The Last Word Soundtrack (2017): Complete List of Songs & Music
In the 2017 comedy-drama film The Last Word, Harriet Lauler (Shirley MacLaine), a retired, highly controlling businesswoman, decides to micro-manage her own legacy by hiring a young local journalist, Anne Sherman (Amanda Seyfried), to write her obituary in advance. When Anne's research reveals that Harriet is universally disliked and has burned almost every bridge in her life, the initial draft falls short of Harriet's high expectations. Refusing to settle, Harriet drags an unwilling Anne along on a final journey to deliberately alter her narrative, do good deeds, and seek new experiences, including becoming a late-life radio DJ, which ultimately sparks an unexpected, life-altering friendship that reshapes both women's futures.
Mark Pellington's 2017 comedy-drama The Last Word centers its narrative on the transformative power of music, as a retired, controlling businesswoman (Shirley MacLaine) finds a new purpose as a late-life college radio DJ. Curated by acclaimed music supervisor Liza Richardson, the soundtrack features an eclectic, cool-record-store mix of garage rock, vintage soul, indie pop, and rare global psych-rock.
Harriet’s (Shirley MacLaine) late-night radio sets introduce audiences to hidden musical gems. The tracklist prominently features 1970s Zamrock tracks 'No Time' and 'The Way I Feel' by the Zambian band WITCH, alongside contemporary garage-pop hits like The Regrettes’ 'Hey Now' and Diane Coffee’s retro-flavored 'Everyday,' charting her unlikely friendship with a young journalist (Amanda Seyfried).
