Dire?! Ok, I don't like the fellas work as a rule anyway, but it's just not block bustery enough?!! (Yes, it is a slow day here)

Does it sound like all his other songs, that all sound the same?

LoseLooseLucy · 25/09/2015 12:12

Why the ellipsis?
Feel like a mouse lured in with a bit of cheese.

A little like the song.

MissFitt68 · 25/09/2015 12:12

How will we know until we see the film with it ? More impact with bond on the screen doing his thing

I also thought it was dire ,but then I don't rate him at all he always sounds very whiny to me .

LeChien · 25/09/2015 12:14

I haven't heard it, but I turn the radio off whenever one of his songs is on, they make me feel stabby! Can't stand his whiny voice.

ijustwannadance · 25/09/2015 12:27

It's shit. Slow whiney shit. But then I loved the white stripes/Alicia Keys one. Modern, funky but still very strong and Bondy.

poorbuthappy · 25/09/2015 12:28

Its no Skyfall

HookedOnHooking · 25/09/2015 12:29

It's shit. Whiney mumbly shit. Likehus other shit

StealthPolarBear · 25/09/2015 12:29

I really didn't like the 30 secs I heard earlier. Very whiny, almost like he's struggling to reach the notes. He's very overrated IMO.

I think that's what it comes down to isn't it Jeremy ? Whether you like Sam smith or not.

Thought it was very dull, and he doesn't exactly nail the falsetto, does he? Usual lush Bond theme production but not impressed apart from that

molyholy · 25/09/2015 12:39

It's a steaming pile of turd. I cannot bear his music anyway, but I was expecting something better.

SuperFlyHigh · 25/09/2015 12:41

I like 'Like I Can' but not sold on the other songs...

on BBC breakfast news this morning the presenters made a face after hearing the song/seeing a short clip. not sure whether in Shock at the song or not...

SoupDragon · 25/09/2015 12:43

I kept waiting for it to get going. It is totally dreary!

It's probably a nice enough song but its not a Bond theme song.

sherbetpips · 25/09/2015 12:46

the even worse Skyfall has won best Bond song ever and that was awful!

GloGirl · 25/09/2015 12:52

I can't hear it without installing an App!

it never gets going.

you keep thinking - this is it - its going to kick in, but nothing happpens.
its an ok sad song, melancholy which is what craig is as bond.

Sparklingbrook · 25/09/2015 13:09

I haven't heard it but think it's rubbish.

Everybody does it better than Sam Smith. Grin

Elendon · 25/09/2015 13:10

Insipid at best.

What was wanted really was a belter of a song.

Sparklingbrook · 25/09/2015 13:11

Just heard about five seconds on the News (why is this news). Sounds predictable.
