"The decade that brought us The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire."

NME picks their 100 best tracks of the 00s - I might not agree with the order and some of the choices, but whatever. The quote above still stands firm.

‘Horn  of Plenty’ - Panem’s National Anthem

composed by Arcade Fire

Written by Win Butler & Régine Chassagne of Arcade Fire. Win: “We were interested in making music that would be more integral in the movie, just as a mental exercise. And there’s an anthem that runs throughout the books, the national anthem of the fascist Capitol. So as a thought experiment, we tried to write what that might sound like. It’s like the Capitol’s idea of itself, basically. It’s not a pop song or anything – more of an anthem that could be playing at a big sporting event like the Games. So we did a structure for that, and then James Newton Howard made a movie-score version of it that happens in several places in the film.”

I think they’ve gone for epic. Yep, definitely epic. Epic.
