Song of the Day: A Bewildering and Bedazzling Celestial Mystery by Alexandre Desplat
Not surprisingly, Wes Anderson’s 2023 film, Asteroid City was released to mixed reviews. It wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Indeed, after many critics complained about The French Dispatch not being particularly accessible, Anderson decided to one up them by making a film that was even more enigmatic. That said, I really enjoyed Asteroid City and I think history will be kind to it. Today’s song of the day comes from the film’s haunting score.
Song of the Day: The Promise by Michael Nyman
Today is Jane Campion’s birthday and today’s song of the day comes from Michael Nayman’s beautiful score for her best film, 1993’s The Piano.
Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From Dirty Harry by Lalo Schifrin
If there’s one man who would have stood with Marshal Kane, it was Harry Callahan.
In honor of the fact, today’s song of the day comes from 1971’s Dirty Harry. Composer Lalo Schifrin’s moody score remains one of the best cop film scores of all time. It’s efficient, relentless, and deceptively low-key, just like “Dirty Harry” Callahan himself.
Song of the Day: Superman March by John Williams
Since today is National Superhero 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.
Song of the Day: Alla luce del giorna by Ennio Morricone
How about a little Morricone for today’s song of the day? This comes from the score of 1969’s Metti Una Sera A Cena.
Song of the Day: Irena’s Theme by Giorgio Moroder
Happy birthday to musician and composer Giorgio Moroder. Today’s song of the day comes from his score for 1982’s Cat People. Here is Irena’s Theme!
Song of the Day: Main Title Theme From Scarface by Giorgio Moroder
Why not? It is Al Pacino’s birthday, after all!
Brad’s Song of the Day – “Hello and Goodbye” – sung by Jill Ireland!
Back in 1976, Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland did a movie together called FROM NOON TIL THREE. The western set, romantic comedy featured Jill singing the song “Hello and Goodbye.” The music was written by Elmer Bernstein, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. It would go on to be nominated for a Golden Globe award in 1977 for “Best Original Song.” In honor of her birthday, I’m sharing it with you today!
