Jóhann Jóhannsson
While watching the Battle: Los Angeles trailer...
...after the shock and horror of the realistic images of Los Angeles under attack, the most moving part of this trailer was the music choice by Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson:
I have been listening to Jóhann Jóhannsson via grooveshark (which is an incredible website for listening to music, if you haven't heard of it yet) and am equally impressed by more of his music. I think I might have to get one of these albums.

Where The Wild Things Are! and Arcade Fire
Where The Wild Things Are:
Max: "He doesn't mean it. He's just scared."
KW: "Well he's making it harder on everyone. Things are hard enough as it is already."
Max: "He loves you. You're his family."
KW: "Being a family is hard."
This movie, as amazing and magical as it is, touches so delicately and honestly on the realities of being a human, being one who loves and one who is loved, feeling pain and loneliness, feeling joy and feeling invincible. So many of us, trying to make an influence in this world, only inhibited by your own shortcomings. Although heavy at times, the characters draw you in to a place we can all relate to, and it was nice to be in that place.
Also, the trailer features Arcade Fire. This band can really blend mellow and drama! I've attached one of my favorite songs, Crown of Love, and below are the lyrics.
They say it fades if you let it,
Love was made to forget it.
I carved your name across my eyelids,
You pray for rain I pray for blindness.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
The crown of love has fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
Because the spark is not within me.
I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.
The only thing that you keep changin'
Is your name, my love keeps growin'
Still the same, just like a cancer,
And you won't give me a straight answer!
If you still want me, please forgive me,
The crown of love has fallen from me.
If you still want me please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me.
I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.
The pains of love, and they keep growin',
In my heart there's flowers growin'
On the grave of our old love,
Since you gave me a straight answer.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me,
Cause this crown is not within me.
It's not within me, it's not within me.
You gotta be the one,
You gotta be the way,
Your name is the only word that I can say
You gotta be the one,
You gotta be the way,
Your name is the only word,
The only word that I can say!
