    I liked the last 2 personally but we needed a big ballad for the 50th and from this preview it sounds very promising, seriously the best since TWINE someone said? That sleep inducing dirge!

    I think this could be the best since TLD for me. I don't remember any of Brosnan apart from G.E sounding Bondian this certainly does, will look forward to hearing it full.

    Yes, it is Garbage, isn't it? Do you see what I did there? =))

    So AWTD is better than TWINE? Sorry I know lots of people on here don't like the Brosnan films but really? At least TWINE has a melody.

    Yes it is in my personal opinion I might be a little biased being a big Jack White fan although AWTD is the worst thing he's ever released but I really hate TWINE it just so boring and sleep inducing.

    I think the Arnold with Don Black get people thinking it's a classic but Garbage's delivery is dreary and uninteresting, AWTD starts off QOS with a bang and Jack White is more talented than Arnold, yeah I said it!

    Sounds great and more Bondian than anything I've heard attached to a Bond film in ages. Can't wait to hear it in its entirety as it's definately building into a powerful climax.

    Yes...I thought that was great...

    Same here! So amazing!

    And I'm sure the song gets even better later!

    I have a feeling the full song will leak before Friday.

    Indeed. I wasn't even expecting to hear this much, but once those gates open...

    I'm a big fan of Jack White too but apart from the cool riff at the start AWTD is awful from start to finish. TWINE sounds big and bold to me, not boring.

    I actually like this preview of 1.29 seconds, Adele does bring the excitement back for me when we talk themesongs.

    Bond fans unite. I even felt "partiotic", despite being dutch ;)

    Just don't know where to upload it.

    Not to mention Marketto probably has it mirrored eighty different places now.

    Enjoy!

    Ooowh! My! God! And indeed...God heard my wishes! THIS is what I mean with a James Bond title song! I think it's time for a second Bond song hitting number one in the charts. And I think that could very well be 'Let The Sky Fall'. Oscar-material!!

    I am wondering if using the Bond theme in the song automatically disqualifies the song for an oscar nomination as it uses material previously published. Just a thought...

    This song is going to be a hit.

    TWINE had a romantic theme going on that did not suit Garbage's style. I'm sure if Adele herself sang the TWINE tune it would be 100 times better.

    You can record it while playing it on your computer.

    I like it as it is. It's my favorite of the Brozzer era. Not better than YKMN though.

    Based on the 90 sec sample I've heard, I have to say BIG disappointment. Is this the best they could do for the 50th. My initial response is that this song is just dull. Yes there are a few Barryisms in the orchestration but that isn't enough in my opinion. The melody is just so bloody bland. I'll reserve further comment until I've listened to the complete song at the end of the week. But I'm not impressed so far.

    When she sings "we will stand tall, and face it all, together", could she be foreshadowing the fact that Bond and M will have to "stand tall" and face the threat posed by Silva "together"?

    For some reason I feel like the lyrics have something to do with Bond & M.

    I'm also getting a bit of a GoldenEye feel to it, maybe it is the slower pace of the song?

    Well that was quick wasn't it??? You can bet I'm buying this one as soon as it's available. I live in the States, I'm hoping it's going to be available on October 5th also?

    Yup, it is going to be a hit. I simply adore it. It's like a sultry mixture of 'Moonraker', but then simply better. What Chris Cornell, Jack White and Alicia Keys couldn't do, Adele can do easily: Become part of the 'Hollywood Walk of Bond Song Fame', together with Dame Bassey, Carly Simon, Nancy Sinatra and Sheena Easton. I am astonished. Really....shocked actually, how much I like this song!!
