  That’s encouraging. You’d never have gotten Newman and Adele performing together.
  
  Hopefully its another sign its going to be a proper song / score integration this time.

  Zimmer having such involvement is very encouraging. I think the title song and score collectively will be a treat.

  So excited to hear this! A very big deal to be getting a new Bond song today, especially since it’s been 5 years.

  It's the exact same preview as Eilish gave us.

  Going by the sampling, it actually feels like the kind of tune that Zimmer would play in his score during poignant moments, reserving the chorus for the more significant moments.

  Fair enough! 15 minutes away!
  It's interesting, there never seems to be much activity in the community immediately before something is to be released... it's like a collective holding of breaths...

  Decent song better than the last one, though I was waiting for the track to step it up another level.

  I like it.
  
  Better than AWTD and WOTW for sure.

  This was exactly my thoughts - feels like it needed to go somewhere and somewhere big, but it never seemed to get there.

  +1. It’s in the middle of the Craig songs for me, below the great YKNM and SF. Absolutely good, but not elite.

  I LOVE IT :D
  
  I love the lyrics, I love the melody and I love its Bondian feeling! There seem to be a few nods to the Bond theme here and there, but I'd have to give it a closer listen. I'm looking forward to listening to it at the theatre while watching Kleinman's titles.

  Agreed. It's alright but it's lacking punch. Still better than Smith's BS.

  Well I’m relieved because I love it!

  Very good, but lacks punch. It needed drums and a beat. Slight missed opportunity.

  In case anyone missed it, she will perform it live at the BRITs with Zimmer and Marr next week

  I absolutely loved it!
  
  There isn't any Bond theme song I hate (I just don't think AWTD fits 007), so I don't think it is "better" than any of them
  
  But I loved it! The song is still growing on me of course, but It's a beautiful theme.
