A brand new song from Arcade Fire! "Abraham's Daughter" is slated to appear in The Hunger Games movie, and boy does have it have a haunting tune to it. You can find a full track-listing here, including work from The Decemberists, Kid Cudi and Neko Case.
Win Butler himself weighed in on their thought process going into composition:
Win Butler himself weighed in on their thought process going into composition:
I tried to put myself in the headspace of how excited I'd be if this film was coming out when I was 15. I still remember hearing Radiohead's "˜Exit Music (for a Film)' in [Baz Luhrmann's] Romeo + Juliet when I was that age.
Our whole approach was to get into the world and try to create something that serves the story and the film," he continued. "There's something in the story of Abraham and Isaac that I think resonates with the themes in the film, like sacrificing children. So we made a weird, apocryphal, alternate-universe version of that, where it's as if Abraham had a daughter "” kind of a metaphor for Katniss.
