Heart of a Dog

Original soundtrack to the 2015 film. Laurie Anderson was recently commissioned by the European TV network Arte to create a feature film-her first in 30 years. Her response was a personal essay entitled Heart of a Dog, a work encompassing joy and heartbreak and remembering and forgetting, at the heart of which is a lament for her late beloved dog Lolabelle. The Nonesuch album is the full audio recording of the film, including all music and spoken text. Heart of a Dog has been shown at the Telluride, Venice, and Toronto Film Festivals to critical praise, with the New York Times calling it a “philosophically astute, emotionally charged meditation on death, love, art and dogs.” Track Listing: Disc 1: The Lake (Instrumental) Birth of Lola Tell All the Animals From the Air Phosphenes Lola Goes Blind Iron Mountain How to Feel Sad Without Being Sad The West Village Life Lived Backwards The Cloud A Different World What If the Sky Froze- Piano Lessons Animals Are Like People The Release of Love Three Ghosts The Bardo The Real World Dreaming of Life Before Birth A Story About a Story Flow Facebook Bring Her Some Flowers The Mother Meditation
