@n8zog5842 ай бұрын
@@SparklRebel honestly i do have a problem with the vocalizations. They were a turn off. I think the vocals in this song had too much lilt and throat preassure behind them for a James bond theme... it sounds overdramatic in a depressing way and unlike skyfall theres no courageous upswelling to contrast that sadness. It just gives this impression that 007 is a spineless wimp throwing a pity party. That's just my impression though. The instrumentals and the words themselves were awesome. When all is said and done I cant believe that studio exec's would just SCRAP IT rather than workshop it further. Yet I can understand why this was scrapped if Radiohead was unwilling to compromise on the tambre of the singer's voice. Radiohead being radiohead, I could see them being uncompromising in their artistic vision.

People argue that Smith's theme isn't bad as a piece on its own, and I do agree that it's not a bad song at all, which is why I'm fine with it winning an award. But on that note, Madonna's theme isn't an unbearable piece either. I'd be fine listening to "Die Another Day" at the local karaoke bar. Doesn't mean I think it suits Bond. "Writing's on the Wall" simply wasn't made with the same passion for Bond as Radiohead's piece (nor was "Die Another Day" for that matter). The harmonic chord movement (as mentioned in this video) in almost every Bond theme, even in Radiohead's "Spectre," isn't clearly presented in "Writing's on the Wall," and while it has the F minor (add 9) moving to A-flat major 7 which conveys a delicacy and vulnerability that I do quite like and is characteristic of Smith's music, it simply doesn't cut it as "Bond" to me. Like "Die Another Day" was a Madonna song rather than a Bond theme, "Writing's on the Wall" is a Sam Smith song, not a Bond theme. It didn't fool me, nor did it fool anyone else, as it's not regarded well as a Bond theme, but more as a nice attempt at making a contemplative song. As said in this video, Radiohead's Spectre is a Bond theme first and foremost, and a Radiohead song second. I don't think Smith was genuinely trying to redefine the standard for Bond themes, because I don't feel like giving the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he actually cared enough to preserve the motifs of Bond themes.

Someone needs to make a video of songs written for James Bond that were rejected for one reason or another. Ace of Base wrote this for Goldeneye but it didn't work out (I think it was Ace of Base's label that couldn't work out a deal?). They changed the lyrics from "The Goldeneye" to "The Juvenile", but the music is unmistakably Bond. There is a version out there that actually has the Goldeneye lyrics, but it is a demo and the music isn't nearly as complete as this The Juvenile. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpDWYnqriM-fY6s

It seems that Adele's skyfall was also near the height of her popularity.

It's amazing how powerful it is. It's not something that I think about all the time, but since it came out it has been one of the most consistent experiences that I think about. I love the song to death, which I came to know from this video, and I listen to it regularly, but this video is something else. I've never cried listening to Spectre, but from the half a dozen times I've watched this video, I didn't cry only on the first time. I don't quite know how to describe it. The narration with the heart wrenching melody and harmony just make feel like no song by itself was ever able to. Every couple of months or so ai come back here, and every time, it sticks with me for a while.

They wrote the best ever Bond theme. “You know my name” was perfectly apt for the reimagining of Bond with Daniel Craig. (Written & performed by the late great Chris Cornell) Radiohead wrote them a theme that pretty much outclassed the film. It takes the title of the film and creates a true story of Bond, almost a psychological explanation of his mind set. “My hunger burns a bullet hole, spectre of my mortal soul” how perfect it that??

Though Radiohead's version would have suited perfectly for Craig's Bond, I wouldn't say its the best Bond theme. In the end, the Bond movies are a collection of simple yet classic and entertaining agent movies. Most often there is no shading of good and bad and Bond is far less nuanced than Craig's version is. I feel the perfect bond theme should resemble that and thus Shirley Bassey's iconic songs will be on top in my opinion. Or if I'd want to be edgy, I could very well go with Paul McCartney :D Jokes aside, Radiohead is a masterpiece but sometimes a genius goes too overboard for the general.

@@t3ss33 I think Goldfinger was as a theme, for your eyes only is great. Thom Yorke said “Nobody does it better” is possibly the sexy track around. (Radiohead do a good cover of it) Golden Eye announced a new style of Bond theme to a degree. A view to a kill was brilliant because they were able to use part of it as a slower instrumental backing in the film. However, Bond themes traditionally contain the title of the film, Radiohead did that but integrated it more. Though, it has to go on record, this version is what Radiohead released after they rejected it, Thom & Jonny said “we got it back and made it more of a Radiohead music track” So you could wonder what they submitted but we probably won’t hear it as they’re happy with this version. Jonny has done the whole score for a number of films now and was, bizarrely, he BBC’s composer in residence for a while. Which actually means he would have worked on the score for many programmes but if the pieces didn’t have lyrics he would go uncredited. Either way his track suits Daniel Craig’s Bond particularly as it ties to his version. In terms of perfection “You know my name” was a great piece of work, because we know the name so well. It was almost a “Did you miss me?” I’m a bit of an oddball when it comes to Bond themes because I don’t go for the big brass section ones so much. I prefer the more atmospheric ones.

"Supremacy" is such an underrated song. The best part is you don't even need to edit the song to fit into a Bond movie. You just use the song as it is. The opening lines "Wake to see, your true emancipation is a fantasy" fits so well with the overall Bond arc along with the violins, the bass line and the all powerful "SUPREMACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...". I don't know whether MUSE created this surprisingly fitting Bond theme by accident. Anyways, we got this masterpiece. So, thanks MUSE.

If anyone thinks it's because they chose Hollywood over underground bands are dead wrong. Some artists that have been rejected for Bond films in the past include Alice Cooper for Man With the Golden Gun, Muse for Skyfall, Blondie for Your Eyes Only and Johnny Cash for Thunderball to name a few. Radiohead did have a good attempt but Sam Smith killed it with Writing's On The Wall. The music, the lyrics really fit the film perfectly.
