This guy came back to my attention yesterday when I was posting music from movies and listened to his wonderful soundtrack from “Fried Green Tomatoes”. He has done a lot more – and I’m happy to share some of his work with you today. Please enjoy!
Allright!!! 150 Posts!!! Champagne!!! 😉 I was wondering if I should keep this “edition” until Friday for the weekly special, but what the heck! It’s 150 posts TODAY and so we celebrate today! Inspired by this post I will share with you today my top 5 movie songs, always one of my favorite topics. This is my very personal selection of great music from the movies, you might have seen some of them here before and there is so much more!… Whenever possible I will show you NOT the movie scenes but the musicians, just for a change 🙂 Enjoy them anyway!!
W.A. Mozart – Clarinet Concert Adagio (from out of Africa)
Keith Jarrett & Jan Garbarek – Country (from wonderful movie “Bella Martha”/”Mostly Martha”) played by a no name band – but it is a great performance
Americano (from the talented Mr. Ripley) – Maintitle from tha movie by Gabriel Yared, worth listening to but not available on youtube…
Thomas Newman – Whistle Stop Cafe (from the wonderful movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”) please listen to the full soundtrack (on youtube) – it is just magical music
Elvis Presley – a little less conversation (remix from Ocenas Eleven – another very cool full soundtrack!)
Just a few of the movie sounds I do love very much – they are all on the softer side.
The Perfume- Laura (sorry for the video, but the sound is great…) Listen loud. And go see the movie!
Out of Africa – I’m better at Hello
Fried green Tomatoes – The Whistle Stop Cafe
Franky and Johnny – Claire de Lune (don’t cry, its just a movie… But the music is wonderful and was used for the final scene in Oceans Eleven as well… )
The Firm – Main Theme (before y’all fall asleep listen to some great piano from Dave Grusin – and an encore below…)
After sending music videos of my choice to people that I know (and like) from time to time I thought it might be a good idea to do this on a broader scale.
There are no rules to my picks, but a theme for every day. This might be an artist, an instrument, a movie, a mood, the weather or a word, maybe 5 different version of the same song, maybe old, maybe new, throughout all musical styles.
Enjoy discovering my collection. Let me know what you think – but most important: take 15-20 minutes every day and enjoy - if you like what I’ve picked.
And share it with your friends.
