Music Choice: 'All Good Things Come to an End'

I have chosen to use the song 'All Good Things Come to an End' by Nelly Furtado, in my film. My reasons for choosing this track are that I feel it is the song which suits my storyline the best, and both foreshadows events and represents current emotions simultaneously.

Now that I have chosen the song, I have explored several remixes to see if there is a sound I favour more to the original.

The Original:

Kaskade Radio Mix:

Instrumental:

Sprint Sessions:


Although researching various mixes of the song, I have decided to remain with the original. This is because I feel the 'Kaskade' remix detaches the emotion that the lyrics and music convey so well together, and I do not want to lose that effect. This is also the reason why I am not using the instrumental. The 'Sprint Sessions' style was still effective, but I feel that the sound of the original song is more suited to the opening scene. Also, it does not have the clear beat running underneath it, unlike the original. I feel the beat is important as it gives the song a more contemporary edge, suiting to Ben and Amy's age.
