Inspiration for Nothing by Peachy

I want my Ben and Matt

Now look at them Beantown guys, that's the way you do it
You put the shoe story on the Amazon
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Inspiration for nothing and your clicks for free

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a old school dial phone in your 80s office
Maybe get a call back from Michael Jordan's mum

We got to install lights camera action
Custom his airness till Affleck screams Martiniiiiiiiiiiiii
We got to move these box office tickets
We got to move these color rule-breaker sneakieeeess

See the little revenue from the Nike division of basketball
Yeah buddy it's a real problem
That can be solved with a stack of tapes to see
That smart Sonny who makes Jordan a millionaire

We got to see this winner of a movie
How about them apples says Peachy
Watch those sneakers fly off the shelves
Hoops tapes should have Boston boys named Curley

I shoulda learned to market the person
Says Converse Adidas and those guys
Look at that mama, she got it negotiated
Next please Ben and Matt, don't stop working together!

We are the last people you need to convince of the importance of shoes; we have four columns on them and have for 14 years. And, it's not who you know it's WHOM YOU KNOW and though we don't know Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, we do know Boston and like the rest of the living we met them on the screen through Good Will Hunting when Peachy was residing in BOSTON!!!!!!!!! Boston matters, shoes matter, and Ben and Matt matter!!!!!  AND THE SOUNDTRACK MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newest Project from Director/Actor Ben Affleck Chronicles the Lasting Partnership Between Michael Jordan and Nike

AIR Exclusively in Theaters Globally and Soundtrack Available Digitally with CD, Cassette and Vinyl Options Later in the Year

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment has assembled a dream team of ‘80s classics from the soundtrack to the highly-anticipated AIR, a new film from Amazon Studios, and like the movie, it has earned our Highest Recommendation.  In our movie review, we lauded that the music was among the best aspects of the movie and in particular, the exact music choice of these specific songs found in this album.

AIR (Amazon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is available digitally alongside the film’s global release date, April 5. CD, cassette, and vinyl versions are scheduled to be released on June 2, June 23 and September 15 and may be pre-ordered HERE.

From director/actor Ben Affleck - reuniting in front of the camera with longtime friend and Good Will Hunting co-star Matt Damon - AIR reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between rookie NBA superstar Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division, which revolutionized the world of sports and culture with the Air Jordan brand. This moving story follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional team with everything on the line, the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son’s immense talent, and the basketball phenom who would become the greatest of all time.  Though this is a great story standalone, it is brought into another stratosphere with this music choice.

AIR (Amazon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) takes listeners back to the ‘80s with more than a dozen favorites from Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon, The Clash, Night Ranger, Dire Straits, The Alan Parsons Project, Squeeze and many more. The songs were curated by Andrea von Foerster, an award-winning music supervisor with credits on films and television series including Yellowstone and its spin-offs, 1883 and 1923; M3GAN; Tulsa King; the Happy Death Day series and others.

The track list to AIR (Amazon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is below.

Digital/CD/Cassette

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
Ain’t Nobody - Chaka Khan
Sister Christian - Night Ranger
All I Need is a Miracle - Mike + The Mechanics
Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
Sirius - The Alan Parsons Project
Rock the Casbah - The Clash
My Adidas - Run-D.M.C.
In a Big Country - Big Country
Tempted - Squeeze
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
Can’t Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon

Air the movie is a feel good movie about how Nike started a partnership with superstar Michael Jordan. Now the sound track is totally awesome for all you 80’s fans… The opening credits roll and you here Money for nothing and about 14 other 80’s hits. Well worth buying, AIR is the soundtrack of the 1980s that you can relive today, or if you are so young to have not lived it, it gives you the opportunity to experience one of the best decades ever by song.
