I disagree with Tyler2004Durden. I think this tune is an amazing fusion for the two cultural worlds Radiohead and Bond inhabit - and Radiohead, being tasked with doing an appropriate tune for the series, hit the nail on the head the best they could - references to physical love, bullet holes, death, all wrapped up in an epic, smoky ballad complete with it's own brassy big band and searing string arrangement. Truly, it has all the makings of a bond theme.
