Official music video. Official lyric video on the Adele channel, for the single used in the film Skyfall.

Documented

Theme for the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall. Written by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth. Released 2012 on Columbia, under license connected to the film. The official picture on her channel is a lyric video, not a narrative film of the song.

What can be seen or heard

The lyric lets the sky fall and says the singers will still stand. It names crumbling, standing together, and a place called Skyfall where they start. In the film, Skyfall is a house. The song’s collapse is also the film’s. Those are two frames. They are not the same sentence.

What the artist said

The documented job is a Bond theme, written with Epworth. A separate statement from Adele reading the song as a cosmology was not opened for this chair. Do not invent one.

Living Realm comparison

Collapse, endurance, and a start after the fall can be set beside reset and renewal elsewhere on the chart. That is a comparison. The commission is the film. The comparison does not replace the commission.
