2022 soundtrack album by John Murphy
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (Original Soundtrack) soundtrack to the Marvel Studios television special The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Guardians of the Galaxy based on Marvel Comics . It was released by Hollywood Records and Marvel Music on November 23, 2022.[1] [2] John Murphy , while also includes songs from the Old 97's who also play the fictional alien band in the special.[3] [4]
Background
[ edit ]
John Murphy wrote the score for the special simultaneously while working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 [5] Guardians of the Galaxy films , Gunn had chosen music for the special "very early".[6] Rhett Miller of the Old 97's to help him compose it, as Gunn has been a fan of the band, since the 1990s.[7] [8] Kevin Bacon providing vocals for the end of the special. Bacon said "[James] has got such a great ear for needle drops [...] I love this song, it's really hard to write a fresh Christmas song at this point. I started playing it, and I really was having a good time playing it and singing it."[7]
"When I got the script, [Gunn] had referenced all the tunes, so I immediately made myself a playlist just to feel the vibe of the whole thing and listen to it a lot. And it's great, and I love the Old 97s song. It's really hard to write a new Christmas song, and I think it's got a really nice combination of sweetness and sentimentality without being a corny take on Christmas. And it rocks, and I loved it."
