The soundtrack to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013), directed by and starring Ben Stiller alongside Kristen Wiig, blends indie rock, folk, and atmospheric pop to mirror Walter’s transformation from daydreamer to adventurer. Curated with a mix of original score by Theodore Shapiro and handpicked tracks, the album features Of Monsters and Men’s rousing anthem “Dirty Paws”, José González’s ethereal “Step Out” and “Stay Alive”, and David Bowie’s classic “Space Oddity”, which becomes a pivotal motif in Walter’s journey.
Other highlights include Jack Johnson’s “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”, Rogue Wave’s “Lake Michigan”, and Junip’s moody “Far Away.” The soundtrack was released on Republic Records and stands alongside other indie-infused film soundtracks like Zach Braff’s Garden State(with The Shins, Zero 7, and Cary Brothers), Marc Webb’s (500) Days of Summer (with Regina Spektor and The Smiths), and Richard Linklater’s Boyhood (with Arcade Fire and Coldplay). The music is as central to the storytelling as the cinematography, placing the film in the tradition of pop-driven soundtracks like Into the Wild (Eddie Vedder) and Almost Famous (featuring Elton John, Cat Stevens, and Simon & Garfunkel).
