Congratulations Brian! This shows Love and Mercy is loved by the people who have watched it and that the songs Brian wrote for the movie, in this case One Kind of Love, strike a chord with cineasts.

Nice one. Thanks for the news and congrats Bw

That's cool! Congratulations Brian!


I stand by my opinion though: the verses are great, the chorus average. The verses would deserve better imo



EDIT:

wow I like that poster... if they ever decide to release a soundtrack THAT poster should be in the case...hint hint...

Brian will really get a kick out of this...

Hot damn. How excellent.  ;D

Best song on NPP. Anyone know if this one originates from the Thomas sessions in the 90s or is it later?

Scott Bennett is the cowriter and Thomas isn't, so I'd guess "later". And I agree wholeheartedly - best song on NPP.

Cheers, still waiting for the vinyl to be released here in Germany.

It's one of two songs Brian wrote for L & M at the request , I believe, of the director.

Such a great song. Far and away the standout track of NPP. Musically and lyrically awesome.

Ray's statement that One Kind Of Love was written especially for the movie is very important. To be eligible for an Academy Award nomination as Best Song, a song must have been written specifically for the film in which it is used. I think there's a very real possibility that Brian could get an Oscar nomination next January/February...and wouldn't THAT be a cool new item on his resume?

Is the other one also on NPP, or has it not been released?

Well done Brian! The best track on NPP by some margin.

Congrats Brian and Scott..

Such a wonderful song, by far my favourtie song on NPP.....At the moment  ;D

Also, that poster is awesome.

I wanna buy one.

Nice for Brian but also kind of a surprise.  I felt "One Kind of Love" was one of the more average songs off the new album...pleasant enough but unremarkable. 

Bet the other one is "Gone Away Ghost"!  :lol  jk!
