A lot of people went out and bought this cd after watching the movie, but probably not because of Percy Sledge. Unfortunately, that's about all you get. The orchestral pieces are great background music, but are strangely prioritized for the soundtrack in the place of Michael Stipe and Rickie Lee Jones. For everyone going crazy trying to find out what songs are missing from the soundtrack, I hope this helps:

"Running From Mercy" by Rickie Lee Jones
"I'm a Good Man" by Robert Cray

"Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
"Stewart's Coat" by Rickie Lee Jones

REM sings "Everybody Hurts". It's a great song and it's a shame that it's not on this album, since it's part of a defining moment in the movie.

I thought this was an emotionally stirring movie and the soundtrack was equally moving. But there was so much more music in the movie that I was hoping and expecting to have if I bought the soundtrack. I suppose the keywords were "Music from" The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. I was very disappointed in what was missing.

The movie was soooo good, the soundtrack soooo bad, even though there was good music in the movie that fit so well.

By the way, the song in the credits was indeed by Rickie Lee Jones but the title was "Running From Mercy" and not Stewart's Coat as previously posted by someone else.

If you liked that version of Running From Mercy, check out Rickie's other CDs. She is an outstanding singer/songwriter.

For anyone who wondered what the song playing over the end credits was...it's Ricky Lee Jones singing "Stewart's Coat." It definitely should have been included on the soundtrack.

I want to know where all the music that was in the movie? I was very disappointed. Not worth the money or effort.

This is not a great CD, but it is better than most reviewers seem to rate it. If you saw the movie - and liked it as I did, you will notice several pieces in the movie missing from the CD. Why? I don't know...

BUT - Percy Sledge brings memories with When A Man Loves A Woman - again and again. And Brian Kennedy's Crazy Love never wears old.

The rest of the album, although mostly just instrumental variations on a simple theme - is still good!

Although not a great CD, it is one that you can put on in the background, hit the repeat button, and not feel rushed to change.

Give it a try - I think you will enjoy it...

i was just wondering if anyone knew what all the songs from the movie are that are not included on the soundtrack. does anyone know their titles and artists?

THis CD needed "Everybody Hurts". This is a great song! I am disappointed.

What are the other songs not on the Soundtrack? Especially,
something like, "Everyone gets lonely sometime...." Anyone
know title and artist?......
