    PS: I’m assuming everyone has heard the instrumental version, but if not, here it is (I strongly recommend headphones for this one)

    Wish they would refrain from using "official" when it's not.

    I think this cover by Feng E on ukulele is phenomenal.

    I’m fairly certain the instrumental I posted was obtained from Eilish’s team. It’s identical to the instrumentals in the finished song.

    It’s a good but not great song. I’m disappointed that it’s another ballad; In the past they’ve done a better job of alternating ballads with more up tempo songs.
    Craig came in with a roar accompanied by Chris Cornell; I was hoping that he would go out with one.

    What is with this Chris Cornell love? YKMN is bad...it's only made better by having Kleinman's inventive visuals. Otherwise, the song has aged hideously. It's a generic, bland bit of Dad rock.

    Cornell's voice is so much more powerful when he's singing ballads and not shouting and trying to sound all tough. The weakest part of CR is the anonymous and forgettable title song. It just felt like an afterthought.....I even think Sam Smith's song blew it out of the water.

    Meanwhile, Billie Eilish's song is close to perfect. It's haunting, atmospheric, emotional and actually impactful. Her vocally performance is so sincere and beautiful. It's both intimate and epic.

    I haven't seen it in the context of the film yet (obviously), but pending the title sequence and how Zimmer incorporates it into the score. It could be the best of the Craig era.

    I think so too. I've listened to them both quite a bit over the last few months. It sounds pretty official to me.

    Anyone knows what this is? Zimmer? Instrumental version of the Billie track mixed with the Bond theme. Apparently I'm also late to this party since it was posted 3 months ago. Either way, it's actually really good.

    If that’s not Zimmer, it’s a very good impression. In fact it’s actually the kind of style of integration of Eilish’s song that I would expect from him.

    Really really loved it. You can tell they took this seriously, opposed to Smith. Can't wait to see it with the intro. Well done

    It was crap. Took it seriously? You have to be kidding. It's cliche ridden, made up of John Barry's left overs for the umpteenth time!! [/quote

    @billieellishsucks ...

    Great introduction to the forum... Welcome... kick doors in guns blazing... Going by your username I'm sure there's no axe to grind!! Of course not! Ha-Ha-Ha.............

    BTW, I do like the NTTD music, the song, the theme... Guess I'm an idiot...!

    Republicans are waaaay too uptight and sexless to tolerate Cardi B singing about horny women. That said, I got a big laugh out of idiots like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro showing absolute befuddlement over Cardi B's music. I feel bad for their wives. :))

    I'm a sucker for picture discs so that is a must have for me. New Bond films are always expensive for me - new soundtrack albums, new poster, new behind the scenes book, etc... not that I'm complaining, mind you!

    I'd pull the trigger on it but I've still not heard the song. Been trying to wait to hear it in the film but part of me wants to go ahead and check it out so I can get my hands on this while it's available.

    If it's worth having in your Bond collection whether you end up liking it or not I'd say it's still a safe purchase, and then just don't listen to it until after the film is out.

    Oh! Thank Goodness, I thought I was alone. I've still managed to abstain from the song as well, coz I want to hear it for the very first time with Kleinman's visuals, so it leaves a lasting impression on me.

    Fair play to anyone who hasn't listened to the song yet!

    Pre-ordered the picture disc! I typically don't collect singles on vinyl but Bond is an exception.
