About This Soundtrack
John Crowley's 2024 romantic drama We Live in Time stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh as a couple experiencing a decade of love, family, and unexpected tragedy. When Almut, a rising chef, receives a life-altering cancer diagnosis, she and Tobias must learn to cherish their remaining days. The film uses a nonlinear structure to capture the raw emotions of their relationship. The soundtrack acts as an emotional companion, reflecting their early courtship, domestic challenges on a quiet farm, and the bittersweet nature of their journey.
The soundtrack utilizes a mix of indie rock, electronic music, and alternative pop to enhance the emotional atmosphere. Music supervisor Nick Angel selected tracks from artists such as Wolf Alice, The xx, Jess Glynne, and Avicii to define different moments in the couple's lives. Alongside these licensed songs, composer Bryce Dessner of The National wrote a delicate and minimalist orchestral score. Dessner's piano and string arrangements highlight the beauty and fragility of the characters' shared moments without overshadowing the performances.
