Skyfall

The Theme for the next highly anticipated instalment in the James Bond franchise has been released.

Currently sitting at Number one in the charts, Adele's song, Skyfall sets the tone for the film.

Opening with a orchestral riff of the classic Bond film, piano plays before Adele starts singing.

The lyrics echo what has been seen in the trailers for the film (This is the end/Bond's supposed death) but the mysterious Skyfall is still not explained.

In this song the Skyfall is portrayed as a collapse for the character, an emotional breakdown however it is to be expected to have a more physical appearance in the film.

Half way through the four minute song it picks up. The tempo and scale of the song increases it from something soft and foreboding into a cinematic theme song worthy of the franchise.

Let's hope the film is, as well.
