5.0 out of 5 stars You'll play it again and again..., March 18, 2005

This review is from: Dear Frankie [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

I had heard that DEAR FRANKIE was a special film, but what I didn't expect was how beautiful the music would be in it. The soundtrack has lovely piano solos that have a rippling and rolling tone to them. There are a few vocal tracks interspersed--sometimes with Frankie's voice-over narrating a letter and some songs that are entirely vocals. The vocals have a nice folk quality that don't detract from the instrumentals.

I loaded the soundtrack into my MP3 player twice--once with and once without the vocals. When I want lilting background music I put on the non-vocal version and hit "repeat."

The film DEAR FRANKIE is wonderful, with a sweet sadness to it that stays with you for days. That emotion is brought forth in part by the beautiful music. It is a must-have CD for anyone who appreciates excellent composing and piano & guitar performances.

4.0 out of 5 stars Damien Rice, September 4, 2005

This review is from: Dear Frankie [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

This cd is missing a lovely song by Damien Rice, called 'delicate'. In the movie it plays during the beach scene where Frankie is attempting to skip rocks.
Just thought i would share this piece of information.

After watching "Dear Frankie" on cable several times, I decided to buy it and the soundtrack album. I did not read the detailed list of songs before buying. Although the soundtrack is good for what it is, I was disappointed that the song "Delicate" by Damien Rice was not included. Nor was the song about the "white horse" that was sung twice during the movie, once by Lizzie and once by the club singer. It would have been nice also to have the "Macarena" song which was in the movie.
