The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor

This week on The Soundtrack, Haley Taylor explores the second lives of movie songs — the covers that escape the screen and become something entirely new. From John Martyn’s hushed folk take on “Singin’ in the Rain” to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s late-night ukulele version of “Over the Rainbow,” these are songs that began in service of story but grew into cultural memory — melodies that survive by changing, long after the credits roll.

 

Haley Taylor hosts “The Soundtrack,” every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following #TheSoundtrack on Instagram.
