Beach Bum (2019) Lyrics

Overview of "The Beach Bum" Soundtrack.

The 2019 soundtrack album "The Beach Bum," directed by Harmony Korine, truly feels human and does the entire plot, the characters, and the dire to the core. The album was primarily composed by John Debney and features contributions by varied artists - rock, reggae, and folk artists.

Notable Tracks and Musical Highlights

Key tracks include the laid-back beachy classics "A Pirate Looks at Forty" by Jimmy Buffett and "Key Largo," performed live, by Bertie Higgins & MoMoDog, perfectly setting the tone for the film's Florida Keys location.

Other big tunes, like "Margaritaville" from Jimmy Buffett, and covers such as "Into the Mystic" from Van Morrison, furthered the laid-back and sometimes zany feel of the music.

About the Film "The Beach Bum"

"The Beach Bum" is the hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy following the misadventures of Moondog, a rebellious rogue with a love for life and fun. But the film appears to be Moondog at his best, high. The film stars Matthew McConaughey as the irreverently eccentric and inspirational plot featuring a motley supporting cast of characters played by Snoop Dogg.

It is a comedy that plunges into rebellion and life off the beaten track, with the Florida Keys providing the most brilliant staging for Moondog's adventures.

Composer and Musical Style

John Debney's music takes up a large hand in shaping the sound to all of this. Debney is one of the most versatile composers working today, and his work for "The Beach Bum" is chock full of vibrant, yet mellow tunes perfectly in line with the film's screwy, wide-open sensibility.

Album Release and Formats

The soundtrack comes out on March 22, 2019, through Milan Records, in collector's edition, including a bunch of formats like CD, digital, and vinyl. The vinyl version, especially, is highly appreciated, since it complies with high-quality standards, by none other than the fans, as special collectible. The soundtrack doesn't just feel in place with the aesthetics and narrative of the film but comes off as a wonderful, vibrant mix of tracks that highlight Moondog's eccentric, laid-back existence.
