Songs by Adam Daniel in George Clooney Film “The Descendants”
By adamdaniel | November 8, 2011
Fans and friends, have you seen previews on TV for George Clooney’s new film The Descendants? I’m thrilled to share with you that two songs I wrote with my alt-country band The Flutterbies can be heard in the film! You won’t hear my voice or playing on “Hummingbird Heart” and “Faith in Rain,” but I wrote music and lyrics for both tunes with the band’s singer Maureen. The tracks are background in a pivotal scene near the end of the movie. They also happen to be my two favorites from The Flutterbies debut EP The Flutterbies featuring Maureen Davis.
The Descendants is directed by Alexander Payne, the auteur behind Sideways, About Schmidt, and Election. A deep drama, it’s already generating Oscar buzz. My sincere thanks to Music Supervisor Dondi Bastone for the placement, and Maureen for the collaboration.
The film opens nationwide November 16. Click this link for more information, and to stream previews: www.foxsearchlight.com/thedescendants
