However, with the revelation of the haunting and uniquely beautiful “Spectre,” we have to ask whether or not a song associated with this latest James Bond film was destined for the top of the charts anyway. “Writing On The Wall,” the song that would ultimately be the official Sprectre theme, went on to hit the top of the charts in Britain. Though it’s not like the people behind Spectre are regretting the decision to replace the British rockers with the popular crooner. Yorke only admits that their efforts “didn’t work out.” Was it because movie runners found out they could get Sam Smith instead? If so, that sounds rather harsh. Hearing the song and how well it seems to fit with that sequence makes it kind of hard to fathom how it didn’t work out. One fan of the band decided to combine the discarded song with the backdrop used for Spectre‘s opening score. One can only imagine how strong the impact would be if played over a trippy Bond opening featuring nude silhouettes and floating octopuses. The song is very disorienting, almost nightmarish. The song opens on a haunting note with the piano, which is only amplified by Thom Yorke’s vocals. Thanks to Radiohead’s generosity, you can listen to the song below. However, since this song is called “Spectre” and the word is said throughout…it certainly feels like it was meant to be an official theme. Movie runners may have wanted to give the impression they intended to go with Smith. It’s an understandable move since rejected Bond themes are rarely discussed. Yorke added, “Yes, we were.” to his statement as if to combat any potential denials on the part of sources connected with Spectre. “Last year, to write a tune for Bond movie Spectre.” Radiohead singer Thom Yorke also tweeted about the abandoned project. That meant that the Radiohead song “Spectre” would be discarded and no one probably would have even known it existed, had it not been for a Christmas miracle.Īs New York Daily News reported, the band decided to reveal their songs to fans at absolutely no charge. So what happened? Well, Sam Smith happened. Radiohead was this close to having their music featured as the theme song for the latest James Bond movie Spectre.
