'll play their submission.
 
Added another mirror to that link just in case.

Also, good news for us beavers, from @paulepworth:

All you eager beavers who think you heard the whole of skyfall? You just got the radio edit.. Gotta wait for 0.07 to hear the full thing....
 
Some heauxs over at MI6 are alleging ADELE will perform the theme live at the premiere in the Royal Albert Hall.

Please be true.
