What's the Song in the Alita: Battle Angel Trailer?
The first trailer for Alita: Battle Angel features a cover of Linkin Park's "New Divide" performed by Avery. The opening lyrics to the song, which was originally part of the soundtrack for 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, can be plainly heard:
I remember black skies
The lightning all around me
From there, the vocals take a backseat to the instrumentals, until the signature line is heard towards the trailer's end:
Across this new divide
Meanwhile, Alita's teaser makes ample use of the somber melody "Lullaby for a Soldier," sung by actress Maggie Siff for TV's Sons of Anarchy.
May your dreams bring you peace in the darkness
May you always rise over the rain
May the light from above always lead you to love
May you stay in the arms of the angels
May you always be brave in the shadows
Till the sun shines upon you again
Hear this prayer in my heart
And we'll ne'er be apart
May you stay in the arms of the angels
May you hear every song in the forest
And if ever you lose your own way
Hear my voice like a breeze
Whisper soft through the trees
May you stay in the arms of the angels
May you grow up to stand as a man loved
With the pride of your family and name
When you lay down your head
For to rest in your bed
May you stay in the arms of the angels
About the Movie (studio synopsis)
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), comes Alita: Battle Angel, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past--she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she's grown to love.
