Sharon Van Etten recorded a new song entitled “Quiet Eyes” for the feature film Past Lives. The Celine Song-directed movie premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival.
Past Lives was released by A24 in the United States on June 2. Song’s feature directorial debut co-stars Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro. The film’s synopsis describes the story as:
Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Two decades later, they are reunited in New York for one fateful week as they confront notions of destiny, love, and the choices that make a life, in this heartrending modern romance.
Regarding the song “Quiet Eyes” and its use within the movie, Van Etten wrote:
“The idea of past lives, who I used to be, what I could have been, people I lost touch with, parts of myself I lost along the way… is a beautiful, intangible, relatable concept that Celine Song so gracefully explores in her story, Past Lives.
“With deep longing and compassion, Celine revisits past, present, future selves… lives. When asked to contribute a song to the end title of this extraordinary, evocative A24 production, I reached out to my friend and collaborator Zachary Dawes. We have a natural bond making cinematic, timeless songs together.
“‘Quiet Eyes,’ which we named the track, was our attempt at embodying the innocence of youth, mourning of loss, and acceptance of the present. Memories. Love. Friendship. I cannot wait for you to watch Past Lives. Prepare to be moved in places you forgot were there.
“Thank you Celine Song and A24 for bringing Zach and I along for the ride. You make such important work.”
Past Lives is showing in theaters around the U.S. Stream Sharon Van Etten’s contribution to the soundtrack, “Quiet Eyes,” below:
