\u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cChallengers\u201d volleys back and forth from recent past to present so dizzyingly that sometimes the musical cues are the easiest way to remember if we\u2019re in 2006 or 2019. This Spoon track, from the 2005 album \u201cGimme Fiction,\u201d offers some temporal grounding and millennial nostalgia when it plays in the background of a scene at the 2006 U.S. Open Junior Championships. Guadagnino certainly loves himself a persistent bass line!<\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n In \u201cCall Me by Your Name,\u201d another bit of diegetic pop-rock transports us to the early 1980s<\/a> as this Psychedelic Furs hit fills the dance floor of an Italian club. Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s Elio at first takes in the scene from the sidelines, and his gaze zeroes in on the still-secret object of his affection, the older, awkwardly-but-passionately dancing graduate student, Oliver.<\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n The Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke created a brooding score \u2014 his first work as a film composer \u2014 for Guadagnino\u2019s 2018 remake of the horror classic \u201cSuspiria.\u201d This haunting, hypnotic waltz plays over the film\u2019s opening credits and effectively sets the mood.<\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Guadagnino wrote the script of his 2009 romantic drama, \u201cI Am Love,\u201d which stars Tilda Swinton, with the music of the American minimalist composer John Adams in mind. Though Adams didn\u2019t write any original music for the film, he allowed Guadagnino to use many of his most famous pieces as a soundtrack, lending \u201cI Am Love\u201d a distinct and poignant emotional atmosphere.<\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n One of two beautiful ballads that the singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens wrote for \u201cCall Me by Your Name,\u201d this hushed, mandolin-kissed track was nominated for a best original song Oscar. The other, \u201cVisions of Gideon,\u201d plays over the wrenching and unforgettable closing credits, which features a closely framed long take of Elio\u2019s face as he moves through a series of emotions. (I\u2019m still<\/em> salty that Chalamet didn\u2019t win the best actor Oscar for that performance.)<\/p>\n \u25b6 Listen on <\/strong>Spotify<\/a>, Apple Music<\/a> or YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n When two young cannibals enter an abandoned house in \u201cBones and All,\u201d Guadagnino\u2019s gory 2022 flick, Lee, played by Chalamet, is excited to find a particular record in the homeowner\u2019s collection: \u201cHe\u2019s got \u2018Lick It Up,\u2019 by Kiss! That\u2019s from when they stopped wearing makeup.\u201d He puts it on the turntable and rocks out. Of course<\/em> this would be a bloodthirsty people-eater\u2019s favorite Kiss song!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n3. Spoon: \u201cI Turn My Camera On\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
