while i'm at it here's some other songs the boss did for movies. he won an oscar for "streets of philadelphia" from philadelphia and "secret garden" from jerry maguire is just plain awesome.
i love movie soundtracks. i wasn't so on top of them this year as in pervious years. i do want to discuss three of them; one score that i love, one soundtrack that i love and one soundtrack that is terrible but has one absolutely amazing song on it.
firstly, my love for hans zimmer knows no bounds. his score for frost/nixon is so beautiful.
the good soundtrack is tropic thunder. it is amazing and chock full of songs i've always loved, and some guilty pleasures too. it also has a few songs i've never heard before that are wonderful.
and now the soundtrack that is terrible: twilight. (we won't get into the movie itself. haha. i may have loved it but i'll never tellll). the soundtrack, which made bank, is filled with mediocre rock songs. actually, it's the kind of stuff i would have liked in high school (for shame) so i guess i can see how it made so much money. it does, however, have one shinning light, namely iron & wine.
i work all day today and then i fly to my parents' house for christmas tomorrow morning, so this might be my last chance to post some christmas music. i'm going to post a few favorites.
"it was sophia who never fully recovered. it was she who somehow knew you best. and like you she never forgot that one night where true loved seemed possible."
cameron crowe soundtracks are always boss. this one is particularly good, and his song choice for this moment makes it all the more heartwrenching.
mp3s for sampling only--if you like it, please support the artist--visit their website, myspace, etc. if you are the owner of a sound file, and would like it removed, email me here.
