Naa, that would be the Pixies - Where Is My Mind?. That song is just some music from the film with lots of lovely quotes which is tagged on at the end of the soundtrack, made more sense putting that on than anything else there because it only really works together.

I picked 10 songs, don't download it.
A Cardigan & a Frown 1. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone "New Year's Kiss" Walked home in last night's clothes. 2. Jonathan Richman "True Love is Not Nice" It hurts from the bottom and it hurts down to your soul. 3. Morrissey "Seasick, Yet Still Docked" You must be such a fool to pass me by. 4. Elliott Smith "From a Poisoned Well" If you feel hollow, its probably because you are. 5. S "Reach for the Sky" Didn't someone say that things just have to get better? 6. Elliott Smith "True Love" True love is a rose behind glass thats locked and kept closed. 7. Daniel Johnston "True Love Will Find You in the End" Don't be sad I know you will. 8. Magnetic Fields "Busby Berkeley Dreams" You're in every song I know. 9. The Smiths "Asleep" Sing me to sleep, I'm tired and I, I want to go to bed. 10.

1. Sigur Ros - The Nothing Song
An ex girlfriend made me a CD full of songs that reminded her of me, and this was on it. She said that it was a song that was free to interpret in any way you would like, and it's really true. In the times when I'm feeling most down, this really gets to me, and when I'm feeling happy it has the same effect. I think it's a sad but optimistic song... I have the live version, it's much better 2. Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely Just sheer brilliance, in my opinion it is THE definitive Radiohead song. If you don't already know, which you should do, it's about taking yourself out of a bad situation and just pretending that it isn't happening. The word atmospheric could be tied to any of Radiohead's output after OK Computer, however, this DEFINES the word. 3. David Bowie - Rebel Rebel Side by side with Heroes and Moonage Daydream, this stands as my favourite Bowie song. I think it's probably a call to arms for teenagers everywhere, and even though it was made all those years ago, it still reflects really well on society today. And obviously the fact I actually feel like an androgynous sex god whilst singing it helps too. 4. Blur - No distance left to run I think it's just the real emotion behind this one that does it for me. Damon Albarn is basically just a gurning twat, no matter how much I love blur. He sings songs about council estates and the like when in reality, he's had no experience of lower class English life in the slightest. Even though I love Blur and always have done, their songs struggle to connect with the listeners emotions in any way whatsoever. So when I first heard this song, I was taken aback - definitely a departure from anything I had previously heard from them, and the lyrics are just sublime. 'I won't kill myself trying to stay in your life' cuts right to the bone. 5. The Cribs - I'm A Realist right... yeah. An embarassing inclusion to the list, but I feel I should add it for nostalgic value. The girl I'm with now, I have known since I was just a wee lad, and this is the song that was playing in the club where we first kissed... so let me off. 6. The Smiths - I Know it's over I had a dream about my Dad the once (he's passed away) and he came to me and this song was playing in the background... and we had a big conversation about whether the Smiths were **** or not in the dream. Irrelevant to say the least... but I now see many more meanings to this song than I originally noticed, so for me personally it's got the most depth out of any Smiths song. 7. Jeff Buckley - Satisfied Mind In my opinion, better than the Johnny Cash version, though both were close. It's just top notch, everything about it. The way Jeff sings it, as always, is beautiful. And the lyrics, though not devised by Jeff himself of course, are a master class in song writing. 'Money can't buy back your youth when you're old, a friend when you're lonely, or a piece to your soul'.... brilliant 8. Nizlopi - Worry Because they were brought up nearby where I was, I seem to think that they are MY band... this song puts me in the best of moods no matter when or where I hear it. 9. Libertines - Vertigo I had a casual relationship with music for a long time, and as I was of a tender age I obviously struggled to find any emotional connection with music at that time. But, like most teenagers, I picked up the Libs debut... and even though it's cliche for a British youngster to say about 'Up The Bracket', it really did change my life. From the very first track, the aforementioned Vertigo, I was hooked. It was just brilliant. A shambolic, messy adrenaline rush. I then went onto explore more bands of a similiar style (the strokes etc) and from there I just kept progressing. It was a turning point and had a great impact on me, and even though I now realise that it's just simple guitar music, I feel it still deserves an inclusion Richard Hawley - Long Black Train For me, I can't think of a better outro. It sounds like Christmas, it has a happy and warm feeling coating it, and it's basically just completely magical. Richard Hawley is just a genius and I think this song is his masterpiece. |
