Love the instrumental, especially when the heavy horns come in at 3m32s. Love the grandeur of that.

[@kennethMblake]

Sir. that was the reason that led me here.

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
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
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

2:14 that give me goosebumps

[@kennethMblake]

If you listen closely, you can still hear Sam during the quiet parts when the instruments take a rest. :(

[@SweatyCam]

Because it isn’t a studio instrumental, it’s been made using phase cancellation

[@susanclayton7280]

@SweatyCam.
I understood everything you just said... 😮

[@mr.crytics8225]

At 1:51

[@c.yordanov]

I can still hear the voice very quiety sneaks out. I'd say wihout his voice it sounds so much better.

[@tigerbalm9999]

Well done! Great job bringing out the orchestrals.

[@RamenLlama]

fantastic chords

[@DomoniqueStewart3936]

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
BUT ALWAYS HIT THE FLOOR
I'VE SPENT A LIFETIME RUNNIN'

Heavy horns

[@michaelkeaton5394]

The instrumental sounds so good without those lyrics...

[@JacquesFuller]

I agree. Smith’s singing voice is horrible.

[@bones9745]

i could sorta hear singing in the background, unless the voices are a fan of bond music

[@NickGeorgiou]

4:20 not an instrumental. You can hear vocals :D

[@nigel_soundtracks_osts]

The vocals unintentionally bled into the instruments track. This is a genuine instrumental.

[@Bilbucheron]

I'm glad the producers picked this over Radiohead. What a song.

[@thomasanderson2757]

As much of a Radiohead fan I am agree this song is better

[@Cinephilewannabe]

@@thomasanderson2757what was the first song choice?

[@AccipiterSmith]

But, the Radiohead song could have been a perfect end credit song if they want to.

[@AverageGooose]

​@@CinephilewannabeIntially, it was going to be "Man of War" but it wasn't picked because it wasn't made specifically for the film.
Radiohead then made a song for the film called "Spectre", which wasn't picked because they've already chosen Sam Smith's song by then.

[@JayB-JayB]

Sam Smith was a disappointment... Celine Dion would have been better for those high notes.

[@ashkankhodakarami6112]

radiohead's spectre was far better😢😢😢
