This Must Be The Place – The Soundtrack

David Byrne with Paolo Sorrentino, Sean Penn, and others in the cast of This Must Be The Place

Italian director Paolo Sorrentino’s This Must Be The Place, the soon to be released English language movie starring Sean Penn takes it name from a song from The Talking Heads – and David Byrne, of The Talking Heads, gives the film its soundtrack. The soundtrack album has six songs (five original) credited to the Pieces Of Shit, a group that isn’t really a group but just a collaboration by Byrne, Gary Oldham, who wrote the lyrics, and Michael Brunnock, who sang the songs.

The soundtrack includes a live cover of the 1984 song, This Must Be The Place, sung by Byrne, who plays himself in the movie.
