I'm not one to buy many soundtracks. However, after watching City of Angels and hearing the music in the film, I knew this was one I would enjoy.
This soundtrack is a wonderful compilation of several genres of music. There are Alanis Morissette's hard-hitting Uninvited and Paula Cole's sexy and sizzling I Feel Love. Emotionally, these songs are 180 degrees apart from one another, yet both fit well with the way Maggie felt about Seth in different times during the movie. Jimi Hendrix's Red House will appeal to all who remember this rock and roll legend at his best.
One of my favorite songs on this soundtrack is Jude's I Know. There is one phrase in this song that I'd like to coin for myself. It goes: "You've got such a pretty smile, it's a shame the things you hide behind it." It's perfect for people who often attempt hide their troubles or sad memories beneath a happy face.
There are a couple of bluesy tunes that may make you want to get up and dance, which include Eric Clapton's Further On Up The Road and John Lee Hooker's Mama You Got A Daughter.
To end this lovely collection is a collage of New Age songs by Gabriel Yared. They are beautiful and haunting instrumentals that can lead you from feeling uplifted to feeling a bit teary.
All in all, I believe this is a fine mix of music and one that nearly anyone will enjoy.
