The theme of 2015's Spectre is "Writings On The Wall", by Sam Smith. The song reminds me of the campy, Roger Moore-era James Bond themes. With Sam Smith's crooning falsetto, it feels more in league with songs like: "Nobody Does it Better" (from The Spy Who Loved Me), "All Time High" (from Octopussy) and "For Your Eyes Only".
The score of 2015's Spectre is by the iconic composer, Thomas Newman. Within the soundtrack, he has a lovely 2 minute version of this piece simply titled, Writing's On The Wall - Instrumental. Newman's instrumental version offered a more cinematic and orchestral take on the song -- so I based my fingerstyle guitar arrangement on his version.
Radiohead also completed a theme for Spectre but ultimately lost out to Sam Smith's Writings On The Wall. Here's the opening sequence of Spectre set to Radiohead's theme. It works amazingly well: youtu.be/COP0XlYHvto?si=d8TO7KVgFSArKdQk
