True. But those are even worse.

It struck me that, after coming across this effort again, were Paloma Faith to hit upon another tune - and arrangement - that's anything like her take on INXS's Never Tear Us Apart, we could be really in the money.
That said, I doubt there'd be a consensus view among the powers that be on hiring her for the gig, owing to her having next to no footprint in the US - or many parts of the world outside the UK. A shame, perhaps.
That would be perfect to have an uptempo song, to perfectly close the circle of Daniel Craig's 007 era
I stil would like a DM/Dave Gahan uptempo song
Another band to consider : Royal Blood
She has a great YouTube channel that edits together old movies with her music. They took her track "24" and did a Daniel Craig-era video. Which I adore....stick for that final shot:
While I’m leery of another ballad, if they do go that route, Lana would be ideal; she’s sexy, smart , sultry and seductive. They can’t go wrong with her.
Back in 2005 Tony Christie claimed, he had already written a theme song for CR. And Amy Winehouse also said, she had a song for QOS. But I think that YKMN was the right choice, whereas AWTD was really bad, and whoever would have given the job, would have come up with a better song than the one we got.
I keep checking out videos in this thread and I just can't hear Bond in most of them, so I write it off as me being out of touch and get ready for theme song disappointment. However that one finally has something right about it. Not exactly a ballad, more like a torch song and eerie with it.
I tried this one out. Nice educational video too.
She does a lot of up-beat and light-hearted songs, but just listen to her cover of “Everybody knows” that she did for “Justice League”. I can easily see arty silhouettes and Craig aiming his PPK with this one.
I recommend checking out more of her songs. She did Graham Norton show last year:
"It's just no time to die!"
On a more serious vein I would like to see Rita Ora do one! I think she has the pipes to pull it off!
Finally, I would love to see Michael Buble do one. As a fellow Canuck it would be cool to see this!
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Bryan Ferry
Dido
Alloe Blacc
Bat For Lashes
Based off the last two songs I think Sheeran is a depressingly plausible choice. I didn't hate SF or TWOTW but they were both pretty safe efforts imo. I want another YKMN. Something with more of an edge to it.
My pick would be Jorja Smith for any female ballad, her voice has a great presence that go well with the cinematic scope of the film. Plus her voice has a feel that would suit any theme about running out of time, if that's to be anything to do with the story of the movie
My only other pick would be the Artic Monkeys, they're brilliant and they could really knock a rock song out the park. Anything like Do I Wanna Know or Knee Socks from AM would be amazing, Do I Wanna Know especially. The only thing they'd have to change is to make their song writing slightly less personal, more global and more cinematic. I think they're talented enough to do that though
Alternatively, why not just blow away the ballad cobwebs with The Hives!
