Up With The Birds by Coldplay 

The song is so happy it could be sinister at the same time. 

 

The sky is blue

Send me up to that wonderful world... 

And then I'm up with the birds (the birdy Xeno or the Weyland megacorp emblem)

I understand juxtaposition of dark imagery against a happy sounding song, but I just don't feel it in this case tbh. I might be for NIN The Day the World Went Away but that is just my opinion.

I think the John Denver song was a lovely choice in the trailers. However, I wish it had been used in a different way in the movie.

joylitt Country Roads was an excellent choice. Problem was hardly anyone would have known if not seeing trailers first and being cued by Tennessee to Shaw's mumbling.

Thinking about it, yeah and I'm sorry if I grinded any gears but there was another song by Coldplay  called Midnight that really would've been a good choice. I chose this song because someone used Pure Imagination as a trailer song and it was generally known as a happy innocent song

Woolson Pure Imagination sung by Gene Wilder- that is great imo! The music even gets a bit off kilter to add some discomfort.

Found it, although someone could easily expand on it for the whole song. Thanks for the reminder.

I chose up with the birds because they had a rousing bridge that led to the guitar solo and it sends chills down my spine when i thought about Alien. And i was thinking about Pure Imagination as well, but Midnight mightve been a better choice because of its lyrics and use in other trailers. 

But ironically they have a new song called A L I E N S taking from our beloved Alien sequel lol

I guess nobody liked "Nature's boy"? That song was such a big give away about how the movie was going to be focused in David.

It would better fit for a movie like Blade Runner 2049 or some sci fi film

I like The Day the World Went Away- the music is in a major key, the lyrics tell a dark tale that is ambiguous enough to relate to David. I guess we all have our favorites.

Woolson What kind of music do you really think is on the Billboard Chart in the year 2104?

I guess since my generation is so hell bent on nostalgia, maybe some country, hip hop, pop and retro style songs. But i bet its gonna be more trashy EDM and pop music

Woolson Here it is with lyrics. Minimal and effective- sort of how David may be thinking with what he is doing and talking about Weyland too.

Its a great song, very edgy, they couldve used this in a trailer focusing on Daniels or maybe the shower scene. Good pick
