SONGS IN FILM: LOU REED- THIS MAGIC MOMENT IN LOST HIGHWAY

Ever since I went to see Nine Inch Nails a few days ago, I’ve had the Lost Highway soundtrack on repeat. It’s a fascinating soundtrack filled with great bands and artists like Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, David Bowie and Lou Reed. I’ve been a Lou Reed fan since I was a little kid, thanks to my mom playing Lou’s solo albums and of course The Velvet Underground. I haven’t seen the film Lost Highway in a while but I will always remember it. The twisted, dark, and mystery of David Lynch’s is masterful and quite possibly the most underrated film of his career. There are a slew of great scenes in the film with music accompanying it perfectly. One such scene that has always stuck out to me was this one with Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty and Robert Loggia set to the song “This Magic Moment” by Lou Reed. Though it’s actually a cover of The Drifters and Jay and the Americans. Lou’s voice and the arrangement makes this such the fitting song piece of work for a David Lynch film. Trent Reznor was tasked with putting the whole soundtrack together and my oh my what a wonderful job! Enjoy this scene and song!
