If You Loved The Call Me By Your Name Soundtrack, Add These Songs To Your Playlist Now


The announcement of André Aciman’s sequel to Call Me By your Name, titled Find Me and due to be released this autumn, has got us reminiscing about Luca Guadagnino’s film adaptation. We’re daydreaming about a summer romance in Northern Italy, as great as Elio and Oliver’s and set to an equally compelling soundtrack.

From classical pieces to 80’s pop/disco, the music is integral to the film and the instrumentals act as narration. For example, John Adam’s “Hallelujah Junction” – a dramatic, polyphonic piece – opens the film and mirrors the complexity of Elio and Oliver’s relationship. Frank Glazer’s “Sonatine Bureaucratique”– a light and playful piano piece – reflects the coquettish nature of the early stages of their romance. As their feelings start to deepen, Guadagnino uses Ravel’s “Une Barque Sur L’Océan From Miroirs”, with its fluttery melodic lines, to express the blossoming and deepening of their love.

Meanwhile, lyrical songs – in particular, Sufyan Steven’s now well-recognised and Oscar-nominated music – acts often as dialogue, speaking the emotions felt by Elio. “Mystery of Love” with lyrics, “Oh to see without my eyes, the first time that you kissed me”, voices his feelings for Oliver as well as his sexual awakening. Likewise, “Visions of Gideon”’s “I have loved you for the last time, is it a video? Is it a video?”, which backdrops the film’s final scene that sees Elio weeping by the fire, speaks volumes as he silently suffers.

For those who eagerly await the Call Me By Your Name book and film sequels, here is Vogue‘s list of alternative songs to listen for when you’ve heard the film’s stellar soundtrack on repeat a few too many times.
