SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:

The Richard LaGravenese-directed movie tells the story of how a young widow discovers messages left behind by her late husband to help her lead a new life without him. The premise sounds bittersweet and almost tragic, but the soundtrack to this picture starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler is anything but depressingly gloomy. The generous 57-minute helping of music from the motion picture is a compilation of contemporary songs which will appeal to today’s listeners.

The disc starts charming us with Irish/English band The Pogues’ “Love You 'Till The End”. With guitars strumming rhythmically in the background, the tune is a romantic composition which will leave you smiling with its sweet lyrics. Then comes James “You’re Beautiful” Blunt’s “Same Mistake”. His signature voice on this track reminds us why he became wildly popular with his breakout hit in 2005. The other up can coming star to listen out for in this disc has to be Ryan Star, the famed contestant on reality show Rock Star: Supernova. His contribution “Last Train Home” is an energetic and infectious composition which warrants for repeated listening on your player.

Elsewhere, there are more tranquil tracks like Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini’s “Rewind”, critically-acclaimed Toby Lightman’s “My Sweet Song” and British-born musician Nellie McKay “P.S. I Love You”. Although simpler in their arrangements, they still invoke emotions of love and affection in different ways.

Concluding the album is John Powell’s (United 93, X-Men: The Last Stand) brief five-minute score cue from the movie. Primarily featuring the guitar, this track showcases the English composer’s flair for coming up with something light-hearted while stirring the much-needed sentiments of devotion. It’s feelings like that which we affectionately call love.
