The Power of Music in Liz and the Blue Bird

Liz and the Blue Bird is a movie I keep coming back to, and after seeing it enough times it's become one of the most musically effective films I have ever seen. There is a power to its music that really drives home the theme of connection, so I decided to break it down as best I could.
I'm a freak for some good tunes, what can I say?

It’s a bit of a crime that this channel isn’t more popular

[@mossjps23]

When I had recently rewatched Liz (along with the whole series in prep for S3) the very first thing that stood out to me was the music. And when I went to listen to the soundtrack on its own I was taken aback by the methodology at work, the fact that it wasn't just diegetic sounds I was listening to, but that it was simply a part of the soundtrack, that supradiegesis. When I listened to the soundtrack bereft of the context of the movie at work, it just felt so ethereal, because, I could still clearly picture and be within that space without fail, in a way that felt so deeply personal and interconnected to the whole of the movie, that it wasn't just a soundtrack I was listening to but the heart of what that piece of art in its entirety wanted to show.
So yeah this was very insightful, and I appreciate the amount of research and thoughtfulness put into this (and by virtue, putting into lucidity what I've been trying to synthesize about how I feel about the music in Liz as well). The whole music as a narrative frame is something that is just so special that LIz really does nail through and through
