#GoodOmensS2 2/2 a separate album to be made at the end of S3 with all the end title themes on in one special collection . Around 18 in total (17 if we don’t count Nightingale Sings ) . I think , on top of a S3 soundtrack,would be a nice companion piece .Hope that’s agreeable x

At the end of every Bond movie there were two reliable legends : “James Bond will return “ and “ The James Bond Theme written by Monty Norman” . If you’re going to write a killer tune , that’s the one to write . still a killer 60 years on . RIP Mr Norman and thankyou
