David Byrne shares withering music video from the Musk soundtrack
David Byrne and Daniel Pemberton share the music video from "Let Me Sell You A Dream" from the new documentary Musk .
David Byrne, known for his work with the Talking Heads, has added a new song to the soundtrack of Alex Gibney's documentary about Elon Musk. The track, titled "Let Me Sell You A Dream," was created in collaboration with composer Daniel Pemberton. The song's lyrics, such as "My daddy used to tell me / tell me I was no good," seem to reflect the musicians' sentiments about Musk.
The accompanying music video features a figure similar to the Iron Man character, using the suit to destroy employees at Twitter. Byrne isn't new to creating music for films; a few years ago, he, Mitski, and Ryan Lott received an Oscar nomination for "This Is A Life," which was featured in the soundtrack of Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Although "Naatu Naatu" from RRR won the award, Byrne's new song might find a place in the Dolby Theater. Musk is set to premiere in theaters in New York and Los Angeles this Friday, with a nationwide release on October 16.
