IN ANTICIPATION OF THE OSCARS: PLAYS with Nadia: David Lang feat Sumi Jo - Simple Song #3 (Youth Soundtrack)

PLAYS with Nadia: David Lang feat Sumi Jo - Simple Song #3 (Youth Soundtrack)
nadia is back again with her PLAYS for the week and this time she looks at one of the nominees from the Oscar nominated best original song category "Simple Song #3" from the paolo sorrentino film 'Youth'.

though you can hear us pontificate about our personal thoughts about the movie (and also get a glimpse of what we talk about during our day jobs as film journalists), we are both in agreement that director sorrentino loves music and art as much as we do, hence our appreciation for a song like this.

the song is up against some heavy hitters, but it sure does make us swoon the easiest!

like what you hear? check out the song in full below and remember to keep checking in on fridays for our weekly PLAYS session!
