What is the name of the song that is sung during the removal of the body from the house and then again at the end? It is also at the end of the trailer. It is not part of the Robin Coudert instrumental compositions. I would watch the movie again just to hear that song. What is it? Who sings it? How can you get a hold of it?
It’s the “Great white ocean”, by Antony and the Johnsons, amazing singer! My favorite sung by him is “Fistful of love”.
