Remember when Zooey told Patrick Fugit to "Listen to Tommy with a candle burning, and you'll see your future"? Not the greatest advice, but you did it 'cause she has those huge, hypnotizing eyes? Well Zooey's used those powers of persuasion on indie-folk troubadour M. Ward, getting him to collaborate on a soundtrack cut for The Go Getter, an upcoming indie flick starring Deschanel, Jena Malone, and a quick cameo from Ward himself (making both his acting film soundtracking debut).
Zooey's been working the music angle for a bit now, singing and strumming and setting schoolkids' hearts afire as the teacher in Bridge To Terabithia, performing in cabaret outfit If All The Stars Were Pretty Babies, and playing out with M. at Sundance. So, no surprise she and M. make beautiful music together on "When I Get To The Border" by Richard and Linda Thompson (who have been on our radars lately). Have a listen of the original and the update at The Playlist.
After the jump, a cute pic of Zooey & M. together onstage.
