While we anxiously await the next Radiohead album, the band has (re?)-gifted the world its eponymously-titled theme song written for Bond’s film Spectre.  About the song, brilliant singer Thom Yorke tweeted: “Last year we were asked to write a tune for Bond movie Spectre. Yes we were. It didn’t work out…but became something of our own which we love very much. As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it. Merry Christmas. May the force be with you.”

Check the “tune” out below.  That voice and sweeping strings!  Brilliant!  Sam Smith who?

The Spectre-apropos lyrics are at bottom.

“I’m lost, I’m a ghost
Dispossessed, taken host
My hunger burns a bullet hole
A spectre of my mortal soul
These rumors and suspicion
Anger is a poison
The only truth that I could see
Is when you put your lips to me
Futures tricked by the past
Spectre, how he laughs

Fear puts a spell on us
Always second-guessing love
My hunger burns a bullet hole
A spectre of my mortal soul
The only truth that I can see
Spectre has come for me”
