IIRC, isn't that first bit Survival by Muse? ;;)
I actually think the TLD theme song (and score overall) is excellent. But in terms of Coldplay I just don't don't Chris Martin is a very good singer personally.
Chris Martin is a dreadful singer, whereas Bono even in his 50's still has a powerful set of lungs, Martin has a weedy voice his vocal on the U2 rip off Fix You is atrocious.
I certainly hope Cold Patrol or Snow Play get nowhere near a Bond theme, especially for SPECTRE which deserves something very special and the idea of Adele doing this again doesn't fill me with much confidence. This needs a sinister sound, Depeche Mode, U2 or Radiohead would kill this but Adele and Sam Smith I'm not convinced.
Q: Any idea yet who will be providing the theme song for “Spectre”?
Broccoli: We’re still figuring that out. That’s one of the last pieces in the puzzle. But it’s one of the fun things we look forward to… We’ve had a lot of interest from a lot of exciting people. It’s a long list and we’re working our way through it.
Looks like we will be made to wait.

This is the impression I got.
And let it be a sinister sounding or an intimate song.
Exactly. I am worried that Babs describes it as the last bit of the puzzle.
I want the title song to come before the score in terms of timeline. That way they can incorporate it into the score.
The score is also, naturally, one of the last bits of the puzzle. We shall see how it works out this time. If it is a strong and fitting theme, having it incorporated into the score has worked wonders many times before, so agree on that. But it is not a must, necessarily.
Johnny Cash's version of Thunderball...
Sincerely Yours.
I think the concept of what is the Bondian sound has coped with lots of variety of the years. With the right song I'm sure Sam Smith would do a decent job. But it does sound like it's still quite up in the air.
I liked the old way of doing things more, with the composer of the score having more of a role in the title song. Whenever they split the title song from the main composer you end up with a sub-par Bond score IMO.
Is there any suggestion that Newman might be involved in the title song this time?
