5.0 out of 5 stars I like this music on this soundtrack very much., August 30, 2010

I love the music on this soundtrack. Every song is unique and is appropriately played at different parts in the movie. My favorite track is "Samba Da Bencao" by Bebel Gilberto. This track sounds so soothing and romantic. I don't understand a word of Portuguese, but her voice and musical arrangements on this song are beautiful. Joao Gilberto lends his talents on the tracks "S' Wonderful". and "Wave". He has a similar soothing vocal style as his daughter. My other favorite track is the song by Eddie Vedder entitled "Better Days". I believe this is a song about the quest for inner peace. I love the strings and the accordion featured on this song. Eddie's other contribution to this soundtrack is the song "The Long Road". This song features a singer by the name of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His talent is chanting, and he chants beautiful on this song. This song is very comtemplative. It sounds very pretty too. I love this song. Other songs include the Neil Young classics "Heart Of Gold" and "Harvest Moon". I love the simplicity of Neil Young lyrics on this tracks. Marvin Gaye's dance hit "Got To Give It Up" can still get me moving. This song coupled with Thank You Falletin Be Mice Elf Agin" gives this soundtrack a soulful quality I really like. Another gem on this song is the instrumental piece "Attraversiamo" by Italian composer Dario Marianelli. Attraversiamo is an Italian word that means cross over This five minute insrumental piece makes my heart soar. I really enjoy the music on this soundtrack.

Eat Pray Love : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I just saw this wonderful movie on August 15th and, at last, movies and music have made a big comeback for women in their 50's...to be shared by our best friends and daughters...and then others. This music, by various artists of the 70's and earlier, strikes the cord of life itself...memory, love, thought, desire, and hope..as well as takes one upon a journey...which is the purpose of the movie. If you loved Neil Young, Marvin Gaye, Kool and the Gang, and the best of the 70's with some older and newer music stuck in between, this is for you. Too bad that Amazon does not have this in stock nor let it be downloaded, as I would have bought or downloaded it tonight earlier. Splendid addition to any collection and perfect for listening to with someone you love...husband, lover, daughter, friend...or,a I did in the movie, first with my best friend, who knows each and every secret of my heart and soul, and then "play it forward" to others...It is my plan when I can get my hands on it!! Five stars..to meet the movie's 5 stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dog Days are Over, August 2, 2010

Love the CD and I haven't seen the movie yet so know I will like it even more once I see the movie BUT the trailer song for Eat Pray Love is "Dog Days Are Over" and it's not included on the CD? Very disappointed as that is one of the reasons I bought the CD early.
