More music...

Took my nephew to Prince Caspian a couple of weekends ago.

Quite aside from my mild disappointment at the rather serious modifications to the story--which I understand, there's not a lot of "there" there in Prince Caspian the book--there were some great songs during the credits.

This is the best of them, IMO.

The Call, by Regina Spektor.



Interesting note:

The words to the poem "The Call" by George Herbert can be slipped into this tune without too much trouble though you do lose some of the rhythmic motion that Regina's words supply.

I like 'em both. Besides, I have Vaughan Williams version of Herbert's words to fall back on. :)
