It's sang by Alicia Keys and Jack White. This song is the first theme song for a 007 movie that is a duet (i.e. has 2 people singing it). Have you heard it? I think it's called, "Another Way to Die." If you've heard it, what do you think of it? If not, tell me if you care to hear it.

I heard it when I went to see the movie last weekend, PearlGrace. I enjoyed it.

How's your ankle?

Hi Transdisc. Wow, that is thoughtful of you to think of my ankle. It's doing pretty well. I'm getting to the end of my second week in the boot cast and just have one more, so that's good. The pain has lessened and the swelling is down. I tried on a shoe yesterday, but it was a "no go." It just wouldn't fit.

I hate to say it, but I'm starting to get used to that darn boot, even though it throws off my body mechanics quite a bit and makes my back sore! I can walk at a good pace. I've gotten 6,000-7,000 steps a couple of days, even though I'm wearing that thing. (I wear a pedometer.)

Thanks for your comments and concern. Take care.

Yes I heard it when I watched the movie. Alicia Keys was good but I could hardly hear Jack White. I think he only worsened the song to be honest. First off, the fact that I couldn't tell a guy was singing until my friend told me who the singers were is kind of sad. Second off, the parts that I could make out his voice in, he was pretty weak.

Overall, it was an okay song. I didn't necessarily love it but I didn't hate it either.

I do not know who Jack White is but I agree that his voice certainly didn't stand out. I think one problem in the theater is that they played the movie so loudly that the music was somewhat distorted. Thus, I couldn't hear how it sounded because it was blaring!

I heard it when I saw the movie this past weekend. I have to say I really liked it they did an outstanding job on it. Just goes to show that the tradition goes on :) Great movie by the way as well. My fiance loved the cars :D

Hi Amanda. I thought the movie was pretty good but the car chases were just nuts! Really got the adrenaline pumping, huh? Thanks for your comments and take care.

I was reading in a magazine, it may have been Entertainment Weekly, but I don't know. Anyway, the reviewer said the new James Bond song was one of the most forgettable and unappealing Bond theme songs ever. But I'd like to hear it before I make up my own mind. It can't be that bad.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PearlGrace (1880)   ranked 775 out of 8,288 in listening to music  4 years ago

I really like Alicia Keys and I think she did a good job with it. I know that the reviewers talk about the "curse of the Bond theme songs" and how none of them have ever been good songs. It's interesting, isn't it?

I heard about it before I heard it and it made me want to cry. What was wrong with Meg, Jack? Then I heard it and I got over wanting to cry and, instead, wanted nothing more than to slap Jack White. In my opinion, the song is horrible, even by Bond song standards, which, let's face it, are not high. There have been a few gems throughout the years but for the most part they are forgettable. Another Way to Die is exactly that, a slow painful death.

I assume "Meg" is the person that Jack White usually sings with.

There are alot of critics who agree with you about most of the Bond songs not being very good. Guess it's the "Bond Movie Curse." Thanks for your comments.
