They stopped making this CD for a while, so I had to go directly to the label that made it to get a copy. After hearing it in the movie I simply had to have it. It cost me thirty bucks and was a pain to get but never has a CD been more worth it than this one. It is haunting and simple and beautiful. It made a great movie even greater and proves that while the movie needed the score, the score does not need the movie.

Hi. This soundtrack is so good. The elton john song is called "The Last Song". I have it. If you want it hit me up on AOL instant messanger at Xtreme Rxtion ...

The two main themes resonate through the score many different times, and the 'thinking' score (French Succeed) and heartbreaking (How long to sink in?) a couple times. The longest and most beautiful track, combining all the beautiful elements is Tongues. There's over 40 minutes of breathtaking music that paints a deep contemplative picture of the world you cannot get anywhere else, combining awe and beauty with tragedy and humility. I have to be in a quiet mood for this, but it does not depress me. It makes me happy and gives me a buffer for the world, not so-rose coloured glasses to See through.

I have been searching for this haunting & heartbreaking soundtrack for years. The music fit the movies scenes so well. If you liked the film get the soundtrack. It is wonderful. It stands up on its own. Track # 10 is simply devastating.

I have recently ordered this cd and I thought Elton John's song at the end of the movie was on it. Does anyone know what the name of the song is and where to obtain it? I believe it is called "the love between a father and his son"
