The movie is just okay, not like amazing, Amanda Seyfried is stunning tho. One interesting thing about this film is the film is actually like a promotional film for the city of Toronto. The film was shot in downtown toronto and it shows tons of landmarks of Toronto and I have to say Toronto has never been this pretty before in the history of movie. The film even shows the real names of the restaurants that the characters go, which is rather strange for a movie to do. Therefore, it makes so much sense that the movie chose a Canadian band for the theme song. The one they chose was Violet Light by Raised by Swan and I absolutely love it. Check out their other songs too, they are amazing.

Raised by Swans - Violet Light
Just watched Chloe today, so I have to talk about this band, Raised by Swan. To be very honest, Although I've lived in Canada for years, I really don't know much about Canadian bands and musicians, I know thats a shame, but I guess most of the Canadian musics are just not my cup of tea.

Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear
Joanna Newsom is an American harpist, pianist, singer-songwriter. The first time I listened to this song, the song was performed by Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy. At the time I didn't know it was a cover song and Owen Pallett's version of the song is just lovely. Later on I realized this song actually has an original version and the singer is called Joanna Newsom, who wrote the song as well. However, I wasn't sure if I like it when I first played her version because she sang with a very special, weird voice. A voice of an old hag and an insolent child. However, after watching her live performance on youtube, I changed my view of her. Her unique voice does suit the song very well and I started to like it more and more.

Lali Puna - Together in Electric Dreams
lets have somthing mellow today. :)
Lali Puna is electronica band that base in Germany. When I first heard of this song I've decided I got to get the whole album. I really really love this song and other Lali Puna's musics. I usually found it very hard to communicate with electro musics but I found this Puna's musics are very easy to be sunk into.

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
Tom's Diner probably is one of the most important and successful song in Suzanne Vega's music career. The version that we usually hear is probably the one that features the English dance pop group DNA, however, her song was originally recorded in a cappella style in 1981 (because she didn't know how to play piano at the time). The song in the following video is a version that edited by a youtuber who merge the Vage's a cappella style of the song with his own piano. Pretty interesting.
