After composing for ten short films, Ethan’s first feature film soundtrack, for his brother Ari Gold’s epic air drum comedy, features a wide range of deliberately ridiculous original songs for the big cast of characters to air-drum to. Ethan’s Algerian Rai ("Nahnu Wahad") and Mexican death metal ("Cerealismo"), coffee shop folk and electro-funk, and a lot of cheesy pseudo-80s rock powers this earnestly zany cult film. Soundtrack also includes Ethan’s score which reflects the moods of the American southwest and east coast urban settings.

On a New Jersey night The boys went looking for a fight From the bay, from Cape May All the way up LBI Paulie brought his best old switchblade Timmy packed cuz he was tight Jack was scared, Joe’s prepared For the boys from old Seabright At the pier we met ‘em squarely Hit ‘em twice for every shot It’s no jive, to stay alive But we gave ‘em all we got On a New Jersey night Th-Those New Jersey nights Th-Those New Jersey nights Make it all alright Now the boys have grown up somehow Timmy works pouring concrete Jack’s around, underground Joey’s doing one to three And if you see little Shoshanna Won’t you say hello for me In my heart, she’s still part Of the life I thought I’d lead We weren’t asking for nothing More than what we got, it wasn’t a lot. No. But if they try to take Our one little piece away We’ll give them everything our fists can give ‘em Cuz on a New Jersey morning Well it isn’t much to see Purple dawn, dreams are gone Like a fading memory But on a New Jersey night The boys still putting up a fight Brothers strike, on the Pike From Secaucus to Seabright New Jersey Nights New Jersey Nights Th-Those New Jersey Nights Make it all alright New Jersey Nights New Jersey Nights Th-Those New Jersey Nights Make it all alright That's right

Nickeled and dimed Overtimed They got you workin’ so you just might lose your mind Your ears ringin’ Your eyes stingin’ When payday comes the boss man just robs ya blind Oh, they work you to the bone And they just bring ya down when you get at home You’re the man with the plan Soon they’ll all understand you Got the will, got the skill To be a super man CHORUS Impossible fantasy (believe in yourself) Is guiding you fearlessly (you and no-one else) To that glorious place At the end of the race Where your dreams run free That impossible fantasy (time to begin) Is becoming your destiny (your time to win) So raise your head high Set your sights on the sky And make your dream your new reality Paid your toll You’re on a roll They got you sweating but you still won’t lose control The bell’s ringin’ Your heart’s singin’ Clockin’ out you know they still don’t own your soul Though they work you to the bone (And they just laugh at you at home) You’re the man with the plan Only your will commands you Write the plot, cosmonaut You’ll be a Superman CHORUS Impossible fantasy (believe in yourself) Is guiding you fearlessly (you and no-one else) To that glorious place Out in outer space Where your horses run free That impossible fantasy (it’s time to begin) Is becoming your destiny (your time to win) So raise your head high you’ll rocket to the sky And make your dream your new reality

Yo…… Fui a – una fiesta Y otra vez – regreso solo Pase por – la bodega Siempre busco – la misma cosa Luz brillan – a toda hora Me va a dar mi poder Y si haya leche en el frigo Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Cerealismo! Fui a – la cama La revolución me pasa – de largo  La fruta prohibida Ahora la Muerte causa Pero – vale la pena Pero – no me importa Sé que hay leche en el frigo Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Los villancios Te hicieron pasarfrio El mundo ha esperado Tanto para abrazarte Sería como una piedra que quiere volar Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Cada noche, antes de dormirme yo necesito comer! Y lo que como es cereal! Cerealismo!

They say it’s an “impossible fantasy” They say the world will laugh at me They say, “keep your head down, You look like a clown, Dreams aren’t for you or me.” You’ve been workin’ hard All across the land But soon come a day You'll take your stand Down in the field It’s dry and hot But up in the sky You’ll be a cosmonaut Yes, you’re spreading those wings And you’re learnin’ to fly Well, you can’t succeed If you don’t try Yes, you're workin’ hard Lord knows they work you to the bone And then bring you down When you get home You got a master plan Nobody understands I know you’ll find a way To make a brighter day! That Impossible Fantasy Is guiding you fearlessly To a glorious place Out in outer space Where your horses run free! "Impossible Fantasy" Is becoming your destiny So raise your head high You'll rocket to the sky And remake the astronomy They said "Impossible Fantasy" (Time to begin!) But now the whole world is cheering me (Ah-ahhhh!!) To a glorious place Out in deepest space Yes we’ve made our dream reality!

A childhood of constant change and chaos may have led Ethan to the unique way he approaches music. He’s willing to be quiet enough to paint in songs the delicate details of the modern age, and willing to be strong enough to fight for the world as it could be. ... more
