This review is from: Stealing Home: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This review refers to "Stealing Home: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" CD(Atlantic Recording)..

Okay, so the first thing you want to know is why did I go 4 stars for this beautiful album that has a 5 star selection and performances? Only because it is too short! 32 minutes is not nearly long enough. Even if they would have added more of the score of the "Stealing Home" theme music I would still have been happily swaying to the music. The CD at this time, costs more then the DVD, shouldn't we get a little more time with it.(Especially since music is easily obtained these days from other sources.)

Now that I've got that off my chest I want to say..I LOVE the music from "Stealing Home"; a film about life(and baseball) that once seen, will always stay with you. The selection is a mix of nostalgic numbers that set the mood for the era of the young Bill, Katie and Alan Applebee,some moving instrumentals of the theme music by David Foster, and of course the one that makes it worth the price of admission alone;"And When She Danced" , the gorgeous love theme.

Bookended by instrumentals it opens and closes with the "Stealing Home" Theme and "Katie's Theme" Both written and Performed by Foster exquisitely.Go back in time, to a time of innocence with "Sherry",'Sherry Bay yay Bee'(sorry I couldn't resist singing out loud!),by the Four Seasons, "Poison Ivy" by The Nylons, "Great Balls Of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis",and "Bo Diddley" by Bo Diddley(of course).Those will definitely have you moving and singing along. The Everly Brothers' "All I Have To Do Is Dream", is as wonderful as it always was, and is a treat to hear anytime! "And When She Danced" written by Foster and performed as a lovely duet by Foster and Marilyn Martin,and the "Home Movies" track, may actually evoke a lump in your throat if you have seen the film. There are 11 tracks in all.(the buying info has a complete list, but list some of the artists on the wrong songs)

This is an album that stands on it's own as some great stuff even if you haven't seen the film. But if you have seen it, you better have the film on hand. If you listen to this album you will want to view the film again!

So even though it is too short, I would still recommend it. The music is so good, it's one that stands up to many repeat playings.

"Go back in time, to a place in your mind, to the one who knew, a part of you, that you just couldn't find..."
Enjoy....Laurie

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Movie, February 25, 2003

By 

Lindsay (Arkansas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stealing Home: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I first saw this movie when i was 12. At first, when i rented it, i didn't think that i would like it, but i was proved wrong. When i watched it, it just transported me to the 60s. I loved the movie and bought it. This is a must see movie. I know that i could watch it over and over and never get tired of it. The soundtrack is wonderful, it has great oldies, and some other wonderful songs written by David Foster.

If you haven't seen this movie...rent it! If you've never listened to the soundtrack...do it, then buy it! This is such a timeless album. It holds very special meaning for my husband and I. David Foster is amazing, as usual. St. Elmo's and this CD are a must.
