    Default An American Murder

    I got a cd recently where Glenn talks about his Soul Searchin album. He mentions that the song 'I Did it for your Love' was used as the theme for a movie called 'An American Murder'. He describes seeing the movie and it sounds very interesting. I was wondering if anyone ever came across that movie- either seen it or got it on video/DVD?

    You can buy it from Amazon. It was also called Season Of Fear.

    I hate horror movies, so I've never seen it - but - now I might have to check it out!

    Was Glenn an actor in it? Sorry for my ignorance, I've never heard of it.

    I have never been clear as to whether the movie people asked to use it, or if it was written specifically for the movie. I did read how strange Glenn thought it, that they would want a love song for a murder movie. Anybody know?

    I'm sure there's an interview out there that expands upon that, FF, but I'm not sure where it is! GA, is there more info on that interview CD?

    The song appeared on Soul Searchin' & was used in the movie which was released the following year. The liner notes for Soul Searchin' state the following:

    This song is the end title theme for the film An American Murder. A straight ahead love song for a murder mystery seemed pretty twisted to me. After all, what is murder but love gone wrong.

    The impression I get is that they asked to use the song.

    The music for the film was by Hawk Wolinski, a friend and collaborator of Glenn's at the time. He played on and co-produced the track.
