The Room 2003 Album

Mladen Milicevic

My mom returned from the grocery to pick me up from the church, and I’ll tell you, the church parking lot is surreal; the streetlamp lights are blazing and everything looks straight out of some gritty detective film. Today, blue clouds in like I dunno a blackish greyish bluish (I looked up words for this and all of them were stupid words like “pidgeon blue” “mystery blue” “dark-blue colored blue” I dunno man) shrouded the sky and I reminded myself that I wanted to get back into #filmsoundtracklyfe because after watching The Disaster Artist with my parents (we’ve all collectively been VERY far down the Wiseau rabbit hole as of late, I can’t go a day without thinking about the scene where Mark cruelly thrashes Denny against a trash can for relaying an embarrassing story [Underwear, seriously dude?]) and I was watching the movie thinking, “this soundtrack’s excellent!” And after I couldn’t find it on YouTube, I settled for another movie with, honestly, a fantastic soundtrack. When divorced from The Room itself, this is a near Badalamenti-level quality soundtrack. Okay maybe not THAT good but it’s great. And I taught myself the intro to the opening theme on piano although I’m still getting the left hand movements/chords worked out. Anyway, rain’s lightly pelting the windshield and the mysterious whimsy of this excellent soundtrack compliments the scene. Rain appearing oily and black in the moonlight like tar coats the road and forms puddles. The moon looks most excellent tonight! A waning crescent.
