Drive Soundtrack
Last week/last night, depending on when I get round to posting this, I saw the movie Drive. It was the best film I’ve ever seen (this year), though hotly contested by Richard Ayoade’s Submarine. In short, Ryan Gosling (who I didn’t previously have much time for) is brilliant as the nameless protagonist in this black, Tarrantinesque (ish), noir (ish), crime thriller. Events suddenly spiral out of control mid way through the film and the ensuing graphic violence polarises the tense peacefulness of the film’s first half. I haven’t seen a similar treatment of dialogue in any film I’ve seen to date. I strongly, strongly recommend you see this movie.
I’m not here to review movies though, I’m here to get paid share tunes. There’s an overarching 80s sensibility to Drive that’s evident in costume, car, cinematography but to point, in soundtrack. I’ve chosen a few of the most poignant tracks but even without their cinematic significance, these songs would be stand-alone awesome. Throw your hands up if you feel me.
