This is a duet by Jack White (from The White Stripes) and Alicia Keys made for the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. It's a beautiful combination of alternative and pop. I think their voices really compliment each other. Her smooth and powerful voice matches beautifully with his rough and mysterious voice.
There has never been a duet song made for a Bond movie, so I thought it was very smart to put these two together. The song is really about trust and how James Bond can't trust anyone, not even himself. I really like the lyrics.
One part I love is when Jack screeches these guitar riffs and Alicia answers with her matching and yet contrasting voice.
I hope you appreciate this wonderful, um, musical paradox? I don't know if that makes sense, but it does to me. Then again that doesn't mean much :P
Enjoy!
Another Way To Die
Another Way To Die- Jack White and Alicia Keys
Another player with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tone voice
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer
Turned a thriller into a tragedy
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Oh, someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
Another tricky little gun
Giving solace to the one
That will never see the sunshine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother,
In the nick of time
Another dirty money “heaven sent honey”,
Turning on a dime
Well, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
Hey! Another way to die!
(Another way to die…)
Shoot ‘em, bang bang!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Yeah
Hey hey hey!
Another girl with her finger
On the world singing too
Don’t you wanna hear?
Another gun thrown down and surrendered
Took away your fear
Hey!
Another man that stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror
Oh, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
It’s another way!
Shoot ’em up, bang bang!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Another way, another way…)
Yeah!
(Another way, another way…

I heard this for the first time a few days ago, and I agree it's a great match.
I'm a fan of Jack White, though have not heard very much of Alicia's work...this song though compliments them both wonderfully.
Nice review =]
I like this. I like that there's so much going on during the song.
The bass line is very Jack White/White Stripes. But the vocal melodies and harmonies seem on the lines of Alicia Key's style.
And then with the trumpet, the strings, and the incorporation of a variant of the original James Bond theme ...
This is quite the track! I like it a lot <3
