Song Of The Week: Coldplay & Cat Power – Wish I Was Here

0
0

This is the collaboration I’m really excited about! Even before hearing the song, just the names of Cat Power and Coldplay coming together for a duet and that too for a Zach Braff movie, were enough to grab my attention. And well after playing the song in a loop for about half an hour, I conclude that I wasn’t disappointed.  I love how soft, melancholic it is, yet dreamy at the same time. Lyrics creep into your system very effortlessly.

It’s been a night,
Such a night,
Such a long night.
Watch myself disappear,
Into the wild side.
Said good bye to hard side,
Sang, saw a jackal appear.

Every road, that’s wrong,
Seems like the road, I’m on.
Every sign just seems unclear.
Won’t you come switch me on.
Don’t know where I’ve gone,
And I, I wish I was here.

In a fight, such a fight,
You love our fight.
I’m not lying, this I swear.
The demons that hide inside,
To the wild, why am I tired?
How come I’m never there.

 

Now so far reviews for this movie, wish I was here, directed and written by Zach Braff, have been somewhat lukewarm, though I’m sure that all the Garden State fans (I’m on that list too) are really excited for this one. The movie create quite a lot of buzz with its kickstarter project. My take on it is that even if the movie may not be that great or path-breaking, you can’t run away from the fact that music in his movies is nothing short of mesmerizing. Here’s the complete list of the soundtrack,

1. The Shins – So Now What
2. Gary Jules – Broke Window
3. Radical Face – The Mute
4. Hozier – Cherry Wine (Live)
5. Bon Iver – Holocene
6. Badly Drawn Boy – The Shining
7. Jump, Little Children – Mexico
8. Cat Power & Coldplay – Wish I Was Here
9. Allie Moss – Wait It Out
10. Paul Simon – The Obvious Child
11. Japanese Wallpaper – Breathe In (feat. Wafia)
12. Bon Iver – Heavenly Father
13. Aaron Embry – Raven’s Song
14. The Weepies – Mend
15. The Head and the Heart – No One To Let You Down

Looking at some of the artists on the that list, no wonder I’m pumped up. The shins are back once again, and taht too with a bang, you should give that song a go as well. It seems I’m gonna go and watch this movie just for the musical prowess that it has going for it. Well I’m gonna be back again next week with some  more music that’ll tingle your soul.
