MOVIE SOUNDTRACK FEATURE: "FORTUNATE SON"
Creedence Clearwater Revival "Fortunate Son"
I am confident to say that most of you have probably seen or at least heard of the movie Forrest Gump. It's one of my favorite films, and it's regarded as a classic by most in the cinema industry. The soundtrack is one that does a great job of choosing songs that go along with the times or events featured in the movie. It reached #2 on the Billboard 200, and ended at 88 on the Billboard 200 chart of the decade. There seems to be something about soundtracks that primarily use old songs that bring out a bit of nostalgia. I feel like it allows people to rediscover their love for songs they had forgotten about. We've seen this with the Guardians of the Galaxy series, and Forrest Gump is similar. "Fortunate Son" specifically is the poster child protest song of the Vietnam War Era. It is in the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress as being historically and culturally relevant. Today's post is a perfect combination of a classic movie with a classic song.
