“It’s dark but just a game.”
-Lana Del Rey
Here are the ‘Pop’ Tracks from A Dark Night, premiering 2/14/22 (less than 2 weeks away:)
In addition to popular music, the montage features musical scores from each of the films. Composers include Hanz Zimmer, John Barry, James Newton Howard, and TCHAIKOVSKY Op.20 – Swan Lake. Re-scored by CLINT MANSELL).
- LANA DEL REY – “Dark But Just A Game”
- THE MIDNIGHT – “Endless Summer”
- KYM MAZELL – Young Hearts Run Free (by DAVID CRAWFORD) (From Romeo + Juliet)
- QUINDON TARVER – “When Doves Cry” (by PRINCE) (from Romeo + Juliet)
- OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN – “Twist of Fate”
- THE EAGLES – “One of These Nights” (Live from Melbourne)
- HANZ ZIMMER – “Matera” (From No Time To Die)
- BILLIE EILISH & FINNEAS O’CONNELL – “No Time To Die”
- HANZ ZIMMER ORCHESTRA – “Like A Dog Chasing Cars” (Live from Prague) (From A Dark Knight)
- ABBA – “Nina Pretty Ballerina”
- METRIC – “No Light On The Horizon”
Lana Del Rey sings the title sequence, which begins about 5 1/2 minutes into the montage, “Dark But Just A Game” from Lana’s 2021 album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club. The song plays eerily over a tranquil beach scene from Alex Garland’s film, Annihilation (2018). Natalie Portman marches along a remote beach, rifle in hand. She approaches an abandoned lighthouse, and in front of the structure are no less than a dozen human skulls.

My parents took me and my sisters to see “Mama Mia”, the musical based entirely on ABBA’s catalogue, in London, England on our family vacation. I was in 6th grade at the time. It rocked.

That movie was a smash hit in Slovenia. My parents were big ABBA fans, so we had all the records. 🙂

That’s neat! And this London experience was before the movie. I actually saw the LIVE Broadway production on its first tour! So a live band / orchestra performed all the ABBA music.

Twin Peaks music is so Hypnotic. By Angelo Bandalamenti. I watched a great interview with David Lynch and Angelo about their process of writing the Twin Peaks music. Lynch closes his eyes and speaks his inner vision, “Laura Palmer is lost in the woods. And there’s an owl…” And Angelo builds the music around the story at his piano.

Sounds interesting. I have not gone into the background of that. Was before Google. 🙂
But that reminds me the press pics of the cast of the show were one of the first GIFs I was downloading from the BBS. It took about 1h for a single file! 😀
