Title: Steam Engine on Titanic 2 Soundtrack?
Post by: thebigbang on May 25, 2006, 02:56 PM
When I first heard the music at the 2:39 mark of this video (beginning when the Pepsi sign shows up) I thought it was MMJ from Steam Engine.  But after listening to Steam Engine again, I think it is very, very close, but not Steam Engine.

Can anyone identify the music?  Sounds really close to MMJ.  Maybe it came from the original movie.  The video is a joke compilation of Leonardo clips.

If the extremely long hyperlink below doesn't work, you can search "Titanic 2 video" on Yahoo and it pops up near the top of the list.

it was "The Only Living Boy in New York," by Simon and Garfunkel.

Thank you for identifying that.  I have the album and will play it this weekend to find that part of the song.  The beautiful harmonies make sense.

I read an interview where Jim James once said that Simon and Garfunkel were a favorite of his while growing up.  So maybe that inspired the Steam Engine background vocals.

If you didn't look at the video, someone cobbled together a bunch of movie clips to make a fake movie trailer for Titanic 2.  Parts of it are fairly clever, with the premise being that Leonardo's character was frozen in a block of ice and they thaw him out and he escapes into the modern world.

The funniest part is when he googles Rose to try and locate her.  Does he really want to find his 100 year old girlfriend who was a teenager the last time he saw her?

The video takes about four minutes. I wonder how long that took to be made?  Some folks have a lot of free time on their hands apparently.
