Lauren's Opus (The Straight Story vs Opus III)

The Reborn Identity: "Lauren's Opus"

Angelo Badalamenti: Laurens Walking (from The Straight Story)
Opus III: It's a Fine Day

A simple intent from a genuine-hearted man, Alvin Straight, is the focus of The Straight Story. He will journey across two states in order to visit his estranged brother who's recently suffered a stroke. Hitching a trailer to his lawn tractor, he sets off from Laurens, Iowa. His destination: Mount Zion, Wisconsin.

The modest optimism of the film and its soundtrack are given a more hopeful lift here by Opus III's It's a Fine Day. Sweet and lilting, the track transports us to a place alongside Alvin, watching the landscape pass by, most any simple thing seeming possible.

From the album Mashed in Plastic http://www.mashedinplastic.co.uk

Anybody that would take a work of Genius, and screw it up like this should be flogged to death.

@wojack1000 Do I not at least get a stay of execution for (a) having the good taste to like the track in the first place and (b) introducing more people to its beauty?

You complete twat.

What a complete lack of understanding about music you have so artfully demonstrated here.

Crafted with all the subtlety of a hammer to the nuts. Please don't do that again.

[mashedinplastic]

@deathinthetoilet Not a fan then? Fair enough - you can't please everyone. There's a lot of people who would disagree with you though

I don't understand all the hate. It has a lovely feel to it. I dig.

@mashedinplastic I'm one of the disagreers--this is absolutely beautiful. Probably one of the most beautiful mixed I've ever been fortunate enough to listen to.
