Tre G. The 007 James Bond film: Spectre ( same name as this ost). Radiohead's Spectre was replaced for being "too dark", so Sam Smith's "Writings on the Wall" won that slot, respectively. :)
Writings on the Wall is not terrible, but it's really hard to compare to this. Radiohead are masters at infusing a depth of emotion into their songs. Haunting, melancholy, yet hopeful and tinged with a rays of bliss shining through.
I think it'd be cool if the vocals went with the smoothness of the song but it creates an echoing effect I feel like if James would be looking at his life of being filled with constant tragedy and death around him that following him, this could be great if it were in the movie with just Bond going through a moment and having either M (Judi dench) there or Vesper Lynd haunting him for guilt or something.
5:01 onwards sounds like it could be Daniel Craig's James Bond dying and him having his life flashing before his eyes. and The effect of what would and seeing the effect on MI6 after his loss and the burden that would be put on the next 007 to live up to the title. This is surprisingly deep and profound 800% slower and could totally fit a future bond film.
Beck Ironically enough, Radiohead were given the task of creating the song for the film Spectre, but after they made it, it was turned down because it was "too dark". Instead, we got a soppy, mediocre Sam Smith song. I agree with you, it very much suits a Bond film, but why they didn't think it was appropriate I just don't understand...
Beck I agree. It’d be cool if it was during a sequence where he has to sacrifice himself and then it could show him flashbacks of his past loves and losses leading up to the moment where he dies too as just another 00 in a long chain of agents.
You walk through the desolate plane of endless snow. Your cabin is about 200 feet away, and there’s a fireplace to keep you warm. Clumps of snow and needling ice start to chip away at your skin, but you no longer feel cold. You are imbued with purpose as you squeeze your eyelids together, and the gap between each step increases
