Requeim For a Day Off

Clint Mansell's epic piece, "Lux Aeterna," provided the haunting background for Darren Aronofsky's 2000 film, Requiem For a Dream. This mournful tune of exquisite pain and sorrow has been masterfully crafted with scenes from John Hughes' 1986 comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This is why I love the internet.



GRAAAAACE!

    Oh wow, this was creepy, and the music worked so well. Really puts a sinister tone to the film.

    This movie brings back so many good memories. The 80's can never be duplicated. :D

    I love this piece but lately it's been showing up on every single damn YouTube video and it pisses me off. No, a video of your cat shitting on your front yard doesn't merit this as the soundtrack!
