Great Songs Of The 00s (Part 66)

Great Songs Of The 00s (Part 66)

Why aren't Cherry Ghost superstars? Why aren't they as big as Coldplay, or even bigger? Why did they never get an Arctic Monkeys/Glasvegas/Arcade Fire hype? Because the world ain't fucking fair, that's probably why.

I saw Requiem For A Dream for the first and only time in the fall of 2003. It was the lowest point of my life so far (for reasons which shall remain untold) and watching Requiem For A Dream at that point was not a good idea.

As a result, hearing Clint Mansell's score gave me an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach for the following seven years. Thank you, Pavlov.

It's only in the last few months I've been able to distance myself from that part of my life and appreciate the soundtrack for the meisterwerk it truly is.
