Featured in the opening credits of the new Netflix film “Close” (https://www.netflix.com/title/80207371), starring Noomi Rapace (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).
Candy Says were asked to cover the song by director Vicky Jewson, who wanted a new version that fit the mood of the film. The lead character Sam (Rapace) is a badass bodyguard who tries to keep her humanity and emotional fragility out of sight. The band collaborated with the film’s composer Marc Canham to create a cinematic track that prefigures the brooding menace of the brutal score but also gives the audience a taste of the intense emotion that Sam will eventually reveal. The new version had to be approved by Kate Bush herself, and the band were thrilled that after a nail-biting few days she gave it her blessing.
Words and music by Kate Bush
Recorded by Candy Says & Marc Canham
