Seeing as how today is Malcolm McDowell’s birthday, it only seems right that today’s song of the day should be one that was used in his best-known film.
The Title Music For A Clockwork Orange was, of course, adapted from Music For The Funeral of Queen Mary, composed by Henry Purcell.
Since today is Superman Day, it only makes sense that today’s song of the day should John Williams’s rousing Superman March from 1978’s Superman. In this video from 2023, John Williams conducts the Saito Kinen Orchestra.
Today’s song of the day is the haunting final song from Paul Lynch’s 1980 classic, Prom Night.
Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a belated happy birthday to the great composer, James Newton Howard! Today’s song of the day comes from his score for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.
This is from the haunting soundtrack to the Quantic Dream video game, Heavy Rain. This short piece of music captures the sad feel of the game and the madness of the Origami Killer. This score was compared by the late Normand Corbeil, who also worked in film and television. He’s probably best remembered for scoring the 2009 reboot of V.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve played Heavy Rain. I’ve gotten the good ending but really, it’s the bad endings that stick with you.
Last week, I had so much fun watching Xanadu with #FridayNightFlix that there really wasnt question as to what today’s song of the day would be,

The song is all about failure. He’s clear-eyed that he’s run out of time. There’s so many things that he could’ve done, but now he’s broken and on his way out. It’s hard to face when things aren’t going to be ok- even these guys feel like failures and they’re rich and surrounded by eager groupies. What does that say for us plebes?
I can only write this from the male perspective. Maybe you keep going to spite your enemies? Maybe you keep going because you still have stupid hope? Maybe you keep going because you’re scared you’ll survive – sort of? Maybe you just keep going because you can’t afford your preferred means to end it? Maybe you keep going because yes it will get worse and yes you are failure, but most people are failures and you figure that you’re not even the worst failure; so, maybe there’s room left to fall? Maybe, like George Carlin suggested, you just don’t have the time to schedule it in?
Whatever your reason, eventually the reason will resolve; so, you need someone to remind you of a backup reason or we will miss you.

Juice WRLD is not really my guy, but my daughter likes him and he did pass way to soon. I think people can see that others value them, but it’s hard to live for other people, when you don’t want to keep going for yourself.

This is greatest saddest song ever. Sometimes the people we are attracted to the most are the WORST choices for us.
