.SimpsonSturgill brings classic country to TheDeadDontDie theme song
has a very simple life lesson he wants to impart on the title track to director Jim Jarmusch's new zombie film,: "Oh, the dead don't die/ Anymore than you or I/ They're just ghosts inside a dream/ Of a life that we don't own." That's what Simpson drawls on the classic country track that was released on Thursday in advance of Friday's big screen debut of the indie darling's all-star undead film.
Knowing that the song had to carry the title of the film made writing it a bit easier, but after reading the script Simpson was challenged by writing a track that was not from his personal perspective. "This was fun. It was a lot of fun," he said.
The film stars Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Selena Gomez, Tilda Swinton, Tom Waits, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Rosie Perez, Carol Kane, Luka Sabbat, RZA and Iggy Pop and Simpson -- who makes a cameo -- and the artist's name is dropped throughout, including a scene in which Driver and Murray are driving in a car listening to the track.
