 I am seriously looking forward to catching the documentary Young @ Heart( watch the trailer here), which is about a chorus of people in their 80’s singing songs by Coldplay, The Ramones, and Talking Heads to name a few.  Just watching this performance of Coldplay’s “Fix You”, sounds so different sung by an ailing elder.  Almost more meaningful as alot of things can be when coming from the mouth of someone older and wiser.  I honestly hope I am in a choir like this when I am 80.  

Young @ Heart - “Fix You” ( caution: tears might actually stream down your face watching this clip)

Apparantly there is a limited release on April 18th.

This Just In:  Young @ Heart have also backed David Byrne on his song “One Fine Day”.  Soon they will be on a bill with Vampire Weekend and Arcade Fire.
