This amazing song by The XX and Lana Del Rey's "Young and beautiful" are hands down the best deep, meaningful songs they should've been nominated for a granny
Maybe someone can help me. In the very beginning of the movie, there is a version with only guitar and no lyrics, it is when Nick make the introduction with the green light. I can't find it... If you have a clue tell me
Yes, it's a collection of stream-of-consciousness musical gestures in search of a theme. Fine, but Scott sets up big expectations at the start, with a passage which is a 20th century version of overwrought Romanticism, but then he never delivers on that promise in the rest of the piece, as it just wanders around and goes nowhere.
Ah I remember back then in my Junior year I read the book of this novel story, then after watched the movie of this in class when my teacher put it on, it was pretty crazy compared to the story in the book...I was honestly like blown away like damn...Gatsby had death coming to him knowing well...he did not deserve it..but this track suits the movie so well.
Wow, and I thought nothing really happened between Purcell and Britten in British music. To my amazement I recently discovered the music of John Foulds (leading to the discovery of Scott, as here) and the brilliant first string quartet by William Walton, practically unavailable and more or less disowned by its composer. Why are only Elgar (yawn) and Vaughan Williams (pentatonics is only five notes, nice for a song, but for a whole oeuvre?....yawn) and the later Walton (yawn) celebrated, whilst there is such exciting British music?
