About: Cheers, To Those Who Stay is a project initiated by Cyril Aris and Mounia Akl in September 2009. They asked White Trees to write the soundtrack of their movie. The music and the film's shooting were executed simultaneously to create a perfect harmony between sights and sounds. In The Morning, is the main song of the film and is featured at its end. Influenced by contemporary and 70's artists, it mixes an 8 vocals choir with mellow piano chords, dreamy guitar sonorities and an occasional violin lines. This song slowly builds itself up to lead to a joyfull & moving ending. Get Down Now, a funky rock song that initially was a drunken night's trip for the Big Apple Jam Project. The filmakers insisted that they turn that 1 minute fuzzy track into an actual song, that ended up including a grand piano at its surprising ending.
