Steal The Show
"The Soundtrack of Your LifeOpen in new Window. | Day 15
"Steal The Show" by Lauv


Elemental was one of my favorite animated movies from last year, and this original song from the film is something that's been in a regular rotation on my playlist ever since. I really like Lauv as an artist, and the message behind this song (and the movie) is really touching. I was surprised to hear that the movie was poorly received at first, but then that rumor seemed to get dispelled as the movie gained popularity throughout its release window. I think it's a really touching story about family obligations and expectations, and juxtaposing that against giving yourself the opportunity to be surprised by life and by love.

I really like this video because it also captures a bit of what I think makes the movie so special; the filmmakers did an amazing job creating the world of Element City and showing how these four very different elements live together in the same place. It was a beautiful film, and an impressive follow-up to his prior directing effort for Pixar, The Good Dinosaur. Fun fact... he also played the voice of Emile in Ratatouille!
