Before their return to Madison tonight at High Noon Saloon for FRZN Fest, Night Moves’ Mark Ritsema sent us a few of their favorite songs from television and film. Be sure to also check our interview with Night Moves from September when they were here to open for Dirty Projectors. [spacer height=”10px”]
1. Keith Carradine – “I’m Easy”
“From Robert Altman’s 1975 film Nashville. Keith Carradine only came out with two records after this movie but I don’t think either are as good as the way he performs in this movie. His character is perfect and there’s something about this performance that I don’t think could be captured in an audio recording without the scene to go with it. I love this song. Keith Carradine also plays on ‘Since You’ve Gone’ from the same movie and it’s equally as good.” [spacer height=”5px”]
2. Audrey Hepburn – “Moon River”
“Henry Mancini wrote this song. It’s so pretty and the setting makes it that much better.” [spacer height=”5px”]
3. Donna, Maddy, and James from Twin Peaks – “Just You”
“You wanna laugh the whole time you watch this, but it’s too good to laugh at. It makes me wish I was one of those ladies and that James would take me away on his motorcycle forever.” [spacer height=”5px”]

4. Anatoly Aleshin – “You Light Up My Life”
“(Happiness) has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. Our band also takes a lot of influence from Debby Boone. That’s why I’m choosing this song.”
