Who would have thought that a movie about a little mouse could lead to the best song of 1999. Well Stuart Little has just that. While the soundtrack all around isn't exceptional, one song stands out as being one of the most prolific and dynamic ballads this listener has ever heard. "Your Where I Belong" performed by Trisha Yearwood is amazing. The song has it all. From a unforgettable, enchanting melody, to a strong yet heartfelt lyric, this track is simply moving. Trisha Yearwood has always been one of those singers who can bring out the emotion of a song and this is no different. She is able to deliver a compelling performance without going too far. The production on this song is just right. It is grand, but not over the top. Producer Keith Thomas wisely allows Trisha's voice to carry the song to it's breathtaking climax. Only one songwriter could be credited for such an wondrous track. Her name is Diane Warren. The songwriter of the decade just keeps getting better with her melody's and lyrics as this is even better then her previous opus "How Do I Live", "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" and even "Because You Loved Me". This album is worth buying just for this gem which is by my standards the best song of 1999 and a sure hit if radio programmers still remember excellence when they hear it. Besides this track, the album does have other bright spots. Brian McKnight's "Home" is very personal and goes go great with the theme of the movie and Debelah Morgan remake of another Diane Warren hit "As Long As I Can Dream" is very memorable. Yet it's hard to listen to any other song on this album because after hearing "Your Where I Belong" once, you won't be able to get enough of it!

Walking Tall, by Burt Bacharach and Tim Rice, is the class of the field. It is an unpretentious song, but it is very charming and soulful. I hope to see Lyle Lovett performing it at the Oscars ceremony. 1+1=2 is awfully catchy, and Diane Warren wrote two songs for the CD (3 and 11). The other songs are likely to be of interest only to the younger audience -- in this respect I Need To Know and A Mouse In The House have their appeal. Despite the elaborate production of Diane Warren's two songs, the Bacharach-Rice song sounds more mature (while remaining charming and captivating). Lyle, Trisha and Debelah do an excellent job performing their respective songs.

This is my second favorite soundtrack of 1999 (First being "Pokemon: The First Movie"). All the songs were great. Except for "Mouse In The House" wich was a waste to even think of. It had all the songs from the movie, the 2 best scores, and some music inspired by the movie. A must get for any fan of the movie.

this song has very special meaning for me I just wish I could get the words to it if any one knows them could you email them to me at tazette@mediaone.net I would be real glad if you can help.

This soundtrack Isn't bad I Heard Parts of it, but Expose's Version of that song "As Long As I Can Dream" is Better than Debelah Morgan's Version Anyway.

The music on the soundtrack is very fitting with the movie and after listening to the album a few times I fail to understand why the track Luck Day buy English singer songwriter Matt Goss is not the lead song for the movie. This guys vocal talents are suberb and this song is a very moving ballad that would have summed up the film beautifully. Buy this album today if only to hear the vocal and writing talents of Matt Goss

I WANT THE SONG REALLY BAD BUT I DON'T WANT THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK.....CAN YOU SEND IT TO ME ONLINE?

Need I say more? Walking Tall, the Bacharach-Rice collaboration, is an unassuming gem wonderfully performed by Lyle Lovett. It probably deserves a nomination from the Academy, and hopefully Amazon.com will include it among the songs with a RealAudio link, as it is "the class of the field." (The movie has not yet been released, and the links have not yet been placed.)

The CD also includes a few amusing songs, such as Mouse In The House and 1+1=2, and two Diane Warren songs, one performed by Trisha Yearwood, the other performed by Debelah Morgan. Debelah, whom I did not know, shows uncommon talent.

The score is by Alan Silvestri.

I believe in this song is a sware word? Is it censored on the soundtrack? isn't this movie targeted at children.

I won this CD for answering a trivia question at a sneak preview of Stuart Little...and I still feel like I wasted money. The Lyle Lovett/Bacharach/Rice tune is Fantastic, and the Brian McKnight song is very nice...but the rest is horrific. "Mouse in the House" is a joke...and the Lou Bega track is the exact same song as "Mambo #5" but in a different key with different words...I'm not joking...It's the exact same progression and melody. Buy this CD only if you are a die hard Lyle Lovett fan (as I am).
