Eric J. Lawrence: Hi I'm Eric J. Lawrence and I'm here with actress Ellen Page. She made a big splash in the 2007 film Juno, playing a character that was a big music lover, so we're intrigued to hear about the songs that have inspired her personally over the years as part of KCRW's Guest DJ Project. Ellen, thank you so much for coming down!

Ellen Page: Oh my god, thanks for having me.

EJL: So what's the first song you've got for us?

EP: The first song I have is a Cat Power song. This is the song "Fool" which is from the record “You Are Free” and that was the first Cat Power record I ever heard. It came out 10 years ago, so it was sort of when I was really falling in love with music and sort of getting those deep inexplicable emotions from it. I love "Fool" because there's this sadness to it and this sort of piercing quality that I think she has, and I think any art or music should make one connect to themselves deeply but also get them outside of themselves and I think this song does exactly that, it just absolutely floors me.

Song: Cat Power – “Fool”

EP: She's probably the songwriter I've listen to the most on set as an actor working because she's just so vulnerable and courageous in her letting you in. It immediately gets me to a lot of specific emotional places.

EJL: Do you use music as a preparation for your acting?

EP: Oh, absolutely. And sometimes different records or specific songs I'll have for whatever character I'm playing, and Cat Power is always around. Arcade Fire is a big one… And also I played a character once who had no music and that was sort of sad. I couldn't find music, I couldn't find music for this character, and I was like, ‘oh, it's because she has no music in her life! She's that sad’.

EJL: Wow.

EP: So music always plays a huge, huge part in getting to specific places.

EJL: That was "Fool" from Cat Power. What's the next track you've got for us?

EP: The next track I have is a song by Adam Hurst, it's called "Stone Bridge" and it's from his record called “From Silence”. He's a solo cellist and it is just astoundingly beautiful. This song specifically, for whatever reason, really reminds me of this land that my father has in Nova Scotia, which is incredibly remote. There's something about being in the woods and being in that place specifically that has such profound beauty and mystery, but also evokes so much sadness. You know? And I don't know if that's because there's just absolutely no distractions so you're sort of just left with yourself. And there's something about this song and this record and his music and the emotion that he creates its just so, so profoundly moving I couldn't recommend people getting this record more. No matter where I am in the world working or how I'm feeling, I'll put this on and lay down and it creates a stillness that I sort of feel like being in nature.

Song: Adam Hurst – “Stone Bridge”

EJL: That was "Stone Bridge" from cellist, Adam Hurst, selected by our guest, Ellen Page. The next track you've got is also sort of a one man show, the group is Youth Lagoon.
