This would have been among the great Bond songs and remembered for long if it was chosen. It deserved it. I've listened to this many times. Thank you and congratulations on a beautiful song.
I know this was meant for QoS, but I do want to hear such wonderful music for future Bond films. We gotta bring that classic Bond sexy back!!! This song has a Mediterranean flair, so it makes me think that Bond will be back in Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, or w/e, kicking ass and getting the babes as usual!!!
Out of all the songs for Quantum of Solace, this is my personal favorite. I really do not know what EON were thinking, and the fact that they had three great songs to choose from; this song, Eva Almer's Forever and Shirley Bassey's No Good About Goodbye and they decided to go for Another Way To Die is just depressing. Thankfully EON didn't screw it up with Skyfall.
Thanks very much indeed Bacon! We were seriously hoping that this would be selected as the potential new Bond theme - sadly don't think this will happen now but we are still ever hopeful !
I loved singing the demo vocals for this song - I think its a lovely melody & lyric! Wish it had made the film, but was great fun recording it - hope that you are still songwriting Mark "Smasherhits"
Hi Jo I've only just found your comment from 4 years ago now🤗..I havent done much writing recently as I've had a bit of writers block for some reason but I would love to get back into it..You did such an fantastic job of this song..Its amazing how you literally just learned it that day and pulled off such a great performance..I hope you are still active musically too
Oh yes, what an amazing Bond theme. I can really imagine the opening animation to this songs. Green tree-like creatures moving through the picture and grabbing the screen in a way catching the rhythm (the company QUANTUM is said to be going green in the movie). Very Bond-like.
two words: bloody brilliant!! This is a great theme and i think we all have to agree, a 1,000,000,000 better that that alicia keys and jack white crap. i mean come on, it's like a rap song. the producers might as well stick a dress on bond and make him pick daisies throughout the film. the theme song is the key to a good bond movie. your song is excellent! that theme is up with the themes for goldeneye, a view to a kill, casino royale, and the world is not enough. 5/5mate!
A door left open, I wonder what I'll find, maybe a dog, maybe some coffee, if I were a firefighter, I'd be concerned, but I'm not and I see a phone on a table, and some man's by my side, I call for a pizza, he wants pineapple on it, I think it's cool, open the fridge and I gonna find, some beer, no we don't, ask my buddy to get some beer, I give him $20, a man I can trust, but he buys pot, the pizza isn't enough, I have mac and cheese, I think that's it's enough but its a horrible way to be high. DUH DUH DUH DUH du du DUUUH
This song was given to Dame Shirley Bassey's managers to be considered as a possible future recording by her but we were told "the song is nice but it doesnt have enough range for the Dame"
Actually I saw a documentary once on the history of the Bond themes and it was said that Cubby Broccoli wasnt actually that enamoured by some of the John Barry tunes and wanted to replace them with other songs but Harry Saltzman stopped him..Can you imagine if Cubby had replaced all those classic Barry themes? I dont even wanna think about it
Hi a big Thankyou for all your nice comments regarding this song..I think most people are upset with their choice of "Official" Bond theme for "Quantum Of Solace"..We approached EON and Amy Winehouse's management a couple of months ago with this track but never heard anything back..I doubt they even listened to it as we were told they usually prefer songs submitted through a music solicitor (lawyer}
Wow!! great sultry, sexy singer and what a Brilliant song..This composer makes John Barry sound like a 3 year old playing around with his mums pots and pans..pure Genius!!!
..he also said I might add that they are also tired of all the phone calls they've been getting from people like me complaining about the "official" theme tune which is presently at number 64 in the Billboard charts
I called EON just last week to voice my and others dislike of Keys/White song and to let them know about this song and the girl at reception refused to forward any emails I had sent re: the theme song to any of the powers that be and then she proceeded to put me through to security who told me in no uncertain terms to stop emailing and calling them regarding this and to get lost basically cause they're not gonna change it
I agree with you 100%. I have just replied to a message sent by smasherhits, and I said that all of us strong bond theme believers should make up the correctly fitting theme, like this one, and send it to the producers and beg them to change it before the revealing. What do you think? Will it be to late?
I disagree with some comments here..I think the present day Bond producers {Barbara & co} have made some very good desicions in recent years..one was bringing in Daniel Craig as the new Bond who I was a little skeptical of until I saw Casino Royale and also bringing David Arnold on board to score the films incidental music and of course compose the Casino Royale theme song which I really like..In my opinion they've made a huge mistake though this time choosing the White/Keys song for this film
I cannot believe Keys and jack white make a song to the new bond film and can't deliver.I have already heard 2 awesome songs that people have made that can be possibly for the opening of the bond movie.I mean We hire pro's to do it and we got all kinds of people out there that are way better than the pro's.All I got to say is what a shame.This is execellent man I hope something happens.Cause on opening day it makes the film look real dumb!
I think the last really great Bond theme was "Goldeneye". The rest up have either been okay, bad, or plain fucking awful. I don't think this theme would have suited a Bond film but it's miles better than the Alicia Keys and Jack White one I just heard.
This is so weak. Thought another way to die could do with stronger voiced singers (Emilíana Torrini?), or just get rid of Ms Keys. I'm actually glad it's a proper Bond theme rather than a soulless, boring and one dimensional dirge. Bond has moved on. So should the music.
Perfect, sublime

It's brilliant. Brings back memories of Diamonds Are Forever, For Your Eyes Only and All Time High. It's much better than the "official" song.

2:53-3:09 just simply melted my heart.

Great song. They should ask you to do the song for the next Bond Movie.
@@whackfaldado I would love that!

I never heard this before but its a great song ...very classy ....would have been fantastic for the 007 film ! ❤❤
Sublime~

This is pure old school Bond music, fantastic. It's a shame they didn't use this instead of Jack White's awful screeching.

Nov. 14? here in NZ it releases on Nov. 7. anyway, It's a shame that they won't replace it, but maybe we can send it to the next movie. Daniel Craig has signed up for three movies. "Casino Royale©", "Quantum of Solace©" and one more. rumor has it that it will be based on the novel by Ian Flemming, "Devil May Care©" So, we'll just have to change he words from Quantum of solace to devil may care.
Good job madam x
It's an Aston Martin DBS in Casino Royale.

Where can I get a download of this song? It's great and should've been the choice for the movie!!
craig should play niko bellic if there ever is a gta 4 movie :))
Can you tell me where I can get a download of this song? It's a great track!!!
Just replying to your message from 13 years ago..I can email you the Mp3 if you like

What email address
@@markdavies4612 Give me your email and I’ll DM you. Thanks for the song!

A View To A Kill was definitely the last great Bond song, though The Living Daylights and The World Is Not Enough were acceptable.
why would there be a movie lol?
DANIEL CRAIG LOVED ANNA SLESARENKO!!!
why isnt this the theme? alicia keys and jack white have just ruined bond
Please........make it stop

this fucking sucks i would have left the movies if this was the QOS song
