Exactly....that's what am striving towards.
Now The Hoff will feel deeply hurt. Weevil. You loath Hans Zimmer. You loath Billie Eilish. Fine. But maybe you should actually slow down your rants. It's a fact. Billie Eilish sings the song. And Hans Zimmer wrote the score. That's also fact. Oh, and I do live happy in my sad little world. Booze, pills and other drugs (E, Meth) do light up my personal sadness.

We never would have known.
That’s a ridiculous length of time for the PTS especially if it involves romancing as well. The PTS should be short with something the villain is up to, then the music then Matera at some point.
Yeah, NTTD is a beautiful song but as I’ve said, I really think the part where the tempo quickens and Eilish sings higher should last longer. The chorus should be sung again “fool me once, fool me twice” in a higher voice accompanied by the whole orchestra. I feel like the song falls short. It’s a pity. Still, a lovely song.
I agree. I think Zimmer is the saving grace on this song. His contribution to it will no doubt become more evident during the soundtrack itself, when the song will take on a whole new level as its weaved within the score.
My rankings for the Craig Bond songs are now -
CR - YKNM is one of the best in the series.
SF
NTTD
SP
QoS (just awful)!
Well, Eilish likes the new film so that’s a good sign. ;)
My ranking exactly 👍
And nobody can really say how many Bond fans like the song or not. These forums are no indication, and neither is the chart success.
Yes, and because it´s a fact I am allowed to comment on it, like everybody else here is commenting on it too. This is a forum where people post their thoughts, positive or negative. If you read any of my posts in general you know I don´t whine over mere speculations, like some other individuals are in the habit of. I generally try to get objective information before I post comments. And now I´m in a situation where I want to enjoy the coming Bond film, my cineastic intuition (which was very correct already after the first trailer of SP) tells me it´s going to be much better than the last film, but objective information (i.e. the audible existence of the song) tells me I have to sit through an (IMNSHO) offence of a title song, plus the orchestrations of said title song strongly indicates accompanying sounds not to my liking and probably too loud to be ignored throughout the film. So go ahead and try to stop me from whining or ranting. While you´re at it, why don´t you tell everybody else to stop getting excited too? What problem do you have with an opinion not conform with the masses?
Or at least make comments that are really funny.
Yes it's really nice to see Zimmer just embracing other artists and drawing them into the process. I find this massively reassuring. Arnold was brilliant at this when given the chance - CR is a great example. But Monty Norman sort of created the template with Dr No when he brought in Byron Lee for the Jamaican flavour. The Living Daylights is another standout example with A-ha and The Pretenders both making massive contributions.
I think the score is going to be really enjoyable for all us Bond nerds. Zimmer knows what he's doing and he seems to have a really refreshing lack of monster ego.
Yeah, as big a Composer as Zimmer is, he's always open to collaborations....it just gets to show he must have looked back at old Bond Scores....knowing Collaboration is needed in a Bond Score for it to come out ontop. And Zimmer's a Composer who replaced a Composer & yet still Collaborated with the Singer & other Musicians & Composers....the other fella, was a Composer who didn't replace another Composer, and was also chosen very early in the production & yet decided to do his own thing. Can't wait for NTTD's Score....it's been a while we've seen so much unity in the scoring process of a Bond film. Zimmer asking someone like Johnny Marr to join him, means Zimmer knows what Bond is all about.
The whole point of the song is to create buzz. It has done that--from a popular and critical standpoint. That is a win-win. Big time. If you don't like the song, fine. That is your prerogative. But just like so many things that are openly discussed on these boards, one's personal taste doesn't amount to jack squat. I am reminded of a great line from Willem Dafoe in To Live and Die in L.A.: "Your taste is in your ass."
So just plug your ears during the titles. 90% of the audience will enjoy it whether you are listening or not.
I think the producers couldn't have picked a better artist based on that, coupled with the timing of her own career exposure at the Grammys and Brits.
Exactly. EoN have pulled of a blinder in choosing Eilish.
And if those are not your cup of tea either, have a pee break in between the PTS and the rest of the film. You're not missing anything truly important.
For everyone else, myself included: enjoy your opening credits.
The song also has as many likes as Sam Smith's WOTW which was posted over five years ago.
I don't have a problem with you diskliking Billie Eilish, the song and Hans Zimmer. Taste is something individual. But it is your ranting at other users for them posting they like the song on a personal level, I have a little problem with. You suggest, those people have no taste for music or don't have a clue, what music should be about. And you even say, that Eilish and Zimmer are no "artists". I would never go as far as to say, that Sam Smith is not an artist and does not know how to write and sing a song, just because I don't like the song that much. Same goes to Alicia Keys and Jack White. Both are indisputed great artists and good singers and composers, and I would never question that they are, just because I am not into AWTD.
But never mind, I will ignore your postings from now on and recommend you to do the same with my postings.
I love this :)
Already in this thread people have difficulty to tolerate one little guy who doesn't like the song. And you want me to close my attention off during a part of the actual film.
Maybe it's a thing of this generation who get conditioned to pee breaks by tv shows. I grew up with and am very fond of the culture to watch a film from start to end.
Again: If you want argue that taste doesn't matter, then you have to altogether stop posting anything at all here.
