Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This souvenir from the popular teen television drama contains several high-profile pop smashes tied to the show (Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me," Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait," and Shawn Mullins's "Shimmer"), along with a number of other tracks similar in tone and style. That is to say, if those songs' slightly wounded romanticism appeals to you, you're likely to find something else here you'll dig. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack is the perfect complement to the show!, February 9, 2005

By	Claire Decock "Claire" (Ashland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best soundtrack I've ever heard, including movie soundtracks.

As fans of the series know, music was always central to Dawson's Creek. It highlighted the emotions, and certain songs will always bring you back to memories of the show.

Each song on the CD has it's own special qualities, they're all good songs, but a few stand-out:

"Kiss Me" exemplifies the innocent romance of the teen years, and Dawson's Creek.

"Feels Like Home" is a beautiful, sweet song that speaks to all fans of the Dawson/Joey coupling.

"Life's a Bitch" is perfectly fitting for Abby Morgan's death, and it's catchy, too!

"Ready For a Fall" is eeriely calm and melancholy, a song that represents Pacey losing Andie.

"London Rain" is a fabulous pop song, which will remind all fans of Dawson building Joey her white picket fence.

"Letting Go" is an original, fun, yet sad song that represents Joey and Dawson's relationship in the second season.

The rest are great, too... and you get the theme song! Who can hear Paula Cole's "I Don't Wanna Wait" without thinking of Dawson's Creek?

Enjoy this CD, and enjoy the memories!

5.0 out of 5 stars Only gets better, February 28, 2004

By	littlecaspian (edge of the world) - See all my reviews

I remember how I was so excited when this soundtrack first came out- the show had introduced me to so many songs that I loved, yet hadn't been able to track down (pre-internet knowledge), so when I flung it into my stereo and pressed play, I was a little disappointed. No Chantal's "Before You", no Billie Myers kissing the rain, no Jann Arden singing about her "Good Mother", and definitely no Blink 182 telling the world "Dammit".

But I listened anyway. I kept the disc in there, playing it whenever I was hanging around, and a funny thing happened- I loved it. Although there are some stand-out tracks, it was the general feel of the songs, and the way they were put together to make up the album, that really encapsulated the show for me. Now, whenever I want to remember those moments from the show, or want to feel the water at the end of the dock, the grass beneath my feet, and the craziness of emotions, I put this disc in and press play.

My favorite songs became-

"London Rain"- somehow works perfectly as both a vivid reminder of the scene it was played over in the show, and a personal memory of rainy days and hopeful hearts.

"Letting Go"- this song is just divine, I can't help but sing along to its mournful little chorus.

"Stay You"- an infectious, swinging, soulful song.

"Feels Like Home"- Chantal's music just seems like Creek stuff now; it has that whispery, summery, fresh quality to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good soundtrack!, September 18, 1999

By A Customer

When I heard that the Dawson's Creek soundtrack would be released, I got very excited. I love watching it, specially some characters like Pacey and I've never lost any episode!!! So, as soon as the CD arrived in my country, I bought it. I enjoyed it because there are some good songs, such "I don't want to wait", "Kiss me", "Life's a bitch". But I got a little disappointed because some other excellent songs are missing. Who can forget the episode when Joey and Dawson were dancing in the rain, by the song "Kiss the rain" by Billie Myers? I can't believe this pretty song isn't in the soundtrack. And this is only one example. "You get what you give", "Thubthumping", "Hands", and many others should also had been included. Anyway, I still liked the CD very much!
