우리나라에서 이미 놀라운 흥행 성적을 이끌어냈던 2014년의 [위플래쉬]로 주목 받았던 데미안 차젤레 감독의 신작으로 이미 베니스 국제영화제, 토론토 국제영화제 등 유수한 영화제에서 수상하며 개봉 전부터 그 진가를 확실히 인정 받은 [라라랜드].
이번 [라라랜드]의 OST는 배우 라이언 고슬링(Ryan Gosling)과 엠마 스톤(Emma Stone)의 매력적인 목소리가 담겨 있는 것뿐 아니라 감수성으로 세계를 사로 잡은 존 레전드(John Legend) 또한 참여하여 재즈와 뮤지컬, 팝적인 요소가 고루 담겨 영화의 감동을 다시 끔 선사하는 매력적인 앨범이다. 이 영화로 엠마 스톤은 에미상을 수상하였으며 로스앤젤레스 필름 크리틱 협회에서 ‘최우수 뮤직/스코어’상을 수상하였다.
I think about that day
I left him at a Greyhound station
West of Sante Fe
We were seventeen,
but he was sweet and it was true
Still I did what I had to do
'Cuz I just knew
Summer Sunday nights
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed
out all the lights
The Technicolor world
made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside its sheen
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a bus, here I came
Could be brave or just insane
We'll have to see
'Cuz maybe in that sleepy town
He'll sit one day,
the lights are down
He'll see my face and
think of how he used to know me
Behind these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights
that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
As morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
I hear them everyday
The rhythms in the canyons
that will never fade away
The ballads in the ballrooms
left by those who came before
They say we got
to want it more
So I bang on every door
And even when
the answer's no
Or when my money's
running low
The disc and mic and
neon glow are all I need
And some day as
I sing the song
A small-town kid will
come along
That'll be the thing
to push him on and he'll go
Behind these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights
that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
As morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
When they let you down
The morning rolls around
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It's another day of sun
The day has just begun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
