The McCartneys' title tune for the 1973 Bond theme is mercurial in its mood shifts. Whilst a relatively short song in duration, it covers a wide range of musical and emotional worlds, from wistful ballad to driving rock, and it ends with a harmonic harmonic handbrake-turn that tells you that nobody is safe in this narrative world.
