We were so impressed with the submissions that it took us some time to come to a decision, and have decided to share a few of our favorite runners-up in the following days.
U2 has licensed from our office the use of Chaplin’s final speech from The Great Dictator to open their 2018 “eXPERIENCE & iNNOCENCE Tour” in European venues.
Watch the original speech here:
In 1959, Chaplin released The Chaplin Revue, comprising three of his early silent films (A Dog’s Life, Shoulder Arms and The Pilgrim) with an orchestral music track he composed with the help of his music associate, Eric james. Chaplin also wrote the lyrics for The Pilgrim’s title song, “Bound for Texas”, which was sung by Matt Munro.
In the coming days, we’ll publish a new track from the original soundtracks of A Dog’s Life, Shoulder Arms and The Pilgrim once a day on Youtube so you can listen from anywhere! Subscribe to our Youtube channel to keep up with our daily posts.
