American viewers also may find themselves watching Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg (Ola G. Furuseth) — who plunges headfirst into investigating how his government failed on that day — with a wistful sigh at the sight of a politician putting his own self-interest aside for the greater good.

While the lyrics to "Over" are very Taylor Swift, the song we suspect to have been written by Swift is the title and closing track on the album—a wistful, five-minute-long acoustic ballad, which carries all the hallmarks of a classic T-Swizz record.
These songs technically aren't new, but it is an absolute treat to be able to consume them all at once; I'm currently binging on guitarist Rorik's perpetually inventive riffs, drummer Brandon's propulsive percussion, and vocalist Madison's serrated howls and wistful whisper like they just dropped on Netflix.
Valve has released a tool that tests your computer's specs with the help of cute robots from Portal, which could either set you thinking about what a VR Portal might look like or leave you with wistful memories of the years when Valve actually made games.
Kory Wheeler, James Bay's "Let It Go" If there had never been a David Cook and it was still 2008, then sure, Idol might have gotten behind this wistful 27-year-old barista and his wide-eyed expressiveness, at least for a few more weeks. Now?
Future Slum is the kind of record that's made for boozy late night bullshit sessions, long drives through half-dead suburbs, or sometimes, as with the wistful "Cinderella" or "Whatever" (which features guest vocals from Mlny Parsonz of Royal Thunder) heavy conversations about our broken world.
But a spiky charm and wistful eloquence confirmed that there was a contemporary voice at work here, perfectly attuned to texts by England's poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, that played with scenes from Shakespeare's life in a contemporary manner — without Garrick's bluster, and a lot more fun.

On Monday, when Sears filed for bankruptcy protection, I got a little wistful — not because I was particularly attached to the company, but because of the largely unsung role of its iconic catalog in helping African-Americans evade the injustices and humiliations of the Jim Crow era.
The older SH makes wistful lists of the city's now-vanished detritus: "faded signs, tattered awnings, peeling posters and filthy bricks" on the old Upper West Side, and the peep shows and "silhouettes of naked women with jutting breasts and long legs" in the old Times Square.
Wistful conversations turned to the subject of "reintegration" before many in the crowd of thousands said goodbye to new friends and began to disperse back into their normal lives, where most people around them are not privy to the psychedelic sense of what the world can be.
Loss, weariness, diminishment, the sense of a golden age long gone—you could make a case that for the past hundred and twenty years or so this has been the authentic, dominant note of Englishness in poetry, more than a wistful, Brexity yearning for a pastoral countryside.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's ninth feature film (and penultimate, if the director's threat to retire after his 10th is to be believed) is a fairy tale, a fantasy, and a wistful elegy for a world that many feel nostalgia for — including Tarantino himself.

In an interview Thursday, Mr. Blatter, the president of world soccer's governing body for 18 years and a central cog in its operation for more than four decades, was alternately upbeat and reflective, wistful and whimsical, spiritual and — perhaps most of all — unbowed regarding how he will remembered.
If traditional virtuosity contains an element of surprise, Christopher Rountree's "because I left it there" delivered it with a deceptively simple, folk-like score that Ms. Koh played while reciting a quirky, wistful monologue about an offering of frozen yogurt left to melt unappreciated on a front porch.
The plot invites comparisons to "The Americans"; the presence of Jon Hamm as a man of mystery prompts wistful memories of "Mad Men"; and the visual vocabulary — no one has bothered to address the abundance of overlit and sun-bleached shots — shows the indifference of a hasty live broadcast.
The novel flits past the canon of "school stories" like Tom Brown's Schooldays, circles the Victorian classics of schooling (Jane Eyre, David Copperfield), and eventually settles on the wistful pastoralism undercut by dread that defines certain novels of patrician childhood: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Go-Between.
She articulates this through the wistful, sodden grain of her voice, as well as lyrics that describe desire in the most revolting terms possible ("Pinky promise kisses"; "kisses like pink cotton candy"; "How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come/ someone to watch me die").
But his new EP as Virtual Self goes even further, weaponizing wistful trance builds and lonely drum breaks as blissful nostalgia bombs that level the emotional defenses of all the sensitive kids who got into the whole electronic music thing through DDR and anime, just like Robinson did.

