Musical Monday: Kavinsky

One of many things I like about my son is that he’s a movie buff like me. When he was younger I introduced him to many great films (Godfather series, Dirty Harry series, Fistfull of Dollars series etc etc).

He is 18 now and for the past few years he has introduced me to movies that I might not otherwise have seen. Last night he lent me the DVD of “Drive” (2011) starring Ryan Gosling. I’m a fan of Gosling having first seen him in the film “Fracture” (2007) with Anthony Burgess.

Nightcall by Kavinsky is featured in the opening credits of Drive.

Nightcall

I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m gonna show you where it’s dark, but have no fear

There’s something inside you
It’s hard to explain
They’re talking about you boy
But you’re still the same

There’s something inside you
It’s hard to explain
They’re talking about you boy
But you’re still the same

There’s something inside you (there’s something inside you)
It’s hard to explain (it’s hard to explain)
They’re talking about you boy (they’re talking about you boy)
But you’re still the same
