"Die Another Day" opening w/ music by Scott Walker

By request, here are the opening titles to 2002's "Die Another Day" featuring the unused secondary theme for 1999's "The World Is Not Enough," Scott Walker's "Only Myself to Blame." At first, I thought this would be a terrible combination, but hearing Walker's slow and reflective lamentation paired with the imagery of the harsh, unbearable torture seen in the "DAD" opening titles makes for an unsettling juxtaposition--which I now feel fits perfectly, especially when you pay attention to the song's lyrics. Let me know what you think.

absolutely superb. much more memorable than madge's shit contribution.

'Only Myself to Blame' was composed by David Arnold and Don Black for 'The World is Not Enough' , probably for the end credits, but sadly was not used. I think it works really well as a replacement for Madonna's appalling song but unfortunately it is probably a little too subtle and sophisticated for todays Bond audience.

Again, and again.  And again.

@RH98 thx answering after 2 fucking years .. do u know how its be to just sit still and wait u answer ... niqqa

[stwads]

Ahhh... the golden baritone. Great to hear Scott sing this way but i doubt if we'll hear him indulge us again!

[RH98]

@Sukkasanteri Not an overly difficult concept to grasp, but if you still don't then reading the description will certainly help...

Good song, but just not very Bond-esque. Plus it coupled with a montage of Brosnan being tortured just doesn't fit.

@walkabou5

the melody of the song was used during the casino scene in the movie as well - as background music..... and i would've prefered this over the ending credits as well... but oh well.... i don't think this was ever intended to be the main theme, but like you said, as a credit track - much like how they did the previous 2 films with "Experience Of Love" by Eric Serra and "Surrender" by KD Lang - although Surrender was in the running to be the theme to Tomorrow Never Dies.

To think that washed up Madonna slut was chosen instead of Scott...

[Trevoirio]

Thank you very much. Now I'll have to buy this.

VERY classy. Probably the last time he'll use his voice in this croon style.

Ooooh it's good.
