Let it… not be? Give the other fella hell? The opportunity to write a Bond theme has a way of taking a guy to a less spiritually placid place. It’s easy to lose sight of how crafty this song is amid the nightly lasers and explosions and massive pyro on tour, but the song is almost hilariously ambitious, moving from very effective John Barry wanna-be passages to an out-of-nowhere reggae interlude and right back into a sweet paean to killing. But even vegans need some murderous role-play now and again.
