It is also on soundcloud - the 3.50 version.

Sounds superb, very stirring.

Although I too am getting taken outside the drama of the song when the choir breaks into something about an apple and rubarb crumble, or some such. Very discouncerting.

But otherwise, truly splendid.

Well like the Borg in Star Trek say, "Resistance is Fuitile!! " :D I caved and listened...Oh wow!! Sure the backing chorus does take some getting used to, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.. Only another 2 hours and 15 minutes to go!

Looking forward to hearing in better quality: sounds a bit hollow in that recording somehow.

I would prefer her to belt it out a bit more in the last verse. I like her soulfullness the first couple of choruses but a big bang would be good.

It's faintly comedic, isn't it? :) 'WHEN IT CRUMBLES!' Even the Pet Shop Boys' choir singing 'GO WEST!' is easier to take seriously!

Heard it properly now. Wow. Definitely a huge step up from AWTD. It's tied with YKMN right now. The choir is a bit odd.

Good stuff. Is what it is. Not loving the backup chorus.



...Eagerly awaiting a Baptist Church Choir rendition...

Yeah - I think Adele's voice is not requiring a back up chorus as she has enough punch to do the job herself.

Anyway, full version without the hollowness.

What I am absolutely sure of though is that, when this is playing in the cinema with Daniel Kleinman's visuals, it will be a stand up, hands down triumph.

Quite nice, but wonder if the background chorus was needed, last bit of orchestration reminded me of TWINE BY GARBAGE.

I kinda like the background singers on first listen. But then, I'm a bit of a sucker for the 60s ...

I'm really psyched to hear this over the title sequence. I'm sure it'll bring down the house.

I definitely like the song, though I'm still deciding what to think about the choral echoes. They're a bit "Gonna Fly Now."

Perfect! Definitely makes up for Jack White's sub-par theme. I can definitely see where the "generic" comments are coming from but this is exactly what I wanted for the 50th Anniversary. This film is going to be huge. I can feel it already!

One hour to go to the full version...

I'm guessing the track will be extended with a longer instrumental after the last chorus and before the final flourish.

Just got in from the pub. I can see a lot has happened since my post earlier - so that wasn't the full version.
Just when I thought this wasn't going to get more exciting.
