#Baby driver soundtrack blur movie#
Even though I’d made my first movie ( A Fistful of Fingers) and I was editing it, I wouldn’t have called myself a ‘film director.’ I’d say it’s the closest thing to synesthesia in a way that it wasn’t like I listened to ‘Bellbottoms’ and imagined a car chase. “The reality is that the song sort of inspired the entire thing, because when I first heard that song, it was 1995, I was 21, I was living in London for the first time. New York City rock legend Jon Spencer famously wrote the song “ Here Comes the Fuzz” for Wright’s earlier film Hot Fuzz, but an earlier hit with his namesake band was also hugely inspirational on Baby Driver, not just because Wright considers it “ pretty much the greatest opening track of any rock album ever.” “Bellbottoms” The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (from the album Orange) “Maybe if there’s a sequel, I’ll put the Kiss song in there,” he jokes.) (What Wright wasn’t aware of was a Kiss song, also called “ Baby Driver,” which he kept being asked about when people heard the title of his movie. ‘Baby Driver,’ maybe I heard again and said, ‘Oh, that’s the perfect title for my movie-it’s about a young getaway driver!’ I always thought it should end on that.” I had the idea that I wanted to do a diegetic action-musical in that all the music in the film is happening in the scene. “There’s lots of things in this movie that were not suppressed things, but things that were bubbling away, but it wasn’t like I heard the song and came up with the movie. The movie is not based on the lyrics of that song, but there is that element of the character being sort of folklore-y in terms of this is somebody that tales are told of the ‘Baby Driver.’ It’s something that gave me that kind of vibe of being a character of some renown, like kind of infamous, this fast drier that’s known to the police but known by name.” “It’s one of those tracks where I was always curious about the lyrics of it. So I knew that album VERY well, and I used to really like that track.” They had a Motown ‘Chartbusters’ album, some Genesis albums, some Peter Gabriel albums, classical music and Bridge Over Troubled Water.
They had one Stones album–the first one–and then they had a bunch of Beatles albums, but they did not have Revolver, which was kind of funny to me. My parents had a box of 20 records, and that was it. Rex's "Debora" and Beck's "Debra" back to back seems to suggest an awkward or funny moment involving Lily James' character, Deborah.“I think ‘Baby Driver’ is the B-Side of ‘The Boxer.’ I knew it because probably my first experiences with music was my parents’ record collection. Danger Mouse (featuring Run The Jewels and Big Boi) – "Chase Me"ĭig a bit deeper into the soundtrack, and you'll notice a ton of tunes featuring the word "baby," which may indicate points in the narrative that center around the titular character for instance, "Something Is Wrong With My Baby" may hint that Baby will be injured later on in the film.
