Todd Solondz, indie director reporting from America’s heart of darkness, has a new movie out called Life During Wartime. In typical Solondz style, it is a sequel, but not in the traditional sense — it revisits the lives of the characters from his late 90’s hit Happiness a decade later, though they’re played by different actors. Solondz also wrote the lyrics to this song, which is on the soundtrack. The music’s written by composer Marc Shaiman, with the melody sung by Devendra Banhart and Beck on backup vocals. It’s a wispy, haunting melody of longing and regret. Have a listen.[via Spin]
