"Vaster Than Empires" by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Caetano Veloso

"Vaster Than Empires" from the soundtrack to Luca Guadagnino's extraordinary film "Queer" with Daniel Craig reaches into me, walks on my soul, effortlessly slays me. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross created the soundtrack, and this song featuring legendary Brazilian Tropicalismo singer Caetano Veloso played over the closing credits.

How can a man who sees and feels
be other than sad?
How can a man who sees and feels (A sad feeling can be seen)
be other than sad? (As a test upon which love)

How can a man who sees and feels (A sad feeling can be seen)
be other than sad? (As a test upon which love)
How can a man who sees and feels (A sad feeling can be seen)
be other than sad? (Did it even happen?)

How can a man who sees and feels (What is an experience if it is not shared?)
be other than sad? (Did it even happen?)

(What is an experience if it is not shared?)
How can a man who sees and feels (A sad feeling can be seen)
be other than sad? (Did it even happen?)

Our love will grow vaster than empires and more slow
Our love will grow vaster than empires and more slow
The price of immortality, immortality
Our love will grow vaster than empires and more slow
The price of immortality, immortality
Our love will grow vaster than empires and more slow

How can a man who sees and feels (A centipede can be seen)
(Did it even happen?)

(You should have thought of these things)
Be other than sad? (As a test upon which love)

(You should have not only...)
Our love will grow vaster than empires and more slow

(You should have thought of these things)

(You should have not only thought of these things)
Did it even happen?
What is an experience if it is not shared?
Did it even happen?

"The Lake" by Fever Ray

On the heels of yesterday's International Women's Day, here is Fever Ray (the nom de musique of Karin Dreijer), previously here, performing "The Lake" from the new film "The Bride" written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring the award-winning--and Oscar-nominated--actress and singer Jessie Buckley, previously here. A trio of talented, strong women. Fever Ray makes an appearance in the film and I believe it is this footage we see below... we can see The Bride dancing in the audience...

"Wilding Theme" by Jon Hopkins

Jon Hopkins has created the soundtrack to a film called "Wilding," a documentary about Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell's pioneering rewilding project at Knepp Estate in England, and the title track is lovely...

"The Paradigm" by Lil' Yachty

I can assure you that Lil' Yachty is normally nowhere to be found in my music collection, but wow, this song created during his psychedelic-rock period is amazing. "The Paradigm" was heard over the closing credits of the film "Leave The World Behind."

Meet me at the bridge past nine
Turn off our phones if you need some downtime
Kick off your shoes and unwind
Relax your brain as you enter the paradigm

You are not dealin' with the typical
One of a kind
Super individual
I see the light

Forget about bills, ridin' them hills, dippin' in cheap thrills
Love in the mill, posin' for stills, poppin' them pills (ooh)
Doublin' down, devil's in town, it's tricklin' down
Ah

I am also loving this track "the BLACK seminole." from his release "Let's Start Here."

Sex symbol, the Black Seminole
A sex symbol, the Black Seminole
African Rambo with more ammo
Can't be escaped, I'm on every channel

What's wrong? What's wrong, Mr. Man?
Your eyes are low
And you're walking with both hands on your head
His response, he's on a clean, clean high
Both feet up on the ground
But his head's way, way, way up in the sky

The Black Seminole, a head general
This deep connection, a large interval
A black man with mouths to feed
Embracing equality throughout greed

No time to joke around, the kid is now a man
And the sadness is filled with remarkable sounds
This part, I've seen in my dreams
Love is not a lie, it just feels like a Tarantino movie scene

Exactly

Now
