I previously posted about the movie "Begin Again" a few weeks ago, and until now, their official soundtrack still got me hooked. Who wouldn't?? With Adam Levine's influence (don't get me wrong, the guy can really sing!) plus a very unique sound that this album has to offer, I'm pretty sure you'll have the last song syndrome to at least one or two songs.
My top 3 favorite songs from this album are: (Warning: Potential spoilers ahead!)
1) Lost Stars by Adam Levine (Love this acoustic version more than the original version!) -- This is Gretta's (Kiera Knightley) gift to Dave (Adam Levine)
2) A Higher Place by Adam Levine -- This song was written by Dave while he was at Los Angeles, and was inspired by Mim.
3) Tell Me If You Wanna Go Home by Gretta and her band -- I love this because it's a fusion of indie, pop and punk rock--with the inclusion of Dan's (Mark Ruffalo) daughter, Violet's (Hailee Steinfield) guitar solo. It's such a feel-good song, and this is definitely one of my favorite parts from the movie. Such a feel good song. :)
A few trivia from this movie:
- Hailee Steinfield is part Filipino and proud of it!
- She (Hailee) even studied how to play the guitar for this movie, and she nailed her guitar solo!
- Yep, Kiera Knightley can sing--duh.
- It's Adam Levine's first full-length movie
