Written and performed by Sam Smith. It's on Spotify though. I'm off to work soon so it's up to someone else to find a better link.

It's definitely no "Skyfall", although it tries hard to be. It has all of the elements: lush orchestration, key changes, minor chords, and dramatic transitions.

It just misses. Smith and his writers should have tried something completely different. They tried to write "Skyfall II", which, IMO is a top 3 Bond song. Although they didn't whiff, it was certainly a foul tip into the catcher's mitt (maybe I should have used a cricket reference?).

Justin Timberlake's falsetto has nothing on Smith's.

I fricking hate Sam Smith like I hated Sarah McLauklin. Put a god damn sad dog commercial behind any of his songs and you are pretty much forced to be sad and donate money. frick this sad song singing mother fricker.

yea, I came in here pretty jacked up, and left pretty disappointed. I'm just not feeling it. The dramatic impact moments just feel flat. I just don't feel like his voice fits for a Bond film as well.

Song is weak.

Would be better with Idris Elba.

Heard it on the radio. It's awful for bond.

They've turned bond into some metro-homosexual-emo thing. Wtf.

On a different note I don't know why so many people hate the Jack White song from Quantam...I liked it

Edit: just listened to this Sam Smith one and I do not like it. Doesn't sound Bond at all

One of the worst Bond songs ever. Super disappointing, especially after Skyfall.

It is pretty bad IMO.

Basically no chorus, he mumbles too much, and absolutely ZERO payoff.

fricker can hit the notes but he sounds terrible. It's like he has marbles in his mouth when he sings that falsetto part.

As a song, it's solid. As a Bond theme, it was different. Personally I liked it. It was easily the worst of CR, QoSm and Skyfall though. In all fairness though, CR and Skyfall were damn good.
