I remember hearing that song being played while watching the movie Constantine.
It is still a favorite.
Which led me to their song Disillusioned.
Got a tip for us?

Not my usual weekend fare, more of a dance film watch than just a listen, or rather, quite both at once. Wow. It's based on the single Black Swan in Map of the Soul: 7 (Feb 21 release) from Korean band BTS. Choreography and video performance by the Slovenian dance company MN.
The dance video is up on YT link above, but I had bumped into it via this NPR writeup:
www.npr.org
My previous brush with K-pop phenomenon BTS had been back in May in another NPR writeup, that one about a Stephen Colbert take of himself as Ed Sullivan presenting... yeah, BTS performing their hit Boy With Luv as more or less the Beatles... some 55 years after the real Beatles had crossed that other pond to perform live for Sullivan's TV show at that same Ed Sullivan theatre. The Korean title for Boy With Luv translates literally as A Poem for Small Things, but BTS leader / rapper RM has said that both parts of the title together are what convey its full meaning. The song was from the BTS mini-album Map of the Soul: Persona.

BTS Drops 'Black Swan' — And A Lavishly Choreographed Art Film
The first single from Map of the Soul: 7, out Feb. 21, is a swirl of string-swept emo-rap introspection. The band released it Friday, alongside a video featuring Slovenia's MN Dance Company.

BTS Transforms Into The Beatles Before Your Eyes, Ed Sullivan Theater And All
If you're going to bring the K-pop superstars to the spot where The Beatles conquered American TV, you might as well milk it for all it's worth. Welcome to BTSmania, courtesy of Stephen Colbert.

Another good one... Slash & Myles Kennedy MAX Sessions - Civil War
The two of them in fine form that night... once Slash got done talkin' up front...
Oblivion - by Astor Piazzola (Musical Genius - IMHO) - played by Nadja Kossinskaja - an amazing version and beautiful performance - 💕
Love it - and don't mind slash - "talkin' up front" he earned a bit of listening (IMHO) - I really like a similar video of Slash and Myles - playing "Knock Knock on Heavens Door"
Here is another gem (IMHO) - a Beautiful Tommy Bolin song (Dreamer) covered by Myles 💕
As always on my Spotify play list, I'm listening to my two favourite main men! A mixture of Stormzy and Logic songs. Currently listening to Under pressure by Logic.
Have ordered Angela Hewitt's recent re-recording of J.S.Bach's Six Partitas.
While I wait, I listen again this evening to the 1996-97 recording that vaulted her to global attention.
Hewitt herself has said not to expect anything as startling as the differences between Glenn Gould's earlier and later recordings of these works. To her, the main differences in her own performances relate to the piano itself, the earlier recording having been on a Steinway and the later on her own Fazioli piano. The latter piano has become the favorite of a number of noted pianists in recent decades.
Several reviewers of Hewitt's newer take on Bach's keyboard partitas have commented that there's far more to the differences than just the timbre of the two instruments in question, but that her later performances are more evolutionary than a grand leap of interpretation.
When it comes to interpretative performances of Bach's keyboard works, I always think back to the acerbic retort of harpsichordist Wanda Landowski to cellist Pablo Casals, "You play Bach your way and I'll play him his way."
On the other hand, not everyone is a fan of anyone's Bach or anything else on a harpsichord. Thomas Beecham (co-founder and a conductor of the London Philharmonic) once offered this barely family-friendly assessment: "The sound of a harpsichord is like listening to two skeletons copulating on a tin roof in a thunderstorm."

Yeah, I hadn't heard the AoP13 song either and am looking up the OST on it to see if the other songs are just as worthy.thx - went to Spotify to check it out - WOW - Awesome - love it

Probably not.
I'm afraid that you may have to enlighten us.
Brilliant group.
Love it, back in the day when this album just came out some radio stations actually would play the whole song - it was a treat driving and hearing this.
1976 - Tommy Bolin - Private Eyes - great album "timeless" - listening today "Gypsy Soul"
also worthy - stratus with Billy Cobham / Jan Hammer and Leland Sklar (cool bass riff) - kind of like (safe from harm - massive attack - lol)
And of Course Deep Purple
