Very good! It will strike a few spirits! Quite Original! Love the part where the trigger finger part comes up! Very Cool! Cant wait to see it visually on screen with silhouettes after the pre-credit sequence! Revenge indeed!


When can we expect the official version hitting in? Long version?

I feel like the only person on earth who hasn't heard this

I felt the same thing until I saw your post. Take heart and cheer the fact that you're not making a judgement call on something that isn't even a completed product.

Lyrics for YKMN were changed. Music for YKMN was changed. The movie version was not the same as the 4:03 version released on the net...And, here, people are critiquing and analysing something that's, what, 1 minute in lenght? That's recorded off the radio? Where you have to guess the lyrics?

In a way i'm glad I have not heard this. I bet it's a trial balloon and that what we'll hear in the movie will be quite different.

Reminds me of when I was a child and I had a tape recoder up to the TV to record "Goldfinger" or "Thunderball" when it was shown on the ABC Sunday Night Movie.

Let me preface this by - what I heard is edgy - it does grow on you after multiple listenings - and I can easily see Arnold weaving the theme throughout the remainder of the music. I do like it - and I'm somewhat surpirsed that I do. I was not a fan (originally) of YKMN - but it did grow on me as well. I do agree that hopefully there is more to it than we heard - and its hard to judge without hearing the finished product. BTW - I am 54 years old - so I've been around for all the theme songs and I'm pretty open to all styles and approaches.

That said - I was disappointed because I was hoping for a more subdued song - I was hoping for something more like YOLT or DAF. I guess I was expecting this because the last film ended on the somber note and we knew this film was about the inner struggle of Bond addressing those issues. But - like I said - I do like what I heard and I can't wait to hear the final - full orchestra version.

I felt brave and decided to expose myself to this horrible torture one more time. This time I actually noticed how stupid the lyrics really are. I mean, it doesn't make sense... at all.

I'll reserve final and proper judgement until I've actually heard the whole song. Initial thoughts are: not wild on the lyrics, but the music is intersting - definitely better than Madonna's Die Another Day. I'm beginning to think I might prefer it to YKMN as well (which I wasn't wild on) and hoping it's there in the actual film sound track.

I also like the truncated description of Bond's situation at the start of the film in the chorus:

I'm gonna let it open (? Can't make out that first bit),

I think that's

A door left open

Hardly a first for a Bond song, though. I daresay incoherent, bizarre lyrics are par for the course.

You think AWTD will get 27,849,427 views and 29,332 comments on YouTube?

Somehow, I doubt it.

[NVT]

The real test will be the atmosphere that is created with the title sequence using this tune.
The audio quality and frequency effects the overall feeling of a tune. Something that is in stereo and clear enough where you can feel the vibes will have a positive effect. Different frequencies effect different states in your mind.

So that leaked version cannot really be commented on.

Does that matter?

[Mercator]

I have no understandings of the wordings. Is make none of sense, no? I have feelings that they should make Dame Bassey sing the zong before she has deathe. Why of why ken they not have the proper singers for to sing the 007. My idea was to have been to have write the wordings for the 007 Theme and then get Dame Bassey for to sing it. But this, this makes none of the sense. I have the like the beat tho - gets my tow taping.

I've been reading these forums a lot lately, and cannot help but notice the following:

Both YKMN and AWTD have been recieving these very negative first glance(AWTD)reviews and opinions... with people saying "the song doesnt live up to the greats..." "too commercial" "not bond" etc etc..

My question is: WHAT IS NEEDED??
- Too commercial?? isnt that the idea?...(i hate this but isnt that just how it has to be and always will be?)
- Not "bond"? what exactly is bond? Has "bond" ever truly been defined?
- The greats?? What did they do right,... are they right??

I think that now that we are transitioning into this new era with CR and QS, there needs to be less of a comparison to the past, and more a glance to the future and the present with the theme songs.

There no doubt will always be comparisons to the past songs.. but i can't help but say that both YKMN and AWTD made me smile because i could hear the "new" bond.. thats what i wanted in the first place and that is exactly what audiences wanted after the last 4. I dont want to hear a "live and let die" or "nobody does it better" or Goldfinger again.. they were then.. this is now. AWTD is catchy, lively and another example of what babs and mike are doing right!

Thank you White and Keys.

Exactly, like a moonraker searching for his heart of gold, undressing a diamond, a guy that strikes like thunderball, living's in the way we die, dancing into a fire, romantically killing you with a licence right through the heart and finding goldeneye's weakness?

Um, yeah, all of those make perfect sense...

[The Dove]

I just love it how everyone is being nitpicky about the lyrics.. Personally I couldn't care less.. My only wish was that the song would have been called "Quantum of Solace" but I can learn to live with "Another Way To Die" as a title, especially once I hear the song in context with the movie..

I know. Unfair, innit? My advice is to cope.

You're better off not hearing it. I am trying to save you.

Not really worth having the site shut down for... this.

[double o ego]

I hope to God they use the instrumental for the TS and then use the music with the vocals at the end of the movie. I'll be happy with that.

I'm lookin forward to hearing the full version of this. I definitly like it. It does what YKMN did in that its different to what came before it, but is still very Bond, which is exactly what Craig's tensure is

[HildebrandRarity]

Look it was never gonna please everyone, I just happen to be one of those who is delighted, next time maybe it will be your turn but it isn't going to change cause some bunch of fan boys are moaning, this is a lock now and it will be in some form or other be following after the PTS for QOS.
