Outcomes of movie theme songs in 2017

    

    Music and film formed an effective collaboration over the past 12 months, whether it was Hans Zimmer’s jarring record for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk,” and helped as another character in providing the on-screen tension, Edgar Wright’s “Baby Driver”, David Leitch’s “Atomic Blonde,” or Iggy Pop’s sad presence in Oneohtrix Point Never’s stunning soundtrack for the Safdies’ “Good Time.”

    Edgar Wright’s movie The Damned, “Neat Neat Neat” (“Baby Driver”) movie theme song is record as the year’s most innovative movie, the mysterious Boston-raised, Brooklyn-based composer formerly known as Daniel Lopatin mirrors the Safdie brothers’ frenetic, disorienting day-and-night in the life of Robert Pattinson’s tireless.

   Another movie theme song is in the Grateful Dead, “Morning Dew” (“Long Strange Trip”) directed by  Amir Bar-Lev’s, was an awed recording engineer’s description of Jerry Garcia’s performance at London’s Lyceum Theater accompanying footage of the actual take that ended up on the band’s classic Europe ’72 live album.

   Another is Dave Matthews Band, “Crash Into Me” (“Lady Bird”) and one of the most telling moments in Greta Gerwig’s critically acclaimed coming-of-age saga is when star Saoirse Ronan unabashedly expresses her unhip love for this song, completely missing (or perhaps inadvertently acknowledging) its sinister themes of stalking.

    Also the movie theme song in the movie by John Denver, “Take Me Home, Country Roads” (“Logan Lucky”), this song firmly establishes Channing Tatum’s good old boy nature, joining in with his favorite singer on the radio, before returning during strategic moments in the director’s ultimately amiable rural take on his “Ocean’s” trilogy.

    Another movie theme song is by Sia feat. Labrinth, “To Be Human” (“Wonder Woman”), it is another end-title anthem that has strong Oscar possibilities as it offers a surging, climactic endorsement to Patty Jenkins’ box office-shattering, proto-feminist superwoman saga.

    Also the movie theme song in the movie The Beatles, “Because” (“Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets”): Auteur Luc Besson’s $180 million sci-fi graphic novel adaptation and unabashed “Star Wars” clone crash-landed at the U.S. box office, but not before he secured permission to use one of the Fab Four’s most dreamy melodies for a trailer that whetted the appetite apparently sated by the time the film opened.
