Already shortly after
publishing my last post, I got the feeling that my review of "A Ghost Story" didn't really do
the movie any justice. So I want to use this post
now to write some more about the music. As I already wrote in the
post about the movie, the music is composed by Daniel Hart.
Daniel Hart was born to
musician parents in 1976 in Emporia, Kansas in America. So it
probably comes as no surprise that they gave him a violin when he was
3 years old and he never let go since, as he said so himself. He came
to composing film music for friends and providing the music for their
little projects first.
When he's not composing
film music, he plays and sings in his band: Dark Rooms. The song “I
Get Overwhelmed“ from the band is used in the movie. Contrary to
other movies it is not just the title song or something, but the man
of the couple is a musician and the woman listens to the song after
he died. Elements from that song can be heard in the other tracks of
the soundtrack.
The soundtrack is mostly
calm and much like the movie as a whole reduced to the essential. I
personally feel that the soundtrack is a good one to listen to in
passing when you work on something (like I am now, writing this post)
and don't want to do that in complete silence or when you want to
calm down and get some rest.
I should also mention that
Kesha wrote the song “Last One“ performed by Stereo Jane. Kesha is briefly
seen in the “party“ scene in the movie, too.
Here is an incomplete list
of the tracks from the soundtrack album, if you want to check it out
for free:
AGhost Story (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Not included is
track no. 9 of the album, “Sciunt se Esse Mortui“ and no. 10,
Kesha's/Stereo Jane's “Last One“.)
Often times for the
trailer music from other movies is used of from music groups. In the
trailer for „A Ghost Story“ however you can hear parts from „I
Get Overwhelmed“. Check it out:
I think, because the movie
is rather quiet and with very little dialogue, the music as a whole
and “I Get Overwhelmed“ comes to the fore more. If you don't just
want to listen, but also see Dark Rooms performing “I Get
Overwhelmed“, I found this
for you.
