This was a crazy ride of exploring many different colors/sounds/tones for so many months. If you’re curious what inspired me while working on the soundtrack, and what I was listening to while composing, then you’ll enjoy this. Mostly for all the super nerds out there, ha. But yeah, check out the playlist on Spotify now.

Here’s a little more info on the soundtrack from the article:
Coinciding with the US release of The Card Counter on September 10th, this thirteen-track collection began as a one-song project but evolved into something much greater – Levon Been has composed several other original songs for this revenge thriller, as well as much of the film’s instrumental score and sound design.

Posted today on BRMC and Robert Levon Been’s YouTube pages, another new track from The Card Counter soundtrack!
when your silent eyes won’t speak but you can’t feel the quiet and your strumming all the strings but there’s nothing but darkness with your crying eyes it’s only your prayers that your fighting and the way is shown but you can’t see the world without starlight
so you hollow yourself in the mercy of man you just need something to find your way home and a spire of dreams are the finest of things you just need someone to carry you home
when your quiet eyes won’t speak but you can’t feel the silence and your forced to scrape and steal till your nothin but diamond
and royal kings or a choir of thieves you just need someone to find your way home a spire of dreams are the finest of things you just need someone to carry you home
