If you’ve enjoyed reading this blog, at all, over the past two years then I reckon at least a part of your heart identifies with mine. And now that I’ve established this as a fact I must tell you, immediately, that you should take a break from your hectic life and see Jason Segel’s performance in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Granted the movie is a bit dumbed down and crass, even sophmoric, at times, but overall it’s a surprisingly well written and well acted piece of dude oriented romantic comedy.
But this is a music blog, and I don’t talk about movies unless there’s music to be heard in them. And let me tell you, not only does this movie have a pretty sweet soundtrack it also contains one of the best concept songs I have ever heard. The lyrics are brilliant, the music is solid, and the execution {and placement in the film} are simply flawless. Yes, flawless. For those of you who haven’t or won’t see the movie here’s the brief context of this song. Jason Segel’s character writes music and in his spare time he is using his considerable talent to write a musical about the life of Dracula. This is the best song.

The sound quality on this isn’t the absolute greatest and for that I apologize. If you’d like a better version it can be found on the Forgetting Sarah Marshall soundtrack (amazon) (itunes).

quero dizer que amo Jason Segel!!!
That song is incredible! You can hear the pain in each and every word. The musical accompanyment is perfect. I can’t get the song out of my head.
