Couple scenes ringing true to this threads intent above.. Heres another example of how music when least expected can have means of changing a mood in an instant. One of the best examples of music capturing a scene... In lieu of sticking around after a status fight of importance with his band. The lead guitar player takes up with some locals and enjoys his acid beer crazed behavior into the wee hours of the morning. Befor being tracked down by his friend and manager and returning(against his will) to finish their tour. Arriving on a bus of intense resentment..they seem to all find therapeutic aid in an Elton John classic..Tiny Dancer...Enjoy

Jackhammer, a movie moment like that for me is the "Bright Eyes" song and scene in the movie "Watership Down."

I've been thinking about eyes today, and when I think of eyes this scene and song always occur to me.

I've been humming the "Bright Eyes" song off and on now for around 20 years since I first saw the movie "Watership Down" in 1987 while I stayed at the lovely cottage of some family friends who lived just north of London. They had the movie "Watership Down," which I'd never seen before. I ended up watching the video around 5 times while I was there, often deep into the night. I guess it struck a chord in me.

(My other memory of this time was that their son, home from university, came and sat with me on the sofa for a moment to try to snog, and he stuck his tongue in my ear, which surprised me because his tongue felt very big and wet and cold!) But back to the movie...

I had just decided to finally become vegetarian, which I had wanted to do since I was a little child, and so I think the movie's theme of death, valuing life, and the cruelty of Man, as shown through the lives of anthropomorphised rabbits, resonated with me.

My favorite scene/song in the movie is the following, where the deeply sad thought of a particular individual's life and loss merge with hopefulness that death isn't an end (which I have always felt was a sweet hope, even if it is just a hope):

"Bright Eyes" - from Watership Down:



"Bright Eyes" - the music by itself (very pretty):

Not sure why I love this scene so much. I just do. This movie had an awesome soundtrack, both for the original score and the way cool 80's songs they used.


The Dude abides. There's a similar scene where Man in Me by Bob Dylan plays too which is great.


Zombies + Queen = Awesome?


You can hate the song now for being by far the most overplayed, but this created a chilling ending scene.

Well, it's hilarious, but here's what happens when you have really good music to a really bad movie, and really poorly placed in:





Yes... This is very VERY real.

MBV's Sometimes in Lost In Translation feels like such an appropriate song for the whole movie. It just fits so well.

I totally agree. That movie and that song make my heart hurt in a weird nostalgic way and the way they fit together is perfect.

I think I'm going to have to watch that movie again soon. It's been a while.
