Editorial Reviews

Kevin Costner, Robin Wright Penn, and Paul Newman star in this romantic tale about a sailor who dispatches love letters to sea in memory of his late wife. Just as the love letters are viewed as among the most touching ever written, the soundtrack is equally sentimental--16 tracks that evoke wistful days spent staring out of windows pining for lost love. Edwin McCain delivers Diane Warren's surprisingly modest "I Could Not Ask for More," a song written specifically for the movie. Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan turn soft and spooky with their whispery "Carolina" and "I Love You," respectively. Sinéad Lohan and Beth Nielsen Chapman backlight their middle-of-the-road sensibilities with dance beats. Hootie & the Blowfish's "Only Lonely" is far closer to country music (Glen Campbell-style) than country artist Faith Hill's "Let Me Let Go." Gabriel Yared contributes the instrumental title track as well as two other pieces of overswelling movie music. Redefines the term mellow. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is this girl who sings "One More Time?", March 10, 2000

Well, I thought this was a great soundtrack, what caught my attention most of all was that there's the most beautiful song I ever heard on this album, it's called One More Time, sung by Laura Pausini, the song was originally written by Richard Marx. If I could hold you one more time... like in the days when you were mine, I'd look at you 'till I was blind, so you would stay, I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile, cradle the moment, like a child, I'd stop the world if only I... could hold you one more time. Wow and this girl's voice is soooo powerful! I can't wait 'till she makes an english album, I know she is italian and will have a new album soon, I think this soundtrack is wonderful to listen to anytime, it is perfect for the true and hopeless romantic! Buy this soundtrack and enjoy the power behind "One More Time".

3.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE ONE IMPORTANT SONG MISSING - WARNING SPOILER!, February 28, 2007

By 

Ben Urbane (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Message In A Bottle: Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

I have both of the Message in a Bottle cds. They are each filled with wonderful music. Unfortunately my absolute favorite song from the movie, "Beyond the Blue" a duet by EmmyLou Harris and Patty Griffin is NOT on either cd. Beware!

It seems I am forever tracking down an errant song. Oftentimes the song is a critical heartbeat moment of the film - as in this case. Why such an important song is missing confounds me.

If you are considering this cd because you want THAT CRITICAL SONG played during the montage showing Theresa and Garret finding their lives hopeful after years of despair and loneliness, you won't find it on either of the Message in a Bottle cds. You need to add to your cart the soundtrack for the movie, Where the Heart is. That beautiful song also played at the very end of that movie AND THOSE FOLKS had the sense to put it ON THEIR SOUNDTRACK! I have not found it on any of EmmyLou Harris' or Patty Griffin's cds. Maybe it was a licensing thing, I don't know... I don't really care. Just figured I would offer a heads up and a helpful hint!

Liked the movie so I got the CD... Great, easy listening couples CD. Great by a fireplace. I play it when I sail as well. This isn't the official soundtrack (1 or 2 songs were not in the movie) but the main essence is caught. There are 3 instrumental songs that they lumped at the end but it does flow with the song progression. Get it for your Lady even if you haven't seen the movie :)
