  • "A Life Less Ordinary" was a non-album single released by the band Ash on October 25 1997. It was the title track of the film of the same name, "A Life Less Ordinary", starring Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz, and also appeared on the film's soundtrack. The single was released in three formats: CD, 7" and cassette. The limited edition 7" was printed on blue vinyl. The song peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart. The band were personally requested for by the director of the film, Danny Boyle. This was also the first song to feature their new guitarist Charlotte Hatherley. The song had the working title of 'Film Song' and Wheeler has said of the lyrics: 'This is a song about my muse. Robert Graves wrote a book called 'White Goddess' about the goddess of poetry, which is a concept that goes back to the ancient Greeks. Maybe this makes me sound completely mad, but I have this thing about music coming from a higher place. So I was writing a song about the goddess. It's a weird love song. It says how I'd sell my soul for something to believe in, something more significant than everyday life' The song became their third Top 10 single in the UK charts, peaking at #10, and is very popular with the band and the fans. Later on, in 2002 it was included in the "Intergalactic Sonic 7″s" greatest hits collection. The song is almost always in the band's live set-lists, and also appears on the "Tokyo Blitz" DVD. The song was remixed in a slightly heavier fashion for the Japanese and US versions of "Nu-Clear Sounds". It has a different chorus and the first verse repeated in place of the second.
