Music You'd Better Listen To - Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle - Don’t Kiss Me Goodbye

Myspace / Facebook / iTunes

—-

I was kind of hoping to write this post about 500 Days of Summer, but I realize that by waiting until after I see the movie will push me too close to the wire. So you’ll have to do with listening to the song used in my absolute favourite instance of music use in film.

I had a (brief) conversation with Duarte Da Silva, aka @modernmod, on Twitter about how beautifully this track is used in the 2007 French film The Diving Bell & The Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le Papillon).

Every time I hear it, I think of wandering streets in the middle of the night, a sort of bleak hope hovering over me, knowing that even if everything is wrong with life, things can still be okay. I think of darkness surrounding me, except for a disturbing red glow from an electric Jesus (or was it Mary?). I think of driving in the car last summer with Aldeli, driving to some part of Montreal I had never visited before, and admiring the beauty of the known unknown.
