Songs that feel like Interstellar (2014)
A vast, aching love story between a father and daughter stretched across time and space, where awe at the cosmos is shadowed by loss, duty and the fragile hope of survival.
- Experience by Ludovico Einaudi: A rising, pulsing string-and-piano build that captures the film's swell of wonder and emotional release.
- S.T.A.Y. by Hans Zimmer: Spare, trembling piano and organ that carry the heartbreak of a parent and child pulled apart.
- Space Oddity by David Bowie: The archetypal tale of an astronaut drifting away from home and into silence.
- Music For A Found Harmonium by Penguin Cafe Orchestra: A less obvious, tender, wistful melody with the warmth of human connection amid the vastness.
- Weightless by Marconi Union: Slowly drifting ambient pulses echo the floating, hibernating stillness of the long voyage.
