Faith, violence, a casualty of the 2nd world war and the birth-place of psychedelic music. Canterbury - a city in the garden of England has a rich history and it's against this backdrop that the band 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' formed in the winter of 2003 and attempted to create music as vast and haunting in sound as the city's cathedral itself.
Alastair Blackwood (vocals), Nick Watts (guitar), Will Hasler (bass) and Graeme Blackwood (drums) originally having grown up in different parts of the UK including a few years in the U.S. met while studying at university and discovered they shared a mutual love of film soundtracks - the source of inspiration for the band name and not - as many people assume - the track by Radiohead. As a result, they decided to form a band with the express purpose of combining the fragility of Thomas Newman, the ethereal beauty of Jon Hopkins & Cocteau Twins with the power, aggression and sonic theatrics of Hans Zimmer, Muse and Arcade Fire.
Having released their debut album 'The Shapes We Fear Are Of Our Own' in March 2010, the band were asked to play a Maida Vale session for BBC Introducing, won the Camden Crawl Emerging Talent DIY award and rounded the year off with a slot at the Reading & Leeds festival. Motion Picture Soundtrack have now returned to the music scene after a lengthy absence having finally completed work on their second album 'Iconoclast' (due for release early 2015).
'Piano IV' is the first track to be taken from the album and will be released on 1st December 2014. Cinematic, anthemic, full of purpose and energy - Piano IV is a joyous statement of intent from a band who have endured a difficult and protracted few years writing, self-producing, engineering and mixing this record entirely on their own. The release signifies the quality of material to be found on the forthcoming album and is both a more immediate and cinematic experience than its predecessor.

LYRICS
¿Oye, qué pasó? Blackout! Blackout!
Vino el apagón, ¡Ay dios!
¿Oye, qué pasó? Blackout! Blackout!
Vino el apagón, ¡Ay dios!
We are powerless, we are powerless
We are powerless, we are powerless
Somebody better open these goddamn doors
Somebody better open these goddamn doors
Somebody better open these goddamn doors
I can't find Usnavi!
Vanessa! (Nina where'd you go?)
Has anyone seen Benny? (Nina where'd you go?)
Vanessa! (Nina where'd you go?)
Usnavi! (I can't find you)
It's getting hotter in the street, everybody is nervous
Hey yo, we gotta be at Usnavi's street, lights out of service
Because we're powerless, our hour is at hand (It's you and me)
You know what we gotta do (Illuminate the community)
When this box ignite, we gon' light up the night
Bottle rockets don't go locus everybody let's focus
Gather round, these are free, grab your ammo and stack up
Gimme a light till the power comes back up, back up! Back up!
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks, fly
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks, fly
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)
Mira, mi amor, házme un favor (Oh god, so much panic)
Despiérta la abuela y a lo mejor ella tiene una vela (The crowd was manic, with everybody screaming-)
Estuve bailando cuando vino el apagón (And shoving and shouting and slapping and everyone's frantic)
Aqui hay gente pero no sé quienes son! (What's happening with you?)
Usnavi (Yeah! Vanessa)
You abandoned me (Yo, what are you talking about?)
Usnavi all night, you barely even danced with me
Don't make me laugh, I've been trying all night
You've been shaking your ass for like half of the Heights (Real nice)
You barely gave me a chance all evening (What?)
Do I get another dance? (I'm leaving)
Vanessa!
I gotta go!
Don't walk away from us tonight (I don't need anything tonight)
I can find my way home (Keep running away from home)
Without you
Without you
Look at the fireworks
Abeula, are you alright?
Light up the night sky
The stars are out tonight
Look at the fireworks
You're not alone tonight
Light up the night sky
You're not alone tonight
Look at the fireworks (look at the fireworks)
Look at the fireworks (look at the fireworks)
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky), en Washington
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)

The "look at the fireworks fly, light up the night sky" chorus always gives me chills
Kristina Lopez
It instantly reminds me of Disney harmonies - specifically Main Street USA era vibes. We all know Lin loves Disney and this song chorus truly embodies it.
Alphamikee
I was shocked the first time I heard it
Mia Fine
Me too :) Lin just does these magic musical moments
Manuel Orozco
I have loved it since 2010

I really like the way they did the "Abuela, are you alright?" line. Instead of it being Usnavi and Abuela alone in the room after he's gone to check on her by himself, they're in a room full of friends but in the excitement Usnavi still notices that something is up and leans over to quietly ask if she's okay. I just really like that. I like that it's him picking up on something being off with her.
Manuel Orozco
I did not expect it

シJulia I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect. Unless we watched different versions of the movie, the line “Abuela are you alright?” as heard in this song came at the point where they were gathered in her apartment playing Bingo. The scene in her bedroom comes moments after.

@Julia Marshall you are talking about the Broadway version, not the movie.
