Blood

If there's one thing about a movie that gets me inspired, it's the soundtrack. Crazy, Stupid, Love did it right in all areas (humor, romance,drama, sexiness, chemistry etc...) including the soundtrack. Sure, not all the songs were put out this year specifically for this film, but that's kinda why I loved it. The musical directors utilized songs for their meanings and relevance to the film/moments instead of calling T. Pain and asking for a sexy song that Emma Stone could strut into the bar to. Because i didn't want to lay down $10.99 for the entire soundtrack (although if you have that much on you...do it), I got just two of the songs that captured my interest, already having "Tenuousness" by Andrew Bird. (end credits.) Above is "Blood" by The Middle East. It's glorious. If you follow Bon Iver, then I think you'll find a hint of his genius in here through the quiet mist of voices and tinkling instrumentals. You know how sometimes you'll see a movie and fall in love with the songs so you go and buy it when you get home only to find out that it doesn't present itself the same way? Well, even though that is not the case here (just listen to it!), I often fall in love with a moment in a movie that is brought to life and sends shivers up my spine through the perfectly perfect music put to it. Crazy, Stupid, Love is full of those perfect 10 moments that every girl AND boy wishes for with music that makes each moment count that much more. All I know is when I get to lay in bed next to Ryan Gosling, I'll ask him to please put "Blood" by The Middle East on while we talk...or don't talk if you catch my drift. And yes, I plan on getting the chance to lay next to him in bed, seeing as we're getting married someday...that is if the whole Prince Harry thing doesn't work out. Enjoy guys!
