[2026 Edition] Latest Western Movie Theme and Insert Songs (21–30)
Chandelier (Four Tet Remix)Sia
One of the most talked-about companies in today’s film industry, A24, distributed the horror film “Talk to Me,” which is also known for marking the directorial debut of the popular YouTubers, the RackaRacka duo—brothers Danny and Michael Philippou.
The film’s soundtrack features “Chandelier,” a song by the world-renowned singer-songwriter Sia, who is known for keeping her face hidden.
It appears as a remix by the acclaimed electronica artist Four Tet.
As for which scene it’s used in, watch the film to find out!
The Magic NumberDe La Soul
Do you know the song “The Magic Number”? It’s a track by the American hip-hop group De La Soul, included on their 1989 album 3 Feet High and Rising.
Many of you might recognize it as the song that played over the end credits of the film Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Ever since seeing the movie, it has that addictive quality that you just can’t get out of your head, doesn’t it? The number “3,” which symbolizes the film, also appears in the song, and the lyrics—almost as if they were written for the movie—are particularly worth noting.
Stars In The SkyKid Cudi
American rapper Kid Cudi has also found success as an actor in recent years.
In 2022, he released “Stars In The Sky,” a song written specifically for the film Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
What’s especially noteworthy is the fantastic music video in which Kid Cudi and Sonic appear together.
It has a solid narrative and feels closer to a movie than a typical music video.
Hold My Hand (From “Top Gun: Maverick”)Lady Gaga
“Hold My Hand” is the theme song for Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the classic Top Gun.
It captures a grand, sweeping feel while aligning with the film’s themes.
Lady Gaga, who created the track, has said she “worked on this song for years,” conveying her love for the project.
The music video features scenes not only from this film but also from the original Top Gun, making it a moving MV that stirs the hearts of both longtime fans and newcomers.
Angels Are FallingLinda Perry
The film To Leslie depicts the life of a woman who won the lottery.
The trailer features the song Angels Are Falling.
Written specifically for the film by singer-songwriter Linda Perry, its lyrics compellingly echo the movie’s themes.
Specifically, it portrays a woman in despair praying to God.
Combined with its country-tinged, dusty sound, the song is deeply moving.
Something In The WayNirvana
Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” featured in The Batman, released in Japan in 2022, is a track marked by Kurt Cobain’s dark, oppressed-sounding vocals that leave a lasting impression.
Their second album Nevermind, which includes this song, became a massive hit upon its 1991 release, not only catapulting Nirvana to worldwide fame but also helping to establish grunge as a new genre of rock.
It remains a landmark album that continues to shine in the history of rock.
God Only KnowsThe Beach Boys
Have you seen the film “LAMB” yet? This one is a horror movie with fantasy elements.
It portrays a very unique world and carries strong religious messages.
The trailer for the film used “God Only Knows,” a song released in 1966 by the rock band The Beach Boys.
The title means “Only God knows.” It’s as if the song were made specifically for this movie.
I hope you’ll give it another listen after you’ve watched the film.
