Similar? The parts of the song I did use in this piece are dead on and note for note...

The reason I'm so certain is b/c I had access to a fairly official midi file and sheet music.

Thanks :)

Yup.... This arrangement of the theme was done from scratch, by me using my samples and equipment....so yeah, music by... well.. Me :). Make no mistake, Im not taking credit for composing this theme, that credit goes to Adele and Phil. Of course the title and video description should make this fact fairly clear.

The chorus sounds different to me. Ends on a different phrase to the song.

Very modern and very Bond. No need to say more.
It is of the same high quality I've come to expect from you...

Absolutely fantastic work Rich.

Excellent work as always. I loved the Bond theme at the beginning - that'd make a very powerful gun barrel!

Better than the original. I personally cannot take Adele's voice seriously.

And this version has a certain 80s feel. This is not a bad thing.

Version 2.0... now with vocals from the young and extremely talented Kristy Campbell. What a fun experiment.
