Left as an orchestration it should be amazing, but I don't care for these lyrics all that much (at least the lyrics in this snippet).

[DamnCoffee]

I thought It was full but it isn't.

[DamnCoffee]

Anyone think that the opening bars are very FYEO!

[zencat]

Gave it a listen. Wish I hadn't as it isn't the full song. Between the Coke ad and this, I'm having a terrible first experience with this tune. But I guess it's my own fault for listening.

Think I basically like it. But the little Bond theme flares are lame and shouldn't be there, IMO. But maybe they aren't there in the real version?

[HildebrandRarity]

I have not heard a thing...nor do I want to unless it's in its entirety...and this from someone who has all but two (Dr No and LTK) of the soundtracks.

Do people here really believe that what you get in a soft drink commercial is what you'll get in Quantum Of Solace?

Yes, because it's the exact same song.

[MattofSteel]

Interesting song. Once I've heard it in full, and given it a decent number of listens, I'll weigh in with a judgment.

I'm hopping on that train. I've listened to the sample a few times, my opinion is already shifting itself about certain things. No more judgement from me until we get a full version:)

[Zorin Industries]

Can't anyone wait for anything these days.

There is a sentiment....patience draws the prize.

And I'll add another one - this sort of 'leaking' damages the goodwill towards the fans, perhaps this site and film-making in general. God, the song is premiered on the radio in two weeks and available to buy in a month.

I know these things are intriguing to us all, but until we hear the song in the context of the title sequence and the film itself then it really is pretty redundant judging it from a bootleg copy put online by a fan or employee who just wants the kudos of expose.

Yes, because it's the exact same song.

So you're saying what you heard is what we'll hear in the movie? Are you ing serious or are you ing out of your mind? Which one?

[DamnCoffee]

It's a different song. VERY different from your usual Bond theme. It starts off great, very Bondain. BUT there's something about it that's off. I cant put my finger on what. But there is definately something.

[jaguar007]

When I first heard YKMN I thought it was pretty bad, but it has become one of my favorite Bond themes - this one sounds pretty bad from the clip I just heard.

With all due respect to you, Zen, I think you have no one else to blame but yourself.

How about waiting for the final product to make a judgement? What a concept, eh?

Can we try to tone it down in here a little, please?

Some are getting way too worked up over this. There's nothing wrong with hearing a song and saying "That sounds weird," or "I don't like it," as much as there's nothing wrong with saying "Yeah, that sounds kind of cool."

There IS something wrong with saying "Song/trailer is crap, film is going to fail," but I don't think anyone is really making that argument here.

I agree context is a huge part of it, seeing it with the titles in the background will be a huge part of the FILM experience. But a song is a song, and should stand on its own in some respect. In that way, people should be allowed to comment on what they think of it when hearing it separately from the film.

[TheHildebrandRarity]

Its only a snippet, but its more than enough becuase the rest of the song will basically sound in that tune. I thought it was quite good, BUT I think this would had been far better if White had sung the song, rather than a duet, as Alica Keys sounds a little out of place, you can just tell its not her thing.

In my view it should had been just whites song, but I still like it.

This is VERY slowly starting to grow on me.

Look at the markets!

With all due respect Hilde, I find those types of comments more tiring than the ones that prompt them.

I didn't make a final judgment. I only judged what I hear in this this leaked version. And I even said the thing I don't like in this version may not be in the final song.

[Mr. Blofeld]

I would've liked it with the rock opening we heard in the Coke commercial, then the vocals, but it's growing on me...

By the way, can anyone identify the tinkly countermelody bit at the beginning of the song? The tune sounds so damn familiar...

The rock opening is there, turns out it's actually part of the chorus. But it's purpose seems to be more rythmic than melodic.

[Vauxhall]

Decent to see a reference to the movie title in some of the lyrics I guess. Was trying to figure them all out, but it was taking too long. White's voice is tough to decipher at times.

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one that will never see the sun shine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother in the nick of time
Another dirty money, heaven sent honey turning all the time

Oh, don't worry, we have all the time in the world...until October 29th

I'm with Hildebrand here. It's actually really damaging to the song and the goodwill between Eon and the fans (which is sort of represented by proxy here on CBN). We all want our own experience of the final film to be virginal - unsullied and pure. How does half hearing a ropy bootleg cut of the song aide that experience?! THEN people have the bravado (or stupidity) to bleat on about it not being good enough for the film - as if they have heard a decent copy of the song AND seen the final cut of the film.

A telling moment for the perception of Bond fans.

Not long at all now.

I like how they included the word "solace."
