And yet the collaboration works. The music is stripped down (at least by current Coldplay standards); it even reminds me of the The Pretender\u2019s song \u201c2,000 Miles,\u201d which <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/3tV6aHJ0z-g\">Coldplay covered<\/a> several years ago. <\/p>\n<p>The second song released from the soundtrack is <strong>Bon Iver<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cHeavenly Father.\u201d Now, I\u2019m a Bon Iver fan and all, but I did not immediately love this tune.
