I went directly from the movie to the music store to find the soundtrack! The music was an integral part of the movie, and the soundtrack perfectly evokes the same emotional responses the movie did. Bill Whelan is a musical genius!

From the maker of "Riverdance" comes this beutiful soundtrack to the great movie"some Mothers son". This compelling music brings back all of the pictures from the movie. Ithink the nicest song on the cd is track 3 "the seabird". The first song is great!. If you liked riverdance than you'll love this!

Yep, that's right--haven't even seen the movie yet. I stumbled upon this soundtrack at a used music store while looking for new music to choreograph to. It is an amazing CD, beautifully arranged and orchestrated.
