\n\tNick Cave and The National\u2019s Bryce Dessner have joined forces to compose the title track to the new Netflix film, Train Dreams<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe film, which premiered at Sundance in January, receives a wider release in November. Directed by Clint Bentley, it\u2019s based on the 2011 novella by late author Denis Johnson, with Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon and William H. Macy cast in main roles.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile Dessner composed the film\u2019s score, his collaboration with Cave plays over the film\u2019s end credits, having co-produced the track alongside Luis Almau.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen we started thinking about making a song for the film, Nick felt like the perfect artist to do it,\u201d Bentley said of Cave\u2019s involvement. \u201cIt turns out that Train Dreams<\/em> is one of his all-time favorite books, but he initially feared there wouldn\u2019t be time to do something because he was getting ready to go on tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThen he watched the film and was inspired to write something and the whole thing came together really quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBentley notes that while he was certain Cave would create something \u201cbeautiful and resonant,\u201d he felt slight apprehension of the final result being something that captures the emotive tone of the film\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBut Nick and I were very much on the same page from the outset,\u201d he explained. \u201cHe read some early lyrics to me that he was working on and I was just really a bit overwhelmed with the whole situation \u2014 I\u2019ve been a fan of his for such a long time and there I was, not only having a really lovely conversation with him about life and art, but he was also reading lyrics to me that he was writing for a film I made. It was a really special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tTrain Dreams<\/em> will be released to theatres on Nov. 7 ahead of a Netflix premiere two weeks later on Nov. 21. The film\u2019s soundtrack will receive a digital release on Nov. 7 with a vinyl issue arriving the following week on Nov. 14.<\/p>\n \n\tHear a preview of the Cave and Dessner\u2019s \u201cTrain Dreams\u201d below.<\/p>\n
