Santaolalla transferred his musical efforts to film soundtracks in the late 1990s, producing albums for the films Amores Perros, 21 Grams and The Motorcycle Diaries. Currently based in California where he first moved in 1978, he contributed to the instrumental music for the soundtrack to the 2005 Ang Lee film, Brokeback Mountain, from which the "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" song won the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Santaolalla has received a 2006 Academy Award for Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score) for Brokeback Mountain. His most recent work is featured on the soundtrack for the movie Babel, which has been directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who also directed the movies Amores Perros and 21 Grams. His work for Babel was honoured as well with the Academy Award for Original Score in 2007.
In addition to his film work, Santaolalla has acted as the producer of Gaby Kerpel's Carnabailito and co-produced the Kronos Quartet's Nuevo, an album which renders homage to the rich musical heritage of Mexico. He has also been part of the resurgent neo-tango movement, as prime mover behind the Bajofondo Tango Club collective.
The Choice
Gustavo Santaolalla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the lyrics to Gustavo Santaolalla's song The Choice are instrumental, there are no specific words to interpret. However, the music itself conveys a strong and emotive message through the combination of melody and harmony. The song begins with a slow and introspective introduction that captures a sense of yearning and contemplation. The main theme of the melody is carried throughout the song by a soft and delicate guitar, supported by a sparse and subtle arrangement of percussion and strings.
The overall feeling of the music is one of reflection and introspection, as if the listener is contemplating a difficult decision or a critical turning point in their life. The slow tempo and fragile phrasing of the guitar evoke a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, while the gentle harmonies provide a feeling of warmth and comfort.
The Choice is a beautiful and evocative piece of music that speaks to the listener on an emotional level, without the need for lyrics. It is a testament to Gustavo Santaolalla's talent as a musician and composer, and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion through his art.

TLOU- Game
"What did you do, Joel?"
....."I saved her"
TLOU-HBO (comparing the game with the tv show)
it makes sense when Ellie reads Bill's letter to Joel that there's one life worth saving for. For Bill, he saved Frank and protected him. For Tess, she saved both Joel and Ellie by surrendering to FEDRA (game) /gave her life to a runner and then detonating the building (hbo).
For Joel, even though he lost everything- Sarah, Tess, Bill and Frank but Joel still has Ellie and that he saves her.
