Thanks :) Great track from Adele

Thanks!! I enjoyed it. I'm not an Adele fan, but this song is quite good and perfectly fits the mood of a Bond film. The orchestral background is really great!! I found the main melody quite simplistic though...

Thank You

About the upcoming score, i thought David Arnold is doing it but i learned that Thomas Newman will be doing it instead, now that's interesting.

yay.

Thank you very much

Thanks.

Agreed. The melody is simplistic, but I'd say it's a definite improvement over that awful song from "Quantum of Solace."

Anyone else in agreement that "You Know My Name" is the absolute greatest Bond song yet?

View to A Kill, hands down the best Bond theme to date! Adele's new theme is fantastic though! A much needed true "Bond" theme!

Watched the YouTube vid with the nifty lyrics half a dozen times now and yea... I like it.

Well done. 'Dele did us right.

Can't wait to see the film.

Adele's 'Skyfall' Theme Leaks Before 0:07 Release - Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1694976/adele-skyfall-theme-leak.jhtml)

Adele's 'Skyfall' Theme Leaks Before 0:07 Release
Singer's mystery inhabits sexy James Bond theme, released before Friday's planned debut.

Adele's sweeping, theatrical and moody theme for "Skyfall" has leaked Thursday (October 4), ahead of its official Friday release.

Adele's vocals are dangerous and sexy, as the orchestra peaks and swells behind her. The song certainly has a classic, hazy Bond vibe to it, as the diva proclaims, "This is the end/ Hold your breath and count to 10/ Feel the earth move and then/ Feel my heart burst again." The experience will leave the listener more stirred than shaken as every Adele's voice glides over deep cellos and a haunting choir.

Much like the famed spy, Adele's Bond Girl is a pretty mysterious creature. She sings, "Skyfall is where we start/ A thousand miles and both apart/ When worlds collide and things are dark/ You may have my number/ You can take my name/ But you'll never have my heart."

As the song reaches its end, Adele's voice climbs and soars over the wall of sound. And then, the music drops out in a big jazzy fashion with the singer holding one last note.

It was originally slated to drop at 0:07 London time (which in U.S. time is at 7:07 p.m. ET) on October 5. However, a French radio station let it out of the bag a little early. Earlier this week, fans were treated to a snippet of the song, which was recorded at the famed Abbey Road studio in London. On it, the singer gets an assist from producer Paul Epworth and a 77-piece orchestra.

"I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song ... there's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a 'Bond' song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track, and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer," Adele said in a statement on Monday. "When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I'll be back combing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day."

In an interview with the BBC, Epworth chatted about the track, noting that "Adele's performance is really jaw-dropping."

"The initial chords happened quite quickly, but we spent a few months shaping it, tweaking it," he continued. "A song like this has to have a gravity and dynamic rather than [be] an instant pop song. Hopefully it's got lasting value."

For fans wanting to celebrate all things Bond ahead of the November 9 opening of the Daniel Craig-starring "Skyfall," October 5 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the first Bond film, "Dr. No." It will be known as "Global James Bond Day."

Anyone else in agreement that "You Know My Name" is the absolute greatest Bond song yet?

It's great; it's no "Goldfinger" or "Diamonds Are Forever" or "Live and Let Die," though.

With her voice I was hoping Adele would channel Shirley Bassey, which she sorta did, but instead of belting out a Goldfinger type song she crooned a Moonraker type song.

Still like it though, and it's growing on me with each listen. Can't wait to see it play over the titles, but I guess the music video will be out beforehand.

Starts off calmly, then becomes dramatic, like Garbage's THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. Brilliant. At last, a song that sounds like it was made for a movie. I wonder if that motif is connected to Thomas Newmnan's score, or is it independently written again?

I like Bond songs that are co-written by the score composer.

Thanks for the tune...
