Yo, I'm posting something, too (again). And since I no longer have MP3 Intensity as an outlet for themed musical submissions, I'm abusing TSRE. Today's theme: Songs From Movies About Sunshine.
The brilliantly titled "Theme" from Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time. Essentially just an upright bass and a piano doing their thing for just over 2 minutes--songs don't get much simpler than this. Still, it's memorable. As subtly depressing as it is youthful and bright, this is song is ideal for getting all pensive and reflecting on life, if you're into that sorta thing.

The second track, "How It Ends," features the familiar synth/piano/violin theme that opened and recurred throughout Little Miss Sunshine. But the DeVotchKa original adds a whole new element to the piece with Nick Urata's quivering tenor vocals. He has a beautifully unique voice, naturally sorrowful, lamenting like nobody's business, and it works great with this song. The result is nothing short of the perfect tune for embracing an impending doom and feeling like shit. "You already know how this will end."

And lest you think I'm just a suicidal sappy vagina, here's an electro jam with a little adrenaline in the beat. A baller remix of Digitalism's "Pogo."
