So, it's been a long time coming. Here's playlist three. It is mostly stuff I have on the playlist for my script and that I'm hoping I can incorporate into the soundtrack (long shot, but whatever).
(1) Boy with a Coin (Iron & Wine): Has a slightly different feel than most of Iron & Wine's songs. I'm a big Iron & Wine fan, but I like Boy with a Coin because it has this sense of traveling somewhere, leaving something behind, and being nostalgic about it.
(2) Nature Boy (Nat King Cole): Love, love, love the lyrics. Also, love Nat King Cole.
(3) Headlights Look Like Diamonds (Arcade Fire): I have this over a montage of different places in the city as two of my characters drive around in their car. I think it just really captures the different feelings you get within one urban space.
(4) New Star Killer (David Bowie): N has been getting me into Bowie lately. And the intro to this song is simply amazing and epic. But so is Bowie.
(5) Violet Hill (Coldplay): Also really like the lyrics. It is somewhat tragic but beautiful at the same time. I love the opening line "It was a long and dark December, from the rooftops I remember there was snow, white snow". Also, N hates it, and yes, in the context of musical history it isn't fantastic, but I LIKE IT: the little guitar solo at 2:13 is pretty awesome. Maybe because I can actually play it on the guitar....o_o.
(6) Dancing Cheek to Cheek (Nat King Cole): Again, who can hate Nat King Cole? I've been practicing my swing dance moves to this one when I need something a little more mellow.
(7) Four Cigarettes (Malcolm Middleton): N sent this one to me. Right up my alley. Haha. Mellow, slightly depressing, but beautifully haunting. :D
(8) Zoot Suit Riot (Cherry Poppin' Daddies): SWING DANCE! YES!
(9) Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games (Of Montreal): Okay. So I technically don't own the song. I own the video. Which is AWESOME and slightly disturbing. Like the song itself, it is apparently cheerful, but pretty dark. :D
(10) In The Backseat (Arcade Fire): Hmm. I like the the escalation for this piece. And I like the tone it sets. A sort of nostalgic advancing, a nostalgic journey...
Bonus:
(11) Hoppipolla (Sigur Rós): Hoppipolla means hopping in puddles or something like that. The song is absurdly cheerful and hopeful. Perfect note to end a film on!
(12) Sing, Sing, Sing (the BBC Big Band Orchestra): MORE SWING DANCE!
