Sounds like Marr isn’t quite finished working on the score.
I was hyped for the score now I'm practically salivating for it, having Marr aboard is such a coup, this should be the best score of the Craig era.
They are still sound mixing and that means they are, as per his words, still adding in more to the score. That's pretty normal these days.
Music is so subjective. I really love the song and the bold approach they have taken, but I can see why it might not chime for others. I do suspect that when the song is heard in context with the film and after, what appears to be a very dramatic and emotional pre-titles, the approach/song will make sense.
It's not fantastic but not worse either. Still lyrics and instrumental are good. Her whispering and mumbling isn't helping much to be honest. I feel song had potential but didn't quite reached to it.
It’s going to win all the accolades and be declared BY LAW as a definitive work of genius.
:)) Sure
I do like a good ol' cup of sarcasm now and then. Cheerio.
Nonetheless, the performance was all about Billie Eilish and she nailed it. Interestingly, both Eilish and Finneas have said they have seen NTTD. They speak very enthusiastically about it. I imagine their frame of reference for Bond are the DC films……hopefully this is another CR or SF!
This was me last night, trying to stay awake for her performance.
But I'm not insane enough to say she's on par with Bassey and him. She wouldn't say it either, I suppose. Besides, they're both national icons and heroes. One Welsh, the other a Liverpudlian.
I do like her song. I love the fact that Marr's doing the guitar bits throughout the film. I love Zimmer's enthusiasm. I like Finneas intelligent diplomacy in his interviews.
All and all, and considering what we could have got (perhaps a Danny Boyle film with a Sheeran song and a cliché set of russian baddies with a Samoan henchman - cringe!), I'm rather happy. Really am.
Even with all this hype around live performance, the song still does literally nothing to me. Incredibly bland.
Whether it’s a classic is something to be determined by the leathery sands of time.
Love the shout out to Fukunaga "Director really knows what he's doing".
The performance was great. I enjoyed it very much. Hope we get a snippet of the soundtrack soon.
Thanks for that! When you see the orchestra and Johnny Marr it does seem a shame it doesn't take off a bit more and use them! :)
Got me more excited now after watching that interview.
I’ve only begun.
Couldn't agree more mate @Univex
Except that it wasn’t.
It was instead the intro to Billie Eilish’s theme tune for No Time to Die. Perhaps others have noticed these remarkable similarities, similarities which do not end with the introduction. Further into the song a high point is reached by a melody strongly reminiscent of one in Sheryl Crowe’s Tomorrow Never Dies.
But, the words and music aside, Eilish really makes the song her own by contributing the dirge-like quality of her voice. Doubtless the Bond producers had their reasons for considering Eilish's song a fitting theme for Daniel Craig's 007 farewell. For many Bond fans, though, I suspect it will remain a puzzle worthy of an Agatha Christie or Conan Doyle sleuth. Hugely disappointing.
It is a really fine song, and interesting to hear that Marr was involved.
I'll have to buy my mate a pint, next time I see him, for giving us the text confirming she was performing the song on the Brits last month
Adele didn't film one because she was pregnant.
