About a week before the film's opening weekend, I sat down and gave it a shot. Let's just say that I'm now on book two, Catching Fire. Anyways, I went to a packed theatre last Sunday and saw the movie with high hopes. It lived up to the hype. During the credits of the film, a few songs from the compilation soundtrack are heard. As I'm reading the various credits, (fun fact: the "food stylist's" name was Jack White), this stunning folksy track starts playing. Ever since that day, I can't get it out of my head.
The song is "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift, and it features The Civil Wars. Not only is it completely perfect for the film, but it also has such a beautiful melody. I believe it may be some of Taylor Swift's best work yet. That's probably because it isn't her usual pop-country breakup single. The Civil Wars are the finishing touch on the song by adding some supporting vocals that really make such a difference. You can check out the music video for "Safe & Sound" below.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to reading. Feel free to discuss the books, film, and soundtrack in the comment section. Remember, no spoilers!
