    That's wonderful; I'm not familiar with that one. I saw them at the Albert Hall with full orchestra a few years back- it was excellent.

    It's not a very original idea but I've always thought Lovely Head sounds very Bondy too.

    Yeah, the track is cool. Oh, you experienced them live? Brilliant! Yeah, Lovely Head also sounds Bond. Like much of the Felt Mountain album. They said the album was influenced by John Barry's Bond scores. I don't think they need any supervision at all...if hired. They clearly know the Bond sound. The only thing that surprises is, I can't believe they're yet to do a Bond theme.

    Quite funny story in the news this morning with Lana Del Ray singing the Bond theme she wrote for Spectre but was rejected.

    They honestly picked the worst choice for Spectre. Incredible.

    I don't like Writing on the Wall at all, but this song feels like lots of ideas kind of stuck together, if you know what I mean. There's nice bits, but it's really slow and I kind of lose interest during it; a nice idea pops up, then it goes really slow, then there's another nice little idea...
    I don't feel like I missed out hugely with not having this one: Radiohead is still the real sucker punch.

    I couldn't agree more. Radiohead's Bond theme was so good. You feel the Radiohead style and still feel the Bond style.

    For Del Rey, I prefer Swan Song to 24.

    The Radiohead song was great. Hadn't heard Lana's before. I did read that Ed Sheeran had done a theme for NTTD. A secondary theme at the end performed by him or another artist would've been great.

    24?
    Maybe a theme more suited to Jack Bauer? 😁

    Still pulling for Noel; he could do for the next actor what Chris Cornell did for Craig, begin his era with a bang.

    I really like this one, it definitely has a Bondian flavour, it's dramatic, her vocals are great and the music at around 1.50 is cool, reminds a lot of Dr No weirdly.

    I'm not the biggest fan of WOTW for Spectre, although the instrumental was excellent. I want the next Bond song to be an up tempo rock song, but I'd like Lana to give it another shot in the future

    It gets a little more interesting at a faster playback speed, but I agree, too slow, interesting ideas though.

    Name song 24 have fit Spectre with already 24 elements and it be 24th movie, but i have rather have 25 song for NTTD

    The 24 like to refer to time/24hrs so in that case song also have fit better to NTTD whyle with Spectre preview what to come if there have used it. Whyle it also fit with QOS. Trust issues with M/Mi6 and Beam/Felix (CIA) and Mathis death.
    There's only 24 hours in a day
    And half as many ways
    For you to lie to me, my little love
    There's only 24 hours in a day
    And half of those, you lay awake
    With thoughts of murder and carnage

    If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas
    Be careful of the company you keep

    There's only 24 hours
    And that's not enough
    To lie like you lie or
    Love like you love

    There's only 24 hours in a day
    And half of those you lay
    Between the sheets with me, my lying love
    There's only 24 hours, so you'd say
    For most of them you pay
    For all the things they paid you for, my love

    If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas
    Be careful of the ones you choose to leave

    There's only 24 hours
    And that's not enough
    To lie like you lie
    Or love like you love

    Give me your heat
    Give me your diamonds
    You hit that street
    And my crooked words
    You count to three
    While they're all dying
    You're hard to reach
    You're cold to touch

    La-da-da-da-da-da
    La-da-da-da-da-da
    La-da-da-di-da-da-da
