I bought the CD before the movie came out, and I'm very satisfied with it. A great collection, capturing the emotions and moods of the movie quite aptly. Unfortunately, the movie itself lacked somewhat but this soundtrack can't be beat. Some highlights: If You Sleep, by Tal Bachman, I Need Love, by Sixpence None the Richer, Tic Tocs, by Tim James, 1,000 Oceans, by Tori Amos, and Skyfall, by Neve. The orchestral score and Birches are lovely, emotive works. They brought tears to my eyes even before I saw the tear-jerker movie. This CD really has appeal for everyone, from classical (the orchestral pieces), to rock (Pick A Part That's New, Sterophonics) to pop (Where You Are, by Jessica Simpson), to folk (Sixpence's selections) to alternative (Skyfall's contribution and Devin's "Whatever Turns You On.."). It's both fun (Tic Tocs) and serious (If You Sleep). It's intelligent (We Have Forgotten) and romantic (Birches). I guarantee that everyone will find at least one track on this CD that they appreciate, and most people should find the entire collection delightful and thought-provoking.

I fell in love with this movie and had to get the soundtrack and its wonderful! You see the movie in your mind as you listen to the songs. . . like "I Need Love" you see Kelley danceing with the cows. . . "Whatever Turns You on Turns Me On" you see Sam danceing around making brakefast. . . "Tic Tocs" you see Jasper give Sam a hug as they make up. . . "1000 Oceans" you see Kelley and Sam being apart from each other. . . etc. Its like seeing the movie with just listening to it. If you are a fan of HERE ON EARTH I recommend this cd highly. Its a must have with the movie!With its extra bouns of the track BRICHES where Sam and Kelley are reading it adds the cherry to the top. . . the best part. :) Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! :)

the soundtrack is ok although why would the play a song on the preview and not put it on the track? (goo goo dolls / black baloon) same thing happened at the movie Down to you! they played the same damn song and wasnt on the soundtrack? wassup with that? that is a tight song and should be played

I really love the movie Here on Earth and wanted to get the Cd. I thought the cd would be just as good. But it is just missing some songs like from the Goo Dolls/ Black balloon. I dont know why u have the song in the preview but not on the CD. But over all i love this cd.

By far, the best track on this CD is the song "Skyfall" by the band Neve. It alone is well worth the price of the disc. Get this CD, listen to that track, and you will be happy!

I loaned my copy to a friend before I listened, and I just got it back. I'm surprised at how good it is! The obvious highlight is the radio ballad "Where You Are" by Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey, but there are many more strong songs. The two Sixpence None The Richer songs are top notch. Tori Amos gives us more of her famous lyric writing skills with 1,000 Oceans, and Tal Bachman's song If You Sleep definately grows on you. The instrumental at the end entitled Here On Earth Score Suite is interesting, but kind of sounds out of place. The songs by Neve and Beth Orton are just medium, but as I have only listened to the CD a few times I am sure they will grow on me. If you are a fan of the movie you'll love the soundtrack.

The spirit of the film has been captured in this soundtrack. How fitting to include "Birches." I love Where You Are, and it reminds me of the death of Leelee's character. This soundtrack is filled with tracks that can evoke memories of the film. In regards to the comment about Black Balloon, perhaps stalled contract negotiations? To anyone looking for a good soundtrack, you can't go wrong with this. It is a must.

This is a very diverse soundtrack. It has a little something for everyone. But the best songs are those by Sixpence None The Richer, "I Need Love" and "We Have Forgotten". "I Need Love" by itself, is worth the price! "We Have Forgotten" is also a masterpiece.

Features great tunes from Jessica Simpson, Neve, Tal Bachman, Sixpence None The Richer and Tori Amos, you can't go wrong. An incredibly diverse pick of songs, though the gem are the two poetry/scores at the end of the soundtrack. The get the real vibe of the film going. I hope the movie can live up, and it looks like it will, with great thespians like Leelee Sopieski and Josh Hartnett standing in.

NEVE's "SkyFall" is by far the high point on the soundtrack, and there are other good tunes worth listening to as well, so buy this soundtrack now -- it should tide you over until Neve's debut album hits stores in June.
