"All Is Love" is a song written by Karen O and Nick Zinner for the 2009 film ''Where the Wild Things Are''. The song was recorded by Karen O and the Kids, a group consisting of O, Zinner, and several other prominent indie rock musicians, and released as the lead single from the film's soundtrack on August 25, 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Releases - 'All is Love' )〕 The name "All is Love" is a play on the name of the Swedish band Love is All, whose song "Make Out Fall Out" inspired Karen O. The whimsical song contains shouting, whistling, and clapping and incorporates an untrained children's choir. "All Is Love" was widely praised by critics and received nominations for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, but did not win. Critics considered the song's failure to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song a "snub". ==Background== Spike Jonze, director of ''Where the Wild Things Are'', knew he wanted Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O to compose the film's soundtrack as soon as he began working on its screenplay.〔(Spike Jonze Q&A at BFI )〕 Though O had never worked on a soundtrack before, Jonze stated, "I just love her music and knew she could write emotionally in the way we needed the music () I wanted a lot of people working on the movie that weren’t necessarily trained in like () a bit more I just knew had the right sensibility and worked intuitively because I wanted not be like a real cerebral thing I wanted to be this very childlike, intuitive way of filmmaking."〔(Meet the Filmmaker: Spike Jonze )〕 O signed on in November 2007, two years before the film and soundtrack were released,〔 and assembled a large group of Indie Rock musicians to accompany her on tracks: Dean Fertita, Imaad Wasif, Tom Biller, Jack Lawrence, Bradford Cox, Greg Kurstin, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner. Together, O and Zinner wrote "All Is Love", the soundtrack's lead single.〔 O says she began writing with the hope of paying homage to her favorite movie music through "organic melodies, really simple performances, () a lot of emotion"〔 that "both kids and adults would appreciate."〔 Jonze hoped the film's music would have a similar mood as The Langley Schools Music Project, a collection of recordings by a rural Canadian school choir, and gave O a copy of the album ''Innocence and Despair'' to inspire her. O described the songs as "all sort of jangly and imperfect, but the heart behind it kills you." As a result, O incorporated a sixteen-person untrained children's choir into several tracks, most prominently on "All Is Love".〔(All Is Love )〕〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Is Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
