    Hey,
    I hope your reply to this. Could you please help me download this song. I am on a mac and every time I hit “download” wake up.mp3, It opens up a new tab. Haha Is it supposed to do that? How do I get it on my Itunes?

    Thanks a bunch.
    You are the only person I found with the acoustic version.

    That is default Firefox behavior on a Mac. You need to right-click the link and choose “save link as” and then select where you want to save. Then you can just drag it into iTunes. (in iTunes preferences, under the advanced tab, be sure the box next to ‘copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to the library’ is checked.

    Joe,
    I have a suggestion. I suggest that you have a player that will play one song after another. WIll you implement my suggestion?

    I’m a bit disappointed. There has to be a full version of this version somewhere. I could have ripped the audio from the trailer myself.

    Maybe you could. But you didn’t. Could you make a bad ass flash movie like that to go along with the song? I didn’t think so.

    If any of you like psychedelic rock n roll with good song writing check out our album I Want To Talk To God. You can download it for free at http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zadnl2tyod1 this is not your typical modern rock music. This will make you feel. Give it a quick listen at http://www.myspace.com/stealtheprize
    Love you all.

    I just wanted to say — THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for putting up this song!!!! Even though it’s just the shortened version from the trailer, it’s all I really needed, since the single probably won’t be released for another month. I am thanking you because I am trying to put together a playlist for my boyfriend before he leaves to the Peace Corps and he loves this trailer and this song, but it’s so hard to find this version.

    So, again, THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

    Right click on the download link ( cmd click if your mouse only has one button ) and choose save link as. That’s all there is to it.

    I have a version from KCRW that sounds very close to the trailer version, but isn’t. It’s still great.

    I’m on my phone right now, so when I’m at home (if anyone wants it) I’ll upload it.

    Thank goodness. I love this version. I’ve been stuck on your site listening to almost every song in the archive. You are my hero is basically all I’ve got to say.

    Best comment ever. Maybe it will inspire me to stop being so lazy and get around to Music Refinery V.3.

    This is from their 2004 album Funeral, so it shouldn’t be hard to find. I just got it for free with that Amazon promo for the holidays( I promise I’m no spam bot, you get no links from me! )

    aaaaaand this is when I realize that they re-recorded it for the movie sound track. *shrug* oh well. I still love the song.

    Man, I thought everyone knew it was an old song. My bad, I should have said something a while ago. But this version is very different from the Funeral version. Definitely more souped up for a movie soundtrack.

    there is no full version, this was re-recorded specifically for the film. maybe it will come out on a soundtrack once the film is released.

    Thanks for the clip though!
