Do you mean the song played during the wedding scene at the end? If so, it's Sheryl Crow and the song is called "I Shall Believe". I found it on the Roswell Soundtrack.

Elizabeth - I know what song you're talking about and I also am surprised it did not make it onto the CD, it is "I Shall Believe" by Sheryl Crow and it played during the wedding scene.

I loved that song and wish it had made it onto the soundtrack, but I fell in love even more with Richie Haven's, "Follow". Good soundtrack and the movie was really enjoyable also.

It's cool how so many of today's movie soundtracks are so eclectic. It's like listening to somebody's personal mix tapes (which most probably are pretty much) if they have really good taste. Check out this lineup: Al Green, Stan Getz, Perry Como, Herbie Hancock, Curtis Mayfield, Rick James, El Chicano, Django Reinhardt, Stewart Copeland, Richie Havens and two songs by the incomparable duo of Les McCann & Eddie Harris. Why would I ever listen to radio gaga?

There are some tunes that I had never heard before including a Cheryl Crow tune at the end that, unfortunately, did not make it to the cd. My three star rating is a result of a producer that evidently picked music he liked to add to the cd (or maybe just checked the box for 9 songs radomly) without including songs that I would have much preferred be added. Richie Haven's "Follow" is an exceptionally good addition to not only the movie but the soundtrack.

This film is of the dark comedy genre, which see's Schwimmer's character(Tom)experience a series of misadventures and awkward situations, as a result of recieving an unexpected phone call from the mother of a deceased classmate, that he can't remember.
Once Tom recieves the phone call, the hillarious up's, and heart-felt downs ensue.

Allthough Schwimmer's character is more than believable, and portray's the "middle-aged son, still living with his mother" role very well, the story falls ever so slightly short,in terms of depth.
On the up side, Paltrow's role as julie is executed with clarity and exellence. (this shines through especially in the restaurant scenes)

Overall, The Pallbearer is an outstanding film, which in someways is reminiscent of the american pie series (in terms of the emphasis on growing up, and the problems that arises from this)

This is a good collection of styles but there is one song that is missing from the soundtrack. It played during a depressing scene. It is a slow song with a woman singing and the chorus is 2 female voices harmonizing. I have heard this song many times but do not know who it is. If anyone knows please post it.
