    ‘Writing’s On The Wall’ by Sam Smith, the official theme song from Spectre, performed live on the Graham Norton show.
    Lyrics:
    I’ve been here before
    But always hit the floor
    I’ve spent a lifetime running
    And I always get away
    But with you I’m feeling something
    That makes me want to stay
    Unprepared for this
    I never shoot to miss
    But I feel like a storm is coming
    If I’m going to make it through the day
    Then there’s no more use in running
    This is something I’ve got to face
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live?
    How do I breathe?
    When you’re not here I’m suffocating
    I want to feel love
    Run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    Cos the writing’s on the wall
    A million shards of glass
    That haunt me from my past
    As the stars begin to gather
    And the light begins to fade
    When all hope begins to shatter
    Know that I won’t be afraid
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live?
    How do I breathe?
    When you’re not here I’m suffocating
    I want to feel love
    Run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    Cos the writing’s on the wall
    The writing’s on the wall
    How do I live?
    How do I breathe?
    When you’re not here I’m suffocating
    I want to feel love
    Run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    How do I live?
    How do I breathe?
    When you’re not here I’m suffocating
    I want to feel love
    Run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    Cos the writing’s on the wall

      Well, I once had a lengthy discussion with someone who said that you can't actually hear auto-tune when it's used right, they even produced an article where some professionals claimed the same thing.
      If that's true, nearly all modern music producers must use it wrong.

    If the idea of “James Bond” could be summed up in one song, one melody to capture all the drama, all the suspense, all the romance, all the broken hearts and life on the edge, it would be this masterpiece written by Sam Smith. Using an orchestra is perfection, with all the crescendos and decrescendos that reflect the emotional roller coaster James Bond characters experience as well as the audience watching on the edge of their seats. Sam’s voice can only be described as a gift from the gods. This song covers me with goosebumps in the first 5 seconds. Beyond amazing. And kudos to Graham Norton for having a stage that can allow this masterpiece to shine as it should. His sound department is top-notch and the way the stage is setup and captured by the cameras is like you’re in a beautiful dream. Wow, wow, wow!!

      If you love this song from the movie of Spectre, then I highly recommend checking out the last Daniel Craig James Bond movie, which is, No Time To Die, and the song of that movie, is also called, No Time To Die. If you check out both the song and Daniel Craig’s last James Bond movie, again, as I have already said, and I dare to say this again, I highly recommend both the song and his last James Bond movie.

    The song....*LIVE*...the lyrics...the emotion...the orchestra...his eyes...his voice...certain songs just give you chills. This one has it all..."About 50 percent of people get chills when listening to music. Research shows that's because music stimulates an ancient reward pathway in the brain, encouraging dopamine to flood the striatum-a part of the forebrain activated by addiction, reward, and motivation. And that's where the chills may come in."

    Main reason why i love sam smith is not because of his good looks lol, is because he sounds the same in studio and live. I hate it so much when singers use so much autotune that they sound 100% different live from studio version. But Sam Smith seems as if he doesn't use any auto tune at all. Thats always been one of my favorite things about him.

    But always hit the floor
    I've spent a lifetime running
    And I always get away
    But with you I'm feeling something
    That makes me want to stay
    I'm prepared for this
    I never shoot to miss
    But I feel like a storm is coming
    If I'm gonna make it through the day
    Then there's no more use in running
    This is something I gotta face
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    Cause the writing's on the wall
    A million shards of glass
    That haunt me from my past
    As the stars begin to gather
    And the light begins to fade
    When all hope begins to shatter
    Know that I won't be afraid
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    Cause the writing's on the wall
    The writing's on the wall
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating

      Mohd Naufal mission impossible is meant to be an action spy film kind of
      James bond is meant to just be a spy film about secret organisations so naturally mission impossible is more exciting because it needs the action half of the movie
