Edit by Sparky - Track by Coldplay and Cat Power released - more info and links here

 

 

Braff filled Garden State, his 2004 directorial debut, with infectious tunes from the Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, and Coldplay. Wish I Was Here, his directorial followup — which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and hits theaters across the country this summer — is similarly packed with cool music, including original songs from the Shins and Bon Iver.

 

But Sundance audiences weren’t privy to the final piece to Braff’s eclectic soundtrack. “We also have an original song sung by Cat Power, written by Chris Martin,” Braff tells EW exclusively. “It wasn’t ready yet for [sundance]. It’s the title song of the movie. It’s one of the most amazing songs ever.”

Wish I Was Here debuts in New York and Los Angeles July 18. The film opens in additional cities July 25.

Well I mean, as you said , they had YEARS, I believe you get a lot of shit done in several years apart from one album :nod:

Will it feature Coldplay or just Chris?

shows only chris as the writer:

I think if this article is correct, and I hope it is, then crediting Coldplay as playing the song implies the whole band is featured, no? Even if Chris is the only listed writer. (Otherwise it'd be Cat Power ft. Chris Martin in the vein of Kanye West ft. Chris Martin or such).

Pretty excited if I'm honest! :D

What is the song called?

The song title is "Wish I Was Here"

 

The song title is "Wish I Was Here"

 

Lol I was just checking the title without actually reading the whole post :P

 

Thanks Canara :)

Is this song a reference to Pink Floyd?

So what's the deal with this song? Is the song performed by the band with vocals by Cat?

it's obviously the title song. once it's out, we'll see if there are any pink floyd references.

Does anybody know what the music from the trailer is?

 

Could it possibly be the title song?

Nevermind it's actually "So Now What" by The Shins. Quite a good song. Can't wait for this tho.
