This afternoon, I was bored and I called my boyfriend to come over. We went to have a nap in the room and after some minutes, I started hearing some songs which even made me sleep but I woke up again to the songs.
Sometimes, the artiste will sing and sometimes there may be dialogues or voice overs. I didn’t care about that. All I wanted was the song to keep playing.
My boyfriend, a guy who’s so much in love with music decided to go to the living room to check who’s singing after he had try to Shazam the song but not getting it.
Surprisingly, we found out that it wasn’t songs per say. It was just a movie and the dialogue between actors was what I thought the voice over was.
At the end, I started watching the movie. My full attention was not concentrated to the movie but the music itself.
Once the song begins to get played, I give my full attention to that part of the movie again. This is what soundtrack does in movie. Sometimes, you may not like the movie but the soundtrack may be encouraging and enticing that you will be forced to watch the movie itself so that you won’t miss any part of the soundtrack when it gets played.
As a movie freak, I have watched countless number of movies but if I’m to choose my top four soundtracks, they will be;
My heart will go on by Celine Dion has been my favorite soundtrack in movie for so long and I don’t think that will change about me. The song goes too well with the plot of the movie and without seeing the movie “Titanic”, you will know that it is a love movie.
The voice of Celine Dion was just so perfect, ear piercing and also catches my attention whenever I listen to it especially when I listen to it while watching the movie.
When I first heard this soundtrack, I didn’t know it was a white man who sang it. It gave a kind of African tone and after my findings, it was Ludwig Gorranson who made this soundtrack.
Also, I’m yet to pinpoint what is so attractive about tgis soundtrack but all I can say is, it’s one of my favorite and I love the melody.
Do you know that sometimes, music does not have to be all about lyrics. Many times, it may be just your piano which will make some cool rhythms and that’s all. That’s why this soundtrack that Thomas Newman made for Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite.
If a song can be titled “solemn”, this should be the aong because it is as good as the word which I have just called it.
I was thinking about the last soundtrack to write on when I remembered Romeo and Juliet movie by Craig Armstrong. After I read the story, I headed on to watch the movie and that’s how I knew the soundtrack today.
As a lover of movies, I love soundtracks as well and here are my favorite soundtracks in movies.
