Movies using music... Has it changed how you've heard a song?
I admit I am easily manipulated by music within scenes on TV and in movies. It's put in there for a reason... to elicit an emotion, and I fall victim to it every time. Scorsese, Sorkin, Crowe, and Soderburg are, IMO, the best at this.
My question is this... Has there ever been a song that, due to its placement in a show or movie, has changed the way you've heard it forever? What got me thinking about this was the Dire Straits song, "Brothers in Arms," which was in the West Wing episode, "Two Cathedrals." (BTW, for my money the greatest TV episode ever created). Without being knowledgeable of the lyrics, or anything about the song other than the mood it set on that show, it's now a song I seek out due to the way it brings me calm when the shot hits the fan. Any song like that for you? |

Agreed
Oddly enough, since the song isn't in the movie, I think about that movie every time I hear the song "Talk Dirty to Me," because it has the words "cellar door" in it. |

Goodfellas - "layla" And reservoir dogs - "stick in the middle with you" are two that immediately come to mind. The opening credits song from Drive, Kavinsky's "Nightcall" is one of those just perfect combos that stuck with me. Also, an episode of Entourage used Radiohead's "fake plastic trees" in an awesome way as well. Entourage just used music in a great way all the time.

The album version of that song has a different guitar solo than the movie version. The movie's version is more traditional. |

I listen to the Pixies quite a bit, and every time I hear "Where Is My Mind" it makes me think of the end of Fight Club. That was a great moment.

Interesting question.
I already had an inclination for songs of the era but I think it brought some to a new level. Having said that I as a photographer first but also an avid music lover I am often prone to being hit hard when a good song and visual are connected. |
