@quico-reed: Yes, definitely think it needs something extra here (section immediately following the second chorus) - I have managed to pump-up the chorus a bit, but agree that this needs to be kept going somehow at this point (I also had in mind that a proper vocalist would be able to do decent sustained notes at this point also) - I kind of ran out of time and energy on the arrangement - should probably re-visit it and/or re-do the whole thing on my new DAW. Thanks for the careful and thoughtful listening and comments - much appreciated.

@andreas-hauser-7: Thanks for commenting, and for the repost Andreas. Barbara Broccoli hasn't called yet... but it's very kind of you to suggest it :)

I'm a reeeally big James Bond themed music and your voice is PERFECT in the most respectful way to Sam Smith I prefer THIS and your voice . I LOOOOOOVE this track thank you !!!  😊 VEGAN VOCALIST

Ha ha that was meant to say BIG James Bond music themed Fan 😂😆😄VEGAN VOCALIST

Oh like both those titles but think I'm leaning more towards 'LET IT BURN' as a preference but both good titles ☀️VEGAN VOCALIST

Wish there was a repeat button , just gotta keep clicking play for about half an hour 👏😊VEGAN VOCALIST

It's a made up Bond theme. Have had several attempts - this is first one I think is passable. Know I don't have the voice for it, but hopefully gets the idea across. Mixing/mastering very difficult (orchestral stabs are world of stress, vocal is still not mixed right) - still working on that. Not sure to call it Let It Burn or The Devil May Care. I am a big fan of Bond themes/music and am hoping the new proper Sam Smith Bond theme (which is imminent) is a good 'un. Many thanks to @jonathan_beckenstein for his very helpful advice on an earlier version of this song and to @faerytale for her encouragement!

The Devil may care
To walk by your side
Your soul may be lost
But your heart’s open wide

You’d lay waste The Earth
You’d pull down the stars
A love that’s so pure
Is a love that destroys

What use a world that always turns away
When life’s so torn?

So let it burn
Yeah let it burn
Just let it burn

The Devil may care
To raise-up your pride
He’s seen through your eyes
Seen the tears left un-cried

And as your passion spins out of control
It’s like you reached out for the sun
But then it’s gone

So let it burn [etc.]

The Devil may care
To walk by your side
He’s seen through your eyes
See the tears left un-cried
A love so pure
A love that destroys
What use this world
When life’s so torn
So let it burn

This is a lab for @wheelwright. I don’t really know why I’ve ended up with two pages.
