Music news magazine NME has confirmed that The National will be included on the Catching Fire soundtrack. The original title of the song? "Dying is Easy." It was deemed "too dark," however, and renamed "Lean" by the producers.
"The song was originally called 'Dying Is Easy' and I think that they thought it was a little too dark. But, you know, I get it. It was a really fun project…It was a cool change from how we normally work on things – to write something for something else. It was kind of a pressure release thing and it was fun, we really enjoyed it."

"Me, Ed and a couple of Scooters" Scooter Braun in the background.
A tweet by music industry exec Scooter Braun has got rumors flying that Ed Sheeran and Tori Kelly have collaborated on a song for the Catching Fire soundtrack. Braun's tweet - which was quickly deleted - said:
"best morning gift! @ToriKelly @edsheeran #HungerGames WOW!!!!!"
Tori Kelly posted a video to her instagram last night with Ed Sheeran. Ed says "We just made a hit!"
"lol.. good times in the studio last night with@teddysphotos. (appearance by @scooterbraun)"
Coldplay just tweeted that they're pushing back the release date of the new Catching Fire track, "Atlas" to September 6th (September 8th in the UK).
Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said this morning that the announcement of Coldplay's new Song "ATLAS" on the Catching Fire soundtrack was only the first of several announcements promoting the movie with a "100-day Countdown" to the release starting next week.
Feltheimer touted the announcement Friday morning during a call with analysts following the release of better-than-expected earnings for the studio’s first quarter ended June 30.
What can we expect for the 100-day Countdown? Definitely more announcements about artists included on the Catching Fire soundtrack. And we know Capitol Couture launches their new edition, Zoetic Sol next week. With the new edition, the new feature "Game Faces" begins, but there's no indication whether we're getting NEW portraits of the victors or if they're using the Quarter Quell portraits:
Over the next few weeks, a Capitol Couture style jury will evaluate the portraits of our victors for their allure and polish. Our judges include a makeup artist, hair stylist and physical trainer. No doubt, each victor’s prep team will anxiously await the scores. Victors will be ranked from one to ten, based on their coifs, pouts and poise.
Maybe a puzzle hunt like last year? Be prepared for the madness to start on Tuesday, August 10th when we'll officially be at 100 days to the Catching Fire premiere!
Stay Tuned!
P.S. Coldplay's song, “Atlas,” will be available through iTunes and other digital retailers through Republic Records. Lionsgate is releasing the film amid sky-high expectations on Nov. 22. Click HERE for more details on the Coldplay collab, including song lyrics.
