Skyfall

Lyrics/melodi: Adele / Paul Epworth

This is the main song in the 23rd James Bond movie "Skyfall". It was written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth. The song is the only one that has won both the Golden Globe, the BRIT Award and the Oscar for Best Song. They have very elegantly managed to bring in the chords from the Bond theme.
