Artist:Keith Urban
Song:For You
Album:The Story So Far
For You was a top ten country hit in 2012. It is from the soundtrack of the 2012 film Act of Valor. As far as I can tell, this is the only time Keith Urban recorded a song for a film. And it's not on one of his own albums. So that means it's a discography orphan. So Urban completists will want to find this song. At the time, Urban was working on his 2013 album Fuse. Act of Valor is a 2012 film directed by Mouse McCoy and Scott Waugh and written by Kurt Johnstad. The studio was Relativity Media and the soundtrack was released on Relativity's record label. The appeal of this film is it stars active duty U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Navy Combatant-craft Crewmen. The best known actor in the film was Roselyn Sanchez. I never heard of the film and it's not the sort of film I would normally watch. But I can tell you that despite mostly negative reviews, the film made money. The score was composed by Nathan Furst. The soundtrack album is all country music artists. Sometimes the composer compiles the soundtrack. But in this case, it was veteran soundtrack coordinator Jason Markey. He asked Urban if he was interested in writing a song for the film. He screened the film for Urban and frequent collaborator Monty Powell and they wrote and produced For You. The song played over the end credits of the film. All proceeds from the single were donated to the Navy SEAL Foundation. For You reached #6 on the Country Singles chart. The song was nominated for a Best Original Song Golden Globe. As I said, Urban has never released For You on one of his own albums. The soundtrack album is available and other artists on the album include Sugarland, Jake Owen and Trace Adkins. But I recommend this 2012 Keith Urban budget comp. It is the most recent Urban comp. So that is the story of another discography orphan. Here's the video for For You by Keith Urban.
