For some purpose, Nick Cave contributed to the Joker: Folie à Deux soundtrack final 12 months. Now, he’s again with music for (presumably) a a lot better movie: Clint Bentley’s Prepare Goals, based mostly on the 2011 Denis Johnson novella of the identical title. The tune was made in collaboration with Bryce Dessner.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Cave was impressed to put in writing “Prepare Goals” after the film premiered at January’s Sundance Movie Competition. It was co-written and co-produced by Dessner, with extra manufacturing from Luis Almau. The monitor now performs over the tip credit and has been added to its soundtrack, which comes out on Nov. 7, the day of the movie launch.
“After we began enthusiastic about singing for the movie, Nick felt like the right artist to do it,” Bentley advised the Hollywood Reporter, persevering with:
It seems that Prepare Goals is certainly one of his all-time favourite books, however he initially feared there wouldn’t be time to do one thing as a result of he was on the brink of go on tour. Then he watched the movie and was impressed to put in writing one thing and the entire thing got here collectively actually shortly.
I knew he would craft one thing lovely and resonant, however the movie has such a fragile tone on the finish, one which was actually exhausting to get proper, and I didn’t need a tune that may push the viewers in one other course emotionally. However Nick and I have been very a lot on the identical web page from the outset. He learn some early lyrics to me that he was engaged on and I used to be simply actually a bit overwhelmed with the entire scenario — I’ve been a fan of his for such a very long time and there I used to be, not solely having a extremely pretty dialog with him about life and artwork, however he was additionally studying lyrics to me that he was writing for a movie I made. It was a extremely particular second.
He’s a really uncommon artist and one I like immensely. There’s nobody factor that defines a Nick Cave tune — sonically, lyrically, or in any other case. He’s received songs about all the things, all of the forms of our expertise right here. There’s a deep poeticism alongside rock and roll. And that simply felt like the right match for a movie like this that’s telling the story of this one who lived a gorgeous resonant life, even when it did embody heartache and ache.
