It gets better as it goes along. Quite similar to Skyfall and Spectre, though.

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised, especially the lyrics. I can easily see the tune being incorporated in the Zimmerman/Mazzaro original music throughout.

There’s a creepy little hit of the Bond theme at the :60 sec mark…

I listened to the song only once, outside the door just before I entered work. So I’ll have to listen again later for all those little details.
Liked it. Shades of Adele, but I don’t see it as being as successful as Skyfall in mainstream radio but it’s very good. Definite improvement over Sam Smith.
The song has potential, maybe I have to get used to it, but I don’t realy like her voice.

Looking at the Twitter comments when she Tweeted the song - her fans dig it

My 13 year old daughter loves Billie and Bond and thinks the song’s great.

Really liked it. Not as controversial as “Writing’s On The Wall” (which I like), but, at some points, it somewhat promises more than it delivers.
Still, great job!

Not as bad as I feared, that’s for sure. Won’t run out and buy it, but I can already imagine it playing to the titles sequence.
If I have a complaint, it’s that it’s so close to SF and SP, and I hope that’s not a harbinger: I really, really want NTTD to bring something different as a film. Sure it’s got Blofeld and Madeleine and 12+ years of threads to tie up, but a guy can hope…

its pretty good, wouldnt say i love it but its a solid Bond song… a couple cringe lyrics but nowhere near as bad as Sam Smith in that regard - all in all, its pretty and the arrangement (one assumes by Mazzaro/Zimmer) is good - nothing crazy but i like it
Interesting to see if the trend continues and Eilish wins an Oscar next year

I like it 
Will have a proper listen when i get home from work.
Was still hoping for a somewhat happy ending for James & Madeleine.
Guess that shipped has sailed then…

I definitely like it, a solid little theme that stays true to the atmosphere of the Craig era. Anything more upbeat would have been wrong for the film, as far as one can tell from what we know up to now. The lyrics seem to spell out the major plot point.

I think the final 2 minutes are excellent, it just takes a while to get going.

Billie EIlish will perform the song at the Brit Awards on Feb 18th with FINNEAS, Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr
It has a weird way of staying in my head even after only one listening.
And it indeed seems to reveal a major plot point. So… spoiler alert?
There seem to be two versions around already, one with ‘how you dare the paradise’ and a second with ‘are you death or paradise?’.
Great orchestration, and it’s sticking in my head far more than I was expecting after only two listens. It will surely get an Oscar nomination for next year - it fits the bill of what they tend to look for (and much better than Sam Smith’s effort, which won!)

im sure it must be ‘are you death or paradise’
have also seen ‘the blood you bleed is just the blood you own’ and ‘the blood you bleed is just the blood you owe’ which to me makes more sense
She has absolutely smashed it! Instant classic and I’d say the writings on the wall for a third straight Oscar! It’s certainly making my Friday commute more palatable. And I love the cheeky twang at the end!