But visualizing it is not really necessary, given the release of "Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back," a probing, wistful and, at times, hilarious documentary that is currently playing a two-week run at the Quad Cinema in New York, after which it will expand to 20 other American cities.
"Cornelia Street" is the wistful electronic ballad she's been trying to write for years, a tailored refinement of 2017's "Delicate" (itself a refinement of 2014's "Out of the Woods"): over a constant, shimmery synth glow, she whispers a story about the merging of place and memory.
Crafting a wistful sound that's an unabashed throwback to the alt-rock of yesteryear, the duo honed their unhinged anthems around Mike's speak-sing howl, without fear of getting caught up in the almost-too-obvious comparisons to Talking Heads, Berlin-era David Bowie, Echo & The Bunnymen, and others.

At once wistful, cutting, nostalgic, and utterly of-the-moment, Kanye West's The Life of Pablo is Kanye West's most overt pop move yet, an album that features one of American pop culture's most prominent icons moving further away from the country trappings that defined their earlier work.

Both foreshadow the forthcoming decades of loosely conceptual ambient tunes, but there's still plenty of lyrics on this one, which are vanilla compared to his past work (no burning babies), but more mature and wistful, as if he just fell in ("I'll Come Running") and out ("Golden Hours") of love.
Mr Eyre seems to be looking for some of the same notes that worked so well for him in "Notes of a Scandal" (2006), but this is not a lurid tale, and efforts to make it one—with wistful glances and tense, longing strings on the soundtrack—seem out of place.
Many of the women who worked on the film were at the Q&A, including Guinevere Turner, cinematographer Michelle Crenshaw, and producer Alexandra Juhasz (who was also Dunye's girlfriend at the time), and mentioned they hadn't seen the film in about 19 years, making the whole event feel wistful and nostalgic.
On his recent albums, he doesn't sound settled, but his caustic id is no longer so enthralled by the possible reactions to physical and emotional violence, or various slurs; he works from a different palette, is more interested in melancholic longing, wistful sincerity, and the brightness of Charlie Wilson's voice.
This seems to reflect the experience of the people in his life, and to belie the film's title — interview subjects like Pam Dawber, his "Mork and Mindy" co-star, and Valerie Velardi, his first wife, speak in wistful terms of a man who didn't always welcome others inside his mind.

ZACHARY WOOLFE 'DUST' It is so satisfying to see the enigmatic, wry and wistful works of Robert Ashley increasingly entering the repertory in the years after his death in 2014 — and even being done by young artists at conservatories, as "Dust" was in February at the Mannes School of Music.
His Grammy-winning single "This Is America" makes an appearance in a choreographed sequence that calls back to the song's music video, and he serenades Rihanna on the beach to "Summertime Magic" — the scene is both sweet and wistful, as he makes goofy faces at her and they dance together on a pier.
When a street brawl breaks out between the jock and outcast in episode six, it's scored almost incongruously to a melancholy, wistful lead line in lieu of the expected musical badassery—a melodic reminder, maybe, that this violent display of male aggression can sometimes stem from a lack of healthy emotional expression.
Glenn Frey, the guitarist, singer and songwriter who co-founded the Eagles, whose country-tinged, melodic rock tunes, wistful love ballads, philosophical anthems, observations of the outlaw life and testaments to the wages of decadence made it perhaps the leading American band of the 2360s, died on Monday in New York City.
Time telescopes in Martin Scorsese's newest movie, shifting back and forth through decades as old, wistful Frank narrates the tale of his life as a hitman for crime syndicate boss Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci) and then for Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino, who has somehow never worked with Scorsese until now).
