Welcome to the Thursday Tunes! Each week, I will showcase music, whether new or old. Hopefully you will find something that interests you here!
Sometimes music can make an otherwise mediocre movie worth watching, and the movie Great Expectations is the perfect example. Though the Gwyneth Paltrow/Ethan Hawke movie wasn’t exactly scintillating, the film score, composed in part by John Williams, is moving, haunting, and utterly beautiful. The score is infinitely superior to the actual film, bringing the entire movie to a much higher level.
This soundtrack showcases such a range of emotions, it’s incredible to listen to. While the entire soundtrack is really amazing, my favorite song is “Kissing in the Rain” – this is a track so beautiful it will move you to tears. While I unfortunately can’t provide you with a song sample here because Amazon doesn’t have the Great Expectations score available from their MP3 Store, you can go to their website and listen to it. You can purchase the Great Expectations score from Amazon.com for $12.99.

I used to listen to soundtrack quite a bit, but I have not taken the time to check out the score. I should do so.
Oh I loved this movie's soundtrack back then when it came out and I still do today. I also loved the score and haven't listened to it in a long while. I remember loving Kissing in the Rain. I should go check it out again. Thanks!
I bought this soundtrack when the movie came out. I really liked the track by Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots fame. Lots of great songs on this one.
I still have the ticket stub to this movie from when I went to see it in college. I loved the soundtrack and would listen to it all the time. Thanks for reminding me of it - I haven't listened to it in ages. Maybe its time to take it out again. Cheers!
I remember watching this movie and being impressed by the soundtrack..
