Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Singer - songwriters Dan Bern and Mike Viola (of the Candy Butchers) wrote most of the film's songs, including ``There's a Change a Happenin ''',`` Mulatto'', ``A Life Without You (Is No Life at All) '',`` Beautiful Ride'' and ``Hole in My Pants ''. Charlie Wadhams wrote the song`` Let's Duet''. Marshall Crenshaw wrote the title song, and Van Dyke Parks penned the Brian Wilson-esque 1960s - styled psychedelic jam ``Black Sheep ''(the recording session seems to be a specific parody of Wilson's Smile album sessions, on which Van Dyke Parks worked). Antonio Ortiz wrote`` Take My Hand''. A number of critics noted the unusually high quality of many of the individual songs on the soundtrack, how well they reflected the styles and times they were attempting to parody, and how well they stood on their own as quality compositions. The soundtrack was nominated for both a Grammy and Golden Globe Award and was nominated and won the Sierra Award for Best Song in a Motion Picture from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society. John C. Reilly sang on all the tracks and played guitar on most of them.
Long Ago and Far Away (James Taylor song)
Taylor wrote ``Long Ago and Far Away ''in 1970, about a year before it was recorded for Mud Slide Slim. Joni Mitchell sings background vocals and Carole King plays piano. It is a sad song that Taylor biographer Timothy White calls`` among the most wistful of Taylor's vast catalogue of secular hymns.'' The theme of the song is how things do n't turn out as planned, how dreams do n't usually match the ultimate reality and how expectations do n't last. The lyrics evoke a motif common in Taylor's songs, that of the sea and sailing away for one reason or another. Other images in the lyrics include ``tender dreams ''and`` broken glass.'' Towards the end of the song the singer asks why his song is so sad. The phrase ``long ago and far away ''never appears in the lyrics. Rather, Taylor sings that`` Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game.'' In 1998 Taylor noted that the lyrics in the second verse ``Love is just a word I've heard when things are being said ''was the`` most coherent'' part of the song for him at that time, stating that ``it is a musing on the nature of expectations, and how they do n't last.
