The Best Thing To Come from The Departed
As intense as The Departed is (Scorsese’s best film since Mean Streets & Taxi Driver [although Bringing Out the Dead was great too]), Van Morrison’s rendition of Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters is a keeper, particularly since I’ve been hungry for some Morrison and didn’t like his country album. He recorded Comfortably Numb at the Berlin Wall in 1990, but I’d never heard it before.
You can’t download the song alone on iTunes from the soundtrack, but you can from his just released album The Movie Hits, which is otherwise a rehash of old music, although some welcome live recordings.
