Just Some Lovin' For The Giver Soundtrack

Seeing as how The Giver officially hit Canadian theatres August 11th, it seems only fair we take a moment to give some love to its soundtrack. 

Now if you grew up in the North American school system, there is about a 90% chance you read Lois Lowry’s novel in school. Now personally, this book was a favourite growing up and its pretty much the most exciting thing to finally see it getting some screen love. 

And we really do mean finally. Jeff Bridges (who also stars in the film) has been working to bring this novel to movie screens for 18 years. Now the film joins the ranks of other recent dystopian box-office smashes notably, Divergent and The Hunger Games films. 

The movie’s soundtrack features 10 perfectly chosen songs, including tracks from Jake Bugg, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Capital Cities. Additionally, an original song by OneRepublic entitled Ordinary Human leads the soundtrack and can be checked out in the lyric video posted above (seriously just hit play, its great). 

With a soundtrack as good as this one, and a book as great as The Giver backing it, there’s no doubt the film is going to be equally as amazing and I for one am beyond excited to finally get to go see it this week. 

Side note: The film also stars songstress Taylor Swift, who’s mysterious live stream containing some sort of big announcement starts at 5:00 pm tomorrow (!!) on Yahoo and can be found here. Do we smell a new album? I seriously hope so.
