A Little Party Never Killed Nobody from the Great Gatsby movie soundtrack. A mix of swing, EDM, and jazz. Have fun.
Bird Anthem - Michael Nyman
Michael Nyman (1982) \ A Walk Through H (1976)
Day 2 of I can’t stop listening to Rufus. This song is beautiful and it won’t get out of my head.
14th Street - Rufus Wainwright
why’d you have to break all my heart?
couldn’t you have saved a minor part
i could have clipped and saved
and planted in the garden?
damn you, guess i’ll have to get a new one
listening to this song live tonight brought me back to my teens <3
kiss me, i’m drunk. don’t worry, it’s true.
primadonna // marina and the diamonds
fill the void up with celluloid
take a picture, i’m with the boys
get what i want ‘cause i ask for it
not because i’m really that deserving of it
living life like i’m in a play
in the limelight i want to stay
i know i’ve got a big ego
i really don’t know why it’s such a big deal though
Tsimtsum - Mychael Danna - Life of Pi
And so the winner of the 2013 Oscar goes to Mychael Danna for his score to Life of Pi. Personally I’m so happy with the choice, I absolutely loved it, especially this piece.
It has a solem, peaceful, almost religious feel to accompany Pi floating in the water as he watches the most tragic part of his life. The flute really takes the lead in this cue after the strings and choir establish the piece. The chords swell beautifully and almost effortlessly as the water in the scene while the flute plays its melancholy melody. It then slows to a more quiet and sparse string collection before crescendoing into a beautiful climactic choral finish complete with that heart wrenching chord change.
The score had the tough job of accompanying its amazingly gorgeous visual counterpart and succeeded. It is most certainly worth a listen if you havent already.
Julee Cruise - The Voice Of Love (Twin Peaks)
When, when all the world falls
And when, when you are here
There’s a glow just like the stars
I hear a distant voice
Listen, listen
I dream, I dream of starlight
I dream, I dream of you
There’s a glow just like the sun
I hear a distant voice
Listen, listen
I hear the voice
I hear the voice
I hear the voice of love
